YOUR SATISFACTION IS OUR PRIORITY
For the past 17 years The T Shirt Man has been printing t-shirts, hoodies, sweaters, jackets and polo shirts for many large and small companies, individuals and groups throughout the UK.
We came to realise very quickly that if we were able to offer a service that delivered the product the customer wanted in the correct time frame on budget then there was not much that could go wrong with growing the business.
So with this in mind we created a promise to always deliver your items at least a day before they are needed where possible. Eg. If you order is requested for Friday it will be delivered on Thursday
Our focus on customer satisfaction has seen our company not on survive but to exceed all our expectations since we started way back in 2006
If you need some immediate help with your order please contact us on 02392 984 667 for instant help and confirmation that we will be able to deliver your order. Otherwise I hope the following FAQ will be able to help you.
The T Shirt Man aims to be the UK’s fastest t shirt printer, if you are in need of an order to be with you tomorrow or the end of the week we can guarantee the exact date that you will receive the order.
On our rush or next day service garments can be printed and dispatched the same day for next day delivery.
If you do not notify us of an express delivery our standard turnaround time of 3 – 5 working days which don’t include weekends or bank holidays. You will be given an estimated completion date when your order is processed. If an order is needed by a certain date it must be stated on both the order form and verbally over the phone when payment is being made.
Monday to Friday: 8 a.m.-8 p.m.
Sat.-Sun.: CLOSED
Our store opening hours are based around a normal working day from 9am until 5pm however we have our phone diverted to a managers mobile when the office is closed. We no longer accept customers visiting our offices and all orders must be placed either online or via email.
Unless specifically agreed, all invoices are payable immediately before garments go into production.
We accept all major debit & credit cards as well as AMEX and Paypal (Max. Paypal Transaction £450) .
When placing an order with The T Shirt Man the customer accepts sole responsibility for copyright and the reproduction of images. It is deemed you are the owner / have permission to reproduce artwork files.
At the customer’s request we can send a proof sheet to you to approve prior to printing which displays the print size, position & print colours. Scale may not be 100% accurate so please check the dimensions & measure if necessary. If you decide to change something please make sure you receive updated proofs.
This is not always an option where fast turnaround orders are placed and so full discussion must be over the phone as well as dimensions of print to be emailed to us.
We cannot accept responsibility for any mistakes that are made on the proof sheet in the final print, so please check this very carefully. We cannot guarantee that the digital colours displayed on proof sheets are completely accurate. Monitor colours vary a lot so cannot be 100% certain we are both seeing the same colour. For custom mixed ink it’s pretty essential that you check colours against a printed Pantone Solid Coated book for accurate colour referencing. We cannot accept responsibility for a colour not matching your original artwork if the ink colour matches the Pantone colour / ink colour you approved. If you approve a proof sheet, we will assume you have checked the ink colour against a Pantone guide & all is OK.
If you want to cancel an order it’s best to contact us ASAP to avoid charges. If you cancel the order prior to stock being ordered then you will be entitled to a full refund. If stock has been ordered then there would be a 25% restocking fee on the price of the garments. If production has started then you will be entitled to a refund minus the material & labour costs incurred. If the items have already been produced, due to them being custom products you will not be able to cancel the order.
The T Shirt Man uses a variety of printing methods but when screen printing we use soft plastisol inks for light garments & a discharge under base with soft plastisol on top for dark’s. This enables us to have a soft, bright, breathable print on light & dark coloured garments, which is our preferred finish. If you are using a blended garment (less than 80% cotton) or a garment dyed with non dis chargeable dye (typically purple, green & blue shirts won’t discharge) then we have to use a low bleed plastisol ink which will give a heavier print finish, the ink will be sitting on top of the fabric rather than a part of it. If you have a preference to what print finish you require, be sure to tell us when ordering & we’ll make sure the print is exactly how you want it! If you prefer a soft print ask for water based / discharge inks, if you prefer a heavier print ask for plastisol.
We don’t offer an all over printing / sublimation service unfortunately. We currently only offer screen printing. Our maximum print size is 40cm x 53cm.
Due to the set up involved with screen printing we don’t offer a sample of a screen printed garment, we can however offer customers a vinyl printed sample at the cost of £20.00, although not printed with the same method the size and t shirt will be the same. This should eliminate potential problems.
We always try our utmost to send all garments in the correct sizes and 99.9% of orders leave our studio on time and with the correct number of garments in the correct sizes, however there are times and it is something that happens more often with the fast 24 hour turnaround garments that if we are missing a size or we have been given the wrong product by our supplier. In this scenario we always contact the customer to see what is the best option but when we are unable to contact the customer we always try and send additional garments (eg. Missing an L we shall send a M & XL so the individual can choose the best fitting garment).
We try to keep our pricing as simple as possible; we can quote for 90% of orders over the phone instantly due to our simple pricing structure.
We offer a clear and simple pricing without any hidden costs, fees, or fine print.
We have made the quotation system as simple as possible however the price we give over the phone cannot be a 100% accurate until all information has been emailed over and confirmed.
When it comes to pricing your quote, there are five things we consider:
- Quantity
- Garment Style
- Colour of garment
- Print Colour &Complexity
- Printing Method
Turnaround Time
Tip: If you’re looking to save money, a basic white t shirt with printing on one side would be your cheapest possible option and will lower your cost pretty significantly; however a dark coloured t shirt with a multiple colour print would work out costly.
