US Factory Direct vs. Overseas Drop-Shipper: Why You Should Choose American Speed and Price
The Custom T-Shirt Dilemma: Speed, Cost, or Quality?
For years, customers had to choose: cheap overseas quality (slow), expensive local rush (fast), or a confusing online vendor (unpredictable). As a US-based factory, CusPrinting has engineered a solution that delivers all three: Speed, Low Shipping Cost, and Guaranteed US Quality.
| Feature | CusPrinting (US Factory Direct) | Overseas Drop-Shipper | Local Print Shop (Small) |
| Delivery Time | 2-3 Days Nationwide | 2-4+ Weeks (Customs Risk) | 5-10 Days (Varies by load) |
| Shipping Cost | As Low as $2.50 | High/Unpredictable | Often Flat-Rate/High |
| Quality Control | American Standards (High) | Inconsistent/Low Visibility | Varies by Shop |
| Process | Factory Direct (Fastest) | Broker/Middleman (Slow) | Local Overhead (Higher Price) |
The Hidden Risks of Ordering Custom T-Shirts Internationally
The initial low price from a foreign supplier is often an illusion. You risk:
-
Shipping Blackout: No tracking updates, lost packages, and weeks of delay.
-
Customs Fees: Surprise charges that inflate your final bill.
-
Irreparable Errors: A printing mistake means you have no time for a reprint or replacement before your event.
