To ensure your t‑shirts arrives safely and stays all together, it’s important to pack and ship your shirts correctly. Follow these proven packing tips for a smoother experience!
1. Don’t Cut Your Shirts
-
Always include at least a 16″ × 16″ square from each shirt.
-
Cutting down shirts can result in $8.50 piecing fees if they aren't perfectly square.
-
Save money and headaches by sending full, uncut shirts.
2. Choose Your Layout in Advance
-
Want a specific design? Snap a photo of your layout and upload it via our chat or mail it with your shirts.
-
To specify front vs. back use, bundle shirts with rubber bands, label the bundle (“FRONTS”, "BACKS" or "BOTH SIDES"), and we'll follow your instructions.
3. Use One Single Plastic Bag
-
Pack all your t-shirts together in one large plastic bag to prevent dirt, moisture, and loss if the box gets damaged.
4. Pack Efficiently
-
Use the smallest sturdy box that fits your rolled or tightly folded shirts.
-
Fill the box completely—avoid empty spaces that can cause crushing or shifting during shipping.
-
Skip packing peanuts—they’re messy and ineffective.
5. Choose the Right Shipping Method
-
UPS
-
Standard USPS without signature is fine.
- FED EX
We monitor deliveries using video surveillance and promptly receive packages dropped off.
6. Shipping Tips & Common Pitfalls
-
Weak tape and oversized boxes often lead to punctures or opening en route.
-
A tight, well-taped box with quality packing tape withstands transit.
-
Multiple small bags increase the chance of lost shirts—it’s better to keep shirts together.
