How long will it take to get my order?

Shipping timelines vary. Up to date information on individual products are listed on my Timelines page

Some items are made to order after purchase and take a few days to be produced. Most apparel products, such as T-Shirts, take between 2-7 business days to be produced. Shipping times add a few more days on top of that and that varies based on your shipping selection.

How fast can I get my order?

We have a number of shipping options available depending on how urgently you may want your items. If speed is important, check my Timelines page to see which items can be shipped within 24 hours

If you are placing an order for an item you wish to have before a convention, it is safest to try to allow 3 weeks to account for both production time as well as shipping time. We have several shipping options available which vary from 1-8 business days within the USA and 1-20 business days for international orders.

Will my item be produced faster if I select the FedEx shipping option?

Yes! Orders that have been requested with FedEx priority level of service are automatically bumped to the front of the queue for the best possible fulfillment time.

Once we have shipped the item, it is out of our hands. We may not be able to replace items who's tracking numbers show a successful delivery. Please do the following if your item says it has been delivered:

STEP ONE: Do you have roommates? Or family? Ask if anyone who has access to your mail may have received the item on your behalf.

STEP TWO: Contact your local post office branch (or the shipping carrier that comes up when you receive your tracking number.) Some carriers may attempt to deliver and leave a slip instead of an item if you are not home. You may need to contact them to collect your item.
