Shopping online often comes with the hope of getting free shipping. It makes the buying experience smoother and more affordable. Our site offers free shipping on most products for domestic orders within the United States. Yet, there are some exceptions, especially for items printed and shipped by third-party providers. This post explains how our free shipping policy works and clarifies which products are excluded.
How Our Free Shipping Works
We want to make shopping easy and cost-effective. That’s why the majority of products on our site qualify for free shipping when shipped within the United States. This means you can add your favorite items to the cart without worrying about extra delivery fees.
Eligible products: Most items stocked and shipped directly by us.
Shipping destinations: Domestic addresses within the United States.
No minimum order: Free shipping applies regardless of order size on eligible products.
This approach helps customers save money and encourages more frequent purchases. It also simplifies checkout by removing the need to calculate shipping costs for most items.
Why Some Products Are Excluded
Certain products on our site are printed and shipped by third-party providers. These items include custom-printed apparel, accessories, or home goods that require specialized production and fulfillment.
Because these products are handled by external partners, shipping costs vary based on factors like:
Production location
Shipping method used by the third party
Packaging requirements
For this reason, these products do not qualify for free shipping. Instead, shipping fees are calculated separately and displayed clearly during checkout.
Examples of Excluded Products
To help you understand better, here are some examples of products that usually have shipping fees:
Custom T-shirts printed by a third-party vendor
Personalized mugs or drinkware produced off-site
Printed posters or canvas art shipped directly from the printer
These items require individual handling and shipping arrangements, which means the cost cannot be absorbed into our free shipping offer.
How to Identify Eligible Products
We make it easy to know which products qualify for free shipping:
Product page notes: Eligible products will mention free shipping availability.
Cart summary: When you add items to your cart, shipping costs update automatically.
Checkout details: Final shipping fees or free shipping status appear before you complete your order.
If you see a shipping charge on your order, it likely includes one or more third-party printed products.
Tips for Saving on Shipping
Even when some products have shipping fees, there are ways to reduce or avoid extra costs:
Combine orders: Buy multiple eligible products in one order to maximize free shipping benefits.
Look for promotions: Occasionally, we offer special deals that include free shipping on third-party printed items.
Check product details: Some third-party items may have discounted or flat-rate shipping.
By planning your purchases, you can still enjoy savings on delivery.
Why We Use Third-Party Printing and Shipping
Using third-party providers allows us to offer a wider range of custom and personalized products without holding inventory. These partners specialize in printing and shipping on demand, which helps keep prices competitive and reduces waste.
While this means some products have separate shipping fees, it also means you get access to unique items that we could not produce ourselves.
What This Means for You as a Customer
Understanding our shipping policy helps you shop smarter:
You get free shipping on most products shipped directly by us.
You can expect clear shipping costs for third-party printed items.
You can plan orders to take advantage of free shipping where possible.
This transparency ensures no surprises at checkout and helps you make informed decisions.
