Helpful Tip: If you're ordering custom T-shirts for an event, fundraiser, business, or school, check your estimated delivery date before completing checkout. This helps you select a shipping option that fits your schedule.
What Information Does the Shipping Estimator Show?
Once you've entered your shipping state and ZIP code, Bolt Printing's shipping estimator displays the available delivery options for your order.
You'll be able to review:
- Shipping Methods: The available shipping services for your destination.
- Estimated Shipping Costs: The projected cost associated with each available shipping option.
- Estimated Delivery Dates: When your custom apparel is expected to arrive based on the selected shipping option.
Reviewing these options before checkout makes it easier to compare shipping costs and choose a delivery timeframe that works for your needs.
Are the Estimated Shipping Dates Guaranteed?
The shipping estimator provides projected delivery dates based on your order and destination. These dates are estimates and should not be treated as guaranteed arrival dates.
Custom apparel orders also require artwork review and proof approval before production begins.
If you have an important event or deadline, review your delivery options carefully and contact our team if you have questions about timing.
Important: Your artwork must be approved before production can begin. To help keep your order on schedule, review and approve your proof promptly when you receive it.
What If My Shipping Estimate Isn't Appearing?
If you're having trouble generating your shipping estimate, first verify that you've selected the correct state and entered a valid shipping ZIP code.
Make sure your custom apparel items are in the shopping cart, then click Get Estimate again.
If the shipping options still don't appear, contact our customer service team for assistance.
