Can You Make a Rush Order?

Can you make a rush order?

Yes. Rush production is a flat $125 and typically saves about a week, bringing delivery to roughly two weeks from design approval instead of three. Whether a rush is possible depends on your quantity, your required date, and current production capacity, so send us your in-hands date as early as you can and we will confirm what is achievable.

Before you pay for it: standard delivery is already 21 days or less from design approval with free express shipping included. A good share of what people call a rush fits inside the normal timeline. We will tell you which situation you are in rather than selling you a rush you do not need.

Standard vs rush at a glance

	Standard	Rush
Rush fee	None	$125 flat
Express shipping and duties	Included	Included
Delivery after design approval	21 days or less	Typically about a week faster
Grip socks	28 days or less	Typically about a week faster
Availability	Always	Depends on quantity, date and current capacity

Note where the clock starts in both columns: design approval, not your first email. Everything before approval moves at the speed of your replies, which is the part most people underestimate and the part most within your control.

How to give a rush its best chance

The $125 buys you production speed. These buy you the rest, roughly in order of impact:

Send your in-hands date first. Not after the designs come back. Knowing the deadline from the start changes what we recommend and lets us check capacity before you are committed.
Approve quickly. A customer who replies within hours can be a week ahead of one who replies in three days, before production has even started. That is the same week the rush fee buys, available free.
Send print-ready artwork. Vector files (.ai, .eps, .svg, .pdf) with your colours specified mean fewer rounds. Highly detailed artwork that needs simplifying adds them back.
Decide sizes up front. Changing your size split after approval sets things back. Know whether you are doing One Size Fits Most or a split before you approve.
Keep the quantity realistic. A larger run takes longer. If the date is immovable, a smaller batch for the event with the balance to follow is often the answer.

What we won't do

We will not promise a date we do not believe in just to take the order, and we will not skip the approval step or ship something you have not signed off on. If your deadline is not achievable, even with a rush, we would rather tell you on day one so you can plan around it than have you find out in week three.

When a date genuinely cannot be met, we will offer the best solution or options available at the time.

Planning ahead, if you have the luxury

For a dated event, work backwards: take your in-hands date, count back 21 days for production and delivery, then give yourself another week for design and approval. Four to five weeks out is comfortable and costs you nothing extra. If you aren’t sure, just let us know your in-hands date right away so we can advise the best date to place your order.

If you don't know the exact deadline, collaborate with our designers to finalize the design ahead of time so that we can hit ‘go’ on production when the time comes.

Frequently asked questions

Can you rush a custom sock order?

Yes. Rush production is a $125 flat fee and typically saves about a week. Whether it is possible depends on your quantity, required date, and current production capacity, so send your in-hands date as early as possible and we will confirm what is achievable.

How much is the rush fee for custom socks?

$125 flat. Express shipping and duties remain included, as on every order.

How much faster is a rush order?

Typically about a week, so roughly two weeks from design approval rather than three.

How long do custom socks normally take?

21 days or less from design approval, with free express delivery. Grip socks take up to 28 days. Your free design concept comes back within one business day of your request.

When does the production clock start?

When you approve the final design, not when you first contact us. The design stage moves at the speed of your replies, so approving quickly can save as much time as the rush fee buys.

What's the fastest way to get custom socks?

Send your in-hands date up front, send vector artwork with your colours specified, approve the design quickly, decide your sizes before approval, and add the rush if the date needs it.

What if my deadline can't be met even with a rush?

We will say so up front and offer the best solution or options available at the time. We will save your logo and design on file for future projects and orders.

Does express shipping cost extra?

No. Express shipping and duties are included free on all orders, including rush orders. The only extra charge on a rush order is the $125 rush fee.

Have a date?

Send us your in-hands date and what you need, and we will confirm within one business day whether it is achievable, with or without the rush, along with free design concepts.
