3) How does tariffs, fees and taxes affect order costs?

Ordering internationally shouldn't come with stress, surprise fees, or endless customs paperwork. That’s why we offer DDP Shipping (Delivered Duties Paid) — a smarter, smoother way to shop globally. 🌍✨

✅ What Is DDP Shipping?

DDP = Delivered Duties Paid
This means we prepay all import taxes, duties, and government tariffs so you don’t have to.

✔️ No surprise customs bills
✔️ No hidden charges
✔️ No customs forms to fill out

Your order arrives at your door, fully cleared — hassle-free. 🎉

💸 Why It Matters — Let’s Talk Tariffs

In many countries, import fees can be shockingly high — sometimes up to 135% of your order’s value.

For example: A $100 order could cost you an extra $135 in surprise customs charges 😱

With DDP, you pay just 5–10% upfront — and we handle the rest:

  • 🌐 Import duties
  • 🧾 Government tariffs
  • 🛃 Customs clearance paperwork

4) Do you accept 50% deposits?

✅ Yes we do! - 50% deposits available for ALL orders:

  • 50% deposit to begin production
  • 50% balance after final photo proof, before shipping
  • Peace of mind: You’ll see exactly what’s being sent before you pay the remainder!

5)  What is the Minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Most Products Have No MOQ - But larger orders are cheaper per unit!

We believe great ideas shouldn’t be limited by big order requirements.

  • 🛍️ Tip: the bigger the order, the lower the cost per item becomes and ordering more than one product type means you only pay shipping once!
  •  Many of our small goods have no MOQ at all
  • 🔢 If a product does have an MOQ, it usually starts at just 1 to 25 pieces
  • 🧵 MOQ can vary depending on product type, customization, and materials
  • 💡 Want to check the MOQ for a specific product? We’re happy to help email hi@yourstuffmade.com

Examples of Low-MOQ Products

  • Acrylic Charms – no MOQ
  • Enamel Pins – no MOQ
  • Custom Apparel – small runs available for t-shirts, hoodies, etc.
  • Packaging & Stationery – typically low minimums, some as low as 1 unit for samples

We're here to help you create amazing things—whether it's 1 piece or 10,000.

6) Can I see samples before placing an order?

Absolutely! 😄 We totally understand that sometimes you need to see and feel the quality before placing a full order. To help build trust and showcase our ethically manufactured products, we offer several ways to experience our top-tier product quality. Here’s a guide to get started:

How to Get a Sample of Your Product Design:

🛠️ Simply upload your product design order on the product you want and select a quantity of 1 or more. Our team will prepare a custom sample quote for you to review before placing a full order.

7) What happens if an order arrives damaged or has quality issues?

Please let our team know asap as we offer custom solutions depending on the shipping damage and any quality issues hi@yourstuffmade.com

8) What file formats are best to send you for product designs?

For the best quality to match your design .Ai or PNG files work best, but we also accept PDF, JPEG, and PNG.

If design is not your strongest talent:

Simply grab a pen and paper, sketch out your idea, and send it to us. It doesn’t need to be perfect! Our team will take your sketch and convert it into a polished, digital design. This helps avoid endless revisions and brings your vision to life faster. We also offer talented designers you can hire here.

        Product Guide

        The Ultimate Guide to Ordering Custom Shirts for Your Merch Store 👕✨

        When it comes to merch trends, custom shirts will always be a best-seller. They’re versatile, stylish, and functional—perfect for promoting your brand, giving away at events, or stocking up your merch store. Whether you’re a small creator testing your first design or a global brand adding to your product line, making custom shirts should feel exciting, not overwhelming.

        At Yourstuffmade.com, we make it simple. As a B Corp certified, female artist–owned company, we’re proud to support ethical production, fair wages, sustainable materials, and express worldwide delivery. You only need a 50% deposit to get started, making high-quality merch more accessible for everyone.

        Here’s your step-by-step guide to making the perfect shirt:


        Step 1: Prepare Your Design File 🎨

        Your artwork is the foundation of your shirt. To ensure a sharp, professional finish, we recommend sending vector files (AI, PDF, PNG). These guarantee crisp lines and vibrant colors when printed.

        💡 Don’t have a digital file? That’s okay! Send us a quick sketch—even if it’s on scrap paper. Our design team will digitize your idea and help polish it into a production-ready design. This saves time, reduces revisions, and keeps your vision intact.


        Step 2: Pick the Best Printing Method 🖨️

        The right printing method depends on your budget, design complexity, and shirt material.

         

        1. Silk Screen Printing 🎨

        • Best for simple, bold designs (1–2 colors).
        • Ideal for bulk orders because it’s cost-effective.
        • Produces durable, long-lasting prints.

         

        2. Heat Transfer Printing 🔥

        • Perfect for complex or full-color artwork.
        • Great for smaller runs or one-off pieces.
        • May not last as long as screen printing but excellent for event merch or test batches.

        👉 Still unsure? Our team at Yourstuffmade.com will guide you through the best method based on your design, budget, and order size.


        Step 3: Choose Your Shirt Material 🧵

        Fabric makes all the difference. Think about whether your shirts are for daily wear, sports, or promotional giveaways.

        • Combed Cotton 🌿 – Soft, breathable, and durable. Perfect for everyday wear and high-end streetwear.

        • Quick-Dry Fabrics 🏃 – Polyester, nylon, or blends designed for performance and activewear.

        • Organic Cotton or Recycled Polyester 🌱 – Eco-friendly options that support sustainable production.

        📌 Ethical Bonus: At Yourstuffmade.com, our fabrics are sourced through locally owned factories that prioritize sustainability and fair trade practices.


        Step 4: Decide on Your Quantity 📦

        Our minimum order quantity (MOQ) starts at 50 shirts, making it easy for small businesses and indie creators to get started. For larger brands, scaling is no problem—we can handle thousands of units with the same care and efficiency.

        💡 Pro Tip: Ordering 100 pieces or more often reduces your cost per shirt, giving you more value while minimizing waste.


        Step 5: Choose Your Sizes 📏

        Sizing flexibility is key. At Yourstuffmade.com, there are no restrictions on size breakdowns—you can freely mix sizes based on your needs.

        We support US, UK, and Asian sizing. Here’s a quick guide:

        • Small (S): Chest 34–36 in
        • Medium (M): Chest 38–40 in
        • Large (L): Chest 42–44 in
        • Extra Large (XL): Chest 46–48 in
        • Plus Sizes: 1X–4X for inclusivity

        📊 Pro Tip: Use past sales data or customer surveys to order a balanced mix. Larger and mid-range sizes typically sell fastest.
