BE CAREFUL - CHECK THEIR WORK BEFORE PROCEED TO SELL.
Their marketing presentation and the initial set up process are flawless. very easy and convincing... pricing they display are also the best in the market.
BUT. be careful, you never have a chance to check their work since they directly ship a product to a customer.
We decided to place test orders for our staffs (Strongly recommend to do this to avoid the same mistake we made).
1. Shipping method they used from their factory was 'terrible'. The wrapping was terrible, and the shirt/hoodies were jammed in. - it is nearly a professional packing.
2. Most importantly, the design was not printed correctly (it was completely off). we printed 6 samples, The design of it was printed all wrong size, wrong locations. "each shirt" has a slightly different location and size. They do not print according to the design you signed off.
3. The material of the shirts/hoodies are very poor and it is nearly identical to the sample photos. Customers also complained. it has a very strong chemical smell when arrived. (due to prewashed) We use different vendor now and specify the same pre-washed but it does not smell like the one we received from Teelaunch.
4. Customer service is close to none. the only way to get hold of them are 'chatting' in general, and they almost never call you back. we had to call so many times to get hold of a live- person.
Please do not get us wrong. we do not mean to put them in trouble. however, we thought it was fair to share our experience so that you will not have to go through the same experiences we had. We had to contact all customers and asked them if they received the correct design shirt/hoodies. "every customer' replied and said "no" So we issued a full refund to do the right thing.
Good:
They did realize that it was their fault (after we attempted to call, email, chat with them). They simply asked us to show them a proof so we forwarded all customer's messages as well as the photos of the test orders we made.
After 2 months later, they issued a full refund. They are at least honest but they are nearly Pro level that you should not count on.
- Best advice. - Stay away. if you decide to use them for some reasons, make sure you place your own test order so that you know what you are dealing with before you sell it to your own customers.
we have many photos if you would like to see.
(there are multiple factories in the US and they do not know which factory your product will be shipped).
The customer service for Teelaunch is terrible. Especially if you get Dave. This app is clunky compared to others such as printful.
I have had so many issues with this company. I've been with these guys for 3 years and I sell 80 to 100 signs a month. They wont do anything to fix the problem. I've had 3 damaged signs this month. They package these signs in thin cardboard sleeves, its honestly a joke. I've talked to other sellers and they are having the same issues. They make you jump through hoops get a refund. They use a company in Louisiana. Also when I complained before the CEO was supposed to contact me but he blew me off. This company is the worst when it comes to customer service. I've been looking for a metal company unfortunately they are hard to find. The moment I find one, I am out. So if you expect to use them, prepare for big losses because you will be refunding $200-300 orders back.
This is Christopher, founder of teelaunch. First, I want to sincerely apologize for not reaching out sooner - there was a communication breakdown on our end. As a long-term partner who's been with us for 3 years, you deserved better communication from me.
I want to be transparent about our metal signs production. As I've mentioned before, these are produced by a partner factory in our extended network. They face the complex challenge of balancing three key factors: cost, speed, and quality. They've done extensive analysis to find the current sweet spot - while thicker metal would reduce bending issues, it would significantly drive up costs for our sellers. Similarly, sturdier packaging would substantially increase packaging time for each individual sign, slowing down production considerably.
We've successfully sold hundreds of thousands of these signs with a very small percentage of issues. When problems do occur, we always make it right with either a refund or replacement. However, I should note that the claim process for replacements or refunds is actually set by UPS, not us, and unfortunately we have no control over their procedures.
I know this may not be the perfect solution for everyone's needs, but this is the current product offering our factory partner has optimized for the majority of our sellers. We truly value your business and feedback, and I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to explain the situation.
BE CAREFUL! Exercise caution when dealing with TEELAUNCH. While they may fulfill a few orders promptly, ordering in more than a few orders poses a risk. They struggle to meet deadlines when you start submitting more than a few orders and to exacerbate the issue, they enforce a 10-day no-movement tracking policy. This means they acquire the tracking information but don't dispatch the item to the courier for an entire ten days. Unfortunately, this policy nearly compromised my business during the last Christmas season.
