How we set these dates
Every date builds in a cushion, so a small delay does not cost you Christmas:
- Your order is printed the same day when you order before 3 PM EST.
- We plan for it to leave our shop by the next business day.
- We add the carrier's transit time for the option you choose.
- We keep one extra business day before Christmas Eve.
Weekends are not business days, so an order placed on Saturday or Sunday is printed on Monday.
Closed days and pickup hours
We are closed on Thursday, Nov 26 (Thanksgiving) and Friday, Dec 25 (Christmas). Our Alpharetta shop is open Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM and Saturday from 9 AM to 2 PM for pickups.
Choose Local Pickup at checkout and we will let you know as soon as your order is ready. Directions and details are on our Atlanta DTF pickup page.
Tips for ordering during the holiday rush
- Order early. The closer you get to Christmas, the busier carriers get.
- Combine designs on one sheet. The Gang Sheet Builder lets you fit many gifts on a single 22-inch sheet.
- Need just a few transfers? Order DTF transfers by size instead.
- Want finished apparel? Browse custom t-shirts or custom blankets for gifts that are ready to wrap.
- Ordering blankets? Blankets take 1–3 business days to produce, so order them a few business days before the dates above.
