Turnaround Time and Shipping for Custom Apparel
How long it takes from first message to shirts in your hands, so you can plan around your event.
Standard bulk production takes 2-5 business days after your design and quote are approved. Shipping is extra and depends on distance from San Diego: usually 1-2 business days to nearby western states, about 3-5 to most of the country, and longer to Alaska and Hawaii. Local San Diego pickup is available.

How It Works
Quote and mockup
Send your details. We send a free digital mockup and quote.
Approval
You approve the design, sizes and price.
Production
Standard bulk production takes 2-5 business days.
Shipping or pickup
Ground shipping from San Diego, or pick up locally.
Shipping time by region
These are typical ground shipping ranges and not guarantees, since carriers can run late in busy seasons. Western states are usually the fastest, the central and eastern states take longer, and Alaska and Hawaii take the longest.
Order earlier for any event with a firm date, and tell us the date when you request your quote.
What can slow an order down
Late design approval, changing sizes after approval, and busy seasons such as VBS, back-to-school and the holidays. The best protection is an early quote and quick approval.
Rush orders
If your deadline is tight, tell us up front. We will say honestly whether it is possible and what the options are. Please do not assume rush is available without asking first.
