What is the status of my order?

You can check the status of your order online by logging into our site using your email address and corresponding password, and then click the "My Account" link at the top of any page. The link will appear after you have logged in. You will then be taken to your personal account screen which displays not only your account information but your recent orders as well.

If you click on the "See Orders" link, you will be taken to a screen that shows you every order you have placed with ChicagoTeamStore.com and each order’s status. Please note that this screen does not contain real-time shipping status. This information can be delayed by approximately one business day, so an item showing as open may have actually shipped.

You will receive two emails from us when you place an order. The first is an email that is confirming your order placement and the second email will contain your USPS or UPS tracking number. This tracking number will allow you to track the shipping status of your order online through the USPS or UPS website.

Unfortunately, we cannot check the status of Custom Jerseys while they are out at our Lettering Company being worked on. Custom Jerseys take approximately 3-5 Weeks until we receive the finished product back and can ship it out to you. Once the jersey ships from our Warehouse, we'll manually send out a shipping confirmation email with that UPS Tracking Number.

Is the item that I wish to order in stock?

The stock status on our website is displayed in the shopping cart. Our system grabs stock information from all of our locations so if the website displays that an item is in stock, it does not necessarily mean it is in stock at all locations. Please call our locations to get item availability if you are looking to purchase at a store location.

If an item is in stock, it will ship in 1-3 business days. This 1-3 business day time period reflects the amount of time it takes to get the item to our warehouse, package it, and ship it. It will generally only take the full 3 business day time period during peak ordering times, most of our orders get out in one to two business days. Once this is completed, the shipping method you chose will take affect.

Due to the large selection of merchandise that we carry it is impossible to guarantee 100% availability of all the products that we sell. If an item that you’ve ordered is out of stock or has to be backordered, you will be notified by email promptly.

If I place an order, how quickly will it arrive?

If an item is in stock, it will ship in 1-3 business days. This 1-3 business day time period reflects the amount of time it takes to get the item to our warehouse, package it, and ship it. It will generally only take the full 3 business days during peak ordering times; most of our orders get out in one to two business days. Once this is completed the shipping method you chose will take affect.

If you have an order that contains in stock and backordered items we will ship the items that are currently in stock and ship the backordered items via Standard Shipping, regardless of the shipping method you have selected. You will NOT be billed twice for shipping. Items that are currently at one of our other locations, but not available to ship right away are NOT considered backordered.

If you have an order that is time sensitive, please call our warehouse at 877-859-2460, to expedite your order.

How much do you charge for shipping?

Shipping rates primarily depend on the method of shipping, the size of the items, the weight of the items, and delivery location of the items you are purchasing.

The fastest way to calculate the shipping cost of items is to place the items you are looking to purchase in your cart. Then, from the shopping cart, enter your location and click "submit", and click on the shipping method you would like to use. Our system will calculate the cost to ship the items on this page, before you commit to the order.

For US and Puerto Rico orders, we do offer $4.95 standard shipping for all orders, and FREE shipping on all orders of $100 or more!

We also offer International Shipping through MyUS.com. Click the International Shipping Banner at the top of the page to find out more information.

What is a drop shipped item?

When an item is drop shipped it means that we do not carry the item on hand. We place an order with a manufacturer for the item and then the manufacturer ships the item directly to you. Although all drop ship companies have different time frames for delivery, the drop shipped item will be shipped within 3 weeks upon placing the order.

A drop ship charge is applied to the item at checkout. This charge is added into the shipping charges that are applied to the order.

If the item is a portion of an order that contains items that are not being drop shipped, it will be shipped separately and the other items will be shipped in accordance with their stock availability. The drop shipped item can not be tracked with the tracking number that we provide. If you wish to track a drop shipped item please call customer service at 877-859-2460 and we would be more than happy to help you out.

Can you send me a print catalog?

Since the availability of the items we carry changes so frequently, we do not offer a print catalog. Every product we carry that has the ability to be shipped should be listed on our website. If you have specific questions about an item or are wary of purchasing online, we would be more than happy to take your order over the phone by calling 877-859-2460.

How do I go about returning an item?

If you are looking to return an item, please make sure that you have kept the tags on the item, have not noticeably worn the item, and are returning the item within 30 days of the purchase date. During the Christmas shopping season, we will allow items purchased after November 15 to be returned or exchanged until January 15 of the following year. Go ahead and send the item back to the address on the invoice and include a copy of your invoice with your package. Please indicate on the form what it is you would like us to do.

For example: “I am returning the Chicago Cubs Radio Helmet. Please credit my account.”

We will take it from there. We will only reimburse you the shipping charges on returns that are a result of our error and we do not accept returns or exchanges on customized jerseys.

How do I exchange an item?

If you are looking to exchange an item, please send the item back to the address located on the upper left hand corner of the invoice and include a copy of the invoice with your package. Write on the invoice what it is you would like us to do with the item. For instance, “I would like to exchange this shirt for a size large.” If for some reason we do not have the item you are looking for in stock at any of our locations, we will contact you as soon as we get your exchange. If we do not receive a response back within a couple of days, the account will be credited for the merchandise that was sent back. There is a charge of $4.95 for return shipping in order to send the exchange back to you. If the check/money order is not included in the package, we will process the card on file. We do not accept exchanges on customized jerseys.

Can I purchase an item and pick it up from your warehouse?

Due to the fact that many of our customers work and live in the suburbs and it is difficult to go to one of our store locations in Chicago, we do allow customers to pick up from our warehouse. Since we do not have a storefront at our warehouse location, we would like you to phone in the order. Please have the style number(s) of the items you are wishing to purchase so we can check the availability of those items at our warehouse. Please have your credit card ready so we can bill you while you are on the phone with us. If you choose not to pay by credit card, please have the exact amount of cash with you when you pick up the items.

Since there is no storefront here, we do not have registers to give change.

We do not accept personal checks. Since it is a warehouse and there is no storefront, there is no browsing.

Can you customize a jersey that I already own?

Yes we can customize any MLB, NFL, NHL and unofficial team jersey that you may already own. Prices depend on the coloring and tones of the letters and numbers, so please call us for a quote. The customization process takes approximately 3-5 weeks to complete.

Will I be charged sales tax?
