Printify Review Using Mylocker | Etsy

About this video

The creator reviews his experience using Printify with the MyLocker (also called Custom Cat) print provider for an Etsy order, and shows the returned shirts on camera. A customer ordered seven family ’elf’ shirts — Grandpa Elf, Grandma Elf, Sister Elf, Mommy Elf and others on Bella Canvas shirts — on November 13, 2018 for a cruise/event, needing them by December 1. He says production took 17 days and delivery was Friday, December 7, so the customer bought replacements locally. He also dislikes the print quality, describing the lettering outline as pixel-like on every shirt. With Printify Premium the shirts cost him $7.77 each; the Etsy transaction was $162.90, which he says would have been almost $90 profit, but he cancelled and refunded the whole order to avoid a bad review, saying his shop with over 250 reviews matters more long-term. He recommends ordering samples from any provider, prioritising print quality first, then shipping speed, then customer service, and raising processing times in Q4 when orders pile up.

Key takeaways

• Order samples from a print provider before selling — the creator found MyLocker’s print quality pixel-like on every returned shirt
• Rank providers by print quality first, shipping speed second, and customer service third
• A 17-day production time missed the customer’s December 1 deadline despite ordering November 13, forcing a full refund
• Cancelling and refunding on Etsy prevents a bad review; the creator chose that over keeping almost $90 profit on a $162.90 order
• In Q4, raise stated processing/shipping times (he suggests 7 to 10 days over 3 to 5) when order volume surges
