Sam’s DTF Transfers Shipping Policy
At Sam’s DTF Transfers, we work to produce and ship orders as
quickly as possible. Most eligible, print-ready orders are produced
and shipped the same or next business day.
Production time and carrier transit time are separate. Please review
the information below before placing your order.
1. Production Turnaround
Production estimates begin after payment and usable, print-ready
artwork have been received.
Most eligible, print-ready orders placed by
2:00 PM CT Monday through Friday are produced and
shipped the same business day. Orders placed after the cutoff
typically ship the next business day.
Saturday production may be available for eligible orders submitted
by 10:00 AM CT.
Typical production turnaround:

Production time varies depending on quantity, artwork, and project
requirements
Orders requiring artwork correction, customer approval, payment
verification, inventory confirmation, or additional information may
take longer.
Large-volume orders may require additional production time.
Same-day production is not guaranteed unless specifically confirmed
in writing.
2. Production Time vs. Transit Time
Production time is the time required to prepare your order before it
is transferred to the shipping carrier.
Carrier transit time begins after the package has been accepted and
scanned by UPS, FedEx, USPS, or another carrier.
Selecting an expedited shipping method does not automatically
guarantee same-day production. We prioritize eligible expedited
orders whenever possible, but the order must also meet the posted
cutoff time and artwork requirements.
3. Shipping Methods and Delivery Estimates
Available shipping methods, rates, and current delivery estimates
are displayed at checkout.
Shipping options may include:
-
Standard or Ground Shipping:
Estimated delivery after carrier acceptance
-
2-Day Shipping:
Estimated delivery within two business days after carrier
acceptance
-
Paid Next Day Delivery:
Delivery on the next eligible business day after carrier
acceptance
-
Saturday Delivery:
Available only upon request and for eligible destinations, subject
to carrier confirmation
Standard, Ground, 2-Day, Express, free shipping, and all other
shipping timeframes are estimates only. They are not guaranteed.
Saturday, Sunday, and federal holidays may not count as carrier
business days unless an eligible Saturday Delivery service has been
purchased and confirmed.
4. Next Day Delivery Guarantee
Only paid Next Day Delivery is a guaranteed shipping service.
The guarantee begins after the package has been accepted by the
carrier and remains subject to the carrier’s service terms,
destination eligibility, cutoff requirements, and exclusions.
If an eligible paid Next Day Delivery shipment arrives after the
carrier’s guaranteed delivery date, you may submit an Order Issue
Form to request a review.
Any approved refund:
-
Is limited to the amount paid for the Next Day Delivery service
- Does not include the product or order value
-
Is subject to the carrier’s eligibility requirements and approval
-
Does not apply when the delay results from weather, holidays, an
incorrect address, delivery changes, carrier service suspensions,
or other excluded circumstances
All other shipping methods are estimated and are not eligible for a
shipping fee or order refund because of late delivery.
5. Free Shipping Offers
Eligible orders may qualify for:
-
Free Standard Shipping on orders of $99 or more
-
Free 2-Day Shipping on orders of $249 or more
Eligibility is based on the qualifying order subtotal after
discounts and may be limited to eligible products and destinations.
Free Standard and Free 2-Day shipping timeframes are estimates only
and are not guaranteed. Free 2-Day Shipping is not the same as paid
Next Day Delivery.
Current free shipping thresholds and eligibility requirements are
displayed at checkout and may change during special promotions.
6. Saturday Delivery
Saturday Delivery may be available for eligible destinations when
requested before the Friday production cutoff.
Availability depends on:
- Print-ready artwork
- Production completion
- Carrier pickup and service availability
- Destination eligibility
- Payment of the applicable Saturday Delivery charge
- Holidays and carrier restrictions
Saturday Delivery must be confirmed. Placing an order before the
Friday cutoff does not automatically guarantee Saturday delivery.
7. Shipping Coverage
We currently ship to all 50 U.S. states.
Rates and estimated delivery times for Alaska and Hawaii may differ
from those for the contiguous United States and will be displayed at
checkout.
We do not currently offer international shipping.
8. Local Pickup
Local pickup is available only from our Richardson, Texas production
center.
Eligible, print-ready pickup orders placed by
9:00 AM CT on business days may be available for
pickup after 1:00 PM CT.
Please wait until you receive a
Ready for Pickup notification before arriving.
Production delays may occur when an order requires artwork
correction, approval, payment verification, or additional
information.
Local pickup is available only in Richardson. We do not maintain
pickup locations in Dallas, Plano, Garland, or other DFW cities.
9. Tracking Information
You will receive a tracking number when the shipping label is
created.
A shipping label or tracking number may be created before the carrier
physically receives or scans the package. Please allow up to 1–2
business days for tracking activity to appear.
Tracking scans and delivery updates are controlled by the carrier.
Sam’s DTF Transfers cannot change or guarantee the frequency of
carrier tracking updates.
10. Incorrect or Incomplete Shipping Addresses
Customers are responsible for reviewing the shipping address before
completing checkout.
If you need to request an address change, submit an Order Issue Form
as quickly as possible. Address changes are not guaranteed after
production or shipping processing begins.
Once a package has been transferred to the carrier:
- We may be unable to change or redirect the address
- Carrier address-correction or rerouting fees may apply
- The customer may be responsible for reshipping costs
-
Orders returned because of an incorrect or incomplete address may
require an additional shipping payment
Sam’s DTF Transfers is not responsible for delays, losses, or
additional costs caused by an incorrect or incomplete address
provided by the customer.
11. Delayed, Lost or Damaged Packages
A delayed package is different from a package that has been lost or
damaged.
If your package is delayed, lost, damaged in transit, or marked
delivered but cannot be located, submit an
Order Issue Form
.
Please provide:
- Your order number
- A description of the shipping issue
- Photos of the package and products if damaged
- Any relevant tracking or delivery information
We may need to open or complete a carrier investigation before
determining the appropriate resolution.
Replacement or refund eligibility is handled according to our
Refund, Reprint & Return Policy
.
Please do not discard damaged packaging or products until the claim
has been reviewed.
12. Delivery Delays Outside Our Control
Delivery estimates may be affected by:
- Carrier delays or service interruptions
- Weather conditions
- Natural disasters
- Federal holidays
- High-volume shipping periods
- Incorrect or incomplete addresses
- Delivery changes requested by the recipient
- Events outside our reasonable control
Except for an eligible paid Next Day Delivery claim, estimated
delivery delays do not qualify for a refund of shipping fees or order
costs.
If we cannot ship an order within a specifically promised production
or shipping timeframe, we will provide any notice, cancellation
option, or refund required by applicable law.
