I Love a Hangar review for JetPrint: Print On Demand

March 18, 2024

I've now put through a several thousand orders now (primarily shoes) with JetPrint so can give a pretty through review. Recently, JetPrint support and communication from the team has been really quite poor. Significant changes have been made (without notice) to product variants for some products on JetPrint that have had huge effects on store owners; however, store owners were not notified of these changes until they had been rolled out. The result is ALL existing JetPrint products in our store will need to be updated to match the JetPrint Variants OR any new products added will also need to be manually changed to match the store variant setup. It's pretty disgraceful, given the volume of business we send to JetPrint. It's really disappointing as we started as a 4 star review and its just slowly gone downhill over the years despite sending more and more business. - Product quality : There are instances where for some reason a bad (cheap?) insole was used instead of the normal “softer” insole. There is also the odd issue with the designs getting mixed up for example the left shoe for one order is sent with the right shoe of another order. Or a Black toe shoe is sent instead of a white. I’d recommend doing random sample orders regularly to ensure the quality of the insole (you’re not getting the bad “cheap” one), the designs are correct, and branded boxes are being sent if that’s what you have ordered. Design interface/mockups - I'm was happy with with what was offered as it was easy to use with nice mockups. However, recently they changed the mockup tool so we can no longer change the level of “blending” the design has on blank mockup. So now all our old mockups look slightly different to any new products we add. Store owners were not advised of this change prior to is being rolled out Black shoe mockups for the low and high top canvas shoes is incorrect and shows black eyelets instead of the bare metal (silver) eyelet the shoe actually has. Required additional manipulation in photoshop to correct this so customer receives what they see online. Has been raised multiple times with JetPrint but never corrected. Support – was great and when minor problems arise they were usually solved quite quickly. Sometime there is difficulty trying to convey the problem to the support team so its best to send a screen shot to explain. Recently however, when things go “wrong” and when you really do need actual support, its very difficult to get response. Shipping - They mainly use Yanwan and YunExpress for international segment, then local carriers for last mile. My only issue is some of the last mile carriers often let the team down and I have had a few "wrong address, return to sender" when the address was not incorrect at all. Only seems to happen with USPS, OnTrac (US), Amarex (Australia) and Evri (UK) and these carriers respective support as you would expect – hopeless. When the last mile carrier is Australia Post, Royal Mail there doesn’t seem to be an issue. - Dashboard – clunky to use. 3 years after bringing this to JetPrints attention, they finally added the customer order number that shows in your store. BUT you cannot search by it, so I'm not sure exactly why it's there…. If you filter by dates, then view an order, all date filters are removed when you exit that order. Again, clunky and not user-friendly. They also finally added (again some 3 yrs after asking) the customer surname instead of just the first name …which was written twice. But again, you cannot search by customer name/surname so not sure of why its there. So, with no order number or full name to search by, it is really hard to locate orders. After scrolling through pages of orders to find an order (say page 13), once you click into then out of your order, you end up at the start of all orders again (ie page 1). Has been raised multiple times with JetPrint and never corrected. Summary: The Dashboard REALLY needs to be fixed. In this day and age, it is simply not acceptable that you are not able to search your orders by the customer surname (or your store order number). Looking for a specific order makes a 5 second job take 5 mins. However, the main reason for a one star now is there is ZERO communication for store owners when significant changes to the app are going to be rolled out. You can wake up one morning and suddenly your whole store is broken, and you cannot add products the way you could before, and your entire store of over 400 products now needs to be changed to be consistent with the new changes.
