- Hey everyone, welcome to my channel, I'm Mey :)
In today's video I would like to share with you guys a print on demand product review for a full duvet cover set from one of the cheapest print on demand websites- Yoycol.
Yoycol is a Chinese based cheap print on demand supplier that has a large variety of products, including full print on demand duvet cover sets that are super affordable, even after shipping. Most print on demand items on Yoycol would cost you a third, or even a quarter of the cost you'll pay for major print on demand providers- such as Printful, or RedBubble.

I've started using Yoycol or have been wanting to do so because the product selection is awesome and the prices are great. Granted when you add in shipping it is no longer that cheap but still most acceptable. I LOVE their mockup generator, it's truly the best I've come across. I've ordered sample items and have had issues with quality control which they have refunded. My 20 baseball caps were stuffed into a small box and they were all creased and unusable but I'm awaiting my replacement caps. I know the person responsible for packaging got alerted/reprimanded about what happened and I'm pretty certain henceforth Yoycol will be more careful. For the initial two baseball cap samples I received, the all-over print and cap quality was just awesome. Can't wait to have them in my store. Other product samples I've received their quality and the sewing are really good. Yet, I too am concerned with potential customer complaints. The fact is they are still a young company but what I think is their biggest issue is that they are just expanding too fast. They need to stop, perfect their system, and iron out all those technical/computer/language issues first. I think a lot of their problems are Ai-related-glitches with their complex computer programs. That said, I have had no significant complaints about their customer support. My only complaint is that they aren't available to chat over the weekend and as per government regulations, they do shut down for days at a time for various state holidays throughout the year. In our shops, we must convey/emphasize to our customers the reality of shipping times and as you said Mey, encourage people to plan ahead when ordering. Even though I've had several sample issues, I'm still looking forward to having some of their products in my new shop. I'm quite certain they do listen to their customers and do make the changes as they are able. I believe it is Yoycol implemented all those improvements in their system that causes all those glitches. My friend is a computer programmer and I understand the complexity of a website/business such as theirs.
I’ve been looking into Yoycol as they offer unique products that I just haven’t seen from other POD companies. Your review gave me a more realistic view on what having them as a fulfillment partner would be like at this current stage. I do really appreciate the fact that they have evolved so quickly and hope they they can reach a stage where it would be easier to communicate with them and solve any issues that may arise. Thank you for sharing this.
They do have so many amazing and unique products that it's mind blowing! And I think that if I were to open a shop in which I keep stock myself- I would probably be using them . I just don't like the idea of their horrible generic Ali Express packaging- for print on demand. I feel like it would never be presentable enough for me.
You’re so natural, I love your candidness :) Having said that, I’ve been in business for many years and I totally understand your dilemma because good quality is always hard to find + if you say it’s good, I know it is which like you said makes it very difficult to kill the pull… BUT your video conveyed a very clear message and that’s the one that reminds us of how crucial client service is and always will be if not more important than the price itself…Unfortunately we usually realize it only when we have an issue… 🙂I think you found the solution when you said, people should maybe order for themselves or simple
gifts so they can deal with the headache personally (should it occur) instead of having to deal with clients over n over again if doing business with them while the people you need answers from, hardly understand or listen for that matter….The efforts they make may be commendable but obviously, the lingo and terms of the North American and/or Europe continent are lacking and to me, that’s a huge problem…🤦🏻♀️ Big headache if you ask me.. My opinion/solution ahah! on this company, Is consistency like maybe doing business with them for a little while on a small scale to see if consistency and constancy
are both predictable and by then maybe they’ll have changed up a few things and hired people who actually answer questions that they’ve listened to and have a little more congruency and therefore be much better and ready to work with…A very valuable and “great to know” video today (👌🏼) Thank you for that. :) you actually answered a few question I had and I’m grateful for the extra knowledge. I will definitely order for me personally and maybe share my experience in a comment when I do…If you’re curious ahah!! In the meantime, I’ll keep
watching. PS: those prices are insane!!!
Hey beautiful! Thank you for doing this review as it was me who asked if you had heard of them. I too am conflicted about using them because of exactly everything that you have stated with strange communication, emoji's and incorrect production info. I did give them the benefit of doubt as when I placed my order it was during the extreme lock down in Shanghai... It is just that their prices are so good. I have been looking for a POD company that does cotton clothing and was happy with what I got from them. I was going to integrate them to my website, but to be honest I don't trust them dealing directly with my customers. I think using them to buy my own stock and checking orders myself is a better bet... Thanks again for your review and looking forward to seeing the other products you got! Xxx
Sorry for only getting back to comments now, it has been 1 crazy month !! BUT- awesome to see it was you., you made me wanna check them out even after all the crazy time they've put me through. Their prices are indeed amazing, but yeah- can be a bit hard to trust them as a fulfillment partner with all that's been going on in China (and the world)
Using them to buy your own stock is an amazing idea, I literally commented above you that if I was looking to do that now- I would use them. Then you can really go nuts with branded packages and make your own exclusive brand, as well as contact them for discounts with volume orders.
