I use Printful more than any other drop shipping print on demand company. They are the most professional I have dealt with in this niche. The DTG printing is quality and looks professional. Their embroidery is also quality. Fulfilment times are usually for the most part pretty quick considering. Their mockup generator is top notch and super useful whether you are purchasing items or not. There is one thing I believe could be better. I wish the allowable print area was larger. For many of my designs, they may look to small on t-shirts. The max is 12"x16" which does limit my design capabilities often. I work with a print shop in town that does DTG prints up to 16"x22". I really wish Printful could give this allowance. Other than this no gripes at all. Top notch service.

I primarily use this app to create all my T-shirts and other products. I love the personalized labels that is delivered with my product. I would be nice if the offered multiple colors for ALL products, especially the tote bags.

2 stars because their products are of good quality. However, if you ever need personal assistance from them, you're better off talking to a brick wall. First off: Their design service is terrible. I needed a logo altered so it could be embroidered. After they were done with it, it was a completely different logo to a point where it wasn't even recognizable. I paid $35 for the service and got 2 completely different versions (contact me if you want to see the results). Then, a package got lost in the mail, after it took 2.5 months to get shipped (I get it, COVID took its toll on the logistics). The package never arrived, although DHL marked it as such. When inquiring about it and see if they could open a ticket/complaint with DHL, I was advised to talk to USPS (??) or place a new, manual order that I'd pay for myself. They wouldn't inquire at the carrier because their "current level of service" didn't allow for it. They were right. Their current level of service needs serious improvement. I've removed all products from my store and am in the process of switching to a local print shop that semi-integrates with Shopify. More work? Sure, but at least I get great service and can count on when I need it. Would NOT recommend.
Thank you for sharing your review- we truly appreciate it! We are very sorry to hear your time at Printful hasn’t been positive, but I hope we can improve it going forward! We are sorry to hear your expectations did not meet with the end result. I have reviewed the interactions you had with our team about the embroidery designs. I see that your artwork needed some adjustments and had to be simplified to meet the minimum requirements of our embroidery file guidelines. Our design team specialist noted the changes we needed to make to your print file prior to taking the service fee from you, upon you agreeing to these adjustments we followed through with adjusting your print file. Our embroidery machines are set up to produce the best desirable outcome, however, our customers must follow the established embroidery guidelines to produce these results, you can see our embroidery guidelines here: https://www.printful.com/creating-embroidery-file. Regarding your order that was marked as “delivered”. When the carrier has marked an order as “delivered”, we have to trust that they have made the delivery and such orders would not be eligible for a reimbursement. In the rare case that this happens, you can reach out to the carrier and file a claim, then forward their response to us and we will review it. We're not yet able to assist with filing claims with shipping carriers but we hope to do so in the future! Please visit our Returns Policy here https://www.printful.com/policies/returns. If you have any additional comments or feedback, please let us know at [email protected] We'd love to hear from you! -Lauma

Already ordered a couple of times. The items are ok, but for the quality to expensive. Unfortunately, when you pay and not receive the product, Printify has the worst customer care ever! First, after not receiving the parcel for a couple of months, I wrote them. No reply! Then I opened up the case via paypal, and suddenly Printful, out of nowhere was able to write me an e-mail. With the info, that they don't take care of not received packages and that it is not their problem if my customers or myself don't receive the product! And also, if I would not close the case via Paypal, they would close my account which they did. I wrote the post office and they clearly said that I as customer cannot claim a refund but Printful could have claimed the refund for the not delivered package! That's how they treat customers...
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We are truly sorry to hear your experience using our services hasn’t been the best! We understand where you're coming from – we're not the most affordable POD drop shipper on the market. However, we believe that with our prices, we offer more value to our customers – in terms of product quality, customer support, and extra services (design services, warehousing). Product prices also reflect more than the cost of printing they also help to cover such features as our mockup generator, the graphics pre-flighting, the integration with different e-commerce platforms. Due to the increased email volume during the Covid-19 pandemic, we were seeing longer Customer Support response times. Our Customer Support team has worked diligently to make sure each inquiry has been responded to as fast as possible. As of right now, our response time is about one day. Regarding the delivery status of your order, we have made our policies public, as a way to be completely transparent with our customers. As an example, you can see our Return Policy here: https://www.printful.com/policies/returns. When the carrier has marked an order as “delivered”, we have to trust that they have made the delivery and such orders would not be eligible for reimbursement. In the rare case that this happens, you can reach out to the carrier and file a claim, then forward their response to us and we will review it. We may suspend accounts due to violations of our Terms of Service (link to our ToS: https://www.printful.com/policies/terms-of-service), but we are always happy to review them - please kindly send more information about this to [email protected]. We'd love to hear from you and positively resolve this matter! -Lauma

