Shipping Policy
Last updated: June 2025
Important distinction
Production time — Time to print, prepare, and pack your garment. Typically 2–7 business days after payment confirmation.
Shipping time — Time from when Printful hands your package to the carrier until it arrives at your door.
International customs — Additional processing time and possible fees controlled by the destination country. Outside our control.
1. Made-to-Order Production Time
All SODATERU garments are made to order through Printful. Your garment does not exist until you order it. Production typically begins within 24–48 hours of payment confirmation and takes 2–7 business days depending on garment type, print technique, and current Printful capacity.
Production time is not included in shipping window estimates. Your total delivery time = production time + shipping time.
2. Domestic Shipping (United States)
US orders typically ship within 2–7 business days after production completes. Standard shipping options include USPS, FedEx, and UPS depending on package size and destination.
Domestic orders are not subject to customs or import fees.

4. Customs, Duties, VAT, and Import Fees
International orders may be subject to customs duties, VAT, import taxes, brokerage fees, or carrier handling charges. These are assessed by the destination country and are not collected by SODATERU at checkout.
These fees are the customer's responsibility. See our Customs & Duties page for full details.
5. Tracking
A tracking number will be sent to your email when your order ships. Not all international carriers provide end-to-end tracking visibility. Tracking updates may stop at customs entry points and resume once cleared.
6. Delivery Delays
Delays can occur due to: high Printful volume, carrier capacity, severe weather, customs processing, public holidays, or events outside our control. SODATERU is not responsible for carrier delays once the package has been handed to the shipping carrier.
If your tracking shows no movement for 14+ business days (domestic) or 30+ business days (international), contact us and we will investigate.
7. Incorrect Addresses
You are responsible for entering a correct and complete shipping address at checkout. If a package is returned to Printful due to an incorrect address, you may be charged re-shipping costs. SODATERU cannot redirect a package already in transit.
8. Lost Packages
If tracking shows your package as delivered but you have not received it, first check with neighbours, building management, and your local carrier. If the issue persists, contact us within 30 days of the expected delivery date. We will open a claim with the carrier and work toward a resolution.
9. Split Shipments
If you order multiple items from the same order, they may ship separately if fulfilled from different Printful facilities. You will receive tracking for each shipment separately.
