Hi Paulana, sorry about the missing piece. I’d like to track down what happened with it. Send me a DM on Instagram @podpartner_official with your order number and I’ll look into it.

Incredible quality and printing

I’m very happy with the quality POD Partner provides - the heavyweight material, the embedded print and now they have even have new printing techniques which I like to experiment with! They’ve helped to set my brand - Pscripture Apparel - apart.

Reply from PODpartner2026-10-10

Thanks Janice! Love that we get to be part of what makes Pscripture Apparel stand out. Go wild with the new techniques, you can stack 3D puff embroidery and HTV right on top of DTG on the same piece. Woven labels and custom patterns are launching soon too, can’t wait to see what you make next.

I always use PODPARTNER printing brand…

I always use PODPARTNER printing brand because they have a good quantity and quality of different wearing pieces, and you can customize different parts with oversized print looks on the front, the back or on the sides sleeves. And not less important, the prices are very competitive. Only a little issue is a few quantity the colors of the pieces, it could have more choices.

Reply from PODpartner2026-10-10

Thanks Cristian! Glad you’re making the most of it, front, back and sleeves, with prints up to 24×24″. Fair point on the colors, I’ve passed it on to the team, and we keep adding new blanks. Custom patterns and woven labels are both launching soon too, so you’ll be able to make your pieces even more your own.

Double standards for big brands vs small creators. Terrible quality.

"I chose this platform based on the positive reviews and promised high-grammage product quality of large brands (e.g., OrganicStarboy). However, as a boutique brand founder, the scenario I encountered in my first trial order was a complete disappointment. Logistics and Delivery Problems: It took a full 21 days (almost a month) for my order to arrive. It's impossible to achieve customer satisfaction at this speed in e-commerce. Fabric and Quality Deception: The product, sold as 400 GSM in stores, definitely doesn't feel that heavy; it's quite thin and feels like a standard fabric. Faulty Workmanship: When the product arrived, there was a very poorly made, white layer right inside the seams, looking like it had been left unfinished. The visual quality and internal workmanship are unacceptable for a premium brand. The Big Truth: While this platform directs orders from large brands with thousands of sales to the highest quality subcontractors and strict quality control lines, it condemns new boutique entrepreneurs to unchecked, defective, and low-quality subcontractor producers. Moreover, it completely ignores negative reviews on Trustpilot and only considers positive ones." By responding in this way, they are trying to hide this double standard system behind it. Newcomers should be careful; you may not see the same quality service in your boutique orders as you do in big brands. Don't risk your money and time."

Thank you for taking the time to write this out — a 21-day wait and the finish you're describing aren't what we want anyone to have, boutique or not. We'd really like to look into it rather than leave it sitting here. Could you DM us your order number? Because we run our own factory, we can trace it back to the exact batch — the actual fabric weight that shipped, the finishing, and where the time went in production versus transit. If something went wrong on our end, we'll make it right. One gentle note for anyone reading: we're a single factory we own, not a network that routes orders to different subcontractors. A 1-unit trial and a large drop run on the same machines, through the same QC — there's no separate line for smaller brands. We read every review here, and we'd genuinely like the chance to sort yours out.

Feedback & Improvement Suggestions

Feedback & Improvement Suggestions Thank you for your reply. I would like to add a few constructive points to my review. The branding you offer is clearly one of your strongest advantages. The level of customization (bags, labels, adjustable elements, etc.) allows brands to build a consistent and professional identity. The quality of the t-shirts and hoodies is very good, the finishes are clean, and the overall result looks serious and premium. The oversized cuts on the t-shirts are also very well executed. Your team is also very responsive. The answers are quick, clear, and efficient, which is very reassuring when developing a brand. After comparing with other suppliers on the market, it is honestly difficult to find an equivalent in terms of overall quality and especially branding. In terms of product development, it would be very interesting to expand the range with technical fabric jerseys, sportwear-style pieces (breathable material, athletic look, more structured visual finish), similar to what you see in football, motorsport, or sport-inspired collections. The current t-shirts are great, but this type of technical “jersey” product is currently missing. It would also be relevant to go further with pants by introducing super baggy or mega baggy fits. These oversized silhouettes are very trendy right now and could attract a wider audience. Regarding the Shopify integration, it works well overall, but there are still occasional small bugs or syncing issues, particularly with product descriptions. It is not blocking, but there is still some room for improvement to make everything perfectly smooth. Overall, your quality, branding, and customization freedom are real strengths. With the addition of technical jerseys and super baggy / mega baggy pants, you could reach an even higher level.

