What is Impatient Prints?
Impatient Prints is a small, Jesus-centered print-on-demand shop filled with original designs created by me, Alli!
I create apparel, caps, totes, posters, magnets, and other little things meant to bring some joy, encouragement, and a little Jesus into your day. <3
But Impatient Prints is about more than just the products. I want this to be a place where creativity can point back to Jesus, encourage people, start conversations, and help make an impact beyond the shop.
What products do you sell?
As of now, we have these products for you:
- T-shirts
- Comfort Colors® T-shirts
- Crewneck sweatshirts
- Baby tees
- Caps
- Tote bags
- Posters
- Magnets
Are all of the designs original?
Yeth ma'am (or sir). I have the honor and pure joy of getting to create (and workshop at times) all the designs that you can find here. <3
What sizes do you offer?
Most apparel is available in S–3XL.
Baby tees are available in S–XL.
Caps are currently one size.
Because sizing can vary a little between products, I recommend checking the individual product's size chart before ordering to make sure you get the best fit for you! 😀
Do your products come in different colors?
Yes, most of them do! The amount or color choices do vary from product and design. But if you ever want to know all of the color options; you can find them by clicking on the product page!
Can I request a custom-design or personalization?
At this time, I don't offer custom designs or personalization. 🙁
BUT—I am always open to hearing what you want to see!
If you have an idea for a design, phrase, Bible verse, or something you think would be fun to see from Impatient Prints, please fill free to send it my way!
how your order works
What is print-on-demand?
Print-on-demand pretty much means your product isn't made until you order it!
Instead of making a huge pile of shirts, totes, caps, etc. and hoping they all find a home, I create the designs and then Printful prints and fulfills your product when you place an order.
Once you order, your design is printed, your order is prepared, and Printful ships it to you!
Why are products made to order?
Making products to order helps reduce overproduction and unnecessary inventory. It means your product is made when someone actually wants it rather than producing a plethora of items that could end up in a landfill somewhere. So big yay to reducing waste! 😀
Who prints + ships my orders?
Printful handles the printing, fulfillment, and shipping for Impatient Prints.
I create all of the original artwork and designs, and Printful takes care of turning those designs into your products and getting your order to you.
BUT— if there is any trouble with shipping, delivery, or the order. Let me know and I will try and get the problem fixed with Printful!!
Where is my order made?
Printful has fulfillment locations in different places, and orders are fulfilled based on the product and available facilities.
Whenever possible, your order is fulfilled at a location closer to you.
Why might my product look slightly different from the picture?
Because your product is actually being printed and handled during the fulfillment process, there can sometimes be small variations between the product you see on the website and the final product you receive.
This can include:
- Slight shifts in print placement
- Small differences in fabric color between batches
- Slight differences in print color or vibrancy
- Small differences in how a design is scaled between sizes
For example, prints on darker garments use a white underbase, which can slightly affect how vibrant a color appears.
These small variations are a normal part of the print-on-demand process and don't necessarily mean something is wrong with your product.
Are your products environmentally conscious?
I want Impatient Prints to make a positive impact in more ways than one!
One of the biggest benefits of making products to order is that products aren't being mass-produced, which helps reduce waste.
Some of the products also use more environmentally conscious materials. For example, our tote bags are made from 100% certified organic cotton, our baby tees are 100% cotton, and our comfort colors tees are also 100% cotton.
Printful also offers products made with organic and recycled materials and uses water-based, OEKO-TEX-certified printing inks on applicable products.
I'm always learning more about how I can make Impatient Prints better and more thoughtful in this area, too!
shipping + delivery
Where do you ship?
Right now, Impatient Prints ships within the United States only.
International shipping isn't available at this time, but that is something I'd love to explore in the future!
How much is shipping?
Standard shipping is currently a flat rate of $4.69.
Eco-conscious shipping is currently $4.78.
At this time, I don't offer free shipping based on a minimum order amount.
How long will my order take?
Because your product is made to order, it takes a little longer than ordering something that is already sitting in a warehouse.
Shipping generally takes 2–7 business days once your order has been shipped.
Please remember that your order also needs time to be produced before it ships, so the total time from ordering to delivery can be longer than the shipping window alone.
How do I track my order?
Once your order has been printed and shipped, Printful provides tracking information for your package, that will be sent in an email. So if you haven't been able to find it, check your spam folder!
If your tracking seems unusual or your order hasn't arrived after a reasonable amount of time, reach out to me and I'll do my best to help figure out what happened!
changes, returns + order problems
Can I change or cancel my order?
Because your order can enter the fulfillment process pretty quickly, please contact me as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel something.
I may be able to make a change or cancel your order within 1–2 days of placing it, as long as production hasn't started.
Once your order has entered the fulfillment process, I unfortunately can't guarantee that changes or cancellations will be possible.
Do you accept returns or refunds?
All sales are final, and I currently don't accept returns or offer refunds.
Because Impatient Prints uses print-on-demand, products are made specifically for your order and can't simply be put back into inventory and resold.
So please double-check your design, color, size, and other order details before placing your order!
You can read the full Return & Refund Policy for more information. 😀
What if my order arrives damaged or defective?
Oh no! If your order arrives damaged or defective, please contact me within 48 hours of receiving your order.
I may ask you to send photos of the issue so I can better understand what happened. I'll then work with Printful to determine the best way to resolve the problem, which may include a replacement.
