Hey, we’re happy to see our website reviewed. We’re taking notes on all the feedback too!
hello awkward, ive been using spring but recently im gettin fed up with them and how they needlessy remove my designs for my new edgy late 90's niche shop and im looking to find a new site , in what ways would you say yall are better than Spring?
@Awkward Styles, I wish you'd resolve the Blank Order screen issue and implement the Delete product fix.
@@HandHeldHalo Same here. All the issues and fixes you tried that thewy told you to do. I HAve the same issue
Thanks for commenting!
I use Awkward Styles already through Printify. Good quality and fast shipping. The only issue was on dark garments when they missed using a white underbase. This step should not be missed on dark garments. It doesn't happen a lot but it does create issues when this step is missed in production. It creates issues when I have to do returns or refunds. Just beware of dark garments like what Shimmy showed in this video. If this issue gets resolved they are one of the better POD services.
You are one of the few reviewers who washes the products prior to reviewing. That is, as you might say, “brilliant!” I don’t ever bother with the other reviewers who don’t run them through the wash. Thanks, Shimmy!
You’re welcome!!! It’s the most important part!!!!! I don’t understand people who skip it
I use cotton heritage through awkward styles and I'm so glad to see it getting the recognition it deserves! Although the fit isn't as roomy as other styles like gildan, I just make sure the size chart stands out. The quality is 100% worth the slight difference
Yup! It’s so flipping good!
As an artist I'm definitely going to use the canvas print and cotton heritage hoodies,
I love how the print blends with the material.
Oh and your niece is adorable 😂.
Ok...your niece totally stole the show!!! LOL ADORABLE!! Thanks for this review!! I'm gonna get started on it today!!!
haha totally! Thanks for watching!

Let me know what you think of their samples if you order any.
The only negative thing I have to say is the packaging in this video is misleading. My items came in a plain polymailer(not complaining about that), but none of my products were individually wrapped as shown here. Just placed together in a polymailer. Other than that, the quality was the best I have tested so far. SO Kudos to Awkward Styles.
oh that's strange. I wonder why mine were all individually wrapped
Such an awesome tutorial, especially since I am just embarking on this new stream of income. One that will actually compliment my business selling my original landscape and floral paintings online. So encouraging and inspiring!! Thank you sooo much!🙏
Great video Shimmy.... so glad you found some great products... love how excited you got with them. Thanks for testing them out for us
cheers Juna! They really were insanely good. Currently updating my etsy :D
aww.. my favorite part of this side hustle is when i make a shirt for someone i personaly know and the reaction i get from them..... it's the reason i love to do this kind of thing... and keeps me going for hours and not making any sales.... but anonymous sales would be nice too lol
ye that's the best!
@@shimmymorris1 that part of the video really gave me a warm feeling. Kinda tugged at my heart strings and reminds me why its such a joy to do this since i decided to skips having kids
.. Being the cool uncle is super for for me ... I. Sure for you as well
This is so awesome Shimmy. Never heard of this company before now and I'm excited to see what they offer!
Awesome!!! Enjoy. I’m definitely going to be ordering more samples for sure!
@@shimmymorris1 yo shimmy is the print quality better than printify
@@shimmymorris1so you just said in the video this company was the best one!! But you use Printful.??
Great video!!! LOVE all the closeup stitching details!
Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this review. So glad to see the company getting involved as well!!! Wonderful to see this!!!
ye that was nice!
Omg get your niece on camera more often … cuteness overload!!!!
aww thank you so much!
I guess her parents must be buying her plain shirts if she thought a design meant it was dirty even though she loves unicorns. You have to show her more print on demand stuff.
Such a great and helpful video! Your niece is so adorable 🥰
Thank you so much!!
OMG! Thanks for sharing your Bruce with us. Too cute! Keep up the good work Shimmy. Great review
thanks so much! :D
Shimmy, I love your review of Awkward Styles... Great info!! Your sweet niece, Ana'el stole the show!! Cutest, most clever girl ever!! "Cake!!" 💓💓💓
thank you so much!! She really is the cutest!
awesome review! ive been looking where to start and boom. this one is it!
