I have had endless hassle

I have had endless hassle with this company.
From uploading my art in the right formatting without losing colour or quality (despite it being fine anywhere else) to actually getting prints to customers.
Integration of products was not simple at times, but the main thing is the stock of frames was out and absolutely not updated on the site or through my store even though it was set to automatically update
The customer service email did not work but was still listed as a point of contact, you have to go through AI chatbots.
During the creation and order process, I got nonsensical error messages, or ones too vague to work out what was wrong without speaking to someone who could see the issues on their side

I listed numerous prints with frames for sale, assuming that since I could list them and there were no error messages it's fine. Finding the stock availability is very difficult and at times wrong. The site gave different availability to the representative I eventually spoke to. The page on how to check availability said it was updated weekly but had not been updated since September 2025.
Finally, after weeks of trying to find out what the vague error messages meant, manually checking if stock was in and failed payments leading to hundreds of pounds of refunds and lost revenue I removed all my products. I am using a different service. I have not received any reply from customer services about my issues.

Hi Sophie,

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your experience. We’re very sorry to hear about the difficulties you encountered with artwork uploads, product integration, frame availability, and unclear error messages during the order process. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating it must have been - especially when it affected your store operations. Your comments regarding stock visibility, outdated availability information, and contact options are particularly valuable and will be shared with the relevant teams for review. We continuously work to improve the platform and support experience, and feedback like yours helps highlight areas where we need to do better.

We’ve reached out to you directly by email so we can review the situation in more detail and assist you further.

I've used a few different POD companies…

I've used a few different POD companies connected to my Etsy shop and Gelato really feels elevated in terms of quality and customer service, as well as typically being lower cost for me than Printify and having a simplified worldwide routing system so I can offer global sales without worrying about shipping being too much, or having to find a new provider in that region like I did on Printify. I was almost ready to give up I was having so many issues with Printify (misprints, severe delays, etc), but since switching to Gelato everything is so much easier, and I haven't had any issues with them.

Order Tracking and Status Clarification

Update:
I initially raised a concern regarding an order and some order status information in the dashboard.

Andrzej from Gelato’s support team later clarified the situation and explained some limitations related to tracking information and older order statuses in the system. I also acknowledge that I noticed some of these issues much later, which is partly my own oversight.

As a small shop owner, I rely on accurate order status and tracking information to support my customers. I appreciate the clarification from Andrzej and the Gelato support team and hope their system continues to improve for merchants.

Hi Harold,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, I'm sorry for any confusion regarding the order status.

I would like to clarify that the order you are referring to, was placed in February 2025 - that's why the tracking details are no longer available. We ask to report any issues within 30 days of receipt/expected delivery date, exactly due to this - it is harder to understand what happened after the tracking disappears from the shipper website.

Regarding orders from 2022/2023, at this time, the "Shipped" status was the last update we'd provide - delivery details were available in the tracking link. In Transit/Delivered statuses were introduced in 2024.

I followed up with you via e-mail with more details, so please get back to us there if you have more questions.

Best regards,
Andrzej

garbage customer service

In October 2025, my Gelato subscription was accidentally charged twice. I contacted customer support and they acknowledged the duplicated charge and issued a refund. Because of that duplicated billing, my subscription period was still valid until approximately September 2026. I also deactivated the renewal since I was no longer interested in continuing the service.

However, something extremely concerning happened with my account.

On March 4, after placing an order, I logged back into my account to check the order status and discovered that my account had been completely deleted. My entire order history and account data were gone.

When I contacted customer support, they claimed that I deleted my own account, and because it had been over 15 days, they said it could not be recovered.

This explanation makes absolutely no sense.

First, I did not delete my account. I would have no reason to delete it immediately after placing an order. I’m not even aware of how to delete a Gelato account manually.

Second, even though I disabled auto-renewal, my subscription period was still active until around September 2026 due to the earlier duplicated charge. There was absolutely no reason for me to remove the account.

Instead of actually investigating what happened, customer support simply assumed that I deleted the account myself. It feels like no one even checked the account logs to see who actually triggered the deletion.

This is extremely frustrating. Losing an account and all order history without explanation is unacceptable, and the support response was dismissive rather than helpful.

Hi Ada,

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your experience with Gelato.

I'm very sorry you're experiencing issues with your account. After reviewing all available details, we haven't found any technical issues.

Only a Gelato user with admin privileges can delete an account, and yours was the only active profile on that account.

I've contacted you internally with more information, but there's no way to recover a deleted account.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know.

Best regards,
