Australia POD T-shirts: reverse seasons & freight
AU POD must plan reverse seasons and long haul—merge shipments after tests.
Book print slots for AU summer early.
Flecustom small runs work best with consolidated freight.
Back-plan make + ocean from AU summer launch—often lock hero art by late northern autumn.
Light breathable hands fit the climate; heavy fleece is a cautious hero.