Reply from PODpartner2026-10-10

Thanks NOZE, really appreciate you coming back with all this. This kind of feedback actually shapes what we build. The mega baggy pants idea is good timing: we’re opening up custom patterns soon, so you’ll be able to make the exact silhouette you want. Woven labels are launching soon too, which should round out your branding. Technical jerseys are outside what we do right now since we work mainly in 100% cotton, but I’ve noted the demand. On the Shopify description syncing, I’ve passed it to our dev team. If you can DM me on Instagram @podpartner_official with the products where it happened, we can pin it down faster.

The most horrible customer service…

The most horrible customer service ever. Basically were so late to respond and due to non response our $300 sample order went straight to their center to destroy the merch they apparently produced!? I don't know, definitely not worth throwing money into wind. Just avoid at all cost.

Reply from PODpartner2026-06-02

We're sorry — a slow response, and a paid sample order ending up destroyed before it was resolved, isn't the standard we hold ourselves to. Please DM us your order number and we'll trace exactly what happened and make it right. We'd much rather fix this than have it end here.

After reading the negative reviews

After reading the negative reviews, I was quite skeptical. Despite that, I still decided to order a sample because of the large DTG print they offer. I received my order in Europe within 11 days. The print looks really good, especially because of the large design, and the T-shirt itself is of nice quality.

Do not waste your time with these…

Do not waste your time with these people. Things may look good on the outside but I promise you, you will severely regret it! Their print quality is horrible, their embroidery is fragile and messy, their HTV prints are not durable at all and deteriorate after one wash, despite them promising it won't. But worst of all is trying to communicate with them. They have a window of like 1 hour when they respond a day, and most of the time they don't actually help. You'll feel like you're talking to bots. Their shipping time is about 15 days on average to the US, and 1 in 3 parcels go missing. The only kind of good thing I can say about them is the quality of the garments, which isn't a surprise since they don't even manufacture them, they source from someone else.

We position our store as "premium…

We position our store as "premium casual," so fabric handfeel and construction are non-negotiable. PODpartner delivers on both. The heavier tees feel substantial without being stiff, embroidery edges are neat with no loose threads, and the color saturation on dark garments is impressive. After multiple wash cycles, the shape holds and there's minimal fading - exactly what we promise our customers.

Reply from PODpartner2026-02-24

Thank you so much for your feedback on our store. We are delighted to hear that you are satisfied with the quality of our products and services. Providing our customers with exceptional products and experiences has always been our top priority.

Never received my package

My package was never delivered, it was sent to the warehouse, I was never provided the warehouse’s address to pick up, they never rescheduled a delivery, it was seating there in the limbo then eventually disposed. They refused to provide a refund or have my package resent. So I got robbed.

The worst POD company of all time

These guys do a lot of things right, in terms of product quality and services, but the most important thing wrong which is communication. And when they finally do comminicate, they lie, manipulate, gaslight, mislead and so on. We placed an order with a value of $3000, and the parcels have still not been delivered after 25 days. Do not work with these people.

NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT!

Part 2 of my order that needed to go to Ibiza. Its still in China and I placed the order on 12-11-2025. I have been emailing them (59 emails in total) about this order. 80% of the emails start with 'We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused' but they never come with solving this problem. We talked/mailed about 'delay compensation' were the customer support told how the policy works, after 5/6 emails they said: Hello friend, I sincerely apologize for the error and must clarify that orders shipped to remote areas via China Post are not eligible for our delay compensation policy. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards Why don't you address this immediately instead of emailing 5/6 times.... I told them and I got the response: PODpartner team Dec 16, 2025, 10:29 AM (5 days ago) to me Hello friend, We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. Since the order was returned due to unavoidable circumstances related to customs inspection, this situation does not qualify for our delay compensation policy. We appreciate your understanding. Page: delay-compensation-policy image.png Best regards Ever since Im still waiting for the order... It's almost end of the year and no solution is offered.