This looks great , can’t wait to order some bed items
They are also very comfortable and nice to the touch, and the color and pattern stayed the same after washing machine :)
I have ordered a few items over the last couple of weeks for myself and am looking forward to seeing the results. I had to ask a couple of questions and got polite replies and one apology when they didn’t back to me for a number of hours. Their prices are very good so will be good to see the items. I am an avid Pattern/ Art Designer but don’t have an active online store so don’t have to be concerned about customers at this stage or postage times.
Only getting to comments on this post now, sorry for that. But hey- time went by- how was your experience? How were the items ?
I only use art of where for duvet covers. They are really slow but the the product is really nice, 100% cotton sateen.
art of where is a pure nightmare to deal with
Mey, you are so wonderfully FAAAAAAABULOUS !!!! I recently discovered your TH-cam Channel, and I will be watching you every chance I get. Stay wonderful, Mey.
You can address me directly
@@MeyTribe Hi, Mey. I'm about to update the comment I made about you.
As someone who gets anxious at even the smallest customer support issue, I personally won't use a supplier who is difficult to work with. I think that using them to print gifts, etc. is your safest option. Just my opinion.
I also am deeply conflicted about them as well, for the same reasons. Hopefully they will advance the communication and shipping issues. But I also feel like I will use them for my personal attire, or for family or friends.
Can you create a video of setup etsy shop with awkwardstyles full seting etsy profile , shipping profile .... ,Full etsy awkwardstyles tutorial from scratch , please 🙏
Coming up in August. I had to sort some things out first. However it's the same process as with any Print on demand supplier, and fairly automatic, you can try it yourelf- just follow their integration steps (if you don't wanna wait till August)
Oh geez! I was like oh that's amazing POD bedding for cheap... but I'm with you I wouldn't do business with them. I personally would constantly stressed out that people aren't getting their orders with that system. Then add in the language barrier, ugh no just too much. I just see that could be extremely stressful...and kill your business.
Buiseness is buiseness
Customer service important
So this bad company
You want me to tell what to do . I would not let you costumers buy directly fom Yoycol untill they fixed the fulfillment issues . Untill then I have to take a chance and would buy the stock meself and then put it up for sale once I have the product and if it looks good then put it it the store . Like they did before print on demand
I think it's awesome the option to buy your own stock !! You get to mix and match between products, get branded boxes or packaging...
I wanna do that in 2024 after I find a place to live permanently so I can hold the stock LOL
I order a mens shirt from them Last week .Thats 8 months after this video, as a test . I will see if they cleaned up their act any
Well, I hope you get your shirt OK. I am not sure you'll be seeing them change their "act" by an order. my issues with them were the personal harassment and communications problems. I had no issues with just making an order.
Hey there Mey,
Great thorough and honest insight into another supplier.
Completely off-topic but who supplied your sweatshirt? I love the open neckline and am wondering if you ordered it that way or you cut the ribbing off?
(I told you it was off-topic 🤣)
Mon xx
No worries about the "off topic"- it is a print on demand video and I was wearing a print on demand sweatshirt LOL
It's from Printful, was covered in this video :
th-cam.com/video/IR_s7dRbj5E/w-d-xo.html
I actually didn't like it at first. I cut off the collar myself, I do that with almost everything I buy LOL and the wrist area was SOOOO tight so I actually put a big bowl inside it to make it expand
That is unfortunate, because the items are very nice and I would love to try them out.
Their items, mostly, are amazing. And if you wanna do your own test with them- try it. Maybe for you it'll work! People commented I should have asked for support on their FB group and there they speak English (didn't do it at the time since I never knew they had one LOL)
Wow, the quality and price sounds amazing...but...as you say, is the worry about customer service worth it? I think this will be a great company to order products for myself and family but probably not so great as a product supplier for paying customers. Such a shame POD wise, but good for personal use. :)
It looks like what i have been looking for a compainy with cheap goods , a large inventory , AND ON MONEY UP FRONT , but they need time to work out the bugs becaur right now they sound as reliable as Chinese 3d printers 😄😄😄😄
They are making a good product, and if I were to stay in Bansko, I would probably order a stock of that from them to sell. But yeah, i wouldn't trust them beyond that.
Daniel on their Facebook group speaks 95% fluent English and is always helpful to me. Never use their support messenger they don't speak English very good at all. I wonder if Suppliers like printful or printify who use Chinese for their all over print send the items to their own stateside wearhouse and repackage them without the Chinese label.
I didn't know they had a Facebook group, and even if I did, I doubt I would publish order details on a group asking questions- when there's a chat.
So far from what I've seen of Printful and printify- nothing came from China. Everything I order from printful is coming within days after being made in latvia.
Hi Mey, thanks for your review, I also ordered bedding from them, I am still waiting, it took a long time to get to Israel, and now that I hear what you are saying, I am thinking whether to work with them, or not on Etsy.
