Please note:
CafePress does its best to ensure your delivery arrives on time. However, delivery dates are not guaranteed and your order may arrive after the estimated arrival date for various reasons, including unforeseen delays.
For example, your order may arrive after the estimated arrival date you see in checkout for any of the following reasons:
- Order contains items with longer than 2 day processing time, except books
- Large orders that have more than 100 items may require longer processing time
- Delivery is to a P.O. Box or APO/FPO address
- Delivery is outside the 48 continental United States
- Delays for Canada and International orders due to customs clearance
- Delays due to problems with credit card authorization and verification
- Problems with uploaded designs or media that do not meet our recommended requirements encountered during processing of your order
CafePress offers several shipping methods to choose from. You will see which shipping methods are available for your shipping address during checkout.
Depending on where your order is shipped, the following shipping methods may be available:

We calculate shipping cost for each shipping method based on the type and quantity of items in your order. For instance, an order that contains 2 sticker items costs less to ship than an order containing a sticker item and a framed print item.
