1) Production
Your item is created after checkout, including printing, embroidery, or finishing.
Shipping & Delivery Info
Shipping & Delivery
Shipping & Delivery
Most items are made to order. Timelines are measured in business days, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
The most accurate estimate is always the production window shown on the product page you are ordering from.
How the Process Works
Shipping timing usually comes down to three parts: production, transit, and tracking.
2) Transit
After production, your package moves through the carrier network to you.
3) Tracking
You will receive tracking by email as soon as the order ships.
Production Timelines
Most items
Typically produce within 2 to 5 business days.
Specialty methods or items
May take 5 to 8 business days. The product page will show this when relevant.
Fully Custom projects
Production begins after proof approval, and the timeline is confirmed during the custom project flow.
Late-day orders
Orders placed after 12pm ET may begin processing on the next business day.
U.S. Shipping After Production
Standard
Typically 5 to 10 business days in transit.
Express
Typically 2 to 5 business days in transit when available at checkout.
If your order includes multiple items or different production partners, packages may arrive separately with separate tracking emails.
Holiday & Peak-Season Notes
During high-volume seasons, especially November through January, production queues and carrier networks may run slower than usual. If you are shopping for a specific date, ordering early is the safest move.
Seasonal tip: if you need holiday delivery, keep an eye on the site announcement bar and email notifications for the current recommended order-by date.
International Orders, by Request
If you are outside the U.S., email support@theimprintinator.com before ordering with:
- Delivery country and postal code
- What you want to order, including items and quantities
- Your deadline, if you have one
International shipments may include duties or taxes collected by your country. Customs processing can add time beyond carrier estimates.
