Although T-Shirt Deli is not Kosher-certified, our t-shirts are made of 100% cotton, Cotton/Polyester mix, or Cotton/Polyester/Rayon. Each is Kosher under Jewish law. And we serve no pork or shellfish.

So yeah, we kosher. Fo Sho.

We make t-shirts. But just like creating a sandwich at a deli, we tailor everything about your shirt to appeal to your taste. Choose a shirt style and size, pick the font, art or photo that suits you best, and hold the pickles. After we cook it up, your shirt will be wrapped in butcher paper and served with a bag of chips. And yes, The packaging is Trademarked™️.

If you created your t-shirt using our design elements (clipart and fonts) it usually takes between 24 & 48 hours for your order to be ready. If you uploaded your own image it could take a bit longer- up to 72 hours. If one of your garments isn't in stock, we'll send you an email to let you know what the wait time will be and if there are alternative options. If you need something right away, please chat with us online or send us an email at info@tshirtdeli.com detailing your timeline. We'll let you know what's possible.

You'll find status updates with your order. But generally speaking, as soon as it's out of the oven, we'll send you an email letting you know to "Come and get it!"

Yeah sure... but, The T-Shirt Deli has an "enter at your own risk" policy. This means we can't replace your item in the event that anything goes wrong (like errors in printing (such as spelling), placement, shifting, burning or melting) even when it's our fault. If you've taken the time to consider how you'd feel if your stuff got damaged and you still want to take the risk, then YES, we will print on your item.

It sure is! We're set up like a real deli where you can come in, place your order and wait for it to be made for you. Like any deli worth its weight in pastrami (ugh) sometimes there's a line. Sometimes you'll be able to run an errand or get a drink or two while we make your shirts. That's why if you're in a big hurry, it's best to leave more time or order ahead.

We have a location in BUCKTOWN!

Of course we can help. Now, depending on how much help is needed, there maybe an art charge involved. Head over here and fill out this form with as much information as you can and we'll get in touch with you right away!

We ship via UPS. Unless otherwise notified. If we have everything in stock, your order will ship within 24-48 hours. As soon as your order ships you'll get a tracking number. If we're missing something important and it could lead to a delay, we will personally call you up, give you some options and talk about it. Really talk about it, you know?

Illinois residents will be charged 10.25% sales tax. If you live in Illinois and don't wanna pay sales tax you can have your order shipped to a different state. But you'll have to figure out how to retrieve it. Which might end up costing more than the 10.25% sales tax... something to consider.

T-Shirts, like sandwiches, are custom-made – therefore, there are no returns or exchanges permitted. If WE make a mistake, please let us know (within 7 days of receiving your shirt) and we will gladly, humbly, and quickly make you a new one, of course.

You mean at our store location? Yes, of course! We'd love to host your party. Head over here to learn more.

Do you live in Chicago? Then here we are! For those of you outside the Chicago area, feel free to order online and have fresh shirts shipped straight to your door. Please stay tuned and we will keep everyone informed of our world wide domination!

You mean on location? Yes, we do! Head over here to learn more about it.

God yes. We love dogs, sometimes more than we love people. And since we don’t serve real food (shhh!), we can welcome dogs at our store.

Oh yeah. For sure. We’ll keep adding them as they come up.
