Printify’s Print Provider Network

Printify partners with a global network of print providers. Each has its own facilities across different regions. On every product page, you can see which print providers are available and where they’re located. Production always happens in the provider’s listed region.

Because the network is geographically distributed, many orders are fulfilled locally—reducing both cost and delivery time for nearby buyers.

Order Routing & Geo Routing Explained

Order Routing and Geo Routing are Printify’s systems that automatically assign orders to the best provider based on stock, speed, and proximity. This means your order may ship from a different location than the one you initially selected if another provider offers faster or cheaper delivery.

For example, if your customer is in Germany, Printify may route the order to a European provider instead of a U.S. one to reduce customs delays and shipping time.

If your primary provider runs out of stock, Printify automatically reroutes the order to a fallback provider, which might be in another country. This flexibility ensures reliability but can change expected delivery times.

Shipping Speed Options & Times

Printify supports multiple shipping tiers, each with different speeds and costs depending on the provider and region.

These times exclude production (typically 2–5 business days). Actual delivery may vary by provider, location, and seasonal volume.

International Shipping & Restrictions

Printify ships to most countries worldwide, but some destinations are restricted for logistical or legal reasons. Current exceptions include North Korea, Russia, Belarus, and parts of Ukraine. When shipping internationally, Printify may route orders to a provider closest to the buyer’s country to minimize customs and import delays.

Buyers are generally responsible for paying import duties or VAT upon delivery. Make sure your storefront policies clearly communicate this to avoid disputes.

How to See Which Location Will Ship Your Order

While Printify doesn’t guarantee the exact facility in advance, you can preview provider locations directly from each product listing before publishing:

• Open a product in the Printify catalog and scroll to the “Print Providers” section.
• Check the “Ships from” region next to each provider’s name.
• Choose a provider near your primary customer base for faster fulfillment.
• Enable fallback providers in your product settings for extra coverage.

You can also visit Printify Shipping Rates to see provider-specific shipping origins and costs.

Real Examples by Region

U.S. Customer (East Coast)

Orders for customers on the U.S. East Coast may ship from providers in Georgia, Florida, or Texas. For instance, Monster Digital fulfills from Miami, typically delivering in 2–3 business days domestically.

European Customer

A buyer in Germany may be routed to a European provider to avoid transatlantic shipping. Average delivery time is 3–7 business days, depending on the provider’s country and carrier.

International / Remote Destinations

If there’s no local provider, Printify will use the nearest available one, such as a facility in the U.S. or Asia. Expect 10–30 business days for international transit under the Standard tier.

Tips to Minimize Shipping Time & Cost

• Pick providers closest to your main customer region (e.g., U.S. or EU).
• Enable Geo Routing to auto-select the fastest available fulfillment option.
• Keep backup providers active in case your primary one runs out of stock.
• Set clear delivery windows on your product pages—customers value transparency.
• Exclude regions with poor delivery reliability or excessive shipping costs.
• Check Printify Network Status for real-time provider updates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I choose exactly where my order ships from?

No. Printify’s system selects the fulfillment facility automatically based on product, stock, and destination. Sellers cannot manually select the specific warehouse.

Does shipping origin affect customs or VAT?

Yes. Orders shipped internationally can incur customs duties or import taxes. Domestic fulfillment usually avoids these charges entirely.

What happens if my provider is out of stock?

Your order will be rerouted to another provider (fallback) within Printify’s network. This may extend shipping time slightly but prevents order cancellation.

Why do delivery estimates sometimes vary?

Delivery can vary due to production delays, courier congestion, or rerouting during high-volume seasons. Always add a small buffer to your public delivery times.
