Part 1
Our Products
We print on demand which basically means when we receive your order we work with our numerous partners to fulfill it sustainably.
We work with facilities on both US coasts—in Charlotte, North Carolina and Los Angeles, California. We also have fulfillment centers in Canada, Mexico, Latvia, Spain, and fulfillment partners in Australia and Japan. This allows us to send products out closer to their final destination than ever before!
We use water based and eco-friendly inks in a process called DTG, or direct-to-garment. This makes the feel much softer than traditional screen printed shirts, but just as durable. We’re using CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act) compliant inks, which are required when printing on children’s wear 12 and below.
We source all our products and fabrics from ethical brands and suppliers that comply to strict labor, environmental, and safety standards. To learn more about the brands we work with, click their names here: Bella+Canvas | Gildan.

When unpacking a new garment with a direct-to-garment (DTG) print, you might notice a vinegar-like smell or an off-white residue. Don’t worry, that’s not unusual – it’s from a fixation agent applied during the printing process and it’s not permanent. They will both disappear after the first wash.
If you receive a product with a stain – please wash it before reporting a problem.
We work with a print-on-demand drop shipper. They have locations worldwide, so depending on where you are, your orders are printed and shipped from the facility that can do it most efficiently!
We exclusively sell through cuisitive.com so let us know if you have found our products elsewhere. Quality is paramount to us and by selling through our own website this is ensured.
Part 2
Your order
100%! We use Stripe’s payment gateway which is world renowned and we also have full SSL (Let’s Encrypt) which guarantees peace of mind when buying through us.
We work with several big names depending on the destination. These include FEDEX, DHL, USPS and DPD.
Each item we ship may have different delivery times. This is because some products are packaged and shipped separately. E.g. we send our posters in super-durable tubes, and a hoodie or mug won’t fit in there. Or a scented candle may be made and shipped from one location, while a t-shirt is printed and shipped from another.
No, Cuisitive isn’t available in some countries because of legal restrictions or shipping carrier limitations. Unfortunately we do not ship to the following countries and territories currently.

The average shipping time is 11 business days depending on the delivery destination.
When you enter checkout on our site, you will be given an estimate delivery time period based on your location.
We use Live rates which are real-time shipping rates, displayed during the order checkout. These rates are calculated by the order fulfillment location, shipping destination, shipping method, and carrier pricing so be sure we are always up to date when it comes to our shipping.
International shipments may incur customs fees. The customs policy is different in each country, and the fee is usually based on a variety of factors like weight, value, and size. We do not take responsibility for customs fees. The majority of our destinations do not incur extra fees but please check first or drop us a message here on the live chat in the website.
