Spreadconnect: Print on Demand

2 Sterne, weil das Handling übersichtlich ist und die Preise ok. Der Aufbau von Produkten für die eigene Homepage funktioniert gut.

Das war es dann aber auch schon.
Wir sind aktuell dabei, ein eigenes Modelabel aufzubauen und hatten viel Hoffnung in die Zusammenarbeit mit Spreadconnect. Wir haben mittlerweile 10 Sample-Bestellungen ausgelöst, wovon keine einzige einwandfrei war. Print schief oder nicht wie bestellt mittig aufgedruckt. Teilweise kamen die Produkte verschmutzt an. Die Verpackungs-Situation ist absolut nicht geeignet für den Versand direkt an Endkunden. Bestellte Produkte per Express haben trotzdem mindestens 1,5 Wochen Lieferzeit, obwohl die Produkte als "Verfügbar" gekennzeichnet sind. Aktuell warten wir noch immer auf unsere Express Bestellung vom 20.08. - Mittlerweile haben wir den 08.09.

Alles in Allem sehr enttäuschend.

Easy to navigate.

Review of SPOD/Spread Connect App on Shopify:

The transition from SPOD to Spread Connect has been an absolute disaster for my business. When the app updated, every single one of my products was flagged with a notice stating: “The print area has changed for this product. Please check whether your design’s placement is correct.” I checked each design, and everything appeared to be perfectly aligned. Yet, despite nothing needing correction, I was forced to re-upload every design, description, price, and product detail manually. This has been an incredibly tedious and time-consuming process, especially for those of us with larger catalogs.

Adding to the frustration, customer support is nonexistent. I’ve been calling their customer service all day, multiple times, during their stated hours, and no one answers. Relying solely on email to address urgent issues—like needing to cancel or adjust a product—is impractical and frustrating. Clear communication and accessible support are vital for a business-critical app like this, and Spread Connect has completely failed in that regard.

This experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. The lack of consideration for users’ time, the disruption to my store, and the absence of responsive support have made this app unusable. I cannot recommend Spread Connect to anyone looking for a reliable print-on-demand service on Shopify. Stay far away unless you want to risk hours of lost productivity and unresolved issues.

I love SPOD. Over the last 4 years, I only had one printing flaw, which I was refunded. Otherwise, it's been a great partnership. Moreover, the manufacturing warehouse is in the same city that I am in, so turnaround time for the brand is AWESOME.

I'm looking forward to more years to come with SPOD

Haven't had a problem yet. Very nice job!
One note, check spelling on your big banner ad asking us if we like SDOD.
Would also be super nice if the names of colors were capitalized so I don't have to change every one in Shopify. Thanks!

I haven't used Spreadconnect for a little while, but the last time I used it, it was great! The product was delivered in a timely manner and it looked great!

Ordered a sample item to test SPOD nearly a month ago. Wasn't ever fulfilled. "Awaiting production" for a month. Contacted support. No response within the day -- Just cancelled the sample order. Just tried writing support again to let them know. We'll see if they respond. I'm sure they'll respond promptly here since it's a public review. Very disappointing experience though after a couple decent experiences. Glad it was just for me and not a customer. Hopefully they didn't charge yet or it refunds automatically.

They ship out quickly, but my customers are constantly receiving the wrong items. Many times items we do not even sell! Their turn around times are great, but their quality control is severely lacking!

I use this app all the time. The production has slowed considerably within the last month. Almost two weeks for one item. I use to brag about having the fastest turn around with the cheapest prices at my store. I can no longer talk that game anymore. Also the site doesn't always let you upload when designing and it cost me money with customers. A lot of glitches. I am going to have to work with another vendor as I do not have time for SPOD's site maintenance.

Since our last review, SPOD has become one of my favorite drop shipping apps! Especially now that you guys have added DTF to t-shirts and hoodies. However if you guys are going to make us chose Bella+Canvas to get the DTF prints, then you guys should offer way more colors. That 3001 version comes in all kinds of colors but we are only limited to 6 and sizes stop at 3X. Also that shirt should be a little cheaper by maybe $1.50-$2.00. I love the DTF, flex, and velvety flex, but I stay away from the DTG or digital direct. Those prints last maybe 5 washes then they start to peal, flake, etc. You guys should get rid of that process all together and open DTF up to be added to other garments that offer more colors then you'd be Top Dog! It also would be nice to be able to use our own designs on sleeves and hoods.

Overall, I LOVE YOU GUYS. My number 1 app for Drop Shipping. Thank you for the items you got out to my customers over the Christmas Holiday! Looking forward to your improvements.

Been using them for a couple years and at this point only use them for one item because their prints wash off after a few washes for most of their items. Love the actual hoodie garment itself. High quality! I just wish their print was more consistent.
