POD orders marked shipped before carrier scans tracking
Print-on-demand orders get marked shipped with tracking numbers that carriers never scanned, so parcels appear lost or never move.

What's going wrong
Sellers using several print-on-demand supplier apps report that orders are marked shipped and given tracking numbers, yet carriers have no scan record and the parcel never moves. Some buyers are told a package arrived when it did not, while others wait weeks past promised production windows with tracking that shows nothing. Store owners say the supplier blames transit loss and gives little help, leaving them to handle refunds, lost trust and hard claims without the shipping details they need. Reviewers from Shopify and Etsy stores say the problem recurs. The opportunity is a tracking check that compares supplier shipment claims with real carrier scans and alerts sellers before customers notice.
