You can reach every pickup location at (469) 769-8949. Check each location's hours and pickup method on the pickup locations page, and choose the most convenient location when placing your order.
Does DTF Dallas offer local pickup?
Yes, DTF Dallas offers free local pickup for completed orders at six locations: Richardson, Argyle, Carrollton, Lucas, Mesquite, and Oak Cliff. Select the pickup option during checkout and wait for the order-ready notification before traveling to collect your order.
Is DTF Dallas pickup available 24/7?
Richardson pickup is available 24/7 through secure lockers once the DTF Dallas order-ready notification arrives. Some additional pickup locations offer 24/7 secure locker pickup, while others operate during specific business hours, so check your selected location's hours and pickup method on the pickup locations page before arriving.
Is local pickup really in Dallas?
The DTF Dallas production facility is in Richardson, Texas, within the Dallas–Fort Worth area, at 801 Alpha Dr, Ste 112. Customers across the metro can also use the pickup locations in Argyle, Carrollton, Lucas, Mesquite, and Oak Cliff instead of driving to Richardson.
Does local pickup cost extra?
No, DTF Dallas local pickup does not add a shipping charge. Choose pickup at checkout when you prefer to collect the order from Richardson instead of having it shipped.
Can customers outside Richardson use local pickup?
Yes, DTF Dallas local pickup is available to customers from Dallas, Richardson, Plano, Garland, Frisco, Arlington, Denton County, and other DFW communities. Choose whichever location is most convenient: Richardson, the Argyle lockers for the Highway 377 corridor and Denton County, the Carrollton lockers for the northwest metro, Lucas for Collin County, Mesquite for the east side, or Oak Cliff for south Dallas.
Can I pick up DTF transfers, blank apparel, and custom shirts together?
Yes, products included in the same completed DTF Dallas order can be collected together when the full order is ready. The final ready time can depend on the item with the longest production or preparation requirement.
Is the Richardson location a retail storefront or a pickup facility?
The DTF Dallas Richardson facility offers walk-in shopping for available blank apparel and access to the free heat press room during staffed hours, and completed orders can also be collected from the secure lockers 24/7 after the order-ready notification.
The additional locations in Argyle, Carrollton, Lucas, Mesquite, and Oak Cliff operate as pickup points rather than production facilities; some offer 24/7 secure locker pickup while others keep specific business hours, so check the pickup locations page and contact the team before visiting any location for anything other than collecting a ready order.
Can I pick up my order before I receive the ready notification?
No, wait until DTF Dallas confirms that the order is ready. A placed or paid order can still be printing, curing, quality-checked, packed, or moved into the pickup area.
Same-Day Production
Does DTF Dallas offer same-day DTF printing?
Yes. Print-ready DTF Dallas orders placed before 2:00 PM CT, Monday through Saturday, can be produced and shipped the same day. For local pickup, follow the cutoff and collection hours of your selected location and wait for the order-ready notification. Artwork problems, unavailable products, incomplete information or requested changes can affect when an order is ready to enter production.
What is the same-day cutoff for DTF Dallas?
The DTF Dallas same-day cutoff is 2:00 PM CT. Always use CT when planning the order, and place it earlier when you have a fixed event, customer deadline, or large production run.
What are the pickup cutoff times at each location?
Same-day timing depends on the service: Richardson same-day pickup follows the 2:00 PM CT cutoff, while orders placed by 5:00 AM CT are eligible for same-day pickup at the participating Argyle, Carrollton, Lucas, Mesquite, and Oak Cliff locations. Always wait for the DTF Dallas order-ready notification before heading out, and check your selected location's hours and pickup method on the pickup locations page before arriving.
Can I still choose pickup if I order after 2:00 PM CT?
Yes, but orders placed after 2:00 PM CT generally move into the next DTF Dallas production queue. Completed orders can be collected according to the hours of the selected pickup location, and same-day eligibility does not mean an after-cutoff order will be produced immediately.
Is 24/7 pickup limited by the 2:00 PM CT cutoff?
