That's valid. There's a quality difference for sure, but I'll be keeping a close eye on pricing and as we get more efficient I anticipate prices coming down.
I'd have to agree with you. As someone who works in print, I'm usually surprised by the prices the fulfillment services are offering. I actually am preparing a beta launch of a service to offer all of these same products (kind of creepy coincidence) because I do feel the market is lacking. We already have all of the equipment in place and running, along with fantastic discounts on bulk shipping, supplies, packaging etc. Our pricing will be about 25% of what is shown (give or take a small amount). If you are interested, I'd love to chat with you and see if we can work together.
It would likely come down to how much interest we have in the product. Because we already have everything in place for canvas, framed products, and posters, we will be starting with those as our production lines are already optimized for that. If we could make a good business case for apparel products then we would absolutely expand there, but it likely won't be for a bit.
For the canvas prints, but the poster prints are a really good price. Most are less than half the price of FedEx Office and price competitive with the few poster sizes Costco does.
