FAQ
The Design Shop allows you to create and preview your custom apparel. Within the Design Shop you may choose from three decoration types including Sewn On Letters (a.k.a Block Letters, Family Letters, Stitch Letters, Applique Letters, Tackle Twill Letters), Embroidery Designs or Printed Designs.
At DesignerGreek there are a plethora of design options which include but are not limited to: Sewn-On Letters (a.k.a Block Letters, Family Letters, Stitch Letters, Applique Letters, Tackle Twill Letters), Embroidery, Monograms, Screen-Printing, Garment Printing, Heat Transfers, and Pocket and/or Frockets. If you are unsure of which design type is best for you order, our Design Team can help you decide. Factors such as order size, budget, design intricacy, size, and number of colors are all important elements to consider.
Sewn On Letters (a.k.a Block Letters, Family Letters, Stitch Letters, Applique Letters, Tackle Twill Letters) are laser cut letters, sewn to the garment by an embroidery machine through a four step process. The background letters are available in Solid and Metallic fabrics and the foreground letters are available in Solids, Prints, and Metallics. Our Sewn On Letters come in the following sizes: 2”, 3.25”, 4.5” (standard).
Embroidery is when thread is stitched into a garment by an embroidery machine. Size, location, thread color, font, and wording are all variables in this process.
Designer Greek uses Zig-Zag Stitching for our Sewn-On Letters, however Satin Stitching is available for an additional $12.00 due to the significant increase of stitches around your letters & sew time. Within the Design Shop you will have the option to upgrade your stitching.
Many of our solid fabrics are made from 100% polyester twill fabric. This particular fabric does not fade and holds its shape exceptionally well. Designer Greek’s printed fabrics are made from cotton blends which vary from print to print.
Most often the letter colors are the same. However, when Designer Greek runs out of a specific color, a new batch will be ordered. Since the fabric is dyed, shades will sometimes vary slightly from batch to batch.
Designer Greek has done its best to accurately represent all colors and fabrics on the website; however, due to differences in computer monitors, small variations may exist and colors may appear brighter on the screen.
DesignerGreek will carry the printed fabrics for as long as the manufacturer supplies them, which is usually at least for a 1 year period. However, once a fabric is discontinued, Designer Greek will no longer carry that particular print.
Most products do not require a minimum purchase! DesignerGreek will fulfill your order large or small.
Designer Greek does not have a catalog at this time. If you have any questions regarding the products we offer please feel free to contact

Unless specified, the apparel is unisex. Sizing chart links are available on each product page. Chest and Body Length are the most important to consider. Chest is typically measured from armpit to armpit and Body Length is measured from the top of the garment to the bottom.
If you are at all unsure about sizing please contact our Customer Care Team. Remember, Designer Greek cannot accept returns or exchanges if your apparel does not fit.
No. Each apparel brand has its own color line. While some colors like Black will be close, other colors such as Light Blue may be very different.

Yes! Although Youth sizes are not available on the website at this time, we do carry them. Please Talk With A Product Designer for help.
Designer Greek recommends that apparel be washed inside out in cold water. Do not add bleach or other chemicals to the load. For best results, dry garments on low or lay flat to dry. Finally, iron press your letters on a low temperature after each washing.

Once items have been ordered, a confirmation page will show a summary of your transaction. You may choose to print this for your records. Additionally, an email version of this summary will be sent, provided that we have an accurate email address. Your DesignerGreek account will also list all current and past orders.
Because most items are custom made, once an order has been processed and manufacturing has begun, it becomes final. If the order has been processed but manufacturing has not commenced, and you would like to cancel, there will be a 20% restocking fee for the amount of that item. Otherwise, if the order has not yet been processed (usually within 24 hours) cancellations can be made by emailing [email protected]. In addition to all other charges, a $3 transaction fee will be incurred for all cancelled and refunded orders.
Because all items are personalized, once an order has been processed and manufacturing has begun, changes are not possible. If the order has been processed but manufacturing has not commenced, a $5.00 fee per item will be charged for any changes made. Otherwise, if the order has not yet been processed (usually within 24 hours) changes can be made by emailing [email protected]. Be sure to reference your order number in the subject line.
We strive to maintain inventory on all products, however, if an item is on backorder, you will receive an e-mail and/or phone call from our Customer Care Team.

Designer Greek encourages you to use your permanent/home address as the shipping address for orders placed during or after Thanksgiving, prior to Spring Break, and when you know that no one will be available to accept the package. FedEx will attempt to deliver a package(s) for three consecutive business days. If no response is received, your package will be returned to DesignerGreek and you will be charged to reship your order. USPS will hold your package at your local postal office for approximately one week before it is returned to Designer Greek. Again, Designer Greek is not responsible for any costs incurred to reship your order.
If the shipping address provided is incorrect or missing information and your order is returned to DesignerGreek, you will be responsible for the second delivery payment as our shipping carriers do not offer complimentary reshipping.
DesignerGreek assumes no responsibility for delays or losses resulting from the negligence of the carrier, strikes, weather conditions, power failures or other acts of nature. DesignerGreek will not reimburse or discount your credit card if an item is lost during delivery. Rather, DesignerGreek will contact the shipping company immediately in an attempt to find the package. If the package cannot be found, DesignerGreek will file a claim with the shipping company and take appropriate steps at that time.
If you shipping address has an apartment number or dorm room, be sure to include it in the ship to address. Do not assume that the carrier will find your residence if any information is missing from the shipping label.
Not always. We strive to ship the products you order as soon as they are available which sometimes results in multiple shipments.
We ship most orders via US Priority Mail (www.usps.com) as this is the fastest and most affordable service. Larger orders and group orders are shipped via FedEx Ground (www.fedex.com).
If you have special delivery requirements, please note that DesignerGreek cannot make special requests to the shipping carriers. For delivery assistance please email [email protected] and we will do our best to support you.
Unfortunately, we cannot ship to the US Territories or foreign countries at this time.
Shipping rates are calculated based on the total weight of the merchandise in your cart. That said, you’ll never pay more than $9.95 for each order as DesignerGreek subsidizes the remaining costs to help keep shipping prices reasonable. If you have any questions or concerns about how shipping fees are calculated please contact [email protected].
For standard, in-stock items, our team strives to ship your purchase within 2-4 business days.
For custom jewelry, accessories, and gifts, most items are shipped within 6-8 business days.
For custom apparel items, including sewn-on letters, embroidery, and printed designs, our production team strives to produce and ship your items within 5-8 business days. Please remember that each item is personalized and created upon order placement. Factors such as complexity of the order (satin stitching, additional embroidery), product availability, and quantity of the order may increase production time.
Shipping times are not included in the production estimates above. Most orders are shipped via US Priority Mail which takes 1-3 days to arrive. Larger orders are shipped via FedEx Ground and take 1-5 days to arrive depending on your location. Express shipping (1-2 days) is available upon checkout however this selection does not speed up production time.
Refunds are generally processed within 1-4 days of your returned merchandise arriving back at our Seattle headquarters. Refunds will be issued back to the same card used to make the original purchase which can take 2-14 days depending on the speed of your bank.
All orders should be opened and inspected upon arrival. Shortages, incorrect orders, or damaged items due to shipping or manufacturer defects should be reported to DesignerGreek within 5 days of package delivery. If you believe that Designer Greek filled your order incorrectly, please first check your order confirmation e-mail sent to you from DesignerGreek containing your order summary.
