PRODUCTION & SHIPPING UPDATES

February 7, 2024

With our brand refresh relaunch, we are thrilled to announce average production and shipping times within 5-7 business days. Since we custom print and ship every order to make sure it's just right, please allow for up to 10 days to receive your order but on average we are fulfilling in about a week's time!

This is an exciting time for GRIDIRON CULTURE with our new branding and new drops hitting and we are thankful for your support throughout the years!

It's not a game, it's a LIFESTYLE!

What a challenging time for everyone. Despite the occasional (ok, frequent)  doubts about continuing with our almost year-long ambition to start this new business amidst the global pandemic that is COVID-19, we are thankful we moved past the thoughts of starting a business during these times. Those 3-a-day sweltering summer practices and endless hill climbs, up-downs, and burpees have made an impact after all : ) We are so grateful for your support and trust as we launch and work through this challenging time. We remain positive to come out of this stronger to better serve you, our TEAMMATES. Thank you again for being the backbone of the GRDIRON. 

Stay safe and healthy!

(Please also see below updates for more info on progress through production)

We had hoped to actually be "live" and up and running prior to July 4th, but with continual production delays we've had to push back. We have been hesitant to launch this new business without being able to assure you, our Teammates, that we could provide our products in a timely manner. We have gotten much closer to that goal, while also factoring in that these production and shipping timelines appear to be here for a lot longer than expected. So we ask for your patience and understanding (yes that's a big ask from a new company that you don't have history with yet) as we work through this together. Just know we are doing everything in our power to reduce these timelines and ensure quality products are delivered to your doorstep. 

  • We continue to search for different printers and suppliers for our products. This is based on our commitment to offering you HIGH QUALITY apparel (no junk). Part of our delays have been having to switch production from ones that did not deliver what we expect. 
  • Many printers have reduced their production time. It's still a lot longer than normal, but it's improved.  
  • The quality of our products has not and will not change. We have had to make slight adjustments to our shirts meaning not all of them will have our CUSTOM heat transferred neck label printed inside the shirts. But the shirt material and quality will NOT change. Rest assured they are STILL the same PREMIUM quality shirts as the ones which have our custom GRDIRON label. 
  • SOME SIZES are EXTREMELY LIMITED. As you know, we love the big boys up front and pride ourselves on having great selection in 3XL & 4XL. HOWEVER, they are tough to find now across the country with most manufacturers.  
  • ORDER PROCESSING & SHIPPING is still delayed right now. Aveage production and delivery time is as follows:
  • Premium blend t-shirts: 5-7 AVG Business Days to be processed (plus shipping time).
  • Premium blend EXTENDED SIZE t-shirts: 7-12 AVG Business Days to be processed (plus shipping time).
  • Performance shirts: 5-7 AVG Business Days to be processed (plus shipping time).
  • Masks/sweatshirts/hats: 7-10 AVG Business Days to be processed (plus shipping time). 
  • Your order will likely arrive in separate shipments and packaging. This way we can be sure you will get whatever parts of your order are produced first, right away, from each facility. The delayed items will ship out as soon as they are able to after that. 
  • Any inquiries via email, chat, or contact form you send us will be responded to as quickly as we possibly can.  

We will continue to post any relevant updates here as we receive them, in addition to our Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook pages.  

Stay safe and healthy!

Allow us to start the UPDATES by saying “Thank you” for backing us and supporting us. Here are the important details you need to know:

  • We use different printers and suppliers for our products. This is based on our commitment to offering you HIGH QUALITY apparel (no junk). 
  • Almost ALL of these printers have experienced significant disruption to their businesses. They are universally receiving MORE orders, with LESS staff hours, and MORE restrictions to wade through in turning out the products. 
  • We ONLY work with printers who put the safety of their employees FIRST, above all else. 
  • Due to the shortage of some materials from the printers, we have had to make slight adjustments to our shirts. In particular, not all of them will have our CUSTOM heat transferred neck label printed inside the shirts.
  • Rest assured they are STILL the same PREMIUM quality shirts as the ones which have our custom GRDIRON label. 
  • Some sizes may be limited or reduced. We absolutely do NOT discriminate against the big boys and pride ourselves on having great selection in 3XL & 4XL, but this may not temporarily be the case. 
  • ORDER PROCESSING & SHIPPING is delayed right now. Orders may be delayed up to 15 Business Days to be processed and shipped to you. That is the higher end of the timetable but still possible. 
  • Rest assured we are constantly working to research and vet different suppliers and printers to minimize that time. 
  • Remember this will NOT be permanent. Our printers are working their tails off to reduce these times and will need some time to "catch up" as they are recently opened across the country. This is likely the "start of the second half" in terms of when they can get back to standard capacity.  
  • FIFO - we work on the oldest orders first, then work our way to the most recent ones. If you haven't yet received your order be assured it is in the queue.
  • Any inquiries via email, chat, or contact form you send us will be responded to as quickly as we possibly can. Trust me, we are a company of great "urgency" (sorry for the coach-speak) and want to address any and all questions and concerns in a timely manner. Right now due to the current influx of requests, please give us some time to look into your inquiry and get back to you. You will NOT be ignored - guaranteed. 

We will continue to post any relevant updates here as we receive them, in addition to our Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook pages.
We are so grateful for your patience and trust as we worked through this challenging time. We are thrilled that so many people are sharing our passion for this game and what our products represent, but we certainly wish it was under happier circumstances. 

Stay safe and healthy!
