Gelato: Print on Demand

I am using Gelato for my UK Shopify store (www.myprintsgallery.com) and it is working like a charm. With its model of local production and local shipping, I do not think any of the other POD apps in Shopify are close to be able to follow on production time and shipping time. Of course this gives a "wow"-factor to customers when receiving their orders so fast, as if it were from a shop next door. In addition, the feedback I am receiving on product/print quality so far is brilliant (I am selling posters and canvas). I have had zero returns so far. Customer service is very responsive and willing to help immediately in case of any questions. As with any business dealing with production and sales of physical goods there is always the odd chance something will happen in the supply chain at some point for a customer order. It is great to know customer service will be right there on the spot to support so I in turn can give an answer to my customers quickly which they rightly expect (even if the answer might not always be what they ideally hope for).

seems easy to work with

We are using Gelato for our Print-On-Demand personalized products - and not only do they offer great quality prints, but their application also works perfectly - on top of a great, absolutely supporting team that helps with absolutely everything. We were working with Printify before and are super happy we switched!

I’m new to the Gelato app, and their service. However they have a seamless integration system, their product quality is bang on with the quality I sell in our Brick and Mortar stores and their customer service is amazing!

Sehr einfache Integration, intuitive Bedienung. Klare, verständliche Benachrichtigungen während Bestellprozessen. Gute Qualität von Papier und Bilderrahmen. Ich bin sehr zufrieden!

Absolutely amazing service! They print and ship out orders incredibly fast on a high-quality selection of products worldwide. Also, their team really cares about your success and will schedule a team meeting with you to plan out business goals and help you strategize your growth. Highly recommend!

Gelato has a very helpful staff, fast shipping, great quality. In two words: reliable printing partner!

Someone responded to my question in a timely manner and my problem was resolve. It was a pretty easy and seamless process.

So far so good. Still early but lots of flexible helpful options and much still to explore. Have placed first order to monitor fulfilment process. Again, so far so good.

First of all, this is not a paid review. It will probably sound like that, but rest assure I'm just a satisfied customer. Since a lot of reviewers here seem a little quick on the negative, I thought I balance that out with a little more indepth good experience. I been using one of Gelatos competitors for 2 years, and been super happy. Everything have worked out fine, and it was easy to use. Never had any returns, which means the customers was satisfied with the products. So I really wasn’t searching for a new provider, but the customers have had been waiting longer and longer for their orders. Sometimes up to 2-3 weeks. I know it’s challenging times, but it’s another problem nevertheless. One day someone asked me if I used ”Gelato”, a name that never came up in my research when I was looking to find a fulfillment partner the first time. Of course I looked them up, just out of curiosity. And since I’ve begun having some issues with long shipping times, I immediately fell for their "Local shipping, worldwide” USP. Since I really had nothing to lose, I gave them I try. Without disconnecting the fulfillement partner I already had, of course. A couple of hours after I signed up, I got a standard ”welcome letter”. Which was nice, but since there was one thing missing in Gelato I really liked in my current provider (A library of my files) I decided to answer that bot-mail and tell them that. To my surprise, I got an answer after just a couple of minutes. They told me this was under development, and will be on Gelato soon. But until then he presented a personal work-around that would solve my ”problem”. And it definitely did. After that, I’ve continued to send them my personal thoughts on my experience, and they kept on delivering superb answers and solutions to each of my questions. Now I have, together with them, created a tailored solution that works almost perfect for my needs, and way better than it did at the competitor before. The better pricing is really just a bonus, to have the customers receive their products within a couple of days is amazing. I´m superhappy I took a chance.
