**Quality Products, but App Issues and Misleading Pricing and Shipping** I chose Contrado because of their unique and high-quality products, which aren't typically available through traditional print-on-demand services. Last fall, they informed artists about their focus on developing their drop shipping business. I decided to be patient with the transition, but several issues with their app and services have arisen: - I placed test orders using test credit card numbers and clearly fake data. Their automated system processed these without any checks, resulting in an $800 charge to cover what was obviously a test order. This raises serious concerns about their ability prevent actual fraudulent orders. - An app update caused all variants for over 100 products I imported into Shopify to display the same price. This issue has persisted for over two weeks without resolution. - Another update corrupted all product images for their lampshade products, making them impossible to list for sale. - Despite the information on their website, shipping costs are exorbitant. I factored in a maximum shipping price of $35.95 for a large item based on the information provided by their site, only to be hit with an additional $360 "bulky" shipping fee when fulfilling an order via Etsy. Customer service was apologetic but ultimately unhelpful, leaving me with a significant loss and a canceled order, affecting my standing on Etsy. These issues have severely impacted my business, resulting in over four months of lost time creating products, transferring them to Shopify, and manually addressing numerous bugs. I no longer feel confident in continuing with Contrado and will seek a new production partner. Proceed with caution.

Very satisfied using Contrado to create beautiful pieces with my art. Got my samples in and am very impressed at their craftsmanship. High quality and details on each piece. Just what I was looking for! Fast production time, shipping and great customer service too! 5/24/24. UPDATE: was going great but now the service is not up to par. Ordered their new custom sliders. What they don't tell you is the width is the same as a man's shoe. The leather that holds your foot in place had a 1 inch gap around my foot. It is clear these are D not B width shoes and there is nothing written on their description about this. I will not be offering these shoes in my store because of the hassle of return requests this will bring and Contrado will not give you a refund, even if things like this are not stated on their website. Extremely disappointed.

Ordered a leather handbag, expected something decent, and they overdelivered. I paid almost $200 for the bag, amazing to say, the quality is on par with genuine louis vuitton, valentino, chanel; the craftsmanship is impeccable. The stitching, leather quality, hardware is to die for. Anyone saying it is "expensive" should see what luxury handbags cost before they complain it's "expensive". One of the best PODs I've ever used. And no, the mockups aren't bad. I wish this company offered down jackets (heavy winter jackets). I love jackets and I believe this company would do an amazing job with those. My ONLY criticism is they should offer clothing mockups without models in the photos. I cannot sell the photos with models, as it does not fit my brand. Besides that, I promise you the shipping time and product is beyond my expectations. The bag I got is the best I own, I own genuine Italian leather, yet they knock them out of the park. I'm obsessed with the bag.

Hallo liebe Contrado team, ich habe schon ein Paar Produkte als Muster bestellt und das Qualität finde ich wirklich hervorragend (bisschen zu teuer) so ist schwierig zum verkaufen. Habt ihr nicht gedacht vielleicht auch noch echt leder Sneakers zum anbieten? Aber sonst ich bin sehr zufrieden, die Lieferung ist mega schnell! Happy Weekend!

I love Contrado. They create quality products with stellar customer service. They are one of the few PODs that work in high quality leather printing with carefully selected clasps and zips. Those details make a big difference in the overall luxury feel of their products. They have a beautiful 3D visualization of your design during the digital building of the product which shows it from all angles. They seem intent on building relationships with artists and designers which boost their company, and will go out of their way to make sure that you are happy. (I do wish that they had downloadable templates using Adobe applications (Illustrator/Photoshop) for precise positioning, but It is pretty easy to navigate sizing so far.) Highly recommend this app. You actually feel that there are people with craftsmanship and skills behind this integration who are ready to make beautiful things. And when they see you making an effort to create beautiful things, they support your efforts. The integration with the Shopify app is pretty seamless. I've only had a couple of glitches with revising products and losing the tags associated with them. Once I reached out to describe the technical stuff, the Contrado IT department resolved it. Again, there are actually people behind this company doing great work!

My customer seems to love their item! 3rd order from the same customer. They said the shades had more of a glossy finish this time, which they loved!

The Contrado app is easy to use. I use their website to create the products, click "sync" and boom, there it is on my shopify website! Their print service is fast as all heck and they ship to the US quickly and at a low cost. I ran into trouble when a couple products "disappeared" from my shopify page and I couldn't get them to return. Their staff actually reached out to me to offer help. Deepa is so patient and worked with me to figure out what went wrong. She knows all, I swear. Here's the fix: take it off your Contrado site and MAKE A NEW LISTING with the same information. Easy peasy!! I've ordered maybe 50 items from them thus far and every single one has been exactly the high quality they advertise and I expected. I had color trouble once, and recommend that you use designs with a higher contrast than you think you need since they show up differently on fabric than on a computer screen. They also offer automated payments so when a customer places an order, they pay you, and the order and payment for the item goes straight to Contrado so you can relax knowing everything in production, shipping, and payment is entirely taken care of. TL;DR the Contrado app is worth the download, their products are great, and their customer service is 10/10.

I really LOVE Contrado. For one, customer support is superb. Second, the product quality is amazing, print is so crisp and clean, and the leather and silk (amidst other material options) are great. The shipping time and processing is really fast and efficient, too. Overall, I am SO glad I came across them. They are PERFECT for the artist looking to penetrate a more high end market place with their art - taking it to a "designer" "high fashion" level. For myself as an artist and fashion lover, this is the meeting of both worlds. I am so excited to see what they come out with next! Very pleased, highly recommend, and look forward to working with them for years to come!
