One thing you didn't talk about is the taxes and delivery time. Printful having facilities in the US, Europe, and Canada, makes things way easier to sell "internationally". I tried Printful and Printify and the results are not even a match. Being able to sell in every western countries without having to bother with custom fees and different partners is a bliss. If a customer buy something from the US, printful will automatically assign the order to their US facility. If the customer buy from France, it will choose the spain facility. And that changes everything. For a canva bought with a US partner for a customer in France, the customer will have to pay custom fees, and the delivery alone will jump from 13$ on printful to 45$ on printify and that's without the custom fees. And on top of that, printful mock up are way more nicer and SEO friendly.

Thank you for such a detailed review and for providing estimated numbers. This is great for newbies like me trying to navigate this great potential business/income idea.

Hi Alek. Thank you for the informative videos. it would be really helpful if you did a video on what your process is for managing an Etsy store. Like, how much time it takes to upload lostings, how you handle returns or customer issues. Do you offer customization for customers. And how much time investment do you make with an Etsy store. I'm sure your audience would really benefit from your perspective.

Great video! I’ve had mostly great experience using Printify and can’t wait to grow my business more. The customer service has been excellent for the few issues I’ve had. They even reshipped 2 large multiple item orders for free which were lost due to my customers entering wrong addresses. Can’t beat that kind of service.

Thanks a million bro, your video helped me decide on a POD supplier 🤜🏾🤛🏻

It'd be interesting to do a per-product choice of quality/price. Things like those "sister of the birthday boy" t-shirts will most likely only be used once or twice, so people probably prefer cheap and don't care much about high quality and durability. If it's something classier that can be used more long-term, then choose quality.

Printful is expensive and they know it because they're proactive on inventory levels. My main issue with Printful on design is that they don't allow you to create variants within the design generator the way Gelato lets you unsync product variants, but Gelato's folder structure is nonexistent if you have multiple stores in one account. I have to scroll and scroll to find previous designs from multiple stores.

Great video, Alek, but be careful with Printify costs. At least for t-shirts, they change with color and size. Printful has a much simpler structure - usually same price from S-XL and no change for color. Printful also allows you to print your logo on the label, which I couldn't find on Printify. Just did the math this morning: Printful is more profitable - at least for my business. Bottom line: make sure you do your research

@alekSheffy

Sure, that's a good point. How are you more profitable if you're paying for label prints? Monster Digital has the same pricing structure S-XL, Printify just allows each print provider to price their own products accordingly

GOOD SHIT. MANY THANKS.

Once you add tax, the prices are higher. And when you factor in NOT being in the US, it's even higher for shipping. Mugs cost me like $27 (incl tax, shipping, printing fees)... so I have to charge around $30+ depending on the size and style of mug. It's kinda crazy.... AND I pay for a subscription so I get a small discount on all products. It's the shipping that kills us. Some times, shipping is MORE than the actual item!!

I started out 9 months ago with my Etsy tshirt shop and after my research it came down to two, Printful and Printify. I ended up with Printify in the end because of the price. I thought the cut that Printful takes was a bit too high. Gelato is new to me. Thanks for this video and affirming what I had chosen myself.

Question- when using either Printful or Printify if you get an order for T Shirts do you pay Printify or Printful 1st then they begin producing the shirts? What if you get a Big order like (50) shirts. Then you have to pay 50x (I’m guessing $8 per shirt) $400 out of pocket

@guyinsf

Жыл бұрын

@@deewitt2833 Yes they take it out of your bank account their cut but if you're selling 50 tees and their cut is $8 a shirt which means they're deducting $140 from your bank account remember you're also getting hopefully the same amount per shirt in profit so let's say at a conservative estimate of also $8 per shirt of profit. Let's also say each of your shirts is listed for $16 on your store so at 50 shirts $280 will be transferred to your bank account but yes you will get that most likely after Printify takes their cut of $140 from your bank account first. Of course I'm excluding the fees from Etsy or whatever storefront you're using but you can calculate that portion on your own.

@guyinsf

Жыл бұрын

Sorry my calculation was way off. So with 50 shirts and Printify's cut is $8 per shirt their total amount that they will charge you is $400 but hopefully you're also getting $400 in profit if you're listing the shirt at a price to give you a profit of $8 per shirt too.

awesome video ! the only thing that killed me this whole time was the HUGE chunk they take out of the profits.. would it be easier to get your own label printer or idk how to make any of this stuff or what its called, but then even when you grow your business you would defiantly have enough money to hire people to do it when the work load grows.. i know you thought about that before yk, id loveeeee to hear your thoughts on it or what researched you tried or whatever may be the case.
