Most Common Questions
Start here for order status, shipping timelines, product types, and the fastest way to contact Customer Service.
Where is my order?
If your order has not shipped yet, its status may show Awaiting Fulfillment. This means your order has been received and is waiting to enter production, be completed, or be packed for shipment.
Once your order ships, you will receive an email with tracking information.
If you need help, contact Customer Service at cs@ninelineapparel.com or 912-480-4250. Please include your order number so we can assist you faster.
When will my order ship?
Shipping timelines depend on the type of products in your order.
Ready to Ship, Quick Ship, and 24 Hour Ship items can typically ship the next business day outside of peak seasons, but only when every item in your cart is labeled that way.
Made to Order items are produced after your order is placed at our Savannah, Georgia headquarters and ship when ready.
Limited Time Designs ship after the preorder closes and production is completed.
Supply Drop items ship separately from our partners and typically ship within 1–4 business days.
My tracking has not updated. Is something wrong?
Not necessarily. Carriers can take 24–48 hours to scan packages after pickup.
If your tracking has not updated after several business days, contact Customer Service at cs@ninelineapparel.com or 912-480-4250 and we will help look into it.
Can I change or cancel my order?
Because many orders move into production quickly, we cannot guarantee changes or cancellations after an order is placed.
If you need to make a change, contact us immediately at cs@ninelineapparel.com. If production has not started, we will do everything we can to help.
How do I contact Customer Service?
The fastest way to reach Customer Service is by email at cs@ninelineapparel.com.
You can also call us at 912-480-4250.
Please include your order number, the email used on the order, and a brief description of the issue so we can assist you faster.
How Our Products Ship
We offer different product types, and each one has a different production and shipping timeline.
What types of products does Nine Line offer?
We offer several product types:
- Limited Time Designs: Preorder designs that ship after the preorder closes and production is completed.
- Ready to Ship, Quick Ship, and 24 Hour Ship: Items that can typically ship the next business day outside peak seasons when the entire cart qualifies.
- Made to Order: Products made at our Savannah, Georgia headquarters after your order is placed.
- Supply Drop: Partner products that ship separately and may have different lead times.
What are Limited Time Designs?
Limited Time Designs are preorder items available for a limited time.
Once the preorder closes, we produce the orders in bulk at our Savannah, Georgia facility and ship them when production is complete.
Because we produce these in house, some Limited Time Designs may ship earlier than the expected ship date. We recommend planning around the advertised ship date shown on the product page.
Will my other items wait if I order a Limited Time Design?
Yes. If your cart includes a Limited Time Design, all non-Limited Time Design items in that order will typically wait to ship until the latest Limited Time Design is ready.
If you need Ready to Ship or Made to Order items sooner, we recommend placing them in a separate order.
How do Ready to Ship, Quick Ship, and 24 Hour Ship items work?
Ready to Ship, Quick Ship, and 24 Hour Ship items can typically ship the next business day outside of peak seasons.
However, they will only ship quickly if every item in your cart is labeled Ready to Ship, Quick Ship, or 24 Hour Ship.
If your cart also contains Made to Order items or Limited Time Designs, the faster-shipping items may wait and ship with the rest of your order.
What does Made to Order mean?
Made to Order means your item is produced after your order is placed.
Most of our Made to Order products are produced by real people at our headquarters in Savannah, Georgia. This allows us to offer a wide selection of designs while maintaining quality and reducing waste.
How do Supply Drop items ship?
Supply Drop items are fulfilled separately by our trusted partners and will always ship separately from the rest of your Nine Line order.
Lead times can vary by partner, but Supply Drop items typically ship within 1–4 business days.
Orders
Helpful information about order status, address verification, split shipments, and order confirmations.
What does Awaiting Fulfillment mean?
Awaiting Fulfillment means your order has been received and is waiting to be produced, packed, or shipped.
This is normal for Made to Order items and Limited Time Designs.
Why is my order delayed for address verification?
We verify shipping addresses before orders leave our facility.
If an address is incomplete, incorrect, or flagged by our verification process, your order may be temporarily held while we confirm the correct shipping information.
This helps prevent lost packages, returned shipments, and delivery issues.
If we contact you about your address, please respond as soon as possible so we can keep your order moving.
I entered the wrong shipping address. What should I do?
Contact Customer Service immediately at cs@ninelineapparel.com.
If your order has not shipped yet, we will do our best to update the address before it leaves our facility.
Why did I only receive part of my order?
Some items may ship separately due to product type, production timing, inventory location, or partner fulfillment.
Supply Drop items always ship separately from our partners. Limited Time Designs and Made to Order products may also follow different timelines.
I never received my order confirmation email.
Please check your spam, junk, or promotions folder first.
If you still cannot find it, contact Customer Service at cs@ninelineapparel.com and include the name and email address used at checkout.
Shipping & Delivery
Information about delivery, tracking, carrier scans, and missing packages.
My package says delivered, but I do not have it.
