That means brands, charities, artists, and creators can all sell products to customers around the world, with no minimum order quantities and no need to handle stock. Products are stored in the cloud as data, and printed and shipped by Teemill only after they\u2019re ordered.<\/p><p>Customers shopping through a Teemill store will pay us for the product and delivery, and we'll send you your profits from the order 30 days later.<\/p><p>If you are using an integration, payment happens through your <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/blog\/?search=ecommerce\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">e-commerce<\/a> hosting platform, such as Shopify, and the funds are handled by you. Therefore, when you get an order, we'll charge your saved card for the product and delivery before fulfilling the order, leaving you with the profit.<\/p><p>Either way, the order comes to us, and we'll pick, print, pack and ship it to your customer.<\/p><p>In this guide, we\u2019ll explain how Teemill ships orders around the world and answer the most common questions about delivery.<\/p><p><\/p><h3>TL;DR: International shipping with Teemill<\/h3><ul><li><p>Teemill ships print-on-demand products around the world to most countries, from factories in the UK, US and the EU.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Orders will be routed to the factory closest to the customer, depending on stock availability. <\/p><\/li><li><p>Orders to the US may be shipped from the UK if stock is not available at the US facility.<\/p><\/li><li><p>All EU deliveries are tax paid, and there is no customs duty for orders under \u20ac150. All US deliveries arrive duty-paid. <\/p><\/li><li><p>Orders are sent in plastic-free packaging. <\/p><\/li><li><p>Teemill handles returns, refunds, exchanges and delivery queries for Teemill store customers, whilst integration accounts manage their own customer service.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Teemill sponsors free shipping over \u00a350 for orders to the UK and free shipping over \u00a365 for orders to EU, as well as hosting Free UK Shipping weekends monthly for Teemill stores. These offers are not available for integrations or orders placed through Etsy or TikTok Shop plugins.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/bgd8ecyohrwflywwf18ckuwhtkc4vv8jy7sc9jwvephrvuf2.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/p><p><\/p><h2>Where does Teemill ship to?<\/h2><p>Whilst Teemill is based in the UK, we ship orders to most countries worldwide. Customers can view the full list of countries we can ship to in the checkout when placing their order.<\/p><p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/teemill.com\/store-help\/where-do-you-ship-to\/question\/where-do-you-ship-to\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>This FAQ<\/u><\/a> gives you a full list of countries we currently deliver to.<\/p><p>In a very small number of cases where we are unable to ship to a country, it's normally due to the ability of our couriers or payment processing partners in that territory, or the availability of other services that we require to operate in that country effectively.<\/p><p><\/p><h2>How are orders packaged?<\/h2><p>All orders are shipped in sustainable, eco-friendly packaging, designed with the environment in mind and made with natural materials. They are rip-proof and splash-proof mailers made from paper. Teemill Pro stores will have their logo printed on the shipping label attached to the mailer.<\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/aucncvwczqbqe34vubh1qd4le7xfg330jli5girylzbomnsr.png.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/>Large orders come in cardboard boxes sealed with environmentally friendly tape.<\/p><p>It's not possible to add a physical note or gift message to an order. This is because we don't include physical invoices when the orders are dispatched - less paper!<\/p><p>This means a gift recipient won't know of any pricing\/purchaser information. Customers can, however, use the checkout form to have the order dispatched directly to a gift recipient's address.<\/p><p>All of the information needed to return the item if needed is on the packaging (<em>minus pricing\/purchaser info<\/em>). The confirmation and dispatch emails containing the order's breakdown and pricing info, are sent to the email address used on the checkout form to place the order.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><h2>UK, US and EU delivery<\/h2><p>We have facilities in the US and the EU as well as the UK so that we can print orders as close to the customer as possible, when stock allows.<\/p><p>Sometimes, orders going to the EU or the US will be printed in the UK if stock is not available at other factories closer to the customer\u2019s address.<\/p><p>There are some products that we can only produce and ship from the UK, notably mugs, bottles, notebooks, jigsaw puzzles, art prints and stickers.<\/p><p>Our most popular products, such as the Men\u2019s Basic T-Shirt, Women\u2019s Crew Neck or the Pullover Hoodies, are highly likely to be available in the US reliably, though this is subject to change.<\/p><p>We prefer to avoid splitting orders where possible and so will opt to ship the whole order from the UK if only some items in the order are in stock in the EU or the US.<\/p><p>The packaging and care taken with fulfilment remain the same across our factories, so your customers should not notice any difference in their experience.<\/p><p>The shipping price remains the same for orders to the EU or the US, regardless of where the order ships from, as we are not able to determine which factory will end up printing the order before it's in our system.<\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/kswv22p84eall2baf9tdirntlsxpznlcgeupwjqfkwcpo666.png.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/>All of the shipping information can be found in the cart when placing an order.

All orders going to the US arrive duty paid.<\/p><p><br \/>Any additional charges for customs and\/or import clearance and other handling charges must be paid by you, as we have no control over these charges. If you are placing a bulk order, get in touch with our wholesale team first, who will be able to advise on international shipping for large quantities - <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/uktshirtprinting.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/uktshirtprinting.com\/<\/a><\/p><p><\/p><h2>Lost orders and customer service<\/h2><p>For Teemill stores, our team handles customer service, including 'where is my order?' queries, refunds, returns and exchanges. By contrast, for integration orders, including those placed through Etsy or TikTok, the store owner is responsible for handling customer service. For example, store owners may need to replace or exchange products using their Sample Store manually.<\/p><p>There can sometimes be delays when shipping across borders. For EU orders, the courier recommends a maximum of 28 days from dispatch for orders to arrive before considering these to be lost in transit. For international orders, the maximum is 35 days. If your customers' parcels have not arrived within this time frame, it is our policy to send a replacement.<br \/><\/p><p><\/p><h2><strong>Shipping for integrations and plugins<\/strong><\/h2><p>Teemill store checkouts are automatically populated with the above shipping options but if you are using an integration such as Shopify, you will need to set up shipping profiles within your website hosting platform.

In this case, you will want to increase the price of your listing to cover the price of shipping.<\/p><p>If you are using the TikTok Shop plugin, please note that we are only able to deliver orders placed through TikTok Shop to UK addresses. When setting up the plugin, you will need to add a 'Shipping template' for UK Standard delivery.
