Apliiq ‑ Print On Demand

Apliiq is great for the plethora of different options they have to customize your apparel. No other drop shipping company comes close. If I could offer one suggestion for improvement it'd be some UI cleanup and to add a mockup system directly into the wesbite. Show more

I looked everywhere for a POD partner who offered high quality apparel and am so glad I found Apliiq! They have a great variety of high quality streetwear and hats for my store. They have a thorough design process, quick turnaround times, and great customer service! Highly recommend! Show more

I had great expectations for this energetic, young company, but I'm pulling the plug, and here's why: 1. Lagging Fulfillment and Turnaround Times: The fulfillment and turnaround times were nothing short of disappointing. Countless frustrated customers bombarded me with questions about the whereabouts of their orders. Despite Apliiq's claim of a two-week average turnaround from door to door (still too long), it often stretched to three weeks. At this rate, you risk losing your valued customers, mind you, this is during the less hectic months. I shudder to think what chaos the fourth quarter and holiday season timelines would bring, with a potential wave of irate customers left waiting for their t-shirts. 2. Customer Service Requires Urgent Enhancement: While customer service is somewhat acceptable, it desperately needs improvement. Live chat is agonizingly slow, and email responses are no better. Waiting for a 48-hour turnaround is common, and sometimes I had to send two or three follow-up emails to address a single issue. 3. Mistakes and Blunders: Yes, we all make mistakes, but Apliiq's frequency of errors and the timing of these mistakes is simply unacceptable. Several of my customers received soiled shirts, one received an unraveling shirt and a few received the wrong shirt. The process itself is part of the problem - Apliiq orders the shirts from vendors/wholesalers only after your customers have placed their orders. So, if one of those shirts is defective (which can be often) I'm sure they just print and ship that dirty shirt. An unwieldy business model at best. What are the alternatives? Apliiq suggests pre-purchasing printed shirts from them, so they can ship out quickly. But at that point, why even involve them? The ENTIRE allure of on-demand printing is to avoid such complications!  Alternative #2, Apliiq suggests allowing them to print on ANY shirt they have available and if anyone knows anything about t-shirts, they know that they vary wildly in quality and many of them stink!   Declining Quality: I periodically ordered sample shirts from Apliiq to check my designs and received shirts with designs printed crooked and poorly printed. My theory is that they're onboarding way too many new shops and can't cope with the volume. And who pays the price? You, as your hard-earned customers walk away. I had high hopes for Apliiq, but ultimately, they fell short. The team is undoubtedly kind-hearted, but they urgently need to overhaul their processes and logistics. Rapid expansion at the cost of small businesses like ours leads to dissatisfied customers and disappointment. If you're considering Apliiq for your t-shirt shop, think twice. Show more

After months of research to find the best PoD suppliers and vendors, we started our first drop-shipping business with Apliiq. They have not disappointed us the slightest bit!! Apliiq excels head and shoulders above anyone else by (a) providing a catalogue of exceptional materials, fabrics and garments, (b) customization of branding designs on the apparel, and (c) their relentless pursuit of extending outstanding customer services!! I most definitely recommend Apliiq to any new clothing brand company. Why? Because through them, you will get the best operational (PoD) services across the industry, hands down! Show more

I have used a few different POD apps and Apliiq is easily the best. They are very responsive and have quick turn around times. They are willing to go above and beyond to make sure you get what you need. Show more
