Shipping & Turnaround Times
Fast Shipping Matters When You're Running a Business
We know you're not just ordering transfers and patches — you're ordering supplies you need to complete customer orders, stock your boutique, prep for markets, and keep your business moving.
That's why we make fast fulfillment a priority.
Most Orders Ship Same or Next Business Day
We do our best to ship orders the same or next business day whenever possible.
Orders are processed Monday–Friday, excluding holidays.
During major sales, new releases, holidays, or unusually high-volume periods, processing may take a little longer. If we are experiencing an extended turnaround time, we will communicate that whenever possible.
All orders ship from our warehouse in Iowa.
Processing Time vs. Shipping Time
These are two different parts of your order timeline.
Processing Time
The time between placing your order and your package leaving Trendy Transfers.
Our goal is to ship most orders the same or next business day.
Shipping Time
The time it takes the carrier to deliver your package after it leaves our warehouse.
Your shipping method does not change our processing time.
For example, choosing UPS Next Day Air means the package travels by Next Day Air after it leaves our warehouse. It does not automatically move the order ahead of other orders in our production queue.
Shipping Methods
Shipping options and rates are calculated at checkout based on your package, delivery location, and selected carrier service.
UPS
We highly recommend UPS when your order is time-sensitive.
If you're ordering for a customer deadline, boutique launch, vendor event, team order, or other date-sensitive project, UPS is generally our recommended shipping option.
Available UPS services and estimated delivery times will be displayed at checkout.
USPS
USPS shipping options are also available.
USPS can be a great economical option when your order is not particularly time-sensitive, but delivery times can vary.
If you are working against a firm deadline, we recommend choosing UPS whenever possible.
Expedited Shipping
Need your package quickly after it ships?
Expedited options may be available at checkout, including UPS air services.
Please remember:
Expedited shipping does not mean expedited processing.
We will still process your order according to our current production queue.
Selecting Next Day Air, for example, means the carrier's expedited service begins once the package has been completed and handed over to UPS.
Whenever possible, order ahead of your deadline rather than relying on expedited shipping at the last minute.
Custom DTF & Gang Sheet Orders
Custom DTF transfers and gang sheets are produced using the artwork you submit.
To keep your order moving as quickly as possible, please make sure your files are print-ready and correct before submitting your order.
Artwork issues, missing files, incorrect sizing, or other problems that require us to contact you may delay your order.
Please review custom artwork carefully before checkout.
Orders With Multiple Products
Orders generally ship together once all items in the order are ready.
If your order contains an item with a later availability date, preorder date, or extended turnaround time, your entire order may be held until that item is ready to ship.
Ordering something future-dated?
We strongly recommend placing future-dated or preorder products on a separate order from products you need right away.
This prevents one later-arriving item from holding up the rest of your order.
Tracking Your Order
As soon as your shipping label is created, tracking information will be sent to the email address associated with your order.
Tracking may initially show Label Created, Pre-Shipment, or a similar status until the carrier completes its first scan.
Once the carrier scans your package, tracking will begin updating as it travels through the carrier network.
Planning Around a Customer Deadline?
We love that so many small businesses trust Trendy Transfers to help keep their own orders moving.
If you need products for a:
Customer Order • Boutique Drop • Vendor Market • Team Order • School Event • Holiday Launch • Special Event
we always recommend allowing yourself a little extra time.
While we work hard to ship most orders the same or next business day, processing and carrier delivery estimates are not guaranteed delivery dates.
When timing matters, ordering early and selecting UPS gives you the best buffer against unexpected carrier delays.
Double-Check Your Shipping Address
Please review your shipping address carefully before submitting your order.
Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address at checkout.
Once an order has entered processing or a shipping label has been generated, we may not be able to make changes.
Packages Marked Delivered
If tracking shows your package as delivered but you cannot locate it, we recommend:
-
Checking your mailbox, porch, garage, side doors, and other possible delivery locations.
-
Checking with household members or neighbors.
-
Allowing until the end of the delivery day in case the carrier scanned the package shortly before completing delivery.
-
Contacting the shipping carrier directly with your tracking number.
The carrier has access to delivery scans and other information that can help determine where the package was delivered.
Lost, Delayed or Damaged Packages
Once your package has been accepted by the carrier, transportation and final delivery are handled by that carrier.
Carrier delays may occasionally occur due to weather, holiday volume, transportation issues, or other circumstances outside our control.
If your tracking has stopped updating for an extended period, please contact our Customer Service Team so we can help determine the appropriate next step.
If your package arrives damaged, please keep the original packaging and take photos of:
-
The shipping box or mailer
-
The shipping label
-
Any visible package damage
-
Any damaged products
These may be needed when reviewing the shipment with the carrier.
