DTF same day shipping from Sumo Transfers gets your orders out fast. Learn how cutoff times, product types, and local pickup options work.
How Does DTF Same Day Shipping Service Work?
When you're working on a tight schedule, every day counts. That’s why same day shipping has become one of the most valuable services in modern DTF production. At Sumo Transfers, same day shipping isn’t a vague promise—it’s a clearly defined, fast-moving system that gets your DTF orders printed, packed, and dispatched the same business day. This guide walks you through exactly how the process works, what qualifies, and how to make sure your order moves out on time.
What Same Day Shipping Means at Sumo Transfers
Same day shipping means your order is printed (if custom), packaged, and handed off to the carrier on the same business day it’s placed—not the next day, not processed overnight. For qualifying items, this ensures your tracking number is active and your shipment is already in motion by the time your workday ends. It’s ideal for print shops, brands, and creators who rely on consistent turnaround and quick delivery windows.
Which Products Qualify for Same Day Fulfillment?
Most of our high-demand products qualify for same day shipping when ordered before cutoff. These include:
- Custom DTF gang sheets (uploaded or created online)
- Ready-to-press designs
- DTF films (hot peel, cold peel, instant peel)
- Powders and inks (white, CMYK sets)
- Precut logo sheets and neck labels
- Some UV DTF items, depending on configuration
Larger equipment (like DTF printers or curing ovens) may require additional freight handling time and are excluded from the same-day rule.
Order Cutoff Times: When You Need to Place Your Order
To qualify for same day shipping, your order must be placed and fully completed before our daily cutoff time—typically around 2:00 PM CST. “Fully completed” means:
- Payment confirmed
- Files successfully uploaded
- Artwork ready to print (not under revision or pending correction)
Orders submitted after the cutoff are processed on the following business day. To avoid missing the window, plan uploads in the morning and double-check confirmation status before the cutoff.
File Readiness and Approval: Common Delays to Avoid
Even if your order is submitted early, missing or unprintable files can disqualify it from same day processing. Here’s how to stay on track:
- Use high-resolution PNGs with transparent background
- Avoid color mode issues (stick with RGB)
- Don’t leave uploads blank in multi-design gang sheets
- Double-check for correct sizing and alignment
If our team has to reach out for clarification or re-upload, your order may be pushed to the next day—even if payment was on time.
Business Days vs. Weekends and Holidays
Sumo Transfers processes and ships orders Monday through Friday. Orders placed on weekends or major U.S. holidays are queued for the next business day. For holiday-related updates, we post cutoff changes on our website in advance. If your schedule is tight around holidays, consider placing your order one day earlier or using our Dallas showroom pickup option.
Shipping Carriers and Tracking: What Happens After Dispatch
We work with reliable carriers such as UPS, FedEx, and USPS. Your shipment leaves our Dallas facility on the same day it's processed and enters the carrier’s network. You’ll receive an email with tracking information once your label is generated. Most customers in the U.S. receive their DTF transfers within 1–4 business days, depending on location and selected shipping method.
Dallas Local Pickup Option: Get Your Order Same Day Without Shipping
If you're in or near the Dallas area, you can skip shipping entirely. Choose Local Pickup at checkout and collect your order from our showroom once it’s ready—often within hours. This is ideal for last-minute jobs, local businesses, or large orders where freight timing is critical. Our team will notify you when your order is packed and available for pickup. Pickup hours follow our regular business schedule.
Exceptions and Volume-Based Handling
Large orders—such as gang sheets over a certain square footage, or orders containing multiple bulk categories—may require extra processing time even if placed before cutoff. This is especially true for high-quantity same-design batches or highly complex uploads. In such cases, we still strive to ship same day, but if extra preparation time is needed, you’ll be contacted promptly with an update.
Common Questions About Same Day DTF Shipping
Here are some quick answers:
- “What if I order at 2:15 PM?” → Your order will ship the next business day.
- “Does custom sizing qualify?” → Yes, as long as the upload and payment are completed on time.
- “Can I combine multiple designs in one order?” → Absolutely. Use a gang sheet to group them.
- “What if my order includes a printer?” → Printers ship separately via freight and follow a different timeline.
- “Is same day shipping free?” → Shipping is free for eligible printers and films (see product pages), but express upgrades may have an added cost.
