Tremendously excellent customer service

Tremendously excellent customer service experience. I haven't had this kind of support in so long. I really appreciate the help Bartosz from support gave me. I was incredibly frustrated going into this experience, but he identified the problem and solved it and offered me a remedy for the issue. This kind of service is incredibly rare nowadays. Thanks again!

Stuck in an automated loop – Zero support for non-delivered orders

Extremely disappointed with Gelato’s logistics and current support "system." I have two orders (G-260102130219 and G-260408132206) stuck in transit in Germany since January and April.

I was previously contacted by a person from their NPS team (Agata) who promised high standards and improvements, but now that the issues have recurred, it’s impossible to get a reply. Every email is met with an automated "case closed" response from their AI bot, Scoop.

It is unacceptable to close down human support channels when you have significant delivery failures. I am still waiting for my refunds. Gelato, please stop hiding behind bots and fix this.

Update 2026-04-28: Fast respond through direct e-mail contact - Gelato resolved the issue with refound and a free order. Thanks a lot for your support. Hopefully, the order will arrive this time. Thanks.

Major Concerns Regarding Hygiene, Fabric Integrity, and Logistics

The condition of both the packaging and the item itself is completely unacceptable. The T-shirt was packaged in poor tissue paper, which arrived entirely damaged. Furthermore, the garment is visibly soiled and emits a strong, pungent odour that I suspect to be an illegal substance. In the past, Gelato maintained professional standards by delivering T-shirts inside sealed plastic bags and sturdy cardboard boxes. However, for my last two orders, the products arrived poorly protected in nothing but paper. And I have strong suspicions that my last two T-shirt orders do not match the product description. As a result, it is no longer viable for me to work with Gelato or maintain you as a supplier for my Etsy and eBay stores.

Reply from Gelato - production on demand for global creators

Hi there,

Thank you for sharing your feedback about the ordering experience. I'm sorry that we did not meet your expectations.

The packaging of your orders reflects our efforts to minimize waste. Individual garments are therefore typically shipped in standard plastic or kraft paper bags. Larger orders are shipped in sturdy cardboard boxes.

The garments may have a slight odor due to the DTG printing process. A fixing agent ensures that the ink adheres to the fabric. The odor may be somewhat unpleasant at first, but it will disappear after the first wash. We always recommend washing the garments before wearing them for the first time.

We have contacted you via e-mail with additional information - we would love to change your mind about the review.

Looking forward to your reply.

Best regards,
Andrzej

Gelato is so easy to use

Gelato is so easy to use. Especially great for posters and wall art. I love that you can personalize items and so can your customers. The items that I ordered were beautiful clean clear and crisp and I printed on multiple popular products, and the shipping faster than I expected. love that it's streamlined with popular products and not too many products which can be overwhelming and means they have more quality control over their vendors. I never had a problem with any of their printing within my business, and they have great customers support.

Poor Customer Service & Unresolved…

Poor Customer Service & Unresolved Charges

I’ve had a really frustrating experience with Gelato and their support team.

My issue is straightforward: I was repeatedly charged a digitisation fee for a product I had already paid to have digitised. I made it clear multiple times that I was using the same design, with no changes to size or placement, yet I was still being charged again and again.

Initially, I requested to speak to a human agent, and while I did eventually get a response, the explanations I received didn’t resolve the issue. I was told it could be due to size or colour differences, but even after carefully matching the exact specifications and providing evidence/screenshots, the problem continued.

I followed up several times with additional details and proof that the sizes were identical, but since then I’ve had no meaningful response. It has now been over 3 days without any reply, and the issue remains completely unresolved.

As someone new to the platform, this has been a really poor first impression. I was trying to sort out basic setup issues before launching a store, but instead I’ve been left stuck, and ignored.

Customer support responsiveness and problem resolution are critical for a service like this, and unfortunately Gelato has fallen well short on both.

I wouldn’t recommend relying on this platform unless support improves significantly.

I have contacted you internally to explain how digitization works and to share more details about the available options.

We're developing some improvements, so we really appreciate your feedback and I hope we can improve your experience.

We're looking forward to your reply.