Glad I could help!
Excellent job thank you for everything you do including the washing in your reviews I will definitely try these guys out. I have a very simple request if you will and if possible can you put your niece as your outro her energy is unmatched!! " BYEEEEEEEEEE SEE YOU SOON BABYYY" at the end of all you videos. Happy belated Birthday Ana'El!
Aw thank you so much!!! My niece is certainly the most energetic person I’ve ever known! It’s quite incredible she sat for the video at all. She was very excited!
Definitely try them out. They’re awesome!
Cake is currency 😁
Thanks for the timely and helpful review. I've been trying to use Awkward Styles for the last week but as a relative newbie I found the website less intuitive than some other POD's. For some reason I can't create an order from the templates as you did in the video, it just goes to a blank Order Screen. I also find it odd that you can't remove products from your Awkward Styles store at their end and have to remove it from your Sales Channel store and re-sync backwards to remove the item in your Awkward Styles Store. I've chatted with Customer Service who took a couple of days to reply and they couldn't give me an explanation for the order issue and said they will release a store deletion fix in a future update as they know it's a problem. It's a shame as I'd love to make a manual order to test their products as you have because the pricing and quality looks incredible. Thanks
Gosh that’s an annoying issue. I wonder why I didn’t have it. Maybe they’ve fixed the website since?
@@shimmymorris1 Hi! if you have an Etsy or shopify store synced with Printify, bring from the UK, do you have to pay VAT when they charge you for the T shirt?? Thanks :)
Same problem here for a few months. Even after the updated the dashboard. After I upload my email click on create order and that's it goes to a blank Order Screen. I sent videos, photos, and examples for 2 months back and forth and I guess their IT developers don't know why it's happening. I did find out it's something with their code and such because when you mouse over you can see the pointer turns to a hand to select the size etc. I tried from 4 computers and 3 different locations and browsers and had the same issue. I JUST GAVE UP. i really like them but....
@@shimmymorris1 As @Kobi Adato has also experienced the Blank Order screen is an issue they seem unable to resolve. I even cleared caches and created a new account with a different browser, created Templates and tried to order with exactly the same blank screen issue. I appreciate people are clearly using Awkward Styles without issue and like yourself are very happy with their products but it's a shame there's a significant minority that would like to use them but simply can't! 😞
thank you so much for this video and for being so detail oriented!
So glad I found your channel Much appreciation from Canada! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
thanks so much!! glad you like the videos
Your neice is such a Cutie pie! Thank you for your amazing videos, i have learned many things!
thank you so much!!
Most POD companies start out with high quality to start off, but over time the quality goes down to keep margins up
i hope that doesn't happen but if it does, be sure I'll make a video about it
When the doorbell goes I get excited for you
haha me too!!
It was your niece for me. THE CUTEST !!!!!
aw thank you so much!
I'm looking at getting back into POD (after having paused for several years). Happy to see your excitement about Awkward Styles - but then I also saw your Gelato review. I get that companies have made a lot of progress in quality and speed. How do you compare the two? ... or do you have yet another one in store that would even beat either one of those two?
I prefer Awkward Styles from a quality standpoint. Even though Gelato was a little cheaper on some products, I think overall, if you're going to connect with Etsy, try Awkward Styles
Hello everything is fine?
Wanted to know which company works with DTF? I don't like DTG printing very much.
Thank you for all your efforts to help us. And have different products.
I'm having bad luck with the shipping right now. lost item and 3 WEEK shipping time! Almost 1 month from order to delivery! It still has not been delivered at the time of this writing. Everything else is pretty good? I believe your recommendation is what turned me onto AS? You have any more recommendations?
That's nice but what are the branding options? If you want to create an actual brand, you can't just ship out the clothing with Champion labels...
Their mockups look so good you dont even need to make your own mockups. I like printify but their standard mockups look terrible. Good job awkward styles!
This was great. Thank for the video.
I can't wait to give them a go!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I just compared Printify and Awkward styles on champion shirts and believe it or not Awkward is lower priced than Printify by a decent margin.
