They&rsquo;ll give you free shipping and 20% off your order.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some caveats though. Every Printful user gets 1 sample order a month unless they have a certain amount of sales. As your monthly sales increase, your available sample orders increase as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&rsquo;re also limited to 3 items per sample order. If you had a lot of products you wanted to order, you wouldn&rsquo;t be able to do so with a sample order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, you can only send your sample orders to 3 addresses. I imagine this is to prevent Printful users from using sample purchases to fulfill customer orders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re shipping Printful products to yourself, it&rsquo;s unlikely your address is changing enough to max out the 3 address limit. But, if you move a lot, you&rsquo;ll want to be in touch with Printful support to see about switching out some of the addresses you have on file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alright, so sample orders are a great option for <a href=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/can-you-buy-your-own-pod-products\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">buying your own print on demand products.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a sample order won&rsquo;t work for you though, go ahead and choose a standard order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Add your product to your Printful order<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, it&rsquo;s time to add the product you want to purchase to your order.

There&rsquo;s no requirement for sellers to ship products to themselves and store their own inventory.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting started with print on demand can be confusing. What&rsquo;s this amazing ecommerce land where I can sell products without needing to buy or store any inventory?! Yes, this amazing land does exist and it&rsquo;s called print on demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Printful, there&rsquo;s no requirement that you send products to yourself to store as inventory for when customer purchases come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s say you have an <a href=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/printful-work-with-etsy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Etsy store that&rsquo;s integrated with Printful<\/a>, for example. When an order comes into your Etsy store, <a href=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/automatically-fulfill-orders-etsy-printful\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Printful will automatically fulfill it.<\/a> This includes producing the product and shipping it to your customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&rsquo;s no need for you to even see the product, let alone have it shipped to you, during the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the big reasons why <a href=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/why-i-love-printful\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">I love Printful<\/a> and print on demand in general.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_3065-min.jpeg\" alt=\"Printful sweatshirt\" class=\"wp-image-4111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_3065-min.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_3065-min-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_3065-min-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_3065-min.jpeg.webp\" alt=\"Printful sweatshirt\" class=\"wp-image-4111 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_3065-min.jpeg.webp 800w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_3065-min-300x225.jpeg.webp 300w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_3065-min-768x576.jpeg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_3065-min.jpeg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-10\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s important to understand that you <em>can<\/em> ship Printful products to yourself, but you don&rsquo;t <em>have<\/em> to.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may want to ship products to yourself because you want to get your hands on some samples before making them available to your customers.
