why is the shipping so expensive? it cost almost €19 for 3-5 business days and in that case, you won't make any profit unless you chose to use the 10-20 business days option.
Shopify has more automated integrations with Printful then other ecommerce website builders (ex, Wix which I use in addition to Etsy). Examples include 1.) ability to offer express shipping through Shopify with shop owner offering "free" standard shipping and customer paying difference; 2.) easier tag integration (ex., page view, add to cart, checkout) with Pinterest then with Wix. I really enjoy the Printful platform as it's robust and user friendly. Thanks for the great video...I'd like a user guide for how a shop owner can ship internationally with the various ecommerce sites.
You forgot to tell that you also always charge VAT for orders, fulfilled to UK, which was a big surprise for me, because as EU company I also have to charge VAT, so each shirt comes out double charged with VAT. As a result a $15 Bella Canvas shirt should be priced at $35 to get at least $5 profit on Amazon UK...
Hello. I live in the United States. It is my understanding that if something is fulfilled here, and sent there, VAT isn't applicable. Only customs would be applicable, which would fall on the customer... Is this true? And if so, can we circumvent your Latvia location and ship solely from the US? Our main goal is to stay as automated as possible and avoid the headache of VAT, we don't mind longer shipping times and customs on the customers. We don't expect as many EU customers as US customers. Any help greatly appreciated, thanks!
Hey! You should consult a professional with any tax-related questions. If you want your orders to only get routed to specific regions, go to Settings > Orders > Order routing. You can learn more about it here: www.printful.com/faq/shipping-packaging-fulfillment/369-can-i-choose-where-my-products-are-fulfilled-
I'm not sure if Spreadshirt/Redbubble or Printful (no online marketplace) is the right solution for me. I need someone to talk about it with. I have a bunch of ideas for t-shirts (and maybe more).
So can I sell what products i want because for example i want to sell over sized t shirt but it comes from Japan and I'm in Europe. Can I still send it worldwide?
Hey! Some of our products can be delivered to specific areas only. If a shirt can only be shipped locally, you'll have to choose a different product if you're intending to sell it outside that particular area. 😊
if i want to sell my handmade items to europe from turkmenistan from cental asia how can i realise it or in which site i can sell to europe easer? thank you
I have a question. I am trying to link my Printful account to my Amazon Merch account to both sell in North America and in Europe but I'm having difficulty. After I authorized in North America I can't click Authorize in Europe and get to a page that lets me link them. Please help as I can't find any instructional videos on this yet. I'm not sure if this is because I just requested and finished setting up my seller account for Amazon and it needs some time to authorize in North America first or if I'm just doing something wrong, already requested EIN exemption! Thanks !

I'm no longer seeing the option to only ship EU items from EU. I'm working shipping cost into my prices in order to offer free shipping, but if you guys ship to EU from US, I'm going to lose money. I'm just going to keep it in the US for now, unless this changes.
Hey Heather, we usually ship EU items from EU and only if there are any stock issues or anything else we may ship from the US to the EU. You might find this article useful: www.printful.com/faq/shipping-packaging-fulfillment/369-can-i-choose-where-my-products-are-fulfilled-
Okey so, What i find is missing at least to say in scandinavia is eco-friendly t-shirts, as most of us in some case cares about the enviroment. We are millenials ;)
Overall, shipping times have improved lately, however, Covid-19 related delays are still happening worldwide. If you're facing issues with any of your orders, please contact us via support@printful.com or the live website chat, and our team will do everything to help.

The same people who are against EU being more united, are the same ones that are complaining about how difficult bureaucracy is. Simple people don't understand what they really want and usually want the opposite at the same time. EU VAT tax system is changing first of July 2021. Reporting will be easier after that, but more VAT will be collected, of course :)

Actually she did at 5:20
She speaks too fast... you be got to slow the voice settings
They look like THE most uncomfortable chairs 😂
Does this information need updating with brexit 🤔
Nice vídeo ! O didn’t know that printfull has a store in Europe !
So if Etsy already charges the customer Vat and Printful charges Vat means each order is charged vat twice ? How to avoid that ?
This was helpful. would definitely like to see more of these.

Are we able to ONLY sell in Europe? I don't know a lot about taxes and I don't think I wanna deal with that!
You can sell worldwide but you can also only sell in Europe if you prefer so. :) You should consult a tax professional with any tax-related questions.

The "Not that united" Europe Union
The same people who are against EU being more united, are the same ones that are complaining about how difficult bureaucracy is. Simple people don't understand what they really want and usually want the opposite at the same time. EU VAT tax system is changing first of July 2021.
