bad support service no email back when i have question..long production time
Sept. 26, 2025
I used Gooten for POD for about 6 months... All of a sudden multiple orders were not being pushed properly to Gooten. I contacted customer support several times to try to fix the issue. Following their instructions now my entire store will not connect with Gooten. I have emailed, and emailed, and emailed asking for help but their support team is slow to respond and doesn't have any explanations nor solutions. Avoid at all cost...or it might cost you business.

I have been using Gooten for over a year now. For mostly Woven Blankets and desk mats. I have consistently received 5 star reviews on Etsy until the past month. My customers were not getting their products on time. Products were just sitting in production. No messages from Gooten. Then their website started returning 404 errors. They didn't update the facebook group to tell us anything. I had about 5 deskmats come through in one day only for them to charge me for them, the deskmats sit for days and then randomly send me an email saying they are SOLD OUT! I was sending emails daily. Their turn around time for responding to emails is 4 days! 36 business hours! Business hours are 9-5. In the midst of this, my woven blankets started just sitting again in production for long times. My blankets range from $93-$149. They kept telling me that despite what the website says is shipping time, the production is within SLA. Then a full 8 days later they finally sent an email saying their were issues with the production partner. Technical issues. But things are still on track to send out blankets.. Blankets went from shipping in a week to 2.5-3 weeks. I had one order come in I didn't see that was charged so I left it to see if I'd continue with Gooten. It took almost 3 weeks to receive the blanket. The lady sent me a message 2 days ago showing the blanket. It was the worst blanket I've ever seen! Colors were wrong, the images were skewed. It was horrible. I've disconnected all 3 of my stores and deactivated all of my listings. I am done with Gooten! I am moving all of my listings to Shopify. I have purchased a blanket from Shopify and it looks identical to Gooten. Save yourself time and heartache and skip Gooten.

Denied printing my designs of a president even though they fall under parody/fair use
Thank you for your review. Your design was denied due to Donald Trump's likeness and image being protected under personality rights and copyright laws. This includes official presidential photos as well as other pictures of his likeness.

I’ve been using this app for more than a year I spent a lot of time setting up all the products and images on my website. I’ve had an ongoing problem with them claiming they’ve sent orders out and when you check the tracking number they’ve never been shipped when you ask UPS they’ve never seen the packages! This is not a one time occurrence but has happened several times now it’s unacceptable . Rather than acknowledged the problem and fix it they continue to make up stories that the packages are lost in transit . They have hurt my reputation with several of my longtime good customers. They will continue to claim they mailed the packages anyway. And when you’re trying to get the reprint sent out it takes three days or more for them to respond often times through email because there’s no phone support Are used to have a manager I could reach out to you now they’re telling me I have to spend $25,000 in Prints every quarter to have access to a manager! In the tbeginning I was satisfied with this service but now it’s turned into a giant headache for me and my customers

I was looking to sell some of their phone cases. I was surprised at the high cost of their Phone case wallet but ordered a sample. VERY CHEAP AND POORLY MADE. Since I paid less for another one at RETAIL cost I expected this one to be very nice since it was more at WHOLESALE cost but it was awful. There customer service is very slow too!

There's hardly any customer service. They are not like the other POD services I used in the past. If you need help you probably won't get any. I am about to cancel my orders and move to another POD in the middle of it.
We are sorry to hear about your experience in working with us - We understand your concern and are always looking for ways to improve, could you please email us at [email protected]? We would like to figure out how to support you better. Thank you.

Terrible company. Shipped the wrong item completely and when I asked to get the right one they put it on hold for "copyright reasons" I did the art myself and they need (Commercial proof) so I cant just send them the art. they have already produced about 8 of these exact products for me but now they wont do it because its a reprint. I have asked for the manufacturer but gooten wont give it to me because they know they are a Piece of SH*T company that deserves to be bankrupt. and would lose all their customers because they are terrible. I have had so many problems with them. Just find another site if you can. They do not treat their customers well and DO NOT DESERVE YOUR BUSINESS. This company makes me so mad I had to share this.
Hi there, I was sorry to hear about your experience with Gooten! We work with thousands of partners across emerging and well-known brands, and try to be judicious stewards of copyright protections. Occasionally we do have a miss as we process thousands of orders a day for our partners, and then reach out to our partner during subsequent orders if something in particular stands out (such as this instance). I am happy to speak to you more about how we can work together on future orders and ensure consistency in processing. We love your creativity and would like to make this right.

The worst print on demand company I have ever used. Orders were delayed, customer service took days to respond, then would respond with a canned up, scripted response that did not address the issue, the user interface was extremely slow, at one point it stopped syncing with my shopify store and I didn't know the orders weren't getting printed. The cutting boards image was dull (the same file that came out bright with my other POD). The last straw is when my customer bought a puzzle as a gift and the tracking said it arrived and it never did (I have confirmation from the PO that they never received the package) and then I emailed the Gooten help desk and NO RESPONSE. **If you care at all about your business reputation then do not use Gooten, too risky.
Hi there. We deeply apologize that you have had a negative experience and understand your frustrations. We want you to know that all aspects of our process are thorough and constantly monitored to ensure that our product issue rates stay consistently low. Our customer support team has an SLA of 72 business hours and are available to respond Monday to Friday 9AM-5PM EST. Our support team works so hard to provide the best to our partners to ensure a positive outcome. We are disappointed to hear that you experienced otherwise and want to learn more about it.

