UK POD T-shirts: sizing, VAT, fulfillment

UK POD tees need UK sizing and clear landed-cost messaging—shoppers expect tax clarity and honest lead times.

Strict returns make charts and fabric notes beat racing on price.

Flecustom can run UK-size small POs for DTC and event tees.

UK summers are short—compress art tests and state lead time plus tax expectations on the PDP.

Event tees prefer preorder-make over open deep inventory.

Local notes

  • Sizing

    UK ≠ US—publish a UK chart.

  • VAT

    State tax-inclusive expectations to cut checkout drop-off.

  • Season

    Short summer—compress art tests.

  • Returns window vs size guidance

    UK return expectations are strict—put UK chart + GSM inside the first PDP fold to cut wrong-size impulse buys.
