Frequently Asked Questions
Does this funny gift shirt run true to size?
Yes! It features a standard unisex retail fit. We recommend ordering your usual size for a normal fit, or sizing up one or two sizes if you prefer a trendier, baggy, oversized graphic tee look.
Will the meme graphic peel off or crack after washing?
Not at all. We use high-quality DTG printing that bonds the ink directly into the fabric fibers, ensuring the joke lasts for years without heavy fading or peeling.
Is this shirt actually comfortable or is it just a cheap gag gift?
Both! While the message is a hilarious joke, the quality is serious. It’s made from incredibly soft, breathable ring-spun cotton that they will actually want to wear all day.
Can I send this directly to someone as a surprise present?
Absolutely. Just enter their shipping address at checkout. Our standard packing slips do not include pricing, making it a seamless and hilarious surprise delivery.
How long does shipping take for an upcoming birthday?
Production usually takes 2-3 business days, with standard US shipping adding another 3-5 days. Order about a week and a half in advance to ensure your "box" arrives right on time!
