I used spring for years, my major issue is that at times when I ordered from them the colors were off (like reds were orange or purples were magenta) and the shirt quality was atrocious. A few times I ordered some samples and they sent me shirts so thin I could stick my finger through it like tissue paper right out of the box. Other times the quality of the print was awful where they’d send me a hoodie and the print stuck together and tore off the print leaving a gaping hole in the design. Hence why I eventually had enough and left them for Amazon, but then a couple of my designs got stolen off of Amazon and now I don’t know who to go with. 😢
Spring had a database issue because of nested accounts. Basically delete and start over their support was non-technical for a heavily technical issue. I got it sorted out but it was a painful process.
Nice comparison review, Shimmy. Can you do a Spreadshop vs Spreadshirt comparison? I understand the difference between the custom store and marketplace concepts, but I'm curious as to how/if the two related platforms interface or compete with one another. The Spreadshop platform is looking good though. Regards
Well...that kinda dampens my mood some I had recently made a spring account (very new to print on demand things) I heard a lot of bad about red bubble so avoided that option .. I thought spring would be better but now after seeing this I feel I may have made a bad choice.. I made a few designs that I thought would be great for some shirts n such... jw is there beginner friendly print on demands that would be recommended for small artists?
Thank you for the inspiring content Shimmy. How would you compare the t-shirts in terms of quality and vibrance of colors Spreadshop to Awkward Styles, Gelato and Printflul? Which pod provider has the best long-lasting vibrance of colors in your opinion?
Just to comment on the connecting domain. I just set up a shopify because I sell other items that I can make in house for cheap and then used the HTML code and imported that into my shopify store to add apparel as print on demand. So it can be connected that way without having to "pay twice" for it.
*LOL, My sticker being the best there is out there, starts at $5 and goes up. Over 95% of my customers become repeat customers.* *With my stickers, you're getting a Ferrari, with everyone else's stickers, you're getting a Volkwagon.* *Several stores now carry my stickers and they sell very well.*
I have never used Gildan because of the shrinkage. I understand this is a comparison of the cheapest options, but Gildan is cheap for a reason and I don’t think it’s a fair comparison of the POD companies when the shirts aren’t made by them.
There are so many companies now. And they all excel in different areas. I’ve been working on a complete breakdown video of all the different companies. I haven’t reviewed those companies in to long to comment. I need to order more clothes and do an update on them
Hi Shimmy,I am print on demand seller.I use the facebook engagement objective to test desings/products. ****One dollar daily budget. After one day Asses the metrics. 1)-cost per engagement should be less than $0.05. 2)-Unique CTR(all) should be more than 20% What do you think about this facebook ad stretagy.?Is it correct facebook ad stretagy?
Spring was a complete joke. I'd update my products and then they wouldn't show on the website for hours. Support just told me to clear my browser cache which is bullshit it doesn't even work on another computer. Others have also had this issue.
New here and one thing I noticed is the very brief display of the graphics you have taken the time to create only to get back to your face! Graphics / Your Face? I would like to see the graphic a bit longer vs being instantly taken back to your face. IMHO certainly can't speak for others.
To me they both failed the test for a profitable POD shop. Shipping on Spreadshop and product cost is the deal breaker for me. For Spring, the quality is unbearable. Both have failed.
I jave a spring shirt that I designed and printed 3 months ago and the design is rubbing off. I have one I made 5 years ago and no problem even now, the one from 3 months ago, you can't even read the text!!! So dissapointed. So cheap... and so expensive.
You're the ONLY person that made a vid on this.... thank you
You’re welcome!!
I love your video and the information you give. I'm new here on POD things, and I started a spreadshop because of your videos.❤
that's awesome! thank you!

Spring took 3 months to ship my order! And customers. And they didn’t respond.
This review was incredible as usual. thanks for the heads Up ...
Hi Shimmy,
This was a very helpful video.
Could you please confirm if the prices you spoke about are in American dollars?
Thank you!
Thank you for this!

So, other than these two sites, who do you prefer to go with?

nice!!! that's awesome
hi! may i kindly ask, are you referring to spreadshop or spring ?
@@anamacklis2355 *Neither, we produce our own decals in-house. But for T-shirts, mugs, puzzles, etc..., we use Printify.*
@@radicalrick9587do you connect Printify with Etsy or a free platform?
What platform are you using for your stickers?

Great video this was exactly what I was looking to get info on!!! Thank you!!!
thank you!
Thank you for doing this. It's incredible to see the issues that ruin me wanting to use it.
Glad it was helpful!
I was planning to use spreadshop but I’m not sure anymore. Is it still improved?
Wow, perfect timing on this vid. I hit first tier of YPP right before you dropped it, lol. Thanks for this!
nice!
Hey Shimmy can you make a video on the the best of all time pod company which you use and we should also. Doing vs we get confused
that's the plan. It's taking a long time and it's hard as companies are constantly changing
for the spod shirt, did you ordered spreadshirt 812 brand ?
What is the material of both of the shirts?
I think if you want a custom domain on spread you can buy a domain and just forward it with masking. It still sucks for SEO, but works I think.
do you suggest me to use custom cat? or spod ?
You have many videos saying other companies are best also. How do these compare to awkward styles or gelato or monster digital or amazon?
There are so many companies now. And they all excel in different areas. I’ve been working on a complete breakdown video of all the different companies.
I haven’t reviewed those companies in to long to comment. I need to order more clothes and do an update on them

What do you think about this facebook ad stretagy.?Is it correct facebook ad stretagy?
spring is absolute garbage prints coming out wrong its dead I had to close my merch store
Hi Shimy,Are there anyone hire a fashion designer to create the designs for print on demand product?Is it useful?
Spring was a complete joke. I'd update my products and then they wouldn't show on the website for hours. Support just told me to clear my browser cache which is bullshit it doesn't even work on another computer. Others have also had this issue.
yup... one of many many issues
What about fourthwall?
i've never tried them so can't say much about them
i used them with printful and shipping was expensivr n slow

How about teepublic?
I jave a spring shirt that I designed and printed 3 months ago and the design is rubbing off. I have one I made 5 years ago and no problem even now, the one from 3 months ago, you can't even read the text!!! So dissapointed. So cheap... and so expensive.
yup! they got so much worse!
Spring?
The one that might be going bankrupt?
I've been looking for recent reviews but they are mostly negative.

thnx shimmy
You're welcome 😊