Thanks for the review. It was very informative. I have a question for you. What do you do , or what/who would you recommend for custom packaging and a card insert? I need to switch provider from HugePOD who are terrible terrible when it comes to customer service. Custom packaging is important from my brand.
That niece is just adorable. 🦄
aww thank you
Hi, great vid. I doubt the answer will be yes but I thought I would still ask. Do they offer any custom branding options? Like having your own private label
It doesn't look like it. But If I was going for a Champion item, I wouldn't want to get rid of that as it holds a lot of value
i have a question if a have my shopify or etsy store can i sell maybe from awkward styles and printful at the same store?
yes for sure :D
Wait. Can I put any design on a Champion T-shirt? That's bonkers :o
I've noticed Akwardstyles sell merch on Amazon, I find this concerning as it could potentially be a conflict of interest. How can we be sure they aren't using our data to leverage and sell similar pieces?
I can't imagine they'd put their entire business at risk by doing this
Hi Mahad! We value transparency and the trust sellers put in us; we would never use data to gain an advantage on our online stores. As we state on our About page, we did start selling online! However, as can be seen in our Privacy Policy, we do not use your data to leverage and sell similar pieces in our stores. We have a team of in-house designers that work really hard to create best-selling designs, some of which can even be found in the Awkward Styles design gallery available for our users! We hope this helps answer your question. :)
Based on this video I started using AwkwardStyles. After several months I have moved all our T-Shirts, hoodies, etc. to them. Not only is their quality superb, it is matched by their lightning fast production and shipping. I have uploaded and ordered a design that arrived in less than 5 days from idea to my front door! They have the best customer service. They rapidly handle any issue and are very responsive. Thank you so much for reviewing and recommending AwkwardStyles. They have made my POD business a pleasure and my customers delighted.
woohoo! I'm so happy this video helped. I was really blown away by them too
Do you use them through printify or directly?
@@Mermaid03_03 Printify is a competitor of theirs. I order either direct from AwkwardStyles or I use the Shopify starter program which is just $5 a month. I have used them with Etsy but my sales mostly come from clubs and organizations that we do tees and other POD products. So I don’t want people stealing our designs on Etsy. It integrates very easily with Shopify and Etsy. Direct Ordering is very easy.
Great review - I know who I will be using in the future. Thanks!
thank you!
What does the back of the framed picture look like? What I mean is, how does the hanging mechanism look like? Additionally, does the items hold up a year later and does the shop still produce as high-quality products?
I have given away that picture so can't check the back for you. In terms of the clothes, I still have them and wear them and they look awesome! They've definitely held up well
I'm going to check out some other reviews about AS and see what they say?
You have 5 videos about the best POD company where in all 5 appear different companies. For someone who needs to offer a great service and an affordable option, which company would you suggest? Thanks.
It depends on the country. If you’re selling in the USA go for Awkward Styles. They’re awesome. If you’re in the uk go for Gelato or Printful. If your anywhere else in the world. Go for Gelato
I didn’t get it from Awkward Styles but my Cotton Heritage hoodie is my absolute favourite.
nice! yea it's fantastic quality
Hi Shimmy, Thank you for all your amazing videos. Do you have separate production companies for US and UK shipping then. Would you still use awkward styles for your UK shipping? How does it work if you use separate production companies. Do you use separate listings for each country? Would appreciate you helping a newbie 😁 NB I'm from the UK
I wouldn't use Awkward Styles for the UK. shipping would take too long. You could have separate listings, separate shops... I just try and focus mainly on the US as it's a much bigger market
@@shimmymorris1 Thanks for your advice Shimmy
Hey shimmy..love your videos:) I live in uk and I’d love to sell in uk and us too..I’m a bit confused on how to set up different pod websites to your Etsy or shopify. When someone’s buy an item, how do I make sure that a uk customer will get the item delivered from a uk pod site? Not sure the question make sense..I’m very new in this pod world, I’m trying to understand 😅
The only con I have with them is that they don’t allow you to use your OWN designs on the beanies, you gotta use THEIR colors instead.