I used this app for almost two years during which time it was getting worse and less competitive all the time. Pros: Good print quality Easy to use interface Fairly good selection of products Cons: Arbitrary and incoherent content policy Inconsistent and often slow turnaround times (even before Covid-19) Slow and mostly unhelpful customer service They are among the most expensive pod platforms
Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience with us, we truly appreciate it. We're glad to hear that you have been enjoying some of our services so far, we hope your experience only improves moving forward! Due to the increased email volume during the Covid-19 pandemic, we were seeing longer Customer Support response times. Our Customer Support team has worked diligently to make sure each inquiry has been responded to as fast as possible. As of right now, our response time is about one day. We're also starting to expand our chat availability to resume 24/7 live support in the near future. We completely understand how frustrating the fulfillment delays are. Covid-19 global pandemic affected us the same as all other businesses out there. Our main goal was to keep providing our customers with the products, although various restrictions in place and social distancing measures made It very difficult to keep our regular 2-7 business day time frame. We also didn’t expect such a high order volume at this time of the year. Our fulfillment times are nearly back to normal, please follow any fulfillment updates on the Covid-19 page. Our goal is to offer faster fulfillment times in the future. We’re sorry to hear that you encountered some issue with having your order printed. If a design doesn't follow our acceptable content guidelines (see here https://www.printful.com/policies/content-guidelines ), we reserve the right to decline the printing of the design. While we may not notice the infringing content right away in every order, it is the user's responsibility to provide material that follows our guidelines. We are working on improving our resources and team to make sure that infringing material is detected as soon as possible. Regarding the prices, we understand where you're coming from- we're not the most affordable POD drop shipper on the market.

We do try to lower our prices when we can! We also try to offer a range of brands and prices so you can go for the more budget-friendly products if you prefer. We realize that the prices we offer might not be for everyone, however, we consider them fair taking into account all of our services.

I use Printful to help me produce T-shirts for my new business. The Shopify integration makes it so easy to use, seamlessly. I have also used their customer service when I encountered an issue with a product. The experience was exceptional! Great app overall.

I have not had any issues with this app or the supplier. They are very good at communicating any issues they are experiencing or see coming up. Adding products is easy. Shipping and pricing is a breeze. I like how they keep updating the options they have so that it is responsive and not a headache to work with. Would like a few other options but good with what they have right now.
Thank you for your feedback, we truly appreciate it! We're really glad to hear that you're enjoying our services and look forward to a successful collaboration. You can reach out to us at [email protected] with any questions or suggestions you may have! :) - Vita

I'm new to Printful, and am very excited to add products from this app. It seems to be easy to use this app, still learning. This app offers so many more products than the other app I have been using.

I have been so impressed with the quality and assortment of products and their very attentive customer service, since I began my business back in 11/2019. During Covid, it's been tough having shipping times delayed, but I feel that most businesses have experienced the same issues, but not with the same professionalism as Printful. When a business handles themselves well during tough times, I'm sold. As things start to get back to normal, and I'm looking forward to watching my business grow with Printful.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, we truly appreciate it. We're glad to hear that you've chosen us as your trusted print-on-demand service during this tumultuous time, and look forward to our ongoing collaboration! :) - Vita

Ship times take forever and there is no live service. I'm about to leave after 18 months. Was a good service but now all I have are angry clients.
Thank you for your honest feedback! We're sorry to hear the shipping delays with your orders. Covid-19 has also affected delivery times worldwide due to border closures and limited cargo travel. This is not something that we can affect as it involves global processes and policies. While more flights are being scheduled, some delivery delay is still expected for the time being until the situation with the pandemic really improves. We have placed disclaimers on our site when placing an order as well as on our Covid-19 updates page about possible shipping delays (see here https://www.printful.com/covid-19). We can be reached at [email protected] and chat feature is available during US business hours on Mon–Fri. On average, you can expect a reply from our customer support team within 48 hrs. I see you have been in touch with our customer support. I'll send you a follow-up email to make sure all your concerns have been successfully resolved. Please let us know if you have any additional feedback, write to us at [email protected] -Lauma

Best POD service by far. Easy to use with great customer support and high quality products. The only slight downside might be the somewhat higher product costs, but I can live with that.
Thank you for your feedback! I' m so glad to hear that you are enjoying our platform! If you have any additional feedback, send us a quick message to [email protected] -Lauma

I'm only giving this App one star because you have to. But AVOID at all cost, use one of the many other Apps in the store. Poor Quality, Poor Customer Service, Poor Execution! The customer service is the worse I've seen from any Shopify App. I have orders that are still pending from early June that have not been fulfilled and my customers are super frustrated which reflects on my store and not Printful. Because Printful is not vested in your customers, they could careless how great of a service they provide to you. I've had to cancel quite a few orders and refund the customer. Overall this provides a pretty crappy customer experience and you don't get very many opportunities to make your customers happy. I'll be removing Printful from my store as soon as my orders are filled.
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback! We hope your time at Printful can be improved going forward! We understand that encountering production delays is not pleasant and all of our teams are working diligently to fulfill all orders as quickly as possible. The delays are a result of the restrictions and limitations imposed for the public due to Covid-19 and we didn't expect to see such an increase of orders at this time of the year. We see that you have been in touch with our support team and your orders are being fulfilled and should ship out very soon! We understand that these are tough times for many businesses and people and we are doing our best to continuing providing our services to all of our users. I hope we can return to our regular fulfillment times soon. If there’s anything we can help with, be sure to contact us at [email protected] anytime!

