Snobby Drops review for Printful: Print on Demand

March 14, 2025

Awful print jobs, long ship time and no customer service. They also have a very antiquated app where you cannot populate your images to multiple products, you have to do it manually one by one. If you hit "back" it will take you completely out of the app and you will have to start over again and again. They also don't even offer photographic prints or basic print products. But...I digress, this review is not about that.... This review is about quality. Quality is so important for customers and it Printful's quality is aboslutely AWFUL. On February 25th I ordered two 24x36 prints. I uploaded two images to be printed through Printful. I sent these two prints through with the Printful recommended color profile of sRGB IEC61966-2.1 to ensure colors were true in my proofing viewer compared to expected print results. However, instead of printing closely to the colors provided, when the prints were finally delivered on March 6, both printed nothing like the images submitted. They are dark, muted and cool in tone compared to the print file especially in areas of green/yellow and shadows were darker as well SEE BELOW. I immediately notified Printful via their report a problem feature on March 6 attaching images of the original file and the resulting print. I followed up 24 hours later. On March 7 Printful replied, stating he saw the issue, confirmed I submitted them correctly and would see what the graphics team recommended. I waited two days and they did not follow up although I did inform them this was a time sensitive matter especially given how long it took them to send the original prints, especially when we have customers waiting. I followed up on March 9. I was ignored. I followed up again on March 11 and I was ignored. I followed up again on March 12 and asked for a refund. I was ignored. I filed a complaint with the Attorney General and sent that to them on March 13 and asked for a refund. I was ignored. This company offers PRINTS--most of the time we never see what our customer gets. In this case, I did....and it's absolutely AWFUL. PRINTFUL AGREED. Then they just decided to NEVER RESPOND TO ME AGAIN and KEEP MY MONEY. Ignoring the impact that it had on me and my business. Disgusting. They falsely advertised a product, provided specific printing requirements for that product, failed to deliver the product as ordered, acknowledged they erred, ignored me for days and refused to refund the product. Do not use PRINTFUL unless you want awful prints, upset customers and no way to fix the problem because there will be no customer service.
