Common questions
Does DTFATL print on weekends?
DTFATL standard production runs Monday through Friday. Orders placed after the Friday cutoff or during the weekend enter the next available business-day production queue unless the product page explicitly states a weekend service.
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.
Product-specific options and checkout selections control the final order. Contact DTFATL before ordering when a deadline or requirement is unusual.
