Help & FAQ

Made to Thrill is a lifestyle brand rooted in the arts, culture, and nostalgia of theme parks. The brand started as a personal hobby in 2015 as a desire to create simple, aesthetically pleasing artwork that I wanted for myself. Since then, the brand and product offering has evolved a little bit but still remains a personal hobby, albeit a self-sustaining hobby that I do for the love of theme parks and design.

Yes, we have created exclusive artwork and products for select theme parks. Please see our collaborations collection for details.

Please note that park exclusive collaborations are not available in
our shop. They must be purchased through the corresponding park.

Unless it says limited-run, park exclusive or is part of a numbered set, it’ll most likely get restocked.

If it's a limited-run item, it may or may not get restocked at some point.

If it's part of a numbered set, it will not get restocked.

If it's a park exclusive, please contact the corresponding park for availability.

All of our products (such as posters and t-shirts) are produced in small quantities and will sometimes sell out quickly, especially during new releases. For priority notice on all releases and restocks, we recommend joining our club.

While we don't have a specific schedule for our restocks, we generally try to restock most, if not all of our posters every few months.

Nope. We're proud to say we do all of our order fulfillment in-house. It's the only way we can ensure every product we ship is up to our exact spec and quality standards.

While we’re happy to hear what you’d like us to make, we typically don’t have enough free time to take on commissioned work. Please feel free to tweet us your request.

Sales and distribution of our park exclusive products are handled exclusively by the park. All park exclusive items must be purchased through the corresponding park, not through through our shop.

Any requests for restocks, or custom product variants should be directed towards the corresponding park. New products and reproductions are made at the parks discretion.

Currently, we do not offer pre-framed prints. While it might be something we offer in the future, we'd recommend purchasing pre-made frames at Target or Jo-Anne Fabrics.

If you're looking for something custom, visit Level Frames. They've got pretty reasonable prices on custom frames. And you'll get $15 off your first order with our referral code using this link.

All of our t-shirts are more run a bit more fitted than your average t-shirt. If you desire a looser fit, as a general rule of thumb we recommend purchasing one size up, unless otherwise noted on the product page.

Prior to attempting to adhere the patch onto your garment, it's important to note that success will vary depending on the type of fabric used. We cannot guarantee the patch will properly adhere to your garment. If you have any doubts, we'd recommend sewing instead of ironing.

Patches should only to be applied to the fabrics that can withstand temperature 325°F. Satin, nylon, or waterproof fabrics are not recommended for iron-on patches.

1. Preheat the iron to 325°F.
2. Place the patch on your desired position, and cover it with a light-weighted cloth.
3. Then, iron with firm pressure for 10 to 15 seconds.
4. Preferably, heat from both topside and underside of the garment.
5. After it is cooled down, check the adhesion.

Please note that Made to Thrill is not responsible for any damage caused to your garment or the patch itself during this process.

We have a complete rates list on our shipping information page.

Unfortunately, shipping parcels is an imperfect system, prone to errors, and run by humans. We'll do our best to move mountains and get your order by a specific date, but please understand that delays with any courier can happen, and they're out of our control.

If you need your order by a specific date, please let us know as soon as possible, prior to placing your order. We'll work with you to recommend the shipping options that would best fit your needs.

Orders are typically fulfilled within 4 business days from date of purchase. Sometimes it can take a little longer if the order was placed on, or just after a new release/restock or during the holiday season.

If it's a pre-order, backorder, or otherwise delayed shipment item, an approximate ship date will be listed on the product page. Orders containing multiple items will ship according to the item with the longest processing time.

When your order is ready for shipment and a label has been printed, we’ll send you a confirmation email that includes the destination address and a link to the tracking information.

For more details on transit times, please check our shipping information page.

If you received a shipment notification from us and there has been little, to no movement on the tracking, your order is most likely already moving through the system but hasn't been scanned yet.

We've seen cases were a shipment will go un-scanned until it reaches the destination city, completely bypassing any scans in Chicago. This is especially prevalent during the holiday season. :\

Please allow up to 20 calendar days (or 40 calendar days for international) from the first scan of acceptance on your tracking information, to receive your order.

If you've been waiting longer than 20 (or 40) calendar days since the first scan on your tracking information please contact us below.

In our experience, transit times can be wildly inconsistent, especially with items shipped via USPS. It will most likely get to you eventually, even if it takes a few extra days.

We understand; we're not fans of the shipping cost being nearly half of what out our smaller items costs either.

In short, yes, it would be less expensive with a regular postage stamp. However, we found the disconnect of not having tracking or insurance to be a significant challenge when shipping orders at scale. USPS isn't perfect and unfortunately, things often go wrong.

Ultimately we decided that every item in our store would ship with tracking and insurance, bare minimum. While this doesn't come with any guarantees, it does help us ensure a smooth order/replacement process for both us and our customers. And of course, we're always looking at ways to reduce cost, but at this time, our baseline method of "Standard Shipping" is the least expensive method we can offer.

Absolutely! We ship to pretty much every country around the world via USPS and UPS Express Worldwide.

Possibly. Orders shipped outside of the U.S. are subject to regular customs duties and fees levied by the destination country.

It's the customers responsibility to pay these import taxes. Please consult your nearest postal authority for details.

Unfortunately, that's just how much it costs ship globally with tracking and insurance.

Our best recommendation to counter-act this is to buy multiple items in a single order to help save on shipping costs.

We offer free UPS worldwide express shipping on orders over $150.

We understand things like this can happen. If you'd like to ship to a different address, please do the following:

1. Place a new order with the correct address.

2. Contact us with your previous order number that has the incorrect address.

3. We'll cancel the incorrect order, refund the payment source, and ship to the new one.

Please view our full return & exchange policy.

The contents of our Mystery Bags are entirely luck of the draw and final sale (as described on the product page).

To be fair to everyone, even if what you receive is a duplicate of something you already have or didn't want in the first place, there are no exchanges, and no refunds.

No risk, no reward, right?
