Shipping policy
Shipping is handled by Teelaunch. The following guidelines apply to all orders.
Apparel - OSM (One Stop Mailing - where they are all sent to Chicago then from there they are sorted to USPS for delivery)
Production Times: https://blog.teelaunch.com/status/
Please understand these are estimates and are not a guarantee on exact times. So many factors can play a role in these times that it is hard to give an exact number of days for each item.
These products are “custom” or “printed on demand”, meaning that these products take time to process, print and ship.
First we need to understand how production works.
Order is placed:
When an order is placed it will be in pending status until the Teelaunch system batches in the order to fulfill. Teelaunch will batch orders every 4 hours. Once this order is in the system it goes thru a series of checks and is then ready to be assigned to a print facility.
Order is Assigned a Print Facility:
Once your order has been assigned to a print facility, the order is printed on paper and sent out onto the production floor. Once your order is in this phase, there is no guarantee that it can be canceled or changed.
Packaging and Shipping:
Once a printed order meets quality control standards, the item is packaged. Once packaged a shipping label is printed and the package is placed in a shipping bin to be picked up. Printing a shipping label triggers the tracking number and this is sent to the store to then be emailed to you, the customer. Once an order is ready for shipping it can take 12-24 hours for the tracking to update as the courier will still need to pick up the orders from the print facility.
During off-peak months the majority of orders are processed within 4-7 business days on average and ready for shipping.
During peak seasonal months, orders are processed within 9-12 business days on average and ready for shipping.
Peak Times:
Year to year can be different. However, these times of year are considered peak times. Keep in mind that shipping times also play a factor in the overall delivery times for orders.
