What are Printify’s shipping options?
Printify gives you four shipping methods to choose from: Economy, Standard, Priority, and Express Delivery, so you can match delivery speed and cost to what each customer needs.
Availability depends on your sales channel and the Print Provider fulfilling the order. Here's a breakdown of each option:
| Shipping method | Cost | Domestic delivery (US) | International delivery | Supported sales channels |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy | From USD 3.99 (prices listed in the Catalog) | 4-8 business days | n/a | Etsy, Shopify, Printify Pop-Up Store, Printify API, manual orders |
| Standard | From USD 4.75 | 2-5 business days (most Print Providers) | 10-30 business days | All, manual orders, CSV import |
| Priority | Calculated individually | 2-3 business days (depending on availability) | 3-5 business days (depending on availability) | Order upgrade, Shopify*, WooCommerce, Printify API, manual orders, CSV import |
| Express** | USD 7.99 (+ 2.40 for each additional item) | 2-3 business days (incl. production) | n/a | Etsy, Shopify, Printify Pop-Up Store, Printify API, manual orders, CSV import |
* When using the Printify Shipping Calculator for Shopify.
** Available for Bella+Canvas 3001 and Gildan 5000 T-shirts with front prints.
With Economy or Standard Shipping, domestic orders may occasionally be delivered to a nearby post office or parcel locker instead of straight to the recipient's address. This is normal and doesn't mean anything went wrong with the shipment.
What is Printify's Economy Shipping?
Economy Shipping is the slowest and lowest-cost option, with domestic delivery typically taking 4 to 8 business days. It's built for merchants prioritizing margin over speed, is available for select products and Print Providers, and isn't available for international orders. Once an order ships with Economy Shipping, it can't be upgraded to a faster method. See What is Economy Shipping? for details.
What is Printify's Standard Shipping?
Standard Shipping is the default option across every Printify sales channel, including manual orders and CSV imports. Domestic orders typically arrive in 2 to 5 business days, and international orders in 10 to 30 business days. If the Print Provider supports it, a Standard Shipping order can be upgraded to Priority Shipping after it’s placed.
What is Printify's Priority Shipping?
Priority Shipping offers faster delivery while production time stays the same, with domestic delivery in 2 to 3 business days and international delivery in 3 to 5 business days. Cost is calculated individually per order rather than as a flat rate.
Priority Shipping is available as an order upgrade for Shopify, WooCommerce, Printify API, manual orders, and CSV import. Shopify merchants can also access it directly through the Printify Shipping Calculator.
What is Printify's Express Delivery?
Express Delivery is the fastest paid option, with domestic delivery typically taking 2 to 3 business days, including production time, for USD 7.99 plus USD 2.40 per additional item. It currently only applies to Bella+Canvas 3001 and Gildan 5000 T-shirts with front prints, and it has to be selected at checkout since it can't be added as an upgrade later. See What is Express Delivery, and how does it work? for details.
