At Spreadshop, we continually monitor carrier rates to ensure we provide transparent, reliable fulfillment to our customers. Unfortunately, with recent industry-wide increases from shipping providers, we’re making a slight adjustment to our shipping prices.
What This Means for You
Effective immediately, all orders will reflect updated shipping costs. These changes are slight but help us maintain quality service. You can see the new rates directly on your Spreadshop’s Help & Shipping Costs page or during checkout—ensuring full transparency before purchase.

Why Shipping Costs Matter
-
Print‑on‑demand business model: Each item is printed to order, avoiding unnecessary waste, but shipping remains a primary cost.
-
Carrier volatility: Shipping providers often raise or lower rates without warning. Our adjustments ensure we keep pace responsibly.
-
Transparency with creators: You — the shop owners — are kept in the loop. We never include hidden fees.

How differece with the Printful shipping costs? I know they lowered their shipping price. I was thinking to move to Spreadshirt but I’m not sure now.