I wanna be able to put my own design all over the hat and not just use what they offer…it sucks for that reason alone.
that's annoying. If you reach out to them you never know. They listen to their audience
Yeah it is, I reached out but they didn’t respond yet.
Great Vid Shimmy! Is the Champion logo on the arm like a little patch sewn on? is this the stitching of good quality?
Yes and yes. Couldn’t fault it
Never heard of this company. Thank you. And your niece 💖
ye me neither! Such an awesome company
Great video Shimmy. I work with them and quality is amazing
awesome! Thanks so much for watching :D I kinda want to order more stuff just for me and replace what I have haha
I'm really looking forward to your T-pop review. I'm soon to order a test sample from them 🙂
they're on the list, need to get to them asap
thanks bro i am definitely going to start POD again
nice!!! good luck
This is great Shimmy!! Thanks for sharing and always keeping us informed. Also, Happy Birthday🎂to your niece!!🦄
Thanks so much !
This is so very helpful. Thank you. Blessings.
thank you so much!! really appreciate it
Thank you, I have never heard of awkward styles! I’m going to jump on it right away 🙏 hoping to get more profit
nice! good luck
Used Champion brand since I was a child: my mother Bought for me mainly two brands for t-shirts at the time: Fruit of the Loom and Champion.
Great product indeed and totally agree with you in offering premium quality apparels!
nice! I really like the champion stuff!
I’m curious about the cotton heritage brand. I personally love Bella canvas for myself. I do not care for heavy tops 9 months out of the year where I live. Thanks for the review!
It seems to be really really good! I hadn't heard of it before
@@shimmymorris1 neither had I
love it. Thank you for sharing. I might use this co
Definitely try them out
Does anyone know a print on demand company that carries BAW athletic brand? Thank you!
I would love to really learn how to actually start a print on demand business from next to nothing in budget. what would you advise or do.? loving the videos seriously enjoying the the videos.
I have a video coming out about this. Hopefully it helps you! Thank you!!
Hey man, idk if you see this but would you recommend Hugepod or Awkward styles at this time? Or a different one?
I’d recommend awkward styles any day
@@shimmymorris1 thanks man! Really curious how it will work out. One more question: how much does it usually cost to make a sale with ads?
@@larsvandewouw55 it's impossible to say, it's different everytime. there's no set number
You should do a video on how to change print company for your listing and still keep all the seo juice! Right now all my listing are printed by printful and i wanna try a new company
interesting idea!
Your niece is so precious
aww thank you
love the video but im absolutely gonna need some chapters or something pls
thanks! i don't know why i thought i added them
Your niece is adorbs!
aw thanks so much!!
Damn bro make up your mind lmao I can’t keep signing up for new on demand print companies! This my 3rd one in 2 days! 😂
Hahaha
I keep trying new ones! Lol I want to eventually test them all. This one is the best quality so far though. So I can imagine them staying on top for a while
Excellent review!!!
thank you!!
Great Review!
thank you!
Your amazing this has helped so much x
thanks so much! i'm so glad
personally i think it's pretty bad i've tried many different images for shirts and they all say low resolution when you make the photo a dcent size
Hmm have you got these shirts in person to see them?
OMG, she is adorable
aw thank you!
But do they let you private label. Your logo on tags and packaging?
from what it looks i don't think you can.
Great video. Thanks for this. I’ve been thinking of starting a new POD business for my art but was fumbling on who to start with. With Awkward Styles as my 1st… who else do you recommend as, say… a top 10 list?
It's hard to say. So many print on demand platforms are absolutely terrible when it comes to quality. At the moment, I'd say Awkward Styles, maybe gelato and maybe printful. But I have a video coming out on this as it's getting ridiculous
@@shimmymorris1 Oh! That's great. I'll keep an eye out for it. Looking forward to seeing it. Happy Holidays!
Your niece is adorable! 🥰
Thank you!! 😊
SPOD is much cheaper too. SPOD has the Customizer, and also has an option put your design and theirs on whatever product they choose (eliminating the tedious one-by-one application).
