Printify: Print on Demand

Good selection although printing quality is sub-par. I have a customer currently waiting 3 months for their order. I am located in North America

NO BRASIL NÃO POSSUI SUPORTE ADEQUADO. DIFÍCIL A COMUNICAÇÃO, FIZERAM EU PERDER CLIENTE POIS NÃO ENVIARAM O PRODUTO. QUANDO PEDI PARA DEVOLVEREM O DINHEIRO NO PAYPAL DISSERAM QUE NÃO FARIAM. DETESTEI O APLICATIVO.

I wish there was a 0 star... I had the absolute worst experience ever with this company, I got an order and I was trying to pay for it, they didn't take my payment method so I added money to top up balance, from paypal wouldn't take that payment method reached out to support kept getting transferred over and over again and then told I would received an email. So I wanted a refund went to withdrawal my 69.00 and it went to 0 wasn't on withdrawal side reached out to support no help opened PayPal dispute then PayPal said I won case and money would be refunded, haven't received refund yet but printify started writing me email after email after email demanding me to close PayPal case saying I was a fraud, and that. They were going to write PayPal and my bank would be tarnished luckily I've used PayPal for over 15 years, some may not be so lucky I even sent screen shots of case closed to them then I realized I hadn't received money from PayPal so I didn't know what happened and the 69.00 was sitting in top up balance.. so not sure what's going on I attempted withdrawal, but printify said it's not mine to withdrawal because my case was won on PayPal which is probably true and printify said I needed to pay an extra 15.00 because I dispute on paypal to use app, not happening lol so I requested to delete my information it says it will take up to 30 days lol smh.. I realized they are a 3rd party platform with a bunch of print on demand dropshipping suppliers, I reached out to a supplier and got my order filled for my customer, but order is late because I had to get approved on there before it could be filled I will be screening all apps from now on it's my fault I should have purchased a test item like I have from many other apps

I don't usually do rating. But this needs to be highlighted. I have sent a few emails to you guys on a lost parcel which my customer has been waiting since months. Printify sent a confirmed notification of shipping on April 25, and now it's June 26! It has been a good 2 months, totally no reply, no news, nothing. You need to rectify this!

Constantly having problems. First Printify changed in such a way that color swatches disappeared- it took my team almost a week to fix, with Printify unable to identify the problem. Now out of the blue when you try to save just the description to Shopify, Printify is overwriting everything, titles, mockups, etc. Their constant issues are causing us 100’s of hours of repeated work, and resulting in delays in opening our store - thus causing their print providers to lose sales. We may have to put in 100’s more hours and more away from printify. They don’t do the printing, only provide an interface- and if they can’t reliably offer that, then they have nothing!

It's not a practical app for designers, given that it does not allow for .ai illustrator files to be uploaded.
I was also infuriated as an Irishman to see that nearly all the images you allowed people to download for 'patties' day, wherever the hell that is, were of alcohol. We're not a nation of drinkers, that's an English stereotype. I immediately removed the app from my store thereafter.

Items are very limited also and overpriced.

I ordered $50 worth of items, one was sewn incorrectly and half the logo was cut off on the bag even though the template shows centered on my side, one of the t-shirt was unreadable right out of the box and the other t-shirt was fantastic but the first time it was washed faded to almost unrecognizable even though it was on delicate cycle. Horrible quality!

This app is SO disappointing! If I could put 0 stars on it, I would. My simple goal was to put up 5 mugs for sale on my website, on a page that said, 'Mugs'. You cannot do that with this app. (and they don't clearly state that either.) They have it set up to have each design as it's own 'category'. SO that means a separate page for each design. I have over 20 designs. I cannot have 20 pages, one for each design! My customers would never find anything! I have to have 5 or 6 pages, one for each TYPE of product.

And, If this wasn't bad enough, this beta version does not have proper tech support. All communication must be done for email and it takes 24+ hours for them to get back to you. They don't even have live chat during business hours. Shopify should not have allowed this ridiculously designed and unsupported app to be among their choices. Seriously.

--------------

And here's my update from the above review 2 months later. I wish I could add another 0 stars.

Someone from Printify called me soon after I wrote the above review and told me the issue of 'collections' and being able to have a page of mugs, not a page for every design was now fixed. He sent me a follow up email (this is a direct quote from the email) saying, " I would greatly appreciate that you hold back your ass tore review until we guide you through the app and give us a second chance."

