Delivery time · outside the US

Selling abroad on Printify? Pick a printer near your buyers.

Every CustomCat order ships from Detroit, so outside the US it typically quotes 8–23 business days. Printify beats that only with a printer near your buyer, such as a UK printer for UK orders. Its other listings mostly ship from the US and typically quote 11–32 days, so CustomCat is usually quicker.

Where Printify still wins: kids and baby.

Printify is cheaper on 5 of the 9 kids', youth and baby products both sell, including all three baby and toddler pieces. Shipping is $4.95 against $4.99 on every one, so the garment price decides it.
