Turning Point USA Says Charlie Kirk Memorial Merchandise May Take Up to 12 Weeks to Ship
Following one of the largest memorial services in U.S. history for a private citizen, Turning Point USA (TPUSA) announced that shipping delays for newly released Charlie Kirk merchandise could stretch up to 12 weeks. The organization cited an overwhelming surge of support from across the country as the reason behind the backlog.
“Due to the overwhelming support for Charlie and his mission, please allow up to 12 weeks for shipping,” read a message on TPUSA’s online store.
The announcement came just days after a massive memorial at State Farm Stadium in Arizona, where over 100,000 Americans gathered to honor the slain conservative firebrand. President Donald Trump, who delivered a deeply emotional eulogy, praised Kirk as a “martyr for American freedom,” adding, “He didn’t deserve this, and our country didn’t deserve this.”
Trump also announced that Kirk would be posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, citing his work in galvanizing a generation of young conservatives and helping him secure victory in 2024.
Commemorative Merchandise Surge
TPUSA capitalized on the historic moment by releasing a line of commemorative items, including:
-
A black “memorial tee” emblazoned with the phrase “This Is Our Turning Point”
-
A T-shirt with a line-art image of the Kirk family and the phrase “NEVER SURRENDER”
-
Baseball caps, stickers, and more
All items quickly went viral, contributing to the long fulfillment window.
