Please can you send the A3 format (11.7x16.5) in a tube ? Because the posters arrive torn or crumpled when they are in cardboard. Thank you

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback and sorry to hear about the issue with your order.

This kind of feedback, paired with constant monitoring of data from our global network, has helped us to improve our service. We are glad to inform you that we now ship posters larger than A4 (i.e. also A3!) in a tube instead of a flat packaging.

There are some small exceptions in certain markets for which we use either a tube plus shipping roll or a triangular/rectangular box due to local requirements. You can find more details here: https://apisupport.gelato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013857939-How-are-the-orders-packaged-for-shipping-

Once again, thank you for your great feedback and please do not hesitate to reach out to us again if there is anything else we can do to support you.

Thanks!
Achille

I've been using (or trying to use) Gelato with a few different stores now. And a few things leave a sour taste in my mouth.
They don't actually blind ship. There appears to be no way to actually have my company address as the sender for manual orders. This has left to angry customers accusing me of ripping them off. The help service wanted proof of this and refused to help me. So for me to NOT have their printing partners address slapped over everything, I have to ship the order to me, then repackage, then ship out to my customer which is a total freaking joke. So by the time I've paid, $15 for a mug plus incredibly high shipping rates from the mug place within my own city to me, repackaging and reposting I'm losing money.

It takes multiple attempts to get the colors right. This might just be an issue with the NZ print partner they use, but I often have to refund and reorder 5 or 6 times before it is right.

Customer service is hit and miss. Unless you are dealing with the higher ups, it really feels like their help team doesn't care about your issues and just wants to pass the buck.

Once you get the products the way you want, they are good quality but again - this is very hit and miss with individual print partners. All in all this company is a headache to to deal with and I don't recommend them if you need to blind ship because they will cost you time and money.

Hello Stacey,

We're really sorry to hear about your experience, and we'd love to make it up for you.

Having closer look at this case, we've noticed chat conversations in regards to that matter. Due to our internal procedures around storing customer's data and retention, we currently do not have access to the shipping label generated for order placed in March. Our Agents tried to ask for the picture of shipping label, so we can further investigate the mentioned issue. Without it, it is harder for us to troubleshoot and find the root cause.

We're also very sorry that you've faced issues with your initial order last September. Since then, we have improved a lot of things, to ensure produced items will meet expectations. We can see the march order was placed for the very similar design (different color), and I hope that even though you've faced a return address issue - the quality of the received mug met your expectations. It was produced at the same facility, as the first order.

I will reach out to you personally, so we can get to the root cause of the shipping label issue. We offer 100% white-label service, so it something went wrong - we will fix it.

Best regards,
Bartosz

I ordered a metal print of one of my paintings as a test.
I was shocked at the incredibly low quality.
Colors were very dull.
My greatest fear is that someone would order this product. Fortunately I’m just getting started and no one has placed an order.
I have to assume all the other product of similar quality.
Unfortunately I had to removed the app.

The worst application, I do not recommend it to anyone. After one wash, the products are suitable for wiping the floor, not for wearing. 20 of my 100 packages were lost. Some of the parcels that arrived had wrong prints. these are scammers!!

App claims to do 3 day shipping but in reality fulfillment in Canada takes a week and often item doesn't arrive for 1.5 to 2 weeks. Editing products if you make a mistake is difficult, have to start over from scratch and cannot delete the incorrect item just have to select "ignore" which means you then have duplicates of the item visible in Gelato. Customer service only by email now (Previously would have live chat). No phone numbers if you run into an issue takes them an day to email you back. Had to pull tote bags from my store because quality was so bad. I Don't recommend this app.

Hi,

To start with, we were saddened to read about the frustration you've had getting started with on-demand fulfillment. Our team is here to clarify how certain processes work on our platform to avoid these delays in the future, and hope that in doing so, you will give us the opportunity to re-earn your trust.

We are glad to see that you did find our Live Chat support after posting this - available 24/7 here: https://apisupport.gelato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017261160-How-do-I-contact-Gelato- - and that we were able to begin to work together to get your clients their orders.

As was clarified on the chat, the long delivery time was due to a misunderstanding on connecting your products via your Shopify store, which meant Gelato never received your order. We have shared information on how to correctly connect products so that Gelato will receive them for fulfillment, are happy to walk through it on a video call so we can make sure all your products are now correctly connected.

Our team has coordinated directly with our partners to produce the orders right away and will expedite delivery to your customers at no cost to you.

We understand that we could make it clearer to ignore products and avoid these misunderstandings. Our engineering team is using your feedback to improve this part of the platform.

We also appreciate the feedback on our tote bags. As we mentioned in our messages to you, we will be launching a wide range of tote bags in the next few weeks. We would be happy to work with you to find a tote bag that meets your needs.

We've reached out to you on the phone but weren’t able to connect yet. We have shared our direct contact information to discuss your feedback and the growth of your store in more detail - please feel free to reach out anytime.

We are striving to improve our service every day, and I hope you'll give us the chance to earn your trust again.

Best,

Sadly, very disappointing.
I ordered a sample order of one of my products, and the print quality was terrible. It looked as though the printer had run out of ink halfway through the printing process. I can also see that a mistake had been covered up with the new faded print on top! - Just awful.
I will definitely be uninstalling Gelato from integrating with my store, as I will be very embarrassed for any of my customers to receive such a low-quality print standard, and of course, with my brand name on it!!!
Such a shame.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and leave this review.

I am so sorry to hear about this experience - this should have never happened.

I've checked the system, and while I was able to find your order, I'm afraid you didn't have a chance to report this issue to our Support Team.
I've now followed up with. you offline, hoping I could get some pictures of the received item, what would enable me to investigate this further.

Please know, that Gelato products are covered by 30-days guarantee, and we provide refunds for products not meeting the quality standards, what was also done by me now in that case.

I hope to hear back from you soon, and I'm sure that after we get to the root cause - we'll be able to sort this our for you.

Thank you,

I love the integration. It works seamlessly. The only concern is the flat rate shipping. Your Shopify store charges a flat rate but the actual shipping cost would vary by weight and there's no way to solve this other than editing shipping profiles for each product and each shipping zone which is quite tedious

Thanks for the review. It's great to hear your thoughts and feedback. We're reaching out with more information on how you can test out our "live shipping rates" which is a great solution to avoid editing the rates manually. If you have any questions our team is available 24/7. Kind regards, Kyle.

I highly discourage anyone who wants to create personalized products with gelato. Gelato+ still has far too many bugs to fix. I had to recreate a design 3 times because there were always technical problems. I'm just waiting for a response from Gelato's IT team because my theme just won't load and neither I nor support can explain it.
