Spreadconnect: Print on Demand

Von der Produktionszeit, Auswahl und Qualität wären es 5 Sterne ABER:

1. Keine Massenbearbeitung bzw. Erstellung. Jedes einzelne Produkt muss umständlich erstellt werden, was enorm viel Zeit frisst und mehr als frustierend ist. Was nutzt die Auswahl von 200 Produkten wenn man jedes Produkt einzeln erstellen oder ändern muss? Warum nicht 1 Motiv und die gewünschten Produkte in einem Arbeitsschritt konfigurieren? Jedes einzelne Produkt durch Kopieren und Bearbeiten erstellen zu müssen kann ja nicht die Lösung sein!

2. Der Uploader hat teilweise ein Eigenleben und nimmt Designs ohne Feedback nicht an, mit dem Hinweis sich an den Support zu wenden. Nach dem 10. Versuch klappt es dann aber komischerweise. Wäre jetzt nicht weiter schlimm, aber frisst halt dank Punkt 1 noch mehr Zeit.

3. Jetzt kommt der Punkt der mich zu dieser Rezension getrieben hat und eigentlich dafür sorgen müsste das es einen 1 Stern gibt. Nach dem letzten Update wurde bei ca. 50% meiner erstellten Produkte festgestellt das der Druckbereich urplötzlich nicht passt. Es betraf T- Shirts und Hoodies desselben Marke mit gleicher Motivgröße.

Also alles wieder an einem Freitagabend einzeln umstellen und anpassen. ES NERVT! Und warum trifft es nicht alle Produkte einer Kategorie sondern nur ca. 50%? Müsste ich jetzt damit rechnen das die Produkte welche nicht angezeigt wurden im System untergegangen sind und im Falle einer Bestellung trotzdem schief und deplatziert geliefert werden oder wie erklärt sich dieser Sachverhalt?

Nach der umständlichen Neuanpassung der betroffenen Produkte fiel dann auf das die T-Shirts und Hoodies, welche nachträglich angepasst wurden nicht mehr diesselbe Motivgröße und Platzierung hatten wie die anderen Produkte, welche nicht vom Druckbereich betroffen waren. Also alle löschen und komplett EINZELN neu erstellen. Danke dafür!

Qualität, Auswahl und Lieferzeit sind wie schon erwähnt TOP aber Punkt 1 und 3 passen absolut nicht zu dieser sonst so genialen POD Lösung. Sollte sich dahingehend nichts ändern, verzichte ich lieber auf etwas Marge und ziehe einen Anbieterwechsel in Betracht.

Please save ur time. I did try to order a sample order. Returned to sender, no email, no refund. If they don’t reply I will dispute it with my bank. Phone number never reachable, customer service that replies after 3 days like what is this? I prefer to spend more but to get a better service

EDIT: Customer service unresponsive to email. If you call, they'll answer, but they'll tell you they're unable to take care of pretty much anything over the phone and that you should email. It's a never ending loop of not being able to access the services they promise to provide.

I've been using SPOD for a little over a year. In the last month, their production times have increased significantly (orders will sit for a week before printing) and their customer service response time has dropped as well (one of my inquiries never even got a response). Seems like something on the back end isn't working. I'll be looking for a new POD provider asap. :/

What a bummer - I loved the app; it's super easy to use and integrate for my shop. BUT their printing quality on EVERY order was awful. They were quick to reply to my emails and refund my money, but that wasn't what I was looking for. If I'm going to use a company for printing, I expect good quality printing, not an immediate refund for constant mistakes. Pretty disapointed.

This company has super fast production times...but that's really all that's good about them. The print quality is usually just mediocre (if that), and their customer service is basically nonexistent. Also, if you need to edit an order, good luck! You can't do it from the app, you need customer service. So basically you just have to disappoint your customer. To top that off, THEY'VE RAISED THEIR PRICES! I'll definitely be using a different company.

Horrible. We are a print on demand DTG company ourselves and used them to print just our long sleeves and hoodies as it is very expensive to house all the inventory for every different variant we offer. I would give them 1 star but there are some things that are decent. My customers have had issues with nearly every order. Garments damaged upon receipt, loose threads, holes, etc. Prints are complete trash. As a DTG company ourselves we can see that they obviously do not have any quality control OR have a lack of knowledge in the pre-treating and curing process. We have had numerous garments where the print is rubbing off after the first or second wash. Even garments that did not require pretreat and were black ink only were not cured properly and the ink came right off. Their Spreadshirt brand apparel is nice quality but runs extremely small, especially in womans. This is a huge turn off as we have had many returns due to incorrect sizing. This is partly due to customers not looking at the size chart, so I don't blame Spreadshirt 100% for this. Their customizer is mediocre, it's hard to determine proper design placement from the collar and only one size of the image can be imported, therefore leaving every size S-5X having the same size printed image. For example, a small shirt may require an 8" wide image but an 8" wide image on a 3X looks ridiculous. You would think there would be some kind of human interaction involved in production to ensure that the ratio of image to shirt size is correct, but they claim this is not possible with their system. I can assure you it is possible as we use the exact same equipment and it's so simple to resize an image that our grade school children who frequently operate our equipment can do it. The only thing that I can say that they did right is they were always prompt at refunding damaged or misprinted items. We also will give them top honors for their speed, they definitely are the fastest POD service. Sometimes they were even faster than us and our turnaround is typically 24 hours from the order placement to slapping a shipping label on the product. Maybe they need to focus on quality control instead of speed. We are just simply tired of disappointing our customers and processing refunds and replacements. App deleted. We will continue to print in house as we do not have these issues.

App gave a 400 error repeatedly and needed to be uninstalled/reinstalled before I could use it. After creating an account I was able to place an order for a sample product, but I received an email from SPOD a few days later requesting a government photo ID claiming my account could be fraudulent. Customer service failed to reply to my email questioning the need for a photo ID in order to have a sample shirt printed. Also has by far the most expensive apparel shipping costs of the companies we've considered so far ($6.35 for one t-shirt).

Seems like the prices are decent, but I couldn't get a single file to upload, I'm not sure why there's such a long delay in the upload time. I tried several different files with several products and no luck.
