SHIPPING

How much is shipping?

  • This depends on the product ordered, the total weight, and where we're shipping to.  We are using USPS shipping from Chino California Warehouse for all orders in the USA-Our standard USPS shipping cost depends on weight, however we are giving free shipping. Also  we use m different warehouses overseas, when USA is out of stock. If you order over 50$ Shipping is Free.

Do you ship internationally?

  • We currently do  offer international shipping, shipping prices depends on items purchased and weight of package. If you order over 50$ Shipping is Free.

How do I track my package?

  • You will receive and order confirmation once you make a purchase, then once your package is ready to ship you will receive a tracking number, which you can click and it will open the tracking page. We're only using USPS for shipping to  USA, so you can track by going to the USPS website. 
  • You can check on the status of your order at any time by emailing the customer support desk at customersupport@purplecultures.com or nelsonvittini1@gmail.com

How long does it take for an order to arrive?

  • This depends on the product ordered. Most of our t-shirts and apparel products are printed on demand.  It typically takes about 7-10 days to get your shirt printed, shipped, and delivered. All shirts ship from our US print facility and travel via UPS to your address, tracking numbers available. 
  • For non-apparel items, delivery can vary and take 5 to 15 days in the USA and 2 to 4  weeks International. We use manufacturers all over the world to bring unique and specialty items to our customers, so not everything comes from the US. These items ship fairly fast and all have tracking numbers. You will be provided with the link to track your package in real time.
  • If you're still not sure, just email us. We're happy to help.

I ordered 2+ items, but only received one... where's my order?

  • Since we print on demand and we have a large assortment of products not stocked in house, when you order multiple items at a time, they may be shipped separately. You may receive one item before the next. So don't panic if you don't receive all of your items at once…they are on the way. 

SHIRTS & APPAREL

What type of t-shirts do you print on?

  • We print on the finest, softest, comfiest tees... Port & Co. Supply all of our products.

How are your shirts printed?

  • We use a world class infrastructure for screen printing, DTG printing, and sublimation. The style of printing is determined by the product you purchased. Our primary print style is Direct to Garment (DTG), which is a method where the printer directly applies ink onto the t-shirt with inkjet technology.
    • Understanding DTG Printing: It involves a special printer, which prints the ink directly onto the garment for the design. DTG uses specialty inks, which are absorbed by the fibers of the garment. This allows high quality and colorful designs, plus fast turnaround.

NON-APPAREL ITEMS

Where do your other items come from?

  • Purple Cultures is all about bringing you unique and specialty items that you won't find anywhere else. So we source items from all over the world. Because while some of our items do come from right here is the US, there are many items that are simply not available stateside. To keep a diverse group of products you will love, we go far and wide to find the best manufacturers designing the coolest stuff.