The last few days, I had a few questions to them, I used chat, and the answers were really quick, and yet, it's different when you order for yourself or for customers. Hesitant.
I have a question to you, do the duvet cover has loops inside to attach to the comforter insert? Thanks🌸
I remember feeling so frustrated in Israel waiting for packages, now in Bulgaria if I manage to order from within the EU it's so much faster and easier.
I think that buyers on Etsy have come to expect a shopping-experience, a nice package, a note inside... Def not something that this supplier can give you with their generic Chinese "ali express" packaging.
Not sure about loops, I mean- you place the duvet inside the duvet cover
או בעברית אם יותר נוח להסביר, זה ציפית של שמיכת פוך
@@MeyTribe Thanks for your quick reply, I've already been through some of your videos - you're great!
I mean the threads that tie the cover to the blanket that you put inside (so that the blanket does not move inside)
לולאות לקשירה של הציפה לשמיכה
Have a wonderful day
@@MeyTribe The mail in Israel - is a nightmare, , even though I paid for fast delivery
I am surprised the quality was that good at that price . You would think that it would fall apart after the first time you washed it .
I still have these !!!!!!
I washed them many times, and they are still awesome !
That's super sad and disappointing. I don't think I'd be able to use them as a supplier, which is not a happy occasion. Maybe they will gain momentum in the future but it's been a year since they first contacted you and even if they did get better that could mean prices going up. Thank you for the connection though! Great for personal items and gifts for friends and relatives! Your videos are spot on, really enjoy your channel😁❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Has there been any updates re your decision to work with them or not
Well, I think I kinda forgot about them a bit, given that their initial harassment of me was just so exhausting. I still have more items from them here to review, though i never seem to get to it.
Did you have to apy any customs or taxes when you received your order?
Pay
I would stick to custom gifts for family and friends or even yourself but would not use this company for your business. It would be a constant headache and very stressful. I already put too much time and effort into customer service and this would create more work for you. If you did have problems arise, and you calculated your time and earnings, I would think you would probably be making less per hour worked than with other providers. Even if this is not the case, a few extra dollars does not replace peace of mind. My peace is priceless 😌
I would steer clear
Its not funny but its funny You're SOOOOOO pretty 😀😀😀😀
Thank you LOL
Your story with them is funny and hilarious , i enjoyed watching this
I'm also very tempted to work with them
it's hilarious
How great and competitive yet how unprofessional they are at the same time , it's just so funny
And weird
If you thought this was funny... in the next few weeks there will be a product review of another Chinese supplier... with - 70% amazing quality products, 30% less... and a cockroach inside the package !!!!
@@MeyTribe I have a feeling that yoycol is going to improve their technical issues and it going to be much better
In the future
If you have noticed their website recently they are heavily investing into their platform
Their 3d mock-up generator
And automatic ai design generation is just crazy
It’s still very funny
How they beat other companies on the most difficult parts and yet lack the basics as you described here
Not sure if they’re still as you described as your video is for a year ago and their platform seem to be very professional and well rounded atm
@@MeyTribedon’t tell me they’re “thisnew” because I want to work with them
you was spammed they are not part of the company, my advise is to go onto the site because i have researched this company also and there is another company that is using them. But find out what language they use and try to give them your full concerns most likely they are using a bad translator
who is the second company using them? :)
I fully understand the issue with chatting to them, but I have noticed that they use auto translators when they type in their own normal language. So many times these translators don't translate 100% accurately.
If I were going to open a business and my target audience was China, or any nation, I would hire a consultants or experts in that culture. Even if I were fluent in that language I would consider hiring native speakers.
Yeah, but my target audience is not China... It's a POD company to sell to other countries- that's why maybe they should have hired English speaking people...
@@MeyTribe oh, I know!!! I meant if I were them, not you. 😁
That's what they need to do....
Haha! Sounds like you're lost in translation.
They are probably using Google translate to write to you in English and then putting your English response into Google translate to Mandarin.
The turn of phrase, expressions and certain words are not being translated with the proper meaning. Some words have double meaning and Google is not using context to choose the correct translation which is why it sounds ridiculous sometimes.
When I was selling on Amazon there was a guy in our Amazon facebook group who was buying from sellers on Alibaba and he was having the same problem.
There are people in China who are perfectly bilingual that you can hire to represent you at the factories and they will do translation for you aswell as supervise production. It's a whole service industry, actually.
That guy said it made all the difference when he hired a representative.
You would need to Google for finding Chinese manufacturing representative for foreign business.... or even Chinese representative for Amazon sellers / Alibaba wholesale buyers. They don't ONLY help Amazon sellers, but it's just good keywords to find such people.
nope. just not worth it. not if you want to have any kind of professional communications with your own clients. disaster.
Yes you are definitely overreacting.
If you think being constantly harassed by a company for you will not have this reaction - that's cool. we are different people, and I think I kinda downplayed how much they have harassed me...
