We narrowed it down to two print shops who both produce items in house and appeared to be quality-conscious, Contrado in the UK, and Art of Where in Canada. It’s hard to know how much of this is COVID-related, so we realize we need to cut all businesses some slack to some degree, but when there are patterns of reviewers consistently leaving one-star reviews mentioning they wish they could leave zero stars, it’s worth taking note before diving in to this model. (Take a look at Trustpilot reviews and Shopify community posts for the companies below to see what I mean). For many of those companies, there is a problematic lack of transparency as it relates to the supply chain and seemingly atrocious customer service across the board. There are an infinite number of items to print on produced by companies around the globe, as well as any third-party printers they work with. The short answer is, it’s not looking good. (This page was initially written in October of 2020, with a few minor updates/additions in November of 2021.) I’ve also been looking at how well those solutions integrate with both WooCommerce and Shopify as a starting point for a new Humanitou shop that can help fund the podcast and our small studio space, as well as provide an additional creative outlet with products we love. For the last couple of weeks I have been exploring the current state of the print-on-demand and drop-shipping industry.
