Production and transit are different clocks.
Before carrier handoff.
Timing begins after the order and usable artwork are complete. Product pages state the applicable production estimate.
After carrier scan.
Carrier estimates begin after the package leaves DTFATL. Upgraded shipping does not automatically accelerate production.
No carrier transit.
Eligible local orders may be collected only after the Ready for Pickup notification.
Before you place the order.
Keep the packaging, label and product. Photograph the outer box, label, packing materials and damage, then contact sales@dtfatl.com within the deadline stated in the current shipping and refund policies.

Common questions
Does DTFATL print on weekends?
Standard production runs Monday through Friday. Orders placed after the Friday deadline or during the weekend begin on the next available production day unless the product states otherwise.
When can I pick up my order in Atlanta?
Pick up only after DTFATL sends the order-ready notification. Confirmed orders may be collected from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily. Staffed assistance is available Monday through Friday from noon to 6:00 PM.
Does DTFATL edit customer artwork?
Standard print products require print-ready artwork. DTFATL does not automatically redesign, recreate, resize, remove backgrounds, or repair files unless a separate design service is clearly included.
The options you choose at checkout determine your order. Contact DTFATL before ordering when you have an unusual deadline or requirement.
