Too long, won't read version of review: Amazing customer service, great products (quality superior to other POD services), shipping/production is so far questionable, and a very bad product editor. Their quality beats the other POD clothing options, period. The clothing Apliiq sends is simply better than others. The selection is robust and, in general, in great condition. Embroidery is clean and professional, and the prints look great. That being said, there's a couple caveats that let my rating fall to 4-Stars: - The clothing can take a bit longer than advertised to ship. I haven't opened shop yet, but the 2 sample orders I've purchased with a total of about 15 items were both delayed without an attempt to contact me. Both times the sample orders hadn't even entered production after a couple of weeks. I realize this isn't inherently indicative of the regular customer experience, and that they have more than my order to worry about, but I can't ignore it. - The MUCH bigger problem is the product editor. It is remarkably far behind the other 4 POD services I've product tested with. You can't type what dimensions you want your art to be, you can't zoom the product being designed for a more precise placement, and possibly the worst part is that (due in part to the lack of sizing function beyond drag/drop) if you drag-size your artwork to the min/max the space will allow, it will subsequently change the resizing values. It's like this: * I'm setting some art I want to be 10.5 inches. If I drag all the way to either small or large, the next time I try to set it to 10.5in, the max will be 10.4, or 10.3, or some number like that. The problem is also progressive; It gets worst the more times you hit the limits. The last item I was working on lost .3in of available size, so now the variants of the product each have slightly different size artwork on the same product. It would be such a simple solution to be able to input your desired size (which is the industry norm) and the drag-sizing just feels archaic and inefficient. (You can specify what you want the true size to be with the artists, but this just seems like it's adding a step for fun). Sorry for the paragraphs, but hopefully I communicated my stance well enough.
Thank you for leaving this review, don't worry the Apliiq team reads the entire review. 🤣 Fair point on the product customizer, but frankly, no mockup will capture the products Apliiq creates for our brand partners. It's why most fashion brands that take eCommerce seriously use real product photos. We definitely recommend using the samples to take a few real photos. The customizer gives you the ability to leave a note, so it should be simple to state the exact size you want your artwork printed or embroidered, don't worry about the estimates. Order turn times are 3 days in LA & 4 days in PHL, as of writing. The sample orders you placed are not representative of an eCommerce order your customer will place for a few reasons: * the first time Apliiq makes a product a real human will review your artwork to ensure it will get a good result. it adds time, but improves quality for first time purchases. there is no delay on subsequent orders, once artwork is approved. * the more number of custom items within an order the longer it will take to make an order. Most ecommerce orders from your customers will be 1.2 items on average. Orders of this size, on average will ship faster than orders with 6-7 products, especially if all the products are new. We will look into mock up and photography possibilities, to see what improvements can be made. 🎖 Best, -the Apliiq team

Apliiq of all of the vendors we work with to create clothing, they are the best. Customer service is very responsive. Pete has been great too when we need something out of the ordinary. The app is great and the options Apliiq has for custom branding. I think Apliiq has some unique options that we can leverage for hoodies, crop tops, shirts, shorts, etc. I would definitely recommend them. Across the board they get a 5 out of 5.
Thank you so much for the review. The Apliiq team really loves to work with partners to bring their brands to life through quality apparel products. The team is proud to help our brand partners limit their financial risk and reduce waste by making products on demand whenever possible. So glad we found each other! Talk soon!

I recently had an outstanding customer service experience with Apliiq, thanks to the Manager of Customer Success named Pete. He was incredibly attentive and helpful throughout our interaction, demonstrating both professionalism and friendliness. Pete understood that I had a deadline to meet and worked diligently to help me find a solution that would allow me to meet it. I had an error with the woven label I had purchased. Pete acknowledged the mistake and assured me it would be corrected. Although fixing the error wouldn't be possible in time for my deadline, his understanding and dedication to resolving my concerns left a lasting impression. One such example involves my logo colors, which are black and gold. While it may seem obvious that printing the black color onto a black shirt wouldn't show up well, Pete astutely pointed out that we could use white as an inverse color, thus providing a suitable and visually appealing solution. It was oversite on my part but I appreciated the fact that Pete pointed this out to me. What truly sets Apliiq apart is their customer service, professionalism, friendliness, and courtesy. Pete made me feel valued and heard, and he even encouraged me to reach out to them if I ever need assistance in the future. I cannot recommend Apliiq and Pete highly enough. Their unparalleled commitment to customer satisfaction and the exceptional service they provide make them a top choice for anyone in need of their services. Give them a try, and you won't be disappointed.

I've had a really great experience with Apliiq. Since this was my first business I've launched I had some difficult times and pressing questions I needed answers on in depth. Not only did the entire team help but they handled everything with care and class. I scheduled way over the amount of calls I should of but they were always kind. Elena was the first person that I spoke to and really cared for me and my brand. Pete also was very amazing and is on top of his ish. The material of the clothing and print is phenomenal I couldn't ask for a better partnership and I'm truly thankful.

Their DTG print quality is a major disappointment. On darker base layers, you can tell they aren't printing the white underlay prior to dropping in color, which means the vibrance of the print is nowhere near what Printful and Printify provide. I still give them two stars because they provide garments that can't be found elsewhere (especially for kids). But if DTG is a major part of your business, Apliiq is not the one stop shop you may be hoping for.
Thank you for leaving a review. Something is definitely not right here. Partners typically rave that Apliiq's printing process consistently gets better results than the other guys. I noticed you haven't sent in any pictures from your sample order, please do. The Apliiq team can make small adjustments in the colors of your file or help you select a garment that will get great printing results. Apliiq always prints a white under base beneath your artwork when printing on non white garments. Let's get to the bottom of this, it typically doesn't take more than a few minutes, -Your Apliiq team

I made Apliiq my new printer for my brand. There was a printing error on a recent order. I brought it to the attention of Apliiq and Peter reached out to me and addressed the error immediately. For me, this was very important because I know they do care about their clients and their clients customers. I look forward to a great relationship as they help me grow my brand.

Apliiq continues to be my number one choice for print-on-demand and drop shipping. They are eager to assist, plus you're always speaking with a REAL person, not a bot. Their quality control is exceptional! I have used dozens of other companies like Printful and Printify, but you never know what to expect from them. With Apliiq, I never have to worry. They offer trendy and affordable apparel with unique ways to customize each garment - my customers love the printed hoods! I want to give a special shout-out to Pete; he is the BEST! Very easy to talk to, super down to earth, and one of the main reasons I continue to place large orders with Apliiq.

Turn around time is impressive, product is amazing, and the people are so easy to work with! Peter, the head of their customer service, is an absolutely awesome person to work with. I was hesitant about using this whole process and Apliiq has truly impressed me. Definitely recommend!!!!

Great products. Aren’t the best prices, but tons and tons of customization to make products your own. I was just told they have a VIP program, so 20% off fixes the price issue. Also, their staff is the best in the business. Legit the easiest POD program to deal with. The competitors are in the business of arguing about things they messed up. Apliiq never messes up and is constantly there to help you out.
Thanks for leaving a quick review. Please make sure you are looking at the dropship prices, not sample prices. The Apliiq app offers the largest catalog of high quality premium apparel products. We look forward to supporting your brand. -Your Apliiq Team

ok so this is an update to my last review. so after some miscommunication with one of the reps. one of the managers, peter, reached out to me and helped fix the situation. He went out of his way to help me and to make sure my customer was satisfied as well. I am looking forward to working with them more.
