You will see where your order stands right now. You do not need an account or a password. The rest of this page explains where to find those two details, what each status means, how long each stage normally takes and what to do if something looks stuck. If you would rather ask a person, email <a href=\"mailto:support@teachtee.shop\">support@teachtee.shop</a> and we will reply within 24 hours on business days.</p>\n<h2>Where to find your order number</h2>\n<p>Your order number is a short number we give the order at the moment you place it. You can find it in three places.</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The confirmation page.</strong> After checkout, the page that thanks you for the order shows the number near the top.</li>\n<li><strong>The confirmation email.</strong> We email a receipt to the billing address you typed at checkout. The number is in the subject line and in the first lines of the message. If it is not in your inbox, look in the spam or promotions folder, and check whether you used a school address or a personal one.</li>\n<li><strong>Your account.</strong> If you created an account, sign in at <a href=\"/my-account/\">My account</a> and open Orders. Every order is listed with its number, date and status.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Type the number as digits only. If the form says it cannot find the order, the usual reason is the email: it must be the billing email on the order, not the address of the person receiving the gift. A room parent who ordered for a teacher types her own email, not the teacher&#8217;s.</p>\n<p>If you cannot find the number anywhere, email us from the address you ordered with. Tell us the date of the order and what was in it, for example &#8220;two Day 100 tees, one L and one 2XL&#8221;. We will find it.</p>\n<h2>What each status means</h2>\n<p>The form shows the status our store holds for your order. The first table covers those. The second covers words you may see on a carrier&#8217;s page once the parcel has left us.</p>\n<table>\n<caption>Order statuses shown by the form on this page</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Status</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">What it means</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">What you should do</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Pending payment</td>\n<td>The order was started but payment has not been confirmed to us yet.</td>\n<td>Wait a few minutes and look again. If it does not change, check with your payment provider, then email us before you order a second time.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Failed</td>\n<td>The payment did not go through.</td>\n<td>The order was not paid. You can place it again, or email us if you are unsure. See <a href=\"/payment-methods/\">Payment Methods</a>.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>On hold</td>\n<td>We are waiting for something before work starts, usually an answer from you.</td>\n<td>Check your email, including spam, for a message from us and reply to it.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Processing</td>\n<td>Payment is confirmed and the order is in the queue or being made. Making takes 1-3 business days.</td>\n<td>Nothing. If you need a change and it is less than 24 hours since you ordered, email us now.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Completed</td>\n<td>The order has left us and is with the carrier. Transit takes 7-14 business days.</td>\n<td>Watch for the delivery. Keep the order number until the parcel is in your hands.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cancelled</td>\n<td>The order was cancelled, for example at your request within the 24 hours.</td>\n<td>Nothing, unless you did not ask for this. If so, email us.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Refunded</td>\n<td>A refund for the order has been sent to the original payment method.</td>\n<td>Allow your bank or payment provider time to show it. See the <a href=\"/refund-policy/\">Refund Policy</a>.</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<table>\n<caption>Words you may see on a carrier&#8217;s tracking page</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Carrier wording</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">What it usually means</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">What you should do</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Shipped or label created</td>\n<td>The parcel has a label and is waiting for, or has just had, its first scan.</td>\n<td>Give it a couple of business days.

If it asks you to act, do it soon. Then email us so we know.</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>We have not yet confirmed on this page whether every parcel carries a tracking number, or exactly which emails you will get as the order moves. If your order has tracking, the details will be in a message from us or on the order itself. If you have no tracking link and want to know where the parcel is, email us with the order number and we will tell you what we can see.</p>\n<h2>How long each stage normally takes</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Making:</strong> 1-3 business days. Every tee, sweatshirt, tote and tumbler is made after it is ordered, so nothing ships the same hour.</li>\n<li><strong>Transit:</strong> 7-14 business days to the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Orders ship from the USA.</li>\n<li><strong>Total:</strong> about 8 to 17 business days from the day you order to the day it arrives.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Business days are Monday to Friday. An order placed on a Saturday starts its count on Monday. Public holidays in the USA or in your own country can add a day.</p>\n<p>A worked example. A second grade team orders five tees on Monday 6 July for a first day in August. Making finishes between Tuesday 7 and Thursday 9 July. The parcel then travels for 7-14 business days, which puts delivery between about Thursday 16 July and Wednesday 29 July. If the form still says Processing on Friday 10 July, that is a reason to email us. If it says Completed on 20 July and the parcel is not there, that is still inside the normal range.</p>\n<h2>Should I be worried? A quick check</h2>\n<table>\n<caption>When to wait and when to write to us</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">What you see</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Normal?</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Next step</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Processing for 1-3 business days</td>\n<td>Yes</td>\n<td>Wait.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Processing for more than 3 business days</td>\n<td>No</td>\n<td>Email us with the order number.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Completed, fewer than 14 business days ago</td>\n<td>Yes</td>\n<td>Wait.

