I was having some issues loading an image and reached out to customer service.,,,I was extremely frustrated. I was contacted by the CEO directly and got my issue resolved pronto. Response time was fast and the info was spot on. He was very understanding and most of all very helpful. They believe in customer service and backed it up 100%. I highly recommend.
It's Marvelous! Estoy encantada con esta app, justo lo que necesitaba para mi negocio!! Muchisimas gracias por su trabajo!!
Positives:
1) Really really good app! Fantastic process of setup, although you can't easily set every combination.
2) Product came quickly
3) They list the value of multiple tshirts as $10 (total) so that customs doesn't bother charging Canadian customers for importing - nice. Potentially illegal though.
Negatives:
1) Not great email customer service. I think they're still ramping this team up. That said, when I asked for a phone call with a manager, it got a response within a couple of hours. Not a deal breaker.
2) They basically have two tshirt types that are exactly the same but different labels on them. They were really helpful in explaining that I didn't need to pay more for the more expensive tshirt. But I ended up deciding to do so for the perceived value of the product I'd be shipping. Only thing was, they didn't HAVE the expensive one in stock, so rather than contact me and ask what I wanted, they just opted to send MY product out to MY customer on the cheaper shirt.... and charged me the extra buck for the more expensive tshirt. I didn't like them making decisions about my brand that way. To their credit, they immedaitely refunded me 100% when I complained and they said it would never happen again. Not a deal breaker.
3) Their system is really picky about the size of the image. I can understand why it shouldn't be too small, but how can it be too large? Not a deal breaker.
4) Their printing process leaves a smell on the shirts that resembles vinegar. It dissipates after a wash or two, but it's pretty strong coming out of the package. When we ordered a test run of a half-dozen shirts the team in the office complained until we sealed them back up. Not a deal breaker.
4) Their printing process involves making subtle changes to the image to optimize how it looks on a tshirt. In my case, it printed a white background behind the colour ink to make it pop. That might work for other images, but our product is faux-vintage. There are "holes" in the images to represent where the shirt is worn.
Without the holes, the product doesn't look right. Ultimately it was this product incompatibility that caused us to switch to Printful. If it hadn't been the case, I probably would have continued to work with them... and I might work with them on other products. I will update this review as I try that.
Please STAY AWAY from this app. Particularly if you have many SKUs; whenever you receive an order, it will require you to manually go to the app, find the order, and select MANUALLY which items belong to teelaunch and which items don't. It's an absolute waste of time. I had to refund my first order and delete the app after a week of trying to fix the app. The customer service is basically useless as well.
I’m Christopher, founder of teelaunch. While critical feedback is heard to hear it’s the only way we can get better, so thank you for leaving this review. While developing our app we wanted to make it easy for people to bring in products to teelaunch that they use to fulfill themselves or with someone else. That is why we created the product linking feature, which lets you link your Shopify products with your teelaunch products for fulfillment. For the vast majority of our customers this is a non-issue as products created in our app are automatically linked and no manual work is necessary to designate products as teelaunch products.
Your use case is a little different. It seems like you either fulfill yourself or through other providers more than a few products. We do have an ignore button that lets the app know that those products are not to be fulfilled by teelaunch but it was created with a smaller number of non-teelaunch products in mind. I’ve been working with the dev team to implement a feature that let you tell the app to ignore all unlinked (non teelaunch products). While this solution is coming too late for you, I appreciate your feedback so now users like you will be able to enjoy the app in the future.
The customer service for Teelaunch is terrible. Especially if you get Dave. This app is clunky compared to others such as printful.
I have had so many issues with this company. I've been with these guys for 3 years and I sell 80 to 100 signs a month. They wont do anything to fix the problem. I've had 3 damaged signs this month. They package these signs in thin cardboard sleeves, its honestly a joke. I've talked to other sellers and they are having the same issues. They make you jump through hoops get a refund. They use a company in Louisiana. Also when I complained before the CEO was supposed to contact me but he blew me off. This company is the worst when it comes to customer service. I've been looking for a metal company unfortunately they are hard to find. The moment I find one, I am out. So if you expect to use them, prepare for big losses because you will be refunding $200-300 orders back.
This is Christopher, founder of teelaunch. First, I want to sincerely apologize for not reaching out sooner - there was a communication breakdown on our end. As a long-term partner who's been with us for 3 years, you deserved better communication from me.
I want to be transparent about our metal signs production. As I've mentioned before, these are produced by a partner factory in our extended network. They face the complex challenge of balancing three key factors: cost, speed, and quality. They've done extensive analysis to find the current sweet spot - while thicker metal would reduce bending issues, it would significantly drive up costs for our sellers. Similarly, sturdier packaging would substantially increase packaging time for each individual sign, slowing down production considerably.
We've successfully sold hundreds of thousands of these signs with a very small percentage of issues. When problems do occur, we always make it right with either a refund or replacement. However, I should note that the claim process for replacements or refunds is actually set by UPS, not us, and unfortunately we have no control over their procedures.
I know this may not be the perfect solution for everyone's needs, but this is the current product offering our factory partner has optimized for the majority of our sellers. We truly value your business and feedback, and I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to explain the situation.
BE CAREFUL! Exercise caution when dealing with TEELAUNCH. While they may fulfill a few orders promptly, ordering in more than a few orders poses a risk. They struggle to meet deadlines when you start submitting more than a few orders and to exacerbate the issue, they enforce a 10-day no-movement tracking policy. This means they acquire the tracking information but don't dispatch the item to the courier for an entire ten days. Unfortunately, this policy nearly compromised my business during the last Christmas season.
Thank you for bringing up your experience from January 2024! I'm excited to share that we've completely transformed our blanket production since then. We've expanded to two state-of-the-art facilities and significantly boosted our capacity - we can now produce up to 1,000 blankets per hour! We've also switched to a new shipping service to ensure smoother delivery. While I understand your frustration with the issues you faced last year, I'm happy to say those concerns have been fully addressed with our new setup. I'd love for you to check out our improved blankets and service - we've come a long way! 😊