With SPOD, no worries on mindless stock image penalties. Also, you can do an app for your store(s).
🙈🙉🙊😻🔥🤜🤛🤝💯
Plus, about 95% of orders are undergone within 48 hours. That's one of the quickest of the industry! ;3
i'll try SPOD out.. they sound cool
do they have champion though
HI,
Awkward Styles Is it a company that has its own machinery for printing t-shirts and other products, or does it have everything printed by others? Thanks.
They print themselves
Hi Shimmy!, many thanks for your videos, really helpful :) I'm a very beginner in POD and full of doubts, in this case, just a quick one, if customer is in UK or in US, mainly, is there any way to set on my Etsy store where the t-shirt order should be sent to print? basically for saving delivery/shipping cost and time, I'm in UK, thanks so much!
it should be automatic based on where they live. the pod company will use the most local printing partner they have
I love Cotton Heritage but I don't think a POD UK company sells it. I find working out costs and a sale price difficult because of extra taxes and extra shipping costs
hmm, yea, TBH selling in America will give much better returns anyway so may as well
this rewiew is one year old, stil your favorite? do they beat hugepod?
nope, currently using printify
Question: Shimmy, when you call something a sweater, is that what is called a sweatshirt in the US or is it a knit type of product? Is it the kind of thing you would wear in a gym or what you'd wear out to dinner?
In the uk a sweater is like a hoodie without the hood. Like a jumper.
And the dinner sweater is a cardigan
"Britain and America are two countries separated by a common language" -Shaw
@@shimmymorris1 LOL describing it as a jumper isn't helping because in the US a jumper is something completely different. 😂 PS Thanks for the great video!
@@ComedorDelrico Jumper aka overalls...lol
@@fpvsmurf Yeah, or in the US, a jumper can even be a dress that little girls wear that goes over a shirt . . . like overalls but with a skirt instead of pant-legs. A sweater is a top knitted out of yarn, a sweatshirt is a long sleeve top made from a cotton/poly blend fleece-backed jersey fabric (not to be confused with a fleece - which is totally different), and a hoodie is a sweatshirt with a hood. And a cardigan is a sweater that opens in the front like a jacket. 😂
Very helpful video
Thank you
So nice of you
Hi, could anyone answer this question please. Im in uk using Printify + Etsy Can I sell in USA only to USA using Printify Stateside, how do I do that? Can I put in personalized product to be made in USA to be only sold to USA therefore avoiding massive shipping cost?
if someone in the US buys a product printify should know and use a US supplier
@@shimmymorris1 yay I hoped so but could not find any verbage or info on this topic Thank you :)
Thanks for sharing this. But heads up, your referral link is not completely linked. Only the website.
thanks! that's ok :D
Hey there Shimmy, I'm really enjoying your informative content.
I really like what you've said about this and I'm definitely thinking about using Awkward Styles.
That being said, is this an ad?
I noticed that you are on their website as part of their "Master Class" series.
I'd like to believe you are just over the moon about the quality of product and aren't being paid to say this but I'd appreciate if you can put that in writing.
It would be excellent to know that you continue to be subjective in your reviews.
Cheers!
Money or not, i never let it sway my judgement. Someone can't pay me to say something I don't want to say, they can however, pay me to give them some time, if a bad review comes out of that time, so be it, if a good reviews comes out of it, so be it. I've done a ton of company reviews like this, some are bad, some are good.
Awkward styles was genuinely good and a nice company to deal with. The Master Class series came way after this video, they pitched the idea to me and I said sure, I didn't get paid for that. I just thought it would be a good idea to spread my message.
I'm on a few print on demand sites as I believe there isn't one all powering site, there are many with many different qualities.
@@shimmymorris1 Thanks so much for the clarification.
I honestly thought this was the case but it feels better coming from the horse's mouth.
Thanks for doing what you do!
You've helped a lot of us.
Have a great day.
