Thinking About Switching My Etsy Poster Shop to PrintShrimp Need Honest Advice 😅
Hey everyone, I’m seriously considering moving my Etsy wall art shop over to PrintShrimp and would really appreciate some honest feedback from people already using it long term. At the moment I mainly sell posters in these sizes: • 6x8• 12x16• 12x18• 16x24• 18x24• 20x30• 24x36• 28x40 Both vertical and horizontal. I’m currently using another POD provider where shipping costs force me to price much higher, especially for larger formats. What I’m trying to fully understand with PrintShrimp is: • Is shipping REALLY completely free for UK, Germany, France & Spain, EU1, EU2, USA, Canada and AUS because those orders are fulfilled locally? • And only “World” orders get charged shipping? • Are the prices shown in the pricing table truly the final production costs? • Or are there hidden costs later during fulfillment? Example: If a 20x30 print shows £10.49 in the pricing table for USA / UK / EU, is that literally all I pay to PrintShrimp for that order? Meaning: If I sell that poster for let's say £29.99 on Etsy, would my profit basically be: Sale price minus Etsy fees minus £10.49 That honestly feels almost too good to be true compared to what I’m used to with other POD providers. I’m also thinking about simply excluding “Rest of World” countries in my Etsy shipping profile and only focusing on the regions where PrintShrimp fulfills locally with free shipping. Am I thinking about this correctly? Another thing I still don’t fully understand: Is there some kind of preview/mockup system before publishing products? For example: With Printify I can drag my artwork into a format frame and immediately see if everything fits correctly for the selected size and aspect ratio. Does PrintShrimp have something similar? Or how do you safely check: • crops • positioning • bordersbefore publishing? And honestly…I still don’t fully understand the SKU side of things either 😅 Also: How exactly do the Etsy listings appear in practice? Do I need to manually create the Etsy listings and all variants first and then somehow connect them afterwards?
