FAQs

SHIRTS

Where are your shirts printed?

All Teem shirts are printed in the good ‘ole US of A.

What kind of tees are they printed on?

We print on the softest and comfiest shirts we can find. Like jumping through a puffy cloud kind of soft. They’re also tagless, with custom printed size tags.

How do I know what size to order?

Refer to each product page for the sizing chart and any special instructions given per product. Or just take a guess and eat more/less pastries to make it fit.

I ordered two shirts of the same size, why is one smaller?

Some of the designs are printed on different style shirts. Check the description and sizing chart for each product for any special instructions.

How should I care for my shirts? Will they shrink?

The best way to care for your shirts is to turn them inside out and machine or hand wash them on cold. Since all of the shirts have some percentage of cotton, they will tend to shrink a little after being washed and dried. For the least shrinkage, dry on low or hang dry.

What type of printing process do you use?

Our shirts are printed with water-based or discharge ink, which leaves a soft print that won’t crack like plastisol prints. A few of the shirts use soft hand plastisol in order to get a bright white print.

Will the printing fade?

Because we choose to use soft water-based inks, some of the prints will slightly fade after being washed. Black prints tend to fade the most, but will still hold up for lots of wear and washes.

Do you print your own shirts?

No, we focus on helping you look awesome and leave the printing to the professional printing ninjas.

SHIPPING

How long does it take for shirts to arrive?

Once we ship your order, it should get to you in a few days (if you live in the United States) or a few weeks (if you live anywhere else) depending on the destination and customs processing. We’ll send you an email as soon as we send it. If you're still not sure, just email us. We're happy to clear things up.

What shipping method do you use?

Standard shipping for orders in the United States are shipped via USPS First Class or Priority Mail. International orders are shipped via USPS First Class International Mail.

How much does shipping cost?

It depends on your country and the size of your order. The easiest way to determine your shipping cost is to add the items to your cart, proceed to Checkout and enter your full shipping address to calculate shipping costs. Orders shipped outside of the U.S. are subject to regular customs duties and fees levied by the destination country.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we ship to almost every country around the world. Orders shipped outside of the U.S. are subject to regular customs duties and fees levied by the destination country.

Hypothetically speaking, I don't live in the U.S. Am I going to get hit with some kind of crazy import tax?

Probably. It’s best to check with your nearest postal/customs authority, but we know about some countries:



United Kingdom: If your goods (excluding shipping cost) exceed £15, you'll pay an additional 20% VAT on the entire cost of your order (including shipping), plus an £8 "handling fee" to Royal Mail. If your goods (excluding shipping cost) exceed £135, you'll also have to pay an additional 12% "customs duty" on the entire cost of your order (including shipping). You can read about Import VAT and Customs Duty here, and Royal Mail's handling fee here.
Canada: Flat $5 handling fee for USPS shipments.
Germany: Anything under €22 (price + shipping) is free of customs duties and import taxes, packages between €22-150 you’ll pay sales tax on price + shipping (19% as of August 2014), and over €150 you’ll pay sales tax and customs.
Brazil: Anything over $50 (including delivery) gets hit with a tariff and customs which can double the cost. Do yourself a favor, order only one shirt at a time. You'll spend more on shipping but avoid the painful customs.
The Netherlands: Anything over €22 (price & shipping) gets hit with sales tax (typically around 20% of the price including shipping). Anything over €150 will need to pay both sales taxes and customs.
Australia: Nothing to pay for import goods valued at up to AUD1,000.
Turkey: A limit of €75 per shipment for customs. If the value of shipment exceeds that, you pay +20% of the total sum.
Sweden: 12% customs tax (of the total value of the order). 25% sales tax of the customs tax value.
Denmark: Any package from outside the European Union that costs less than 80 DKK for the items themselves will have no duties or taxes. Any package equal to or above 80 DKK, customs will add a fee of 128 DKK plus a sales tax of 25% on the entire amount.
Norway: Anything under NOK 350 (price + shipping) is free of customs duties and import taxes, if above that you pay 25% sales tax on the total sum. Customs tax depends on the kind of goods ordered, i.e. clothes are 10,7% which are added before the sales tax.


If you know how these things work, email us and we'll add more information here.

Can I track my order?

Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email with a USPS tracking link. Please allow 24hrs (48hrs over weekends) for the link to activate. Once the packages leaves the US, the tracking links may not update but the package is still on its way.
