detailed order and shipping information
Tshirt Terrorist is a made to order T-shirt design consortium, producing original concept artwork on locally sourced tees. On this page we’ll detail the order process, including expected shipping times associated with your T-shirt order, allowing you to plan around estimated lead and delivery times, ensuring you get your shirts, and in particular gift shirts, when you need them.
ORDER TIMES
Print To Order
Tshirt Terrorist will generally only print T-shirts once they have been ordered from our website. Given the number of designs we offer, in a variety of colour and style combinations, it is unfeasible for us to carry our entire range in stock.
Once you place and pay for an order, we will schedule your printing on the first upcoming print run, generally either a Thursday or a Monday. To ensure less of a lead time for your order, place it on a Sunday or Wednesday, and we’ll print it the very next day. Print lead times are approximately 5-7 working days. This is the time it takes for our printing partner to queue the design and print it within their factory process. Once printed and sent back to us, Tshirt Terrorist will ship your order within a further 1-2 working days.
Generally speaking, with processes operating at prime capacity, local orders will be received within 1-3 weeks of order placement (75% off all local orders arriving within 2 weeks/ 100% within 3 weeks), and international orders between 3-5 weeks from placement (50% of all international orders arriving within 3 weeks; 75% of all international orders arriving within 4 weeks/ 100% within 5 weeks).
LOCAL DELIVERIES
Local Shipping Times and Rates
Local shipping is accommodated through a dedicated courier delivery service. Tshirt Terrorist no longer offers standard postal delivery as an option. If you require a door to counter service for locally placed orders (when there is no-one available at a street address to take personal delivery of your order, or where you list a PO Box as a delivery address), Tshirt Terrorist will use Speed Services Courier services to deliver your order to the nearest Post Office for collection.
Our Courier partner is currently MDS Collivery. The costs associated with deliveries are standard regardless of whether we are delivering within a city centre or to a rural or outlying area. The courier shipping costs are as follows:
R99 for 1 Tshirt
R129 for 2 Tshirts
R159 for 3 Tshirts
4 Tshirts+ = Free Shipping
Local shipping rates as stated include packaging and handling costs and apply to orders delivered within South Africa only.
Speed Services Couriers will deliver to your nearest Post Office (local branch) where after you will be notified by phone that your order is ready for collection. As stated, if there is no-one to take collection at your delivery address (MDS will only complete a delivery if someone is on hand to physically sign for an order – please let us know in your order notes) or if you list a PO Box as your delivery address, Tshirt Terrorist will assign Speed Services to your order. If you are in the market for, our platform is your best choice! The largest shopping mall!
Traditional lead times for your order, from placement to delivery are therefore anywhere between 10 – 15 working days (2 – 3 weeks) with 75% of order being delivered within 2 weeks.