No, the 2:00 PM CT cutoff concerns same-day production or shipping eligibility, not the hours when a completed order can be collected. Richardson pickup is accessible 24/7 through secure lockers after an order has been marked ready, and the other DTF Dallas locations follow the hours and access methods shown on the pickup locations page.
Does same-day printing guarantee that my order will be ready at a specific hour?
No, same-day eligibility does not guarantee a particular completion time. Production timing depends on order size, file readiness, product availability, and the current DTF Dallas queue, so wait for the ready notification before heading to Richardson.
Are all DTF Dallas products eligible for same-day turnaround?
Many print-ready DTF Dallas transfer, gang sheet, UV DTF, blank apparel, and in-stock custom apparel orders can follow the same-day workflow. Complex artwork, unavailable sizes or colors, special requests, and large quantities can require additional time.
Do custom apparel orders follow the same turnaround as transfer orders?
In-stock custom apparel generally follows the same turnaround as DTF transfer orders. The DTF Dallas order can take longer when a garment size or color is unavailable, the artwork needs correction, or the project requires approval or special placement instructions.
Can a large gang sheet order still be completed the same day?
A large print-ready gang sheet order can still qualify for same-day production, but capacity and file readiness matter. Contact DTF Dallas before placing a time-sensitive high-volume order so the team can review the quantity and deadline.
Pickup Process and Timing
How do I choose local pickup at checkout?
Select the local pickup option when it appears during DTF Dallas checkout and complete the order normally. Use accurate contact information because the order-ready message and pickup instructions will be sent using the details attached to the order.
How will I know when my DTF order is ready for pickup?
DTF Dallas will send an order-ready notification after production and packing are complete. Do not treat the checkout confirmation as a pickup confirmation; wait for the separate ready message.
Can I place an order at night and pick it up immediately?
You can place an online order at any time, but it cannot be collected until production is complete and DTF Dallas marks it ready. The 24/7 locker access at Richardson, Argyle, Carrollton, and Lucas refers to collecting completed orders, not instant production at every hour.
Can I pick up an order on weekends or holidays?
Free pickup is available at six DTF Dallas DFW locations after your order-ready notification: Richardson, Argyle, Carrollton and Lucas offer 24/7 locker access, Mesquite pickup is available Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, and Oak Cliff pickup is available every day, 7:00 AM–9:00 PM. Production schedules can differ on holidays, so place deadline-sensitive orders early and rely on the ready notification rather than an estimated pickup time.
What information should I have when collecting my order?
Keep your order confirmation and the DTF Dallas pickup instructions available when you arrive. Make sure you are collecting the correct package and verify the order details before leaving the pickup area.
What should I do if I cannot find my pickup order?
Follow the instructions in the ready notification and confirm that you are at the pickup location stated in your order instructions.
Keep your order number available. During staffed business hours, speak with the DTF Dallas team on site; outside those hours, contact info@dtfdallas.com or (469) 769-8949 and provide the order number and a clear description of the issue.
Complete order information supports faster, more responsive assistance and clearer communication when resolving a pickup concern.
How long will my order be held in the pickup area?
Completed DTF Dallas orders wait securely in the pickup area after the ready notification is sent, so collect the package promptly once it is ready. Contact DTF Dallas at info@dtfdallas.com if you cannot pick the order up for an extended period, and the team will make arrangements.
Can another person collect my order?
Another person can collect the package when they have the correct order information and can follow the DTF Dallas pickup instructions. For a high-value, large, or time-sensitive order, contact DTF Dallas in advance so there is no confusion at collection.
Pickup or Shipping
Should I choose local pickup or shipping?
Choose local pickup when you can travel to the DTF Dallas facility in Richardson and want to avoid transit time and shipping charges. Choose shipping when the location is inconvenient or you need the package delivered directly to a home, shop, customer, or event location.
Does DTF Dallas ship orders the same day?
Print-ready DTF and UV DTF orders placed before 2:00 PM CT, Monday through Saturday, ship the same day and arrive within one to two business days anywhere in the U.S., with two business days as the guaranteed maximum. The delivery window starts when the print-ready order is placed. If UPS Ground cannot meet that window, DTF Dallas upgrades the shipment to air at its own cost. Only carrier and weather delays are excluded.
