Frequently asked questions

What is The Wandering Pickle?

We're an independent, globally-oriented media outlet hoping to inspire players to use pickleball as a passport. We focus on stories around the world and help uplift the game. Through interviews, travel guides, tournament coverage, and original merchandise, we're celebrating the sport one court at a time.

Where do your designs come from?

Every design is inspired by the global pickleball community—from international tournaments and travel adventures to the friendships and stories that happen on courts around the world.

How are your products made?

All apparel is made to order through our fulfillment partner, Printful. This means your item is printed specifically for you, helping reduce waste and allowing us to offer unique designs without mass production.

Do you offer international shipping?

We are working our hardest to make it happen! Stay tuned.

How long will shipping take?

Most orders are produced within a few business days and shipped shortly afterward. Delivery times vary depending on your location, but you'll receive tracking information as soon as your order ships.

Why does my order take a little longer than Amazon?

Because every item is made to order, your shirt isn't sitting in a warehouse waiting for someone to click "buy." We think it's worth the wait.
