Printing with Threadbird is not a requirement in order to use our fulfillment services. Each service is separate and you can either use one, or both.

Is There a Contract Associated With Fulfillment?

Yes, however you are free to leave with a 20 days notice, but you will be responsible for the cost of shipping all remaining products back to you. All outstanding invoices must be paid before your product is shipped back. 

Can I Include Free Items With My Order? (Stickers, Wristbands, Etc)

We can include one (1) small item in each package at no extra charge. Anything more than that may require a small additional fee. 

Can I Sell Items Other Than T-shirts?

Will the Packing Slip and Shipping Label Be Branded? Will Anything Else Come With the Package?

Our standard packaging includes a blank white polybag or blank box. It will have your name listed over our address as the shipper for all domestic shipments.

How Can I Get Items From My Inventory Sent Directly To Me?

All we need is an email with the request, the shipping address, and how quickly it needs to arrive. We will bill you for the costs of shipping, plus a small handling fee (either normal fulfillment fees or up to $6 per box).