Thank you for bringing up your experience from January 2024! I'm excited to share that we've completely transformed our blanket production since then. We've expanded to two state-of-the-art facilities and significantly boosted our capacity - we can now produce up to 1,000 blankets per hour! We've also switched to a new shipping service to ensure smoother delivery. While I understand your frustration with the issues you faced last year, I'm happy to say those concerns have been fully addressed with our new setup. I'd love for you to check out our improved blankets and service - we've come a long way! 😊
Oh boy, I really wanted to like this app. I downloaded it today, launched 1 product and immediately had issues. With jewelry, they send a text box for customization. Well you can't select the finish until you add the name into this unmarked box. The box is also located just above the add to cart button. Somehow they have it locked down that you cannot change the order of any options for this product. You cannot take the box out, label it or list it first. This is confusing as everything is grayed out until that box is filled. I contacted customer support and was told it was a shopify issue (I spoke to them first) and that I should just put a note in to fill out the box first. I'm sorry I have to just deal with the bad coding? Uh no. This is my business and if you cannot correct something to make it functional, and let's be honest, correct, I don't think we can be in business together. First day 2 hours, waste of time. If they contact me regarding this and fix the issue I will update my review.
Very sorry for the issues, I've reached out to you this morning to figure out how I can resolve this for you.
I've been trying to sign up for an acccount but it just keeps "thinking" and never connecting. Shame.
Cannot sign in to the api. It stock in account creation page
Can you please message me at christopher@teelaunch.com and I'm sure we can get your API up and running for you.
Please STAY AWAY from this app. Particularly if you have many SKUs; whenever you receive an order, it will require you to manually go to the app, find the order, and select MANUALLY which items belong to teelaunch and which items don't. It's an absolute waste of time. I had to refund my first order and delete the app after a week of trying to fix the app. The customer service is basically useless as well.
I’m Christopher, founder of teelaunch. While critical feedback is heard to hear it’s the only way we can get better, so thank you for leaving this review. While developing our app we wanted to make it easy for people to bring in products to teelaunch that they use to fulfill themselves or with someone else. That is why we created the product linking feature, which lets you link your Shopify products with your teelaunch products for fulfillment. For the vast majority of our customers this is a non-issue as products created in our app are automatically linked and no manual work is necessary to designate products as teelaunch products.
Your use case is a little different. It seems like you either fulfill yourself or through other providers more than a few products. We do have an ignore button that lets the app know that those products are not to be fulfilled by teelaunch but it was created with a smaller number of non-teelaunch products in mind. I’ve been working with the dev team to implement a feature that let you tell the app to ignore all unlinked (non teelaunch products). While this solution is coming too late for you, I appreciate your feedback so now users like you will be able to enjoy the app in the future.
I worked well for years. I just updated the app and my existing order is gone. I'll have to refund the customer. Going to go with another vendor.
I am so sorry that you had trouble with this order, I was able to resolve your issue with the app and I verified and the order was received by the customer.
Like one of the reviewers, i have been using this for a couple of years. Then they made an update and I was never notified until one of my orders never processed. I too was told I had to create a new account, only to find that my items i created were no longer in the app, but was assured when an order was placed it would sinc that product. There use to be an easy option once the product was create to push it to Etsy. That is now gone also. It was free and easy to use and now I have to pay for another app that will connect my Shopify items to Etsy. When I downloaded that and got two orders, one of the tumblers on each order was the wrong one...correct on Etsy, wrong in Shopify and TeeLaunch. I was asked if I had changed the SKU's. I haven't touched any of my listings in over a year...SKU's are auto generated...have no reason to touch them unless I intentionally don't want to get orders. Needless to say, the last couple of weeks have been a mess!!!
