Fulfillment & Global Shipping

SHOP APP USERS: Starting on January 1, 2025, the Shop channel will automatically collect, remit, and file taxes for all orders shipping to or within the United States. The Shop channel collects taxes on orders in all states (including the District of Columbia) that administer statewide sales tax, as well as Alaska local sales tax. 

NOTE: For non-Shop app users, taxes are only collected if you are an Ohio resident as Explorers Republic LLC (aka Interswag) is an Ohio LLC. 

  • After placing an order, we'll email confirmation that we have received your order and will begin production. 
  • Each item is custom printed, embroidered, sublimated or laser-engraved by hand, one-by-one, in Akron, Ohio.
  • We'll print and ship your order usually within 15 business days. 
  • Fleece, outerwear and polos are embroidered by our partners, which adds 10 business days to our normal fulfillment process. 
  • If your order consists of apparel / caps / accessories and fleece, outerwear or polos we'll hold the order until we receive the embroidered items and ship everything together. 
  • When we print the shipping label, you're emailed tracking codes. 

    If your item is out of stock at our suppliers, or if it will be delayed beyond what has been stated, we reserve the right to substitute products with similar composition based on availability and ship times.  If that is not possible, you'll be notified by email as soon as we know your options.

    US Domestic Shipping

    We ship via USPS and UPS for all domestic orders. Every order has a tracking number that indicates the estimated arrival date once the package is received by the carrier. 

    As each package is the weight of its contents, inserts and packaging, these are our current (as of 10.15.24) shipping rates. 
     
    (A) Standard Shipping (0.1 lb - 0.99 lb): $8.00
    (B) Standard Shipping (1.0 lb - 1.5 lb): $11.00
    (C) Standard Shipping (1.6 lb - 2.0 lb): $13.00
    (D) Standard Shipping (2.1 lb - 3.0 lb): $16.00

    International Shipping

    We ship globally using DHL and UPS with their real-time discounted rates offered at checkout. 

    All international taxes, (including VAT and import taxes), duties and customs are handled at checkout. 

    Shopify considers the "Market" to be where an order is being shipped.

    By example, if you are in the US and shipping to Australia, the checkout will show everything in AUD and include the import tax.

    However, assuming you have a US-based credit card, you will be charged in USD and not AUD. 

    Global-e is the Merchant of Record for all international orders shipped from the US-based ASL Alumni Store.