I should have checked their company history and BBB rating before ever using this manufacturer! I have had nothing but problems. They have cost me customers, and money. The latest problem was the last straw- I created an item and ordered it as a sample for myself (May 30). I received notification (from printful) on June. 8 that it had shipped. I received notification on June.9 (from DHL) that an electronic shipping label had been created. I waited and waited for the arrival date of June 16- June 22 - still no package. I messaged printful and was told to just keep waiting- it's on the way. So, on June 29, I contacted DHL - they told me that never received the package, and therefore nothing was coming- I should contact the manufacturer. So, on June.29 I contacted Printful again (after waiting in a queu line of 66 people to virtual chat because they have NO PHONE NUMBER)- I was again told to just keep waiting. I told them that DHL never received the package. They denied everything and took no responsibillty and told me to just keep waiting. I finally received a call back from a manager 2 days later- and was told- yes, there was an error-the item was never shipped. Tracking was never updated, I was never notified- nothing- and I had to DEMAND a refund in order to get one. After all of this, i received another e-mail (from a different manager) giving me a completely different story- and telling me to keep waiting. UNBELIEVABLE! This company is shady, has horrible customer service, and is completely unreliable! STAY AWAY!
Thank you for your review, we truly appreciate hearing your feedback! We are, however, sorry to see that you have met with these concerns, it should certainly not be the expected quality for our shipments. From what we understand, this order was lost in transit, even though it was shipped out from our fulfillment facility, as this is also something that can happen on the way to the carrier. Our phone support has been off, while we helped clear the large email backlog, but we see that you have successfully reached us via a call and we hope these concerns are now put to rest. If you have any additional feedback, as well as any questions or concerns, be sure to reach out at [email protected]! - Vita

Started off ok. Easy to setup. However, I had 5 orders delayed for over a month because they updated an item (Black hoodie 1 replaced with Black hoodie 2). I received zero notification that the item was not out of stock, nor did I receive any notice that my orders had been delayed. Having been told by support that I now "just" had to go manually update all my designs I got an error that the platform wasn't working. Customer support told me (of course) that this was a shopify problem and I should clear cache/cookies and reload. So I did. To the same error. Deleted the app and installed Tpop.
Thank you for your review! We're sorry to hear that your experience with us has not been entirely positive so far, but I hope we can improve it moving forward! We apologize for the miscommunication with the product stock. The way we update product stock status and confirm orders would ensure that we'd be notifying you as soon as we have information about the stock levels. We do see that the emails notifying the stock delays were sent to you. As you are already in contact with our customer support team, we will do the best we can to resolve this issue for you! If you have any additional feedback for us, be sure to reach out at [email protected]! -Lauma

Doing this covid-19 there no good and you can't make shirts because they're unavailable so you can't make any money on new ideas
Hi, thank you for your review! We have temporarily disabled some product categories in the product push (existing products are not affected) to help us catch up with the current order volume and to reduce the production times. We understand that this may not be an ideal solution for some of our users, but we expect this to help us return to our normal fulfillment times sooner. We will make sure to re-enable these products in product push as soon as possible, so you can continue creating new items! If there's anything we can help with or if there's anything you'd like to share about your time with us, be sure to contact us at [email protected] anytime! - Zana

They use to be good...now they are terrible. Over a month to complete 1 order. I moved my shirts from them because of this. They will cost you customers. Absolutely horrible service since COVID 19. Every vendor is experiencing delays but their delays seem longer. I have orders from May 25 that are still untouched.
Hi, thank you for your review! We're sorry that the orders are encountering delays at the moment! Due to the situation with Covid-19 and an unexpectedly high order volume at this time of year, our production is experiencing fulfillment delays for some product categories. Since we decided to temporarily disable sample orders and some products in the product push, we are seeing improvements in fulfillment times, but delays are expected for the time being. We recommend to regularly check our Covid-19 updates page where you can see our current estimated production times: https://www.printful.com/covid-19. We understand that production delays are not pleasant and we sincerely apologize for the longer fulfillment times. Our teams are working diligently to fulfill all orders as quickly as possible and we hope to see our production times improve swiftly in the near future! If there's anything we can help with, be sure to contact us at [email protected] anytime! - Zana

I've used the app to create a product line. The designing process is simple and easy to navigate. It was recommended by a friend and I'm thankful. I've been able to build out a site and easily connect the e-commerce store with printful.
Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear you are having a great time with our integration :) - Zana
