r/printful

So sick of this whole buggy site.

When I create a white tee with a design and inner label, the mockup looks wonderful. If I then add a new variant with a black tee, a different colored design and a different inner label, the mockup is just super buggy and wrong.

• I cannot render it as a png, only as a jpg
• The inner label is just gone, even though it shows up in my item settings
• The design is not the one from the black tee, but from the white one

I have sent the last 4 hours trying to fix it, trying to render it in different browsers, googling stuff, etc etc. Nothing has worked and I am considering ditching Printful just for that reason alone. What point is there having a POD service if the images in my store are just not the product you get?

I can record a video if no one here is experiencing the same issue but using Printful has been nothing but a headache: A buggy mess, slow website code, everything takes forever and now this as well.

Anyone else had the email Printful about having to sign up for your own LUCID number in order to continue to ship to Germany?

Was looking into it, and if you're outside the EU (so anywhere in the US, UK, Aus etc) in order to get your own LUCID number you need to pay for both an account rep and a 'dual systems' recycling company (so upwards of 100/200 euros).

Just to ship to Germany. Regardless if you're only selling a handful of products there.

It's all to do with packaging requirements. Most other EU countries also require this number (or equivilant) but they'll accept Printful's details, only now Germany won't accept Printful's details, and you'll need your own (and have to pay for it).

Goodbye to Germany for small businesses? Anyone had any ideas or input on this issue?

I am setting up my Printful to run through my Squarespace. I saw that I have to list a public business address if I’m selling in the EU. I live in the USA and apparently that applies to me as a seller. I don’t want to list my address. Can I just block the EU sales region somehow? I can’t figure it out and the guides were confusing and I am dumb.

New to POD and something came to mind. If someone orders a lot of shirts from my store, receives them and refunds them (in the EU, you are allowed to return any product within 14 days without reason), they will get sent back to Printful.
Since they have sent their items back, the purchase gets refunded and they get their money back. The shirts now sit at Printfuls warehouse and I have lost that money. If there is a person who is doing this over and over again, will I just get my bank account drained since the shirts get printed yet I don't make any profit cause they are sent back?

I madea huge order that was supposed to arrive today at my hotel so I can vend at my market tomorrow and now they are telling me that it won't be there till monday. I check out on Sunday. Omg I am so upset.

Has anyone had luck with this kind of thing? What do I do. And before you ask, yes I ordered it in time.

Hi - I am based in Australia but looking to also sell in the United States. I have started with 11oz and 15oz mugs in my listings but I duplicated listings within Etsy so I have separate listings for those buyers in Australia and those in the United States. When I go back into Printful to sync with Etsy, there is not an option to sync the 15oz variant (only the 11oz). I'm not sure where I have gone wrong in the process or maybe I need to set up a Printful profile to sell worldwide?

Hi,

I'm struggling to figure out which is best. I have samples of both on a black tshirt and they both have pros and cons.

My designs are quite vibrant so I went witht the DTFlex. Overall I'm happy with the colour and how they feel to wear. The designs are also quite large so my concern is if it's too plastic-y feeling?

On the other hand the DTG colours might not pop as much but is that the feeling people want more?

It's a brand new store so no sales yet and I'm hesitate to really push it until I'm sure on the right printing.

Does anyone know what customers prefer and is one better for durability and washing over the other?

Thanks so much...