First, check around your property, mailbox, parcel locker, front desk, neighbors, and anyone else in your household.
If you still cannot locate the package, contact Customer Service at cs@ninelineapparel.com or 912-480-4250 so we can help determine the next steps.
My package was returned to sender. What happens next?
If your package is returned to us, contact Customer Service at cs@ninelineapparel.com.
Returned packages may require address confirmation before they can be reshipped. Additional shipping charges may apply depending on the reason for the return.
Do orders take longer during peak season?
Yes. During major sales, holidays, and peak seasons, production and Customer Service response times may be longer than usual.
Our team works through orders and messages as quickly as possible, but higher volume can create temporary backlogs.

Products & Sizing
Learn the difference between our flagship Triblend and Cotton t-shirts, plus basic fit and care guidance.
Which t-shirt should I choose?
We offer two flagship t-shirt styles: Triblend T-Shirts and 100% Cotton T-Shirts.
Neither one is better for everyone. They are designed for different preferences.
Choose Triblend if you like a softer, lighter, more form-fitting shirt.
Choose Cotton if you like a heavier, roomier, more traditional t-shirt.
What should I know about Triblend T-Shirts?
Best for: Customers who prefer a lightweight, very soft, modern-fitting shirt.
Pros:
- Very soft feel
- Lightweight and breathable
- More form-fitting
- Great for customers who like a modern or athletic fit
Things to consider:
- Triblends can run smaller than our cotton shirts.
- They are more form-fitting and may feel tighter.
- Lighter colors may appear slightly sheer because the fabric is lightweight.
- If you prefer a looser fit, we recommend sizing up or choosing Cotton.
Customers who love Triblends usually love them for their softness and lightweight feel. Customers who prefer thicker, traditional shirts may prefer Cotton instead.
What should I know about 100% Cotton T-Shirts?
Best for: Customers who prefer a classic, heavier, more relaxed t-shirt.
Pros:
- Heavier fabric
- Roomier fit
- Traditional t-shirt feel
- More structured than Triblend
- Less likely to appear sheer
Things to consider:
- Cotton may not feel as soft as Triblend right out of the package.
- It has a heavier feel than our Triblend shirts.
If you like your shirts to fit a little bigger or you prefer a classic t-shirt feel, Cotton is usually the better choice.
I am between sizes. What should I order?
If you are ordering a Triblend and prefer a relaxed fit, we recommend sizing up.
If you are ordering a Cotton shirt, most customers find their normal size works well because Cotton has a roomier fit.
Please review the size chart on each product page for exact measurements.
How should I wash my apparel?
For best results, machine wash cold, wash inside out, and tumble dry low.
Do not iron directly over printed graphics.
Promotions & Discounts
Common questions about discount codes, ID.me, promotions, and gift cards.
Do you offer military or first responder discounts?
Yes. We proudly offer eligible discounts through ID.me for qualifying customers.
Verify your eligibility during checkout and the discount will apply if the order qualifies.
Why is my promo code not working?
Promo codes may not apply to every item or promotion.
Please check the offer details, expiration date, and whether the item is already on sale. Some discounts cannot be combined.
Can I combine discount codes?
Unless otherwise stated, only one promotional code may be used per order.
Customer Service
How to reach us, when we are available, and what to expect during busy seasons.
What are your Customer Service hours?
Customer Service is available during normal business hours, Monday through Friday.
We are closed on major holidays. If a major holiday falls on a weekend, we typically observe it on the nearest Friday or Monday.
During major sales, holidays, and peak seasons, our team may experience a higher volume of calls and emails. If response times are slower than usual, it does not mean we are ignoring your message. Our team is working through the backlog as quickly as possible.

About Nine Line
Learn more about our company, mission, Savannah production facility, and the meaning behind Nine Line.
Are your products really produced in Savannah, Georgia?
Yes. Nine Line operates a real production facility at our headquarters in Savannah, Georgia.
We have been doing our own production since 2012. Most of our products are screen printed, embroidered, produced, packed, and shipped by our own team.
These are real humans making your products. When you order from Nine Line, we are not simply relying on someone else to produce Limited Time Designs and ship them from another location. Our in-house team handles the production and fulfillment process for most of our apparel.
Are your products made in America?
Many of our products are proudly made, printed, embroidered, packaged, or shipped from our headquarters in Savannah, Georgia.
Some products may use responsibly sourced imported materials or may ship from trusted partners, such as Supply Drop items. Please review individual product details when available.
Do I have to be military to wear Nine Line?
Absolutely not.
Nine Line Apparel is for anyone who supports American values, our military, first responders, and the freedoms we all share.
What does Nine Line mean?
In the military, a Nine Line refers to the information used when requesting a medical evacuation.
It represents trust, teamwork, and helping those in need, values that continue to inspire our company today.
Why is the American flag backwards on some apparel?
When worn on a uniform or moving object, the American flag is displayed with the stars facing forward to represent moving forward rather than retreating.
This follows long-standing military tradition.
