Shipping, Returns & Cancellations

For Custom T Shirt Printing Online – Australia

At Custom T Shirt Printing Online, we work hard to get your orders to you quickly, accurately and with as little waste as possible. This page explains how our shipping, returns and cancellations work so you know what to expect before placing an order.

Shipping & Turnaround Options

We currently offer two main fulfilment options:

  1. Express (Urgent)
  2. Standard Approx. 2-Week Turnaround
  3. PickupOnly available in Brisbane & Melbourne

⛔ Please note: Delays can occur during public holidays and peak periods such as Christmas and New Year. Always allow extra time when ordering during these periods.

1. Express (Urgent Orders) 

Our Express option is designed for:

  • Urgent event orders
  • Last-minute jobs
  • Tight deadlines (e.g. memorials, funerals, urgent corporate events)

 

Why customers choose Express (besides speed):

  • Peace of mind when timing is critical
  • Ideal for once-off events that cannot be moved
  • Priority handling in our production queue
  • More predictable delivery for time-sensitive occasions

 

Typical timeframes (Express):

  • Production: Same-day or 1–3 business days (depending on job complexity and quantity)
  • Shipping:
    • Express courier: usually 1–2 business days to metro areas
    • Regional and remote areas: may take longer depending on the courier network

 

➀ Important:
Express production and shipping are subject to stock availability and courier capacity. During busy seasons (Christmas, New Year, public holidays), allow extra time.

2. Standard Approx. 2-Week Turnaround

Our standard 2-week turnaround is the best option if you have some time before your event or deadline.

Why customers choose Standard (besides price):

  • More garment options available (including screen printing and bulk jobs)
  • More time for artwork proofing and corrections
  • Ideal for large events, uniforms and planned projects
  • Less stress for you and your team

 

Typical timeframes (Standard):

  • Production: Around 2 weeks from artwork approval and payment
  • Shipping:
    • Standard courier: usually 3–5 business days to metro areas
    • Express upgrade available at additional cost if required
    • Regional and remote areas: may take longer

➀ Recommendation:
If your event date allows, we strongly recommend choosing the standard 2-week turnaround. It gives you the best overall value and the smoothest process.

Holiday & Peak Period Delays

During peak times such as:

  • Christmas
  • New Year
  • Public holidays
  • Major sale periods

 

couriers and suppliers can experience delays outside our control.

Please allow extra time for:

  • Production
  • Shipping
  • Stock availability

 

We cannot be held responsible for courier delays once your order has left our premises, but we’ll always do our best to help track and support your delivery.

Cancellations & Order Changes

Because our system is automated and orders are placed into production very quickly, cancellations and changes are time-sensitive.

Same-Day Cancellations

If you wish to cancel or change an order:

  • Contact us immediately on the same day the order is placed.
  • A member of our sales team must confirm in writing that:
    • your order was reviewed in time, and
    • your cancellation/change has been activated.

 

If we are able to stop the order before garments are ordered or production starts, we may:

  • Cancel with no or reduced fees, or
  • Apply a minimum cancellation fee (starting at $35.00 per order) to cover admin and any supplier charges.

Cancellations After the Same Day

Once an order has been processed and stock ordered from our supplier:

  • A cancellation or restocking fee will apply.
  • This fee starts at $35.00 per order and may increase depending on:
    • garments ordered,
    • supplier restocking policies, and
    • freight to return unused garments.

 

This fee helps cover the cost of safely returning garments and helps us keep our waste loop close to zero.

⚠ Important:
Once an order has moved into production and/or printing has started, it cannot be cancelled or changed.

Order Changes & Incorrect Orders

If an order has been incorrectly placed (e.g. wrong size, colour, quantity) and is only noticed on the next business day:

  • We will do what we can to help, but:
    • A restocking fee may apply if garments have already been ordered.
    • Additional shipping costs may apply to return shirts to the supplier.

Precaution:
Always double-check:

  • Design
  • Colours
  • Sizes
  • Quantities
  • Shipping method

 

Before placing your order.
If in doubt, call or email us BEFORE you submit and pay for your order.

We cannot take responsibility for mistakes made by the client when entering order details, sizes, colours or quantities.

⭐ CANCELLATIONS & ORDER CHANGES FAQs

Q: Can I cancel my order?

Yes - but you must contact us immediately on the same day you place the order.

A member of our sales team must confirm the cancellation in writing to ensure it was seen and activated in time.


Q: Is there a cancellation fee?

Yes.
A cancellation or restocking fee starting at $35.00 per order will apply.

Plus there is a fee to order each item again. Check with us what the fee will be for your order.

This fee covers:

  • Admin processing
  • Supplier restocking fees
  • Return freight for garments
  • Prevention of garment waste

Q: Why is there a cancellation fee?

Because our system automatically orders your garments and places them in the production queue once payment is received.
The fee covers returning garments to suppliers and avoids waste.


Q: What if I entered the wrong size, colour or quantity?

If your mistake is noticed after the day you order, a restocking fee may apply if garments have already been ordered from suppliers.

If you call us within office hours and we are able to make changes before stock has been ordered you may not possibly have to pay for restocking. Its best to call ASAP when orders are not placed correctly.

I advise my customers to check everything is correct before placing orders. It saves time and money.

We cannot guarantee changes once production has started.


Q: When can orders NOT be cancelled?

Orders cannot be cancelled if:

  • Production has already started
  • Garments have already been printed
  • Garments have already been shipped
  • Artwork has already been approved and print files created

Q: What should I do if I’m unsure before ordering?

If in doubt:

  • Call or email us BEFORE placing your order
  • Double-check quantities, colours and artwork
  • Request help from our team

We are happy to assist before payment is made.


Q: Can I change my delivery address after ordering?

We can update your address only if the order has not shipped yet.
Contact us immediately for changes.


Q: Why can’t orders be changed once placed?

Our system automatically:

  1. Books your garments
  2. Places them into production
  3. Prepares artwork for printing

Because of this automation, we cannot edit or reverse many orders once they begin processing.