(I could hardly believe that that kind of language was used. Seriously? an 'ass tore' review? I was and am simply stating my opinion and experience with this company. Believe me, I am being nice here after hours of wasted time and tenacious focus to make this app work, and having no chat support, etc. And, I have to add, that the guy on the phone gave me a # to call if I had any Qs or wanted help learning the app. I called that # twice and left a msg both times asking for assistance and NEVER received a call back. )

So earlier this week, I gave the app another try. I had no reason to doubt the person who called me saying this glitch was fixed. I went forward in full faith that I could now sell 5 mugs on a page named 'mugs'. I tried and tried and could not get it to do what I needed, so I emailed them, sure that I was missing something. (they have no live chat, remember). Of course that also meant that I could no longer work on this area of my business while waiting for their reply, but I was still looking forward to knowing how to do this. The email reply came this morning (surprise! a first! a response within 24 hours). AND. Drumroll. The response was: "Each uploaded artwork is a separate collection. Therefore, different mugs cannot be in one collection." and of course, the obligatory, "If you have any other questions, I will be happy to help you."

I DO have other questions. Why did someone call me and tell me the issue was fixed? Then why did that same person email me ask that I take off my 'ass tore' review and then give me a phone # to call and never return my messages? Why did Shopify allow this app? Who goes to a store and wanders all around looking for products organized by the artwork on it? (tip - people don't usually do that, and no profitable store is set up that way. If you want a mug, you go to the section of the store that carries mugs! It's not rocket science.) Why have they not updated their text on their app to explain what can and can't be done? and, WHY even try to use this app if it won't let you display the products in a way that makes sense to the customers?

Lastly, I have to say that I had to go with the different app: 'Printful' to produce my mugs. They're more expensive but they have much higher integrity, helpful phone support during business hours, email support anytime and excellent customer service. My customers are happy and I'm happy as to how promptly Printful has reordered and sent out with priority when they've made a mistake.

I'll admit, the first month of using this app was amazing. But it has gone downhill fast. Yes, it's extremely easy to use and allows orders to be sent off to production immediately after it's placed on your store, BUT it has so many weaknesses where Printful beats them out. Customer service never wants to help resolve issues either. This is coming from a customer who has used them for 2 months for over 150 shirts.

1. Everything is sub-contracted and nothing is actually printed by Printify. They take there monthly payment and really don't care about ensuring your satisfaction.

2. Some orders can take up to 14 days to fulfill. I've had this happen multiple times. I've refunded over 10 orders because of slow shipping times and taken the loss myself, Printify won't help on that front.

3. Once your order is in production (which can take only 10 minutes after an order is placed) they don't allow you to change your order. Whether its a cancellation, changing shipping address, or etc, they won't help. I've lost so much money just because of this it's not even funny. Have you ever ordered something and realize you ordered the wrong size? We all have, but they don't care. It will hurt your customer service and reviews when you break your customer the news, believe me.

4. I've had wrong shirts sent out that aren't even shirts I carry in my store. 2 weeks later, they have not refunded my money because its the "manufacturer" they use fault, not there's as a service. Absolutely absurd and so unprofessional on so many levels and this was my ultimate breaking point this week.

5. Shipping times are grossly slow. Not one of the services use First Class Mail or Priority. They use UPS ground which takes 1 week, or DHL Express which may be the worst shipping service of all time. Some times takes up to 10 days. Also, do not order from "T-Shirt and Sons" - they don't even offer a TRACKING NUMBER. We're in 2017, are you kidding me? Are you shipping it via a carrier pigeon?

I can guarantee you now that you will receive so many complaints on shipping times it is not even worth it. If someone needs it within 10 days of you placing the order, just refund there money because it won't happen I can ensure you. Even if you pay the upgrade on shipping prices, it won't get there on time (which I've done multiple times and they still ship the same method and pocket the money - I've yet to be refunded this money as well).

Though Printful is a few bucks more per shirt, there platform is EXTREMELY better. Offers various shipping speeds, has multiple centers, and you can even check on the status on your shirt at all times. I thought I'd never make the switch, but they are literally forcing me to with their terrible customer service.

I thought this platform was my new best friend as I have this being used for three different companies, but I will now be removing it from all of them and going with Printful.

Beware - you will refund so many of your customers it's not worth it. This company WILL go out of business if they continue running business this way.

Good luck.

So a customer ordered a t shirt off my store from printify and I contacted them because they did fufuill my order. Then I reached out to them because I new something was wrong and basically they didn't give a S*** and sent me the following email.

Hi Rodney, I hope you are doing well. Recently our Team discontinued Colorado Timberline from DTG product fulfillment, due to quality issues. Already created products can still be produced by the CT, however new products can't be created. Our Marketing team sent notification emails about this on 21st February.

As an alternative print provider, we integrated MyLocker, which has similar products and good pricing.

Moreover, MyLocker quality and turnaround time is much better.

If you have any other questions or need help, please feel free to reach out to us anytime.

This is rediculous and now my customer is pissed. Use printful or somebody else this company sucks and does not give a crap about there clients. If you guys need any help or recomendations contact me on my site for some of the providers is use @ www.teelish.com/pages/loyal
