What matters when shipping T-shirts

T-shirts are light and compress, so the parcel is usually charged at the minimum weight, and combining several pieces and sizes in one carton saves money.

Fabric and size

Pure cotton breathes better in summer, while cotton-polyester blends wrinkle less but feel less comfortable. Oversized cuts are common, so check the store size chart before ordering and size up if you wash hot.

Pure cotton or a blend

A pure cotton tee is soft and breathes but can shrink in the first wash, while a polyester blend keeps its shape and dries faster. Choose cotton for summer and a blend for frequent use, and ask for the fabric weight in grams, which is more honest than marketing wording.

Sizing and cut

Turkish sizes sometimes run slimmer than international ones, so compare chest and length against the store table before ordering. A loose cut forgives a wrong size, while a slim one needs accurate measurements.

Folding and compressing

T-shirts are light and compress in a parcel, so ask for each piece in its own bag and folded flat so it does not crease. Combine several pieces in one parcel to share the shipping cost instead of sending each alone.
