CustomCat: Print on Demand

We started using this app for their wide selection, but after literally every single order having issues (I never knew how many new issues could be present with each order), we have pulled all but a small handful of their items from our store. The items we have left do not seem to have as many issues as others.

Overall, you're wasting time, stress, and money over an inferior product. Just use Printful, they have not messed up a single order.

EDIT BASED OFF OF RESPONSE: It was not fair of me to say that every order was wrong. I will note though, not every order with an issue was reported. However, what we quickly learned about CustomCat, was when a customer ordered an item from this vendor, we were crossing our fingers that their order would not have issues. On the flip side, Printful has a 100% success rate. We have not returned 1 Printful item.

Additionally, several of the "replaced" items had NEW issues. So some orders were replaced twice. Why on earth would we trust this vendor at that point? We want our customers to know that they will receive a quality product from a quality brand... and we were not that brand with CustomCat as a vendor.

I'm not leaving this review to be a jerk, just want a better product. I'll also say we have since removed every single CustomCat item from our online store in the past month or 2.

Hard to navigate and figure out how to use. No help forum or anyone to talk to live for help. hARD TO UNDERSTAND

Quality control and support doenst exist at all. They are repeatedly shipping misprinted/wrong orders and even after 10 days i havent recevied any response from them. It would be better if they just SHUT DOWN!

There are a lot of resourceful Shopify video tutorials when first getting started. Also, CustomCat has so many products available to market my brand effectively. CustomCat was an easy decision to make.

Update:
Company stating it was our design rather than their quality standards.
These same designs have been printed by several other print partners with no lack of quality.
Customcat misprinted each item and the embroidery was pathetic.
The replacement order had new issues that the first did not.
Double printing our logo in one location is not an issue with our design as they say. We followed the exact positioning guidelines & yet this issue still occurred. If they had any quality control process in place these inconsistencies would have been caught prior to shipping. If opaque areas of our design were an issue, AGAIN quality control could have flagged this prior to printing. This could've been as simple as contacting the customer to give them an opportunity to modify their design. If we could add pictures we would.
Placing the blame on the customer is ridiculous. Own your faults so you can fix/prevent this going forward.
Buy a new embroidery machine, the one you have results in blocky childlike handwriting. Unbelievable that you can stand behind what you produce.

__________Original Review Below__________

Placed a sample order before launching products on my store. The order took nearly a month to arrive! The print quality is awful. They must not check their products before shipping them to customers. The embroidery on the hat looked like a child's handwriting. The DTG shirts both came out botched. One had a misprinted line outside of the design area & the other duplicated the logo. You would think maybe this is a onetime flaw? No, they sent a reorder and it was just as bad, worse even. Both shirts had printing flaws in the same location as the first order and additional locations. The hat came out just as hideous as the first one. Absolutely terrible. So glad we didn't trust this company with our customer orders. We've had the same designs embroidered, printed & fulfilled by Printful & Printaura. The work by Printful & Printaura is flawless everytime. I cannot believe the lack of quality that Customcat produces. Why Shopify endorses them is beyond me.
I would not use this company again if I was paid to.
I don't recommend using this company to dropship your designs. If your customers receive the quality we did you will lose that customer guaranteed.

Great customer support and a clean integration with Shopify. The products they provide are top notch and I've been very pleased in all my transactions with them.

great customer service and very fast responses to my emails.

I have been a believer of CC from day 1. I am able to offer my customers a variety of quality products making their shopping experience that much better. They make sure no matter what issues happen my shop and customers are taken care of. Once you understand the overall process of things it is easy and makes running my POD business that much simpler. Here is to many more years with CC!

Great app! So useful, big help to our business and very easy to make new custom products, put them up for sale, and get them shipped. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Can't say enough about Custom Cat. Been using custom cat for about 5 years now, and they've always delivered great quality products, not to mention the size of their collection is one of the biggest in the POD space. Alex Phillips has been a superstar in regards to keeping me updated with Custom Cat's products (so I can launch products as fast as possible), any account / customer issues that have arisen, and much more. Thus far I've spent well over $400,000 across multiple businesses using Custom Cat.
