FAQ's

Where are you located? 🐾

Every Snark & Curls shirt is printed in the USA, including at our production facilities in New York.

Keeping production local allows us to deliver better quality, faster turnaround times, and a more reliable experience from the moment you order to the moment it arrives at your door.

Your miniature poodle may still find something to critique. The printing quality probably won't be it.

What is your production time?

Every Snark & Curls order is made specifically for you—because neither you nor your miniature poodle would settle for off-the-rack standards.

Once your order is placed, our team typically produces and ships it within 1–3 business days. In many cases, production is completed within 24 hours, because we know waiting is difficult when you're accustomed to immediate poodle approval.

As soon as your order ships, you'll receive a tracking number so you can follow its journey right to your doorstep.

We work hard to get your order moving quickly. Your poodle will still find something to critique, but shipping speed probably won't be one of them.

What is the shipping time?

Good taste shouldn't take forever.

Most Snark & Curls orders are produced and shipped within 1–3 business days. Once shipped, orders are typically delivered via USPS Ground Advantage and arrive within 5–7 business days throughout the continental United States.

You'll receive tracking information as soon as your order ships, allowing you to follow its progress right to your doorstep.

Fast production. Reliable shipping. Minimal drama. Your poodle will provide the rest.

Will I get a tracking number for my order?

Yes. As soon as your order ships, you'll receive a tracking email with everything you need to follow its progress.

You can track your package from our production partner all the way to your doorstep, so you'll know exactly when it arrives.

Because checking tracking updates every few hours is completely normal. Your miniature poodle would do the same.

What materials are your products made of?

Because your miniature poodle has standards, so do we.

Every Snark & Curls shirt is printed on premium-quality apparel chosen for its softness, comfort, and long-lasting wear. Our preferred garment, the Bella+Canvas 3001, features:

• 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton
• Lightweight 4.2 oz fabric (32 singles)
• Ash: 99% cotton, 1% polyester
• Side-seamed construction
• Retail fit with unisex sizing
• Tear-away label

Soft enough for everyday comfort. Durable enough for repeated wear. Stylish enough to earn the approval of a dog who already believes they're the best-dressed member of the household.

Material blends may vary by style. You'll find complete fabric details on each product page.