Thank you Shimmy! If we choose Champion are we able to put Champion Sweatshirt/shirt etc. in our tags and titles?
that's a good question. I'm not sure to be honest, because technically you should be able to but I don't know if it'll trigger something in the algorithm and flag it up
Thanks souch for the video! For those tshirts did you fill the all of the available space in the mockup generator? Is that as wide as awkward styles can go? Thanks again
no, I just used what space i wanted to make the design look good. I could've made it a little bigger but it would look odd
@@shimmymorris1 ah got it, thank you! It says the max is 12 inches, is that the true size as it will be on the shirt?
@@Thyronix i've never done a full design but that does make sense
@@shimmymorris1 ok I thought so haha, just making sure! Thanks again!
OMG 😆 that cutie 🥰 pie 🥧 got me 🙃💖Her pink bow 🙇♀️ perfect. Oh yes 👍🏼 your review stellar ⭐️
thanks
when you click the upload button on the awkward styles website does it publish it live on ETSY or just goes on a listing then you can publish manually. I am asking because I want to see if I can enable multiple listings via SKU's?
I am going to do a full etsy and awkward styles set up tutorial. Similar to my Printful one
Great video review. I have been looking for better quality POD clothing.
nice!!!! Thanks
Did you ironed those before you put them into wash?
no...
Wow! Very good news!
Glad you think so
How was the sizing? I watched another review of this company that said the sizes were inconsistent, and the sweatshirt/hoodie looked a little short when you tried it on. But, I love a super soft hoodie, so I'm definitely going to look into this company for my Etsy shop. Thanks!
Oh i also watched mey’s video but those two products are off the shoulder for ladies so its normal to size up. these are different though, i use awkward styles for bella, gildan and champion and havent had any problems
I didn't think the sizes were off, everything I got was a medium and it felt right. Nothing was too tight or too baggy.
Awkward uses blank garments from different brands and has nothing to do with sizing. They are a print and decorating service. They have the brand names and product numbers listed. Just go to the manufactures website for the sizing guides.
This guy is not very honest with his subscriber's, it's all about the affiliate commission's for him. Do your own research first. Affiliate marketers are some of the worse.
@@dwightperry9811 erm... ok then. The affiliate commission for this video has so far made less than $100 bucks... if you think i go through the 80 hours of effort planning and making a video like this just for that little affiliate commission, then you really don't know me
how about fulfillment? does apliiq cut the shipping and printing costs from the price my costumer payed for my product ?
I haven't used Apliiq yet so can't comment on this
How was the print quality on the tote bag?
it was ok, tote bags are always an odd one. I wouldn't say the quality was amazing, but it certainly wasn't bad
Question this is probably dumb but do you have to have a store already to sell through them or can you set up a shop with them?
You can set up a store with them from scratch if you want
But isn't there a problem if I sell Champion Clothing with my design on it?
no this is fine.
I’ve used awkward styles a few times and unfortunately I’ve had horrible fading and not long life out of the print (3washes and it’s faded and cracking )
aw no that's such a shame. i haven't experienced that at all
@@shimmymorris1 they only have DTG right ? So I’m not picking a weird option or something lol. Or is there a “best” option for clothing ? I tried the tri-blend shirts…
@@glenndobson8701 I don't think there's a best option, sometimes you can get unlucky with the printing
That sucks! :( I've used them for a few months, haven't had any issues after washing my samples and havent heard anything from customers, fortunately. I use 100% cotton tshirts since they do better with dtg in my experience
I was wondering how they have held up now that it has been a few months since you first washed them?
awesome!!! I've washed and used them a lot!
What about the HugePOD video that you made on... Now I'm slightly confused with when you always say "This is the best POD I've ever seen". Which one is it exactly tho?
Well it’s a tough one. Because at the time of reviewing hugepod I had never tried awkward styles. But without a doubt awkward styles has better quality. Better shipping and better printing!
@@shimmymorris1 Ah I see. What about when it comes to pricing? Also yesterday they launched many things new
@@shimmymorris1 What about people complaining about staining on t-shirts from their pre-treatments? Have they resolved that problem?
