RecombinantCulture review for Gelato: Print on Demand

July 29, 2023

I use the Gelato app daily, as my sole POD dropshipper for both my Etsy store and my Shopify dot com. I think Gelato is excellent: it works quickly, smoothly, effectively, and efficiently; I've had zero interest in looking into any other service. The mobile app is great, in some cases quicker and more effective than the desktop app (in approving orders, for example). The role that Gelato has played in magnifying the reach and breadth of my side-hustle can't be over-stated: it opened up the entire world to my products, substantially deepened my product line into frames, canvas, mugs, and t-shirts, and I regularly get compliments from many of my customers (some of whom are in far-flung locations like Perth, Australia) at how fast the service is, and how thorough the packaging is (a reflection on how Gelato chooses its international partners). My customer dissatisfaction rate is about 2%, but my satisfaction rate with how my dissatisfied customer issues have been addressed and resolved is 100%. Customer service reaction time is extremely quick, and clearly devoted to over-delivering solutions. Naturally the numbers have to make sense for your business, but I'm a Gelato Gold+ subscriber and that continues to stand as the easily the best ROI I've seen - absolute no-brainer. I recommend it without reservation.
