Frequently asked questions
Here you’ll find the most important answers about the configurator, design service, preview, printing, delivery and returns.
Configurator & design service
What is the difference between the configurator and the design service?
With the configurator, you design your Doodle shirt yourself and see your design live. You choose symbols, text and colors on your own. With the design service, we create the design for you: you send us your wishes, symbols and inside jokes, and we turn them into your personal Doodle design. You receive a preview by email before printing.
Why does the configurator cost 49.99 € and the design service 59.99 €?
In the configurator, you create the design yourself, which is why this option is cheaper. With the design service, we take care of the design work, create a personal preview and make small adjustments for you.
Which option is right for me?
The configurator is ideal if you want to build your shirt yourself and see the design live. The design service is better if you prefer to describe your ideas and let us turn them into a balanced Doodle design for you.
Design, preview & approval
Will I receive a preview before printing?
With the design service, you receive a preview by email before printing and approve your design afterwards. Please also check your spam folder after ordering so you do not miss our design approval email. With the configurator, you already see your design live while creating it. After ordering, we additionally check it for technical printability.
Can I make changes after ordering?
With the design service, you can request small adjustments after the preview before your product goes into production. With the configurator, you create your design live yourself; after ordering, changes are only possible if something is not printable during our technical check or we contact you about it.
What happens if I do not approve the design?
With the design service, we only start production after your approval. If we do not receive a reply, delivery may be delayed. Please regularly check your email inbox and spam folder.
Do you check my design before printing?
Yes. Whether configurator or design service: before printing, we briefly check whether your design is technically ready to print. If something does not fit, such as details being too small, restricted motifs or technical issues, we will contact you with a suitable solution.
Motifs & personalization
Which symbols and ideas can I use?
You can use ideas from hobbies, travel, pets, sports, food, music, favorite places, names, dates or personal inside jokes. The important thing is that the motifs can be shown as simple Doodle symbols and fit our style.
Which motifs cannot be created?
Official logos, brands, series characters, club crests, band logos or copyrighted motifs cannot be used. We also do not create discriminatory, violent, political or extremist content. If possible, we are happy to create a neutral alternative in the Pencil Poetry style.
Can I add my own wishes?
Yes. With the design service, you can describe your wishes, inside jokes and symbol ideas directly when ordering. In the configurator, you can choose from many symbols and add your own texts or wishes, as long as they are technically and legally possible.
Products, sizes & care
Which products are available?
Our main product is the personalized Doodle shirt. We also offer selected Doodle gifts such as hoodies or posters. Depending on the product, personalization may differ slightly.
How do I find the right size?
Please check the size chart on the respective product page. If you are between two sizes or prefer a looser fit, we usually recommend choosing the larger size.
How should I care for my shirt or hoodie?
Wash your shirt or hoodie inside out at a maximum of 30 °C. Please do not bleach, do not tumble dry and do not iron directly over the design. This helps keep your Doodle design beautiful for as long as possible.
Are the products sustainable?
Our shirts are made from organic cotton and are only produced after your order. This helps avoid unnecessary stock and means we only produce what is actually ordered.
Delivery, discount & payment
How long does delivery take?
Design, production and shipping usually take 7–14 business days. With the design service, the timing also depends on how quickly you approve the preview. With the configurator, it can often be a little faster because you already create the design yourself.
Why can delivery take longer with the design service?
With the design service, we create your design individually and then wait for your approval. If there are adjustment requests or the approval comes later, shipping may be delayed accordingly.
Is there a discount for couple shirts?
Yes. Use code COUPLE10 to save 10% when ordering two shirts. Perfect if you want to wear your shared story as couple shirts.
Why is no VAT shown?
We are a small business according to § 19 UStG. For this reason, VAT is not shown on our invoices.
Returns, issues & contact
Can I return personalized products?
Because our products are personalized for you and only produced after your order, returns or cancellations after production has started are usually not possible. If your order arrives damaged or there is a production issue, please contact us and we will find a suitable solution.
What should I do if my product arrives damaged?
Please contact us promptly with your order number and photos of the damaged product and packaging. We will review the case and find a suitable solution, for example a replacement print.
How can I contact you?
You can contact us anytime via the contact form or by email. If your question is about an order, please include your order number so we can help you faster.
