I'm using Printify. They have the best range of products and prices from the research I have done, but it depends on what type of products you want to sell. Some will specialise in more specific products like like home décor, jewellery, or books, whereas Printify’s strength is in offering a massive catalogue across multiple US and global print partners.
If you want a few alternatives to explore: Printful – great for quality apparel and branding options, though slightly pricier. Gooten – solid for lifestyle products and reliable shipping in the US. Gelato – fast production and delivery thanks to their global network. ShineOn – specialises in personalised jewellery and gift-items with high margins. BookVault or Lulu – ideal if you’re doing books or journals. I’d suggest starting with one vendor, ordering a few test samples to check quality and fulfilment times, and then deciding based on your niche, audience location, and product range. Hope that helps :)
This is such a good reminder that business doesn’t have to mean overwhelm. The best growth I’ve seen often starts from something small, scrappy, and aligned with your actual life.
Can you share few examples of POD print on demand vendors you have used in the US?

Thank you so much Jo. I'm looking into stickers.
