Frequently Asked Questions
Which is cheaper to ship, Printify or Printful?
It depends on the product. On a single t-shirt, Printify's $4.49 first-item rate is slightly cheaper than Printful's $4.79. On a mug, Printful is cheaper ($4.79 vs Printify's $5.99). Hoodie shipping is identical between the two ($7.99). There's no single winner across every product — check the specific item you're shipping.
Does shipping get cheaper per unit on multi-item orders?
Yes, on both platforms. Only the first item in an order is charged the full rate — each additional unit of the same product in the same order is charged a lower "additional item" rate. Total shipping = first-item rate + (quantity − 1) × additional-item rate.
Does Printify's shipping rate vary by print provider?
Yes — Printify is a network of independent print providers, and shipping rates can differ between providers offering the same product. The rates shown here are for commonly used providers; always confirm the exact rate for the specific provider assigned to your order before pricing.
Should shipping rate alone decide which platform I use?
No — shipping is only one part of total cost. Base product cost also differs between Printify and Printful (sometimes by more than the shipping difference), so the platform with cheaper shipping isn't always the one with higher net profit.
