Great POD company

I have been using Gelato for years now with thousands of Etsy orders, and they're a really great POD service.

I have very few issues with orders and when the odd one does come through (which is inevitable whichever company you use), they are always quick to help me and compensate.

The posters I order through them are really high quality and are delivered quickly. I also find the service easy to use.

My only thing I would love to see improved is a bit more scope for feedback on production. I've asked for things to be looked into in the past (e.g. being able to send A4 size prints in the US (rather than 8x12 inch) and also some problems with the EU GPSR), but they kind of end up being forgotten about even though they would greatly improve the core service they offer and help me as a small business to offer a better service to customers.

Overall though I would recommend, especially if you are just getting started and need help with production as a small business owner.

Terrible shipping

Terrible shipping. I have a webshop for phone cases (iPhone) and it took about 3-4 WEEKS for the phone cases to arrive to my costumers, this was with 10USD (78SEK) in shipping cost.

Terrible! I don’t use gelato anymore I print my phone cases in Asia and they arrive faster :-)

Hi there,

Continuous price hikes

On the whole the service from Gelato is good, but they keep putting up the price of the base product we are selling, without any notice. The first time, we put the price up to our customers to accommodate but as the product is a 2026 calendar we can't put the price up any more because if they order now they are not getting 12 months out of it. It feels sneaky and unfair to keep doing this and squeezing sellers' margins continuously. We're shutting the business now and this sort of practice is one of the reasons we've decided not to bother continuing.

If you had any doubts about using Gelato.com, let me assure you to put them to rest. My experience with this platform has been nothing but positive. The print quality of the photos and the product they offer make offering prints in my online store easy because I know that I’m selling a high quality product that I can be proud of. Also Integrating gelato with my squarespace was extremely easy.

Not a stretched canvas

Not a stretched canvas

Poor quality control unacceptable for the price

The canvas arrived incorrectly mounted, with uneven tension that causes visible distortion along the edge when hung. This is immediately noticeable and not something that should pass quality control.

To make matters worse, no stretcher bar wedges were included, meaning the canvas cannot be adjusted or properly tensioned at all. These are basic, standard components and their absence suggests the order was not checked before dispatch.

I pay a premium for canvas printing to avoid exactly this kind of issue. This finish is not professional and not suitable in its current state. Very disappointing quality for the price charged and yet another angry customer

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the canvas you received did not meet our quality standards.

This is not the experience we aim to provide, and we take concerns like this very seriously. Our team works closely with our production partners to address quality issues when they occur.

We’ve reached out to you via email to assist further and resolve this.

Their website is really easy to use and create the products with your designs easily. There are some other stationary products that I wish they offered as their products, especially the stationary are excellent quality and the printing and shipping service is really fast, Packaging is good too so the products are not damaged.

New to print on demand

I'm new to print on demand but find using gelato very intuitive. I had a problem with my first order but had a response from gelato within a couple of minutes and the issue was resolved very quickly. Since then I've had customers buy my art through etsy and they have all been happy with their purchases and I've received 5 star reviews.

The print quality bad


The print quality of some of the samples that I ordered before I launched my clothing line was absolutely horrible. On top of it, there’s no way to get a hold of anybody in Customer Service, only a huge run around from one email message to another one, discontinued emails for customer service, week-long delays getting any email response from them, etc.