I want you to love what you receive, so please don't hesitate to reach out if something isn't right! <3
What if I ordered the wrong size?
If you get in contact wiht me before the product reaches the fulfillment stage, I would be happy to edit the order for you!
But— because all sales are final, I can't accept returns or exchanges for ordering the wrong size.
Please remember to check the size chart on each product page before ordering to help make sure you choose the best size for you!
What if my package hasn't arrived?
If your order seems to be taking much longer than expected or you think something went wrong with the shipment, PLEASE reach out to me.
I'll do my best to look into it with Printful and figure out what happened. If something went wrong during fulfillment or shipping, I'll work with Printful to determine what we can do to help.
the mission
What does "Jesus-centered" mean?
From the beginning— to the end— and everything in between, I want impatient print's to shine JESUS.
I want this brand to spread the love, joy, hope, and freedom of Jesus through my creativity.
Sometimes that might look like a very obvious Jesus-centered design. Sometimes it might be something goofy, encouraging, or simply something that makes you smile.
I hope the products can be conversation starters—something that encourages you, reminds you of God's goodness, makes someone curious, or opens the door to share the Gospel and the hope found in Jesus.
Is Impatient Prints only for Christians?
Impatient Prints is created with Christians in mind, but I want everyone to feel welcome here.
Whether you're walking with Jesus, just getting to know Him, curious about Him, searching, open-minded, or simply found a design that you really like—I hope you feel welcome here.
You don't have to have everything figured out to be here—CAUSE I sure don't.
If something makes you smile, encourages you, starts a conversation, or points you toward Jesus, that's a big win to me. So hi, I'm Alli and I hope you feel loved and seen in whatever way that resonates with you.<3
Why does Impatient Prints donate to IJM?
The whole goal of creating Impatient Prints was to spread the gospel but also be able to make an impact beyond our every day.
That's why 10% of Impatient Prints' profits are donated to International Justice Mission (IJM) each month.
IJM works around the world to protect people experiencing violence, exploitation, and modern slavery. They partner with local justice systems to rescue and restore victims, bring criminals to justice, strengthen justice systems, and help create safer communities.
I chose IJM because their work connects deeply with something I believe in: freedom, justice, dignity, and caring for people who are in need.
I want the things I create to point people toward Jesus—and I want the business behind those creations to help make a positive impact too.
What is IJM?
International Justice Mission (IJM) is a global organization working to protect people from violence and slavery.
IJM partners with local authorities and communities to help rescue victims, restore survivors, bring perpetrators to justice, and strengthen justice systems so protection can last. Their work includes addressing trafficking and slavery, violence against women and children, and other forms of violence and exploitation.
If you'd like to learn more about IJM and the work they do, you can visit IJM.org.
How does my purchase help?
When you shop with Impatient Prints, you get a reminder that JESUS is with you and an opportunity to spread JESUS throughout your day, while simultaneously helping support IJM's work.
BECAUSE— at the end of each month, 10% of Impatient Prints' profits are donated to IJM!!
so big yay!
And you would also be supporting a small creative business, which is cool too. 😀
All that wrapped together so you get to have a purchase with a bigger purpose than it looking cute— which that alone is a win too! <3
about impatient prints
Who is behind Impatient Prints?
Hi! I'm Alli, the illustrator, designer, and person behind Impatient Prints!
Every piece at Impatient Prints is illustrated and designed by me, and this little shop is a place where I get to combine some of my favorite things: creativity, illustration, Jesus, and making things that hopefully bring people a little joy.
You can learn more about me and the story behind Impatient Prints on the About page. <3
Why is it called Impatient Prints?
Once upon a time, I was thinking of what to call this store. I had inspiration from another creative shop owner called Uncomfy, because she was a little anxious and wished her products brought comfort to people who shared that feeling.
So I really enjoyed the play on words of shouting out our faults. I wanted to have that same kind of fun play that made light of a flaw of mine.
My sister came to visit me on a slow day at work while I was brainstorming ideas. And since it was print-on-demand, I wanted to include “print” in the name. As we are brainstorming together, my sister asked, “What about Impatient Prints?”
My mouth was agape. I was almost stunned because, at that point—and still to this day—patience is something I am praying and practicing to have.
And I know it might be a little unconventional for a Christian brand, but I think it helps us remember that we are impatient and flawed on our own, and that's why we need JESUS.
Even with our best efforts, it isn't enough. And what a gift that by accepting and submitting to JESUS as our Savior, He becomes our best. The more time we spend with Him, the more we are changed and transformed.
So, long story short, Impatient Prints is a reminder to rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in every circumstance, and lean on Him.
Because that is the only way to true life.
What is the mission of Impatient Prints?
I want Impatient Prints to be a place of encouragement and a place that points back to JESUS.
My hope is to glorify God through creativity and spread His love to the people it comes in contact with—whether that's in person or through a product, email, or a random little corner of the interweb.
I want Impatient Prints to create things that make people smile, start conversations, encourage people, and ultimately point back to the true love, hope, joy, and freedom found in JESUS.
And also be a store with products that can give back. That can help us make a difference from where we're at. To help fight the slavery and injustice that people are facing everyday.
And it might be silly to say that it can be done with some tees and totes— but I believe that all things are possible with the LORD + regardless of what GOD has planned for this store. The over-all mission is to
praise JESUS. <3
