How POD Starter checks a claim before publishing it
POD rules, fees, availability, production times, and marketplace policies change. This page explains what we check, what we cannot prove, and how to report a mistake.
Use the official source first
Provider, marketplace, payment, production, and policy claims link to the current official page whenever one is available. A source trail is part of the page, not a private research note.
When a source does not expose a detail, we write “unknown” or describe the limit. We do not fill a missing provider fact with an estimate borrowed from a different product, region, or platform.
Separate facts from judgment
A sourced fact describes what a provider or marketplace says. An editorial recommendation explains why that fact may fit a beginner, product, destination, or selling model. Those are different claims and should not be read as a guarantee of quality, delivery, margin, or legal safety.
POD Starter does not claim hands-on testing unless the method and result are documented. A sample or tool cannot prove every future order will match it.
Show review dates
Each time-sensitive article and directory record carries a review date. Current does not mean permanent: fees, policies, integrations, payout timing, availability, and fulfillment routes can change.
Re-check the linked official source before making a purchase, publishing a listing, or relying on a delivery promise.
Corrections are part of the process
If a provider record, source link, or explanation is wrong, send the page and the specific claim. We keep the correction destination configurable so the public launch cannot silently pretend that an unmonitored inbox exists.
Report an errorBusiness transparency
POD Starter may add affiliate relationships in the future. A link should be labeled where the relationship exists, and the editorial recommendation should remain explainable from the product fit, source trail, and trade-offs rather than commission alone.
