FAQ

Order Status

Has my order shipped?

Most orders ship out in 2-3 days. We have various vendors but most state a production time of 2-3 days and a Shipping time of 5 to 10 days. We are closed on weekends. You will receive an email when we ship your order that will include your tracking number. This tracking number will become active upon the package being scanned out of the facility by the carrier. Planning further ahead during peak times, (typically February, March, and July through December) will allow your merchandise to arrive when needed.

Custom Order will take extra time. When you place a order or send an email for special designs we will do our best to give a time estimate.  

Why is my order taking longer than expected?

Occasionally, the order fulfillment may take longer than initially expected. This may be caused by one of the following:

The garment is out of stock and needs to be ordered from the supplier (if the delay is just a few days, the Print Providers do not necessarily inform us).

The product did not pass the post-production quality check and needs to be reprinted to ensure a high-quality standard.

The order contains 12 or more items.

However, if your order hasn’t been updated or shipped within 7 business days, please get in touch with our Support team for a status update.

Custom orders can take extra time. This will be discussed upon receipt of design. 

Can the production time be expedited?

Unfortunately, the production time (fulfillment) cannot be expedited.

Cancellation

If the order has been sent to production, it means that the order data has reached the Print Provider, and they may already be working on the order fulfillment. Due to that, it may not be possible to cancel the order free of charge at this point.

Custom orders are not able to be cancelled.

Can I do a custom design that's not on your website?

Yes, you can. Please email your design and quantity request to shopheartline@gmail.com. We will review and determine the best method of embellishment and quote you a price. Keep in mind, we quote these from quantity and number of colors in design, so please supply accurate information so we can quote job one time. Please include the shirt style you want (t-shirt, hoodie, long sleeve, etc.) as well as the quantities and any artwork you have available. Make sure to include all your contact information in this email.

The custom products that are not on the website will require information, for design, wood type, color, images, brands, and so on when the item is purchased. 

Each Custom item will be approved before the item is made.  

My order never arrived.

Before calling or emailing, track your package with the tracking number supplied in the email stating your order has shipped. Keep in mind that if you have not received this email the package hasn't shipped yet. When Tracking, if the package says, “Delivered" YOU must contact the carrier (USPS, FedEx, or UPS) and file a claim, not Heartline. We can only see the same thing you can and cannot be of any more assistance. At this point the carrier is at fault. Many of these carriers can look up timestamps and GPS coordinates where the package(s) were dropped to assist you in locating your package.

Direct to Garment Care

Direct to Garment Care Instructions:

IMPORTANT: Must wash before wearing! We recommend the first wash be alone, no other garments in your machine. Washing will remove any pretreatment that may have been used in the Direct to Garment process. Failure to wash your garment could result in permanent discoloration due to UV exposure. Pretreatment is used to bind the white ink of the design to your garment and is required in Direct to Garment printing. Machine wash cold, inside out with like colors on gentle setting the least amount of time. Tumble dry medium, do not iron, do not dry clean.

Sublimation Items 

How Long do Sublimation Shirts Last?

It depends on how well you take care of your shirt. Take proper care and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Sublimated shirts can offer durability for up to the garment's life if given good care.

How Long do You Wait to Wash a Sublimated Shirt?

Wait at least 24 hours before washing a sublimated shirt. This will allow the ink time to properly set and bond with the fabric. Additionally, doing so will ensure that your vibrant design is smooth when exposed to water and detergent.

If you want an even more durable print job for your sublimated shirt, consider waiting up to 72 hours before putting them in the wash. By giving it an extra few days of curing time, you can rest assured that your designs will remain bright and vibrant for many washes in the future!

How to wash a Sublimation Garment or Cloth Item

Machine Washing
Machine-wash sublimated shirts in cold water, inside-out (slows fading), on a gentle cycle with similar colors and mild detergent. When necessary, only use non-chlorine bleach. Do not use bleach, fabric softeners and dry-cleaning—Tumble-dry on low and iron with a cool setting.

Handwashing
When washing your sublimation items, use cold water and mild detergent. Air-drying in a dry and cool area will also preserve the colors' vibrancy.

Washing Frequency
It is important to note how often you wash your clothes if you wish for your sublimation prints to appear more bright and clear. The more you wash, the sooner the print will fade.

Sublimation Tumblers

 To care for your sublimation tumbler, avoid using the dishwasher, hand wash with mild dish soap, avoid abrasives when washing, and dry immediately after cleaning.
