Does Printify Ship Internationally?

To understand how international shipping affects profit margins, read POD Profit Margins Explained. For official details on shipping tiers and speeds, see Printify Shipping Options.

Which Countries Are Supported?

Printify’s network of print providers can ship to nearly every country in the world, with a few exceptions. Restricted regions include:

• Russia
• Belarus
• Ukraine
• North Korea

Some providers may also impose temporary restrictions on certain countries during logistics disruptions or conflicts. Always confirm availability in Printify’s official country list.

Order Routing & Global Fulfillment

Printify’s global shipping network relies on two systems to deliver international orders efficiently: Order Routing and Global Fulfillment.

Order Routing

When Order Routing is enabled, Printify automatically assigns your orders to the print provider nearest the customer. This minimizes shipping distance and cost while maintaining availability. For example, if a customer in Germany buys from your store, the system will route to a European provider instead of shipping from the U.S. when possible. Printify Help: Selling Internationally

Printify Choice Global Fulfillment

The Choice Global Fulfillment program allows Printify to offer local fulfillment for eligible products in the U.S., Canada, U.K., E.U., and Australia/New Zealand. This means customers can often see local shipping rates and receive faster delivery for qualifying items. However, not all variants are supported—non-eligible items revert to standard international shipping. Printify Help: Global Fulfillment

Expected International Shipping Times

Shipping times for international orders vary depending on provider location, shipping tier, and customs clearance. Printify notes that delivery can range from 2 days to 4 weeks based on these factors. Typical community reports suggest 7–30 business days for most regions.

To keep customers happy, many merchants quote a conservative delivery estimate of 3–4 weeks for international orders.

Typical Shipping Costs & Rates

Printify provides detailed, provider-specific shipping rates. For example, Print Logistic (Poland) lists:

• Domestic (Poland): 2–5 business days, first item ~$4.79
• Germany: 2–5 business days, ~$4.79
• Rest of Europe: up to 10 business days, ~$7.49
• International: 10–30 business days, ~$9.99

Rates vary across providers and may increase for remote or less serviced regions. Always check your selected provider’s shipping rate page before listing products internationally.

Customs, Duties & Taxes

When orders cross borders, customs authorities may impose import duties or taxes. These can delay deliveries and add unexpected costs if not properly disclosed.

Typically, the buyer pays import duties unless you configure Delivered Duties Paid (DDP) shipping. Be transparent with your customers about who covers these costs to prevent disputes.

Printify’s Global Fulfillment system helps minimize customs exposure by routing to local providers when available, but sellers should still verify tax rules in target markets (EU VAT, U.K. VAT, GST in Australia, etc.).

Restrictions & Exceptions

• Restricted countries: Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and North Korea.
• Some print providers may not support all countries despite Printify’s general coverage.
• Fallback routing can cause longer delivery times if local providers are unavailable.
• Not all product variants qualify for Global Fulfillment or local shipping discounts.

Tips for Better International Shipping

• Select print providers based in or near your major customer markets (U.S., E.U., Asia-Pacific).
• Enable Order Routing and Global Fulfillment for faster local delivery.
• Exclude unreliable or slow-shipping providers from your listings.
• Provide realistic timelines (2–4 weeks) for international customers.
• Be upfront about import taxes and who is responsible for them.
• Monitor Printify’s network updates for regional shipping suspensions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Printify handle customs or duties automatically?

No. Duties and taxes are usually the customer’s responsibility unless you enable DDP or similar configurations in your store settings.

Will Global Fulfillment always use a local provider?

Only if a local provider is available and the product variant is supported. If not, the order falls back to standard international routing.

Is international shipping reliable?

Generally yes, but times vary. Delivery depends on the provider’s region, logistics networks, and customs processes. Expect 7–30 business days for most orders.
