What do we think of Plicks.com

The website structure and layout

The website is organized and easy to navigate. There are some spelling mistakes in it but nothing too dramatic.

Customer Service and Technical Support

In our own experience (and based on the reviews of other customers) the customer service/ technical support is reliable and fast. This is pretty special considering that is such a low-cost store. 

What we think of the T-shirt Design Bundles

+ Very large selection, good quality design, very good value for money, most of them are editable and can be adapted to your needs.

– Your competitors can buy and sell the same designs. 

Our recommendation: The selection is large and covers all kind of Niche-Areas. The bundles are good value for money in terms of quantity and quality. If you are in the POD merchandize business these design bundles can help you create a large selection very quickly and increase your sales. If you customize the designs you can create hundreds of variations which creates even more value for money.

Of course, what matters most in terms of making your business a success is how you use the bundles and what you do with the time you save:

If using bundles allows you to invest more time into other areas of your business that are important to you (designing your own work, marketing, etc..), then we definitely recommend this option.

What we think of the Mockup Bundles

+ The mockups are cheap and simple to adapt to your specific needs.  You can easily add your own design, choose the T-shirt color or the background color. They come with an extended license. This means that once you buy them you can use them forever and for as many commercial or personal projects as you like. At a quick first glance the mockups look professionally done.

– If you zoom into the pictures it becomes obvious that the background, the model and the T-shirt design are photoshopped together. Many of the model-poses look unnatural and they look more like very posey normal people than professional models.  (On the other hand: A “normal person” may be just what you are looking for.)

Our recommendation:  If you are just getting started in the Print on Demand business and looking for an easy, quick and cheap way to create a professional online store then this could be the right option for you. Once you have generated some income, you may look into doing your own photoshoot with a model that truly represents your artistic work.

What to keep in mind before you buy

Plicks.com does not offer refunds (it’s more an exchange policy) except in very exceptional circumstances, but they have an extremely fast response time and are ready to help you with any technical problems or questions.

The Good, tnd these designs all that ugly, they are perfect for an ugly sweater Christmas party!

To Conclude

Plicks.com is a great time and money- saver and helps you create a greater number of options for your POD merch business. It can give you a way of increasing the quantity of what you have to offer with a minimum amount of work and help you generate more sales. 

The website has received numerous top-reviews and their customer service  and technical support is excellent. They don’t offer refunds (which is understandable given that they are an online business and cannot “take back” your downloaded goods). We like their T-shirt selection more than their Mockup-selection, but both offer quite a lot of value for very little money.

It is also important to remember that anyone can buy these design bundles, meaning that what really matters is not whether you buy them but what you DO with them and what you do with the time you save… or how you use your creativity to adjust them to your style!