Awful customer service with little to no follow up majority of the time. Had to disable multiple products (tumblers and fanny packs) due to way too many quality control issues -- wrong products from other stores arriving to my customers, fanny packs arriving with the zipper sewn into the seams, items arriving with zippers sticking or strings hanging, prints not aligning properly and tumblers arriving without lids CONSTANTLY. Bottom line, if you're looking for quality products - do not use Gooten, I'm honestly going to remove the app and my account.
We deeply apologize for your less than satisfactory experience. We hear your concerns, and will pass all feedback along to our team. We would also love a chance to discuss these issues with you further, and investigate a bit more on the order issues and lack of communication. Please reach out to us with more info if you would like, so we can connect you with the right member of our team and make this right. Thank you

LOOK AT ALL THE 1 STAR REVIEWS THEY HAVE AND DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME! They don't even bother to respond to these reviews. horrible. cute products. But there is ZERO customer support. The website is so difficult to work. DOES NOT integrate with Shopify at all. I could sell these products like crazy but I can't get it to work with my shopify store and I can't get anyone at Gooten to even try to help me. I have wasted so much time trying to get this vendor to work. Going to delete Gooten if someone doesn't help ASAP. not even worth 1 Star.
Hi there, we are sorry to hear about your experience and deeply apologize for the lack of response on our end. We have recently increased our customer support staff as well as implemented new ways to better serve our partners. In the recent months we have seen a huge increase in orders, and thus a huge increase in customer support tickets due to COVID. We admit that we were not prepared for this, nor did we ever expect such an increase in business. However, as stated, we have since hired many new staff members to keep up with the demand, and customer support times are currently back to normal. Please reach out to us if you would like more information and to let us know how we can further assist. We would love to make this right and earn back your trust. Thank you.

It really isn't difficult to hire some VA's in another country to handle your support emails. Going 2 weeks without a reply is unacceptable, and blaming COVID is not an excuse at this point. Hire someone to answer emails, you are still making sales and therefore making money. I will simply have to switch suppliers based on this. The quality is good but not outstanding, the fulfillment times are OK because of COVID but the support is non-existant. Why is it every other POD company is managing to answer emails normally but you can't? Edit: Replying to my review with the same copy-pasted reply for each complaint here really doesn't cut it, sorry isn't enough at this point. Do something about it, you're in a position to do so and it really illustrates your lack of leadership/management skills.
Hi, thank you for your review! We are very sorry to hear about your experience with us during this time. Long production times and delays in customer support is understandably very frustrating. Normally, we would reply much sooner, however, there has been an unexpected increase in the ticket volume which is why our response time is a bit longer. If your request is still outstanding, we kindly ask you to please use our new support form so we can route your request accordingly: https://help.gooten.com/knowledge/how-to-contact-gooten We do apologize for the delays and hope to return to our normal fulfillment and support response times very soon. Thank you for your patience as we manage these challenges.

I've been waiting for the response from the support team for more than TWO MONTHS - 2 MONTHS WITHOUT THE REPLY!!! Don't use it if you want to have a reliable partner.

I used to love Gooten, but there's a big problem with them changing their items without proper notice to sellers. The first time I ran into this was with their bandanas. They started out as great quality, with a slight sheen and a soft knit, but then they changed to a terrible tight, shiny, stiff knit and the edges were never right. I let that slide because they refunded me and I appreciated their other products.. However, two weeks ago I reached out to see why two of my customers' orders hadn't gone through. Customer service said they'd look into it, but I haven't heard anything since, even after sending a follow up email. Today I decided to manually place their orders, come to find out the product they ordered had been changed completely, in shape and material, and the original I had on my website was no longer available. The original product was perfect, and this new one looks terrible on their website. It seems they're cutting costs and quality is being decreased, but of course the prices are the same. Very disappointed. I can't continue to use Gooten knowing that my products can be changed randomly without any proper notice to me and that my customers could receive terrible products that are different than what I first received when I wanted to make sure of their quality before selling them.
Hi, thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback and kind words. We are always looking to improve so I will be sure to pass along your comments to our team. Thank you!

They claim to be Print-on-demand but do not have order notes. If you use this app, you cannot offer expedited shipping. All orders are made to be standard and there is no way to update it. In short, the app sucks. The company, shipped flawed canvases and refused to replace citing damage was within their threshold. Hope your customers enjoy their threshold. Software is really awful. Prepare to accidentally cancel orders, not understand how to ship internationally. Printful is much better in every way.
We’re so sorry to hear about these issues. We’ve reviewed your support requests and see that our support specialist issued a reprint for this order; damage is never okay with us, and we will always make it right as long as we know about it. Please let us know if you have any concerns with the new canvas. Gooten offers expedited shipping and worldwide shipping as an option, with very few exceptions on very few products. For our Shopify partners who want to offer standard, expedited, and overnight shipping options, we recommend installing the Advanced Shipping Rules app. This provides a seamless shipping experience for your customers. We’d be happy to help walk you through setting that up! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We take all feedback from our partners very seriously and have passed your suggestion for gift/order notes on to our Product Team. We are working hard to get this enabled across all of our manufacturers to ensure a consistent experience regardless of the product you order or the manufacturer that produces it.

Have a problem with an order on a Friday? Wait until Monday for an answer. Have a problem on a Teusday wait 24 hours. This business model isn't viable without quick support, be sure to use a fulfillment app that has responsive support, not GOOTEN.

No phone available for quick Customer Service questions. Had doubled an order by accident and since it took them a day to respond via email it was too late to cancel and it cost me money. Took no responsibility and my Customer made out with (2) items. Congrats. Not sure how a company can run a business without a Customer Support Phone number. There are plenty of other POD companies out there. Choose another. Had another issue on a Image, which you can find on Products being sold on Amazon and Walmart, and the Customer agent via email was arguing with me about it being inappropriate.

So far this company has been a bit of a let down. They lost my order and can't seem to find it. I hope they can get better organized and have better customer service in the future! Additionally this company tried charging me again and sending me incorrect information that did not pertain to me.
