We don’t ship to some countries because of legal restrictions or shipping carrier limitations. The list of restricted countries may change depending on world events, but for now, we don’t ship to the following destinations: 

  • Crimea, Luhansk, and Donetsk regions in Ukraine
  • Russia
  • Belarus
  • Ecuador
  • Cuba
  • Iran
  • Syria
  • North Korea 

You can find the full list of restricted countries here. 

No, not always. We may split an order into multiple shipments for the following reasons:

  • Product packaging. Some of our products are individually packaged to protect their shape and provide extra cushion and durability. The products we’ll always ship separately* are:
    • snapback hats, trucker hats, dad hats/baseball caps, and visors
    • backpacks
    • mugs
    • stickers
    • pillows with stuffing
    • posters
    • framed posters
    • canvas
    • bean bag cases
    • water bottles
    • notebooks
  • Fulfillment location. In our Product Catalog, you’ll see that we fulfill products in multiple locations (e.g., USA, Europe), so if your order consists of products that have different fulfillment locations, we’ll ship the products separately.

Multiple shipment orders will have higher shipping costs than single shipment orders. See the final shipping costs at order checkout or read about shipping calculations.

 

*Note: We calculate the shipping costs for the product categories mentioned here, assuming that they would always ship separately. Occasionally, some of these products can be shipped together with other products, but they would still be charged the shipping fee as a single product.

Printful’s estimated delivery time (EDT) is our prediction of when an order could be delivered to you. The EDT is the sum of estimated fulfillment and shipping time. Think:

 

estimated fulfillment + estimated shipping = estimated delivery time

 

Our fulfillment time average is 2–5 business days for all products. When we calculate the estimated fulfillment time, we take into account the current order volume and our capacity.

 

The estimated shipping time is calculated according to our historical shipping data for deliveries to your area or selling region.

 

The estimated delivery time is just an estimate, it’s not a guarantee. You can receive the order past the EDT for reasons, like:

 

  • Issues with design files
  • Products being out of stock
  • Shipping-related delays like failed delivery attempts or service disruptions


We work our hardest to meet our delivery estimates. If you’re ever in a situation where you haven’t received the order and it’s past its estimated delivery time, please allow a few more days. If you still haven’t received your order, get in touch with us at [email protected], we’ll check your order status, and let you know how to proceed.

If your order’s estimated delivery time has passed and you still haven’t received it, here’s what you do:


  1. Wait a day or two. Shipments can get delayed for reasons we can’t predict. We understand it’s frustrating to deal with late shipments, but please remember that our estimated delivery time is just an estimate - it’s not a guarantee.
  2. If you still haven’t received your order, get in touch with our customer support team. Let us know about your delayed shipment and we’ll check the latest delivery estimates to your location. Reach us by clicking the yellow speech bubble in the bottom right corner or email us at [email protected].

If your order is shipped from a facility that's in a different region than your delivery destination, you might have to pay handling and/or customs fees upon delivery. The customs fees may vary depending on the order value, country limits, etc.

To avoid customs fees, order products that we fulfill close to your delivery region, which is set automatically based on your geo-location. This region can be viewed and adjusted by dropping down the Preferences menu under the globe icon at the top right of the page and selecting Default catalog and delivery preferences. 

 

the Preferences menu

We recommend keeping the slider tool on the default “Faster Delivery/Fewer Products” setting to ensure that you are shown products which can be fulfilled close to your location. 
If you haven’t received your order or notice an issue with the products, reach out to our customer support team, and we’ll help you get it solved. Please read our Return Policy for more details.

How to set up shipping on your online store

1. Get Printful shipping rates for all products and regions

To set up a profitable pricing strategy when using on-demand services, there are two prices to take into account—product and shipping. Both will get charged for each order your customers make.

The shipping categories below contain products that have similar dimensions, weight, and packaging. In some cases, like for Bags, Mugs, and Posters, subcategories provide more exact rates.

Our fixed Standard shipping rates are calculated based on the average shipping cost for each product category. The previous table gives shipping rates and estimated times for your selling region, and here you can see all categories and shipping regions at once.

2. Set shipping rates that fit your pricing strategy

For every order you get, Printful charges you for shipping. Shipping costs depend on the amount and type of products in each order, as well as the selected shipping option. Printful offers domestic and international shipping.

You set up your own shipping rates for customers on your storefront. Lower shipping costs help you become competitive in the market and avoid cart abandonment. You can increase the price of your products to cover shipping costs and offer your customers free shipping or set up Printful’s rates as they are among the best in the industry.