Worst Costumer Service ever

Unfortunately, the negative reviews about PODPartner are true. Before ordering, I thought those were probably just isolated cases, but my own experience proved otherwise. I ordered a T-shirt with embroidery on the front and DTG print on the back. The delivery took around 3.5 weeks. The DTG print was acceptable, but the colors were noticeably faded compared to other POD providers. The main issue was the embroidery. I paid an extra digitization fee and received a preview file showing a readable design, which I approved. However, when the shirt arrived, the embroidery was barely readable and looked very different from what had been agreed on. After contacting support, I was simply told that the design was “too small” and that thin designs are not recommended. This was never communicated before production, making the digitization process completely pointless. Other providers can produce readable embroidery using the same file, so the problem was not the artwork. I also never received a response regarding a refund or a redo. Overall, very disappointing communication and customer support. I would strongly recommend choosing a different provider to avoid wasting time, money, and nerves.

Reply from PODpartner2025-12-19

We are incredibly sorry for this experience. It is never our intention to ignore a refund request or produce unreadable embroidery after a preview is approved. This sounds like a breakdown in our communication and production workflow. We take full responsibility for the quality issue since the design was approved by our team. Could you please provide your order number? We want to process your refund immediately and ensure this feedback is used to retrain our support team so this doesn't happen again.

My client received a tee with a terrible, faded print

My client received a tee with a terrible, faded print. I reached out to customer service, but they refused to refund me. I ended up refunding my client out of my own pocket. Totally dishonest — I’ll never work with them again

Reply from PODpartner2025-08-06

We’re truly sorry to hear about the faded print and the refund issue. Could you please offer your order number? We can investigate and fix this for you right away. Once we have that, we’ll pull up the details and follow up within 24 hours.

Worst company ever I have order more…

Worst company ever I have order more than 150 shirts and spend over 3k dollars and on my last order they messed up big time with stain shirts and insufficient color, I sent pictures and videos for the ones they were bad. In total they were 20 shirts from 115 shirts I ordered and Jekita Peng who is the one to give refunds she kept telling me excuses for not to refund the 20 shirts and she decided to give me only 7 shirts with a refund. Insane but that’s why you have reviews to help others not to buy shirts from this company. They also take forever to answer your complaints seems like they don’t care about customer service. Worst company ever I am done with this business forever.

Reply from PODpartner2025-06-24

Thank you for your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction. Please allow us to clarify the situation for the sake of transparency: Your order included over 100 items featuring your own uploaded designs. As a Print-on-Demand supplier, we produced each shirt strictly according to the files and specifications you provided. Upon receiving your complaint, our team thoroughly reviewed the photos and videos you submitted. We identified the items that met our refund criteria—which are more stringent than the industry standard—and processed refunds for those items accordingly. Regarding the remaining pieces you mentioned, the issues appeared to be related to the submitted designs (e.g. low-resolution or improper color profiles), which we clearly indicate in our guidelines. Unfortunately, these are beyond the scope of what we can cover for refunds. We understand your frustration, but we respectfully ask all partners to ensure artwork quality and legality before production. We strive to support all merchants professionally and fairly. We remain committed to improving our communication and services and wish you the best in your business moving forward. Sincerely, PODpartner Team

I ordered a sample for myself they didn't find my home, they didn't tried to call me and they redelivered the package to the warehouse and now I have to pay an extra 5$ to make a new delivery. They refuse to return my money

Reply from PODpartner2025-02-13

We are truly sorry to hear about your experience. The decision to contact the recipient during the last-mile delivery phase depends on the local logistics provider, which can vary from country to country. Regarding the additional shipping fee, please understand that there are extra costs associated with redelivery, and according to our customer service policy, these are the responsibility of the recipient. We appreciate your understanding in this matter. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us.

Awesome company

Awesome company, good price, high quality products, only issue is shipping takes forever, but that is worth it for a better price and higher quality product, production takes longer because your products will go through a quality check by them which is awesome. W rizz
