Delivery & Returns
Deliveries
Back Orders
If an item is marked “Available on Back-Order,” it means we’re temporarily out of stock — but don’t worry, we’ll get straight on it and start making it for you.
Most back-order items are produced and dispatched the next working day, depending on the size of the order. Larger or more complex prints may take a little longer; for example, items with multiple components (such as the XXL T-Rex) require additional print and assembly time. In these cases, we recommend allowing 3–5 working days for completion.
Bulk orders—such as requesting 60 units of the same product—also need extra production time, but we’ll still work as quickly as possible to get everything printed and shipped without delay.
You’re always welcome to place a back order, and you’ll receive your items as fast as our printers can produce them. We aim to keep strong stock levels at all times, but occasionally demand exceeds supply. When that happens, we make your back-order items with priority.