To get the shipping cost for an order with one product, go to the selling region table or the shipping rates overview and find the category with your desired product. Take a look at the Single product column—that’s the total shipping cost.

Example: The cost of shipping one t-shirt to the USA is $3.99.

Items that are grouped together under one shipping category have the same shipping rates. For example, sweatshirts and sweatpants are in one category, and keychains and pet tags are in another. Please note that some categories, like Bags, are separated into subcategories with different shipping rates.

To calculate the shipping cost for an order with two or more products from the same category, go to the shipping rates overview and find the category with your products.

Take a look at the Single product column—that’s the shipping cost for an order containing only one product. Then look at the Additional product column and add that price to the one in the Single product column. That’s it!

Example:

  1. You get an order for a sweatshirt and a pair of sweatpants going to Australia.
  2. Check the Single product column; it’s $10.99 to ship the sweatshirt to Australia.
  3. Check the Additional product column; it’s an extra $2.00 to ship the sweatpants.
  4. Add the two together, and the total cost for shipping to Australia is $12.99.

Products that are not grouped together under a category count as different products in terms of shipping rates. For example, hoodies and all-over print leggings, or tote bags and backpacks are in separate categories with different pricing.

To calculate the shipping cost for an order with products from different categories, go to the shipping rates overview and find the categories with your products. See which of your products has the highest shipping cost in the Single product column, and use that as a base. Then, to cover the second product, add that product category’s Additional product price. That’s it!

Example:

  1. You get an order for a hoodie and an apron going to the USA.
  2. Check the categories for the products. The hoodie is in the Hoodies, sweatshirts, jackets, and pants category, and the apron is the Embroidered aprons and socks subcategory of the Aprons, towels, and socks category.
  3. Check which product category has the higher Single product price. It’s $6.50 for the hoodie and $3.99 for the apron, so here the hoodie will be your base price.
  4. Check the Additional product column from the Embroidered aprons and socks subcategory; it’s $1.25 for the USA.
  5. Add the Single product price for the hoodie and the Additional product price for the apron together. The total shipping cost is $7.75 for the USA.

These products ship separately* from others due to packaging differences:

  • snapback hats, trucker hats, dad hats/baseball caps, and visors
  • backpacks
  • mugs, wine tumblers, and pint glasses
  • stickers
  • pillows with stuffing
  • posters
  • framed posters
  • canvas
  • bean bag cases
  • water bottles
  • notebooks
  • blankets

To calculate the shipping cost for an order that contains two or more products from this list that are in the same category, like three mugs or a keychain and a pet tag, you can refer to the question: How do I calculate shipping costs for additional products from the same category?

To calculate the shipping cost for orders with products that ship separately and are in different product categories, add the shipping prices from the Single product column of both products’ categories.

To ensure you don’t lose profit on shipping, if you sell Printful products that require separate shipping, we advise you to set your rates for these products using the prices in the Single product column only.

Example:

  1. You get an order for a 12″ × 12″ canvas and an enamel mug going to Europe.
  2. Find the category for the 12″ × 12″ canvas. It’s under Canvas in the first subcategory. Check the Single product shipping price; it’s $6.60 for Europe.
  3. Find the category for the enamel mug. It’s under Mugs in the Enamel mugs subcategory. Check the Single product shipping price; it’s $4.39 for Europe.
  4. Add the Single product prices for both items together, and the total shipping cost is $10.99.

*Note: We recommend calculating the shipping fees for the product categories mentioned here assuming that they would always ship separately. Occasionally, some of these products can be shipped together with other products, but they would still be charged as a single product for the shipping fee.

By default, we use Standard shipping rates for warehouse products. The Standard shipping method is available for all integrations and you can calculate its rates with our shipping rate calculator. Here’s how you do it:

  1. If you already have an account with us, head to the shipping rate calculator in your Printful Dashboard and get the costs for the products you sell.
  2. If you don’t have an account with us, then use the warehouse item shipping rate calculator from our Warehouse & Fulfillment page to estimate the shipping costs for the items you plan to sell with us.

Express shipping is only available for manual orders and ecommerce platforms that support live rates, which are calculated by carriers in real time. If your integration supports live rates, you can set those up for your warehoused products, too! Just follow the setup directions on your ecommerce platform.

Low shipping fee!

I switched over to Prinftul because I wanted higher quality art prints for my small art business. The quick shipping and low shipping fee was definitely a plus, and the prints I ordered were securely and safely packaged. Usually, I order from another company but their paper+image quality was just not cutting it. I was very impressed with the high-quality prints from Printful and will definitely be ordering more!
