Print on demand shipping costs by country
What it costs to get a printed product to the customer — 194 products across 65 destinations, pulled from supplier APIs rather than estimated. Product prices elsewhere on this site exclude shipping; this is the other half of the bill.
Standard shipping, in USD, verified Sep 18, 2026 from Printify's API. Cost of the first item in an order, plus each additional item.
Headline finding
The same order ships for $5.39 inside the US and $12.99 to Australia — typically 30 days before dispatch against 5 in the US.
Median first-item cost across every product we can quote. Sellers who price a single flat shipping rate worldwide absorb that difference out of margin.
Shipping cost by destination
Across every product we can quote to each destination. "Typical" is the median first-item cost — the range shows how much product type and provider move it.

The factory you pick changes the shipping bill
Printify routes the same blank through different print providers, each shipping on its own carrier contract from its own country. Picking the provider is a shipping decision as much as a print-quality one, and most sellers never see these numbers side by side. The dearest option is usually a factory in another country — the "ships cheapest to" note below each name is where that provider is based, inferred from the destination it reaches for the least money.

What this means for how you price
A single worldwide shipping rate costs you money. If you charge one flat rate and it covers the US, every international order eats the difference — $7.60 per order on the median product shipped to Australia. Charging by destination, or building the difference into the product price for international markets, is the fix.
The second item is where the margin is. Additional items in the same order ship for roughly half the first item's cost, sometimes less. A two-item bundle is nearly always better business than two single-item orders, which is why "buy two, save" works better than a discount code in this niche.
Handling time is not shipping time. The days shown above are the wait before an order is dispatched. Transit is on top. For Christmas that matters more than the price does — see the Q4 calendar.
Frequently asked questions
How much does print on demand shipping cost in the US?
Across the 193 products we track to the United States, standard shipping costs a median of $5.39 for the first item, ranging from $4.95 to $46.79. Each additional item in the same order costs less. Figures verified Sep 18, 2026 from Printify's API.
How much more does it cost to ship print on demand outside the US?
Median standard shipping for the first item is $5.39 to the United States, $9.69 to Canada and $12.99 to Australia. Handling time also stretches: typically 30 days before dispatch on Australian orders against 5 in the US.
Does the print provider change the shipping cost?
Yes. For the Gildan 18000 shipped to Germany, Atelier Katanga charges $7.79 for the first item while Prima Printing charges $62.99 — a $55.20 difference on an identical blank, because each provider ships on its own carrier contract from its own country.
Is shipping included in the product prices on this site?
No. Every price in the directory is the cost of one printed unit before shipping, so that suppliers stay comparable. Shipping is quoted separately here because it depends on where the order is going.
Methodology and limits
Every figure is standard shipping in USD, read from Printify's catalog API and stored with the date it was observed. It is what the supplier charges you, the seller — not what you charge your customer. Express and economy tiers exist and are not collected here. Where a blank's sizes or colours ship at different rates, the range column carries the spread.
This covers one supplier. Printify is the only supplier in the directory that publishes per-country shipping through an API we can read; Gelato exposes shipping methods but quotes prices only inside a full order, and the rest publish nothing machine-readable. Printful posts flat rates by region on its own shipping page, which is worth checking alongside these figures. Treat this as the shape of POD shipping costs, verified for one large supplier, rather than the whole market. Free to cite with a link to this page.