Before that point it is still inside the range we quoted, even if it feels slow.</p>\n<p>Once the estimate has passed, email <a href=\"mailto:support@teachtee.shop\">support@teachtee.shop</a> with the order number and the delivery address. We will look at what we can see on our side, tell you what we find and agree the next step with you. We have not published fixed waiting periods or a fixed outcome for late parcels, so we will not quote one here. What we can say is that you will get an answer within 24 hours on business days, and that we will not leave you guessing.</p>\n<p>If the day you ordered for is close, say so in the first line. &#8220;Ordered for the 100th day on 4 February&#8221; tells us what matters. We cannot move a parcel faster once it is with the carrier, and we will be honest about that.</p>\n<h2>Marked delivered, but not here</h2>\n<p>This happens more often with school addresses than home addresses, because a school has a front office, a mail room and a summer break.</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Check the address on your confirmation email, line by line, including the room number if you added one.</li>\n<li>If it went to school, ask the front office and whoever sorts the mail. Over the summer, ask who holds deliveries while the building is closed.</li>\n<li>If it went home, look by side doors, in the parcel locker and with neighbours, and ask others in the household.</li>\n<li>Wait one more business day. Carriers sometimes scan a parcel as delivered a little before it reaches the door.</li>\n<li>Then email us with the order number and tell us which of these you have checked. We will agree the next step with you.</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>If the address was wrong</h2>\n<p>Within 24 hours of ordering we can correct an address. Email us the order number and the full correct address. The steps are on <a href=\"/cancel-change-order/\">Cancel or Change an Order</a>. After the parcel has left us we cannot redirect it ourselves. If a carrier&#8217;s page offers you a redirect or a pick-up option, you can use it. If a parcel comes back to us because of an address problem, we will write to you and agree what happens next.</p>\n<p>One tip for orders sent to a school: use the school&#8217;s street address, put your own name first, and add your room number on the second address line. Do not rely on the school&#8217;s name alone.</p>\n<h2>Tracking a team order or a gift</h2>\n<p>A team order placed by one person has one order number and travels as that person&#8217;s order. Share the number and your billing email with a teammate if you want her to be able to check the form too. Items from one order may not all arrive in the same parcel. If part of an order arrives and the rest does not follow within a few business days, email us.</p>\n<p>For a class gift, the order number belongs to the room parent who paid. The teacher will not get our emails unless her address was used at checkout, which keeps the surprise safe.</p>\n<h2>When it arrives</h2>\n<p>Open it soon, even if the day you ordered for is weeks away. Check the size on the label, the name and the grade line. If something is damaged or wrong, email us with the order number, a sentence about the problem and a photo. Photos you send are deleted 30 days after delivery of the related order. If the size is not right or you have changed your mind, you have 60 days from delivery and a free return label. See <a href=\"/returns-exchanges-policy/\">Returns &amp; Exchanges</a>.</p>\n<h2>Short answers about tracking</h2>\n<h3>The form says &#8220;Completed&#8221; but I have nothing. Is it lost?</h3>\n<p>Almost never at that point. Completed means the order has left us, not that it has arrived. Count 14 business days from the day the status changed before you treat it as late.</p>\n<h3>Can I track without the order number?</h3>\n<p>Not with the form. Email us from the address you ordered with and we will look the order up by your email and the order date.</p>\n<h3>I ordered two things. Why do I see one status?</h3>\n<p>The status belongs to the whole order. A tee and a tumbler in one order may still be packed apart, so the first parcel at your door is not always the whole order.</p>\n<h3>Does the status show my name and grade text?</h3>\n<p>The form shows the order&#8217;s progress. The text you typed for a personalised item is in your confirmation email. Read it there, and if it is wrong and you are still inside 24 hours, email us straight away.</p>\n<h3>I am in Australia or New Zealand. Is tracking different?</h3>\n<p>The form works the same way and the estimate is the same 7-14 business days in transit. A parcel crossing a border can sit without a new scan for several days while it clears customs. Duties and import taxes depend on the destination country and are not part of our price.</p>\n<h2>Related pages</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/shipping-delivery/\">Shipping &amp; Delivery</a>: timing, countries, cost and the order-by rule.</li>\n<li><a href=\"/refund-policy/\">Refund Policy</a>: refunds within 7 days of our receiving the return.</li>\n<li><a href=\"/contact-us/\">Contact Us</a>: how to reach us and what to include.</li>\n<li><a href=\"/help-center/\">Help Center</a>: every support page by topic.</li>\n</ul>\n","visible_characters":10900,"meta_description":"Look up a Teach Tee order with your order number and billing email, see what each status means, and learn what to do if a parcel is late or missing.","parent":null,"published_at":"2026-11-13T23:27:29+00:00","updated_at":"2026-11-13T23:27:29+00:00"}}
