Free pre-order team stores for Canadian clubs and schools.
A Team Drops store is a free 30-day online store with your crest, where your members, families and fans order and pay for their own gear. We make exactly what was ordered, pack every order in a bag with a name on it, ship it to you in one box, and pay your group 25% of every sale before tax.
What it costs the club
Nothing. There is nothing to pay up front and no minimum order. People pay LTD Customs at checkout, tax included, so the club never collects cash, never fronts an order and never holds a box of leftover sizes. We answer questions from parents and members, and each buyer gets their own receipt.
What the club earns
25% of every sale, before tax, paid at delivery by e-transfer or cheque, with a full report by name, item and size.
| Item | Price | Back to the club |
|---|---|---|
| Core Hoodie | $54.50 | $13.63 |
| Performance Hat | $34.50 | $8.63 |
| Core Tee | $29.50 | $7.38 |
For example, if 120 people order about 1.5 items each at an average of $45, the store sells $8,100 and the club gets $2,025. That is an illustration, not a forecast: your numbers depend on your roster and your range.
How a drop runs
- Day 1 to 30: the store is open. You share one link by email, the team app and the group chat.
- Day 30: the store closes at 11:59 pm and we count every size and colour.
- Day 31 to 60: we print and embroider exactly what was ordered.
- Day 60 to 63: every order goes in its own bag with a name on it, and one box ships to your rink, hall or school.
That is about nine weeks from opening day to hand-out. Most stores go live about a week after a 15-minute call: mockups and the store are ready in 3 to 5 business days.
Pre-order store or bulk order?
| Pre-order store | Bulk order | |
|---|---|---|
| Paid up front | Nothing | The whole order |
| Sizes | Each person picks their own | You guess the split |
| Leftovers | None: we make what was ordered | Whatever doesn't sell |
| Who handles money | Buyers pay at checkout | The club collects and pays |
| Best when | Everyone pays for their own | You have a firm count and a budget |
Weighing a store against pizza kits or chocolate? See what your club keeps with each. If you have the budget and a firm count, our sister company LTD Customs does bulk orders from 50 pieces. Not sure how to split sizes? See what sizes groups actually order.
Who it's for
Any group with a crest and members who want the gear: minor hockey and sports clubs, fire and EMS departments, schools and alumni, leagues and tournaments, workplaces, charities and community groups. Everything is made by TEAMLTD, a Canadian brand, not a reseller.
Questions
Does a team store cost the club anything?
No. There is nothing to pay up front and no minimum order. Every person pays for their own order at checkout.
Does the club handle any money?

When does the club get its 25%?

How long does a drop take?
About nine weeks: 30 days to order, 30 days to make it, then a few days to ship. Most stores go live about a week after the first call.
What if someone misses the deadline?
Late orders roll into the next drop. Most organizations run two a year: a season opener and a holiday store.
Can it ship to more than one place?
One shipment to one address is included. Extra drop-offs, like separate stations or arenas, are quoted.
