Default American Apparel distributor

Hi All,

Just wanted to see if anyone is aware of an AA distributor in Aus? I see Fully Stoked are gone now, did any one step in to take their place?

Cheers,
José

Hi Jose

I used the search function at the top of the page and found this post about a supplier for AA in Australia Fully Stoked no more...Who is supplying AA?. There was also this post where members talk about buying directly from the states and maybe saving a little this way, here is a link to that thread https://www.t-shirtforums.com/wholes...s/t6588-5.html. Hopefully this will help you

Also if you use the search function at the top and just type AA in Australia, you will get more results. I got more but these were the first I seen that I thought might help

thanks for that, though i have seen those threads already.

i thought maybe someone had stepped in to the shoes that Fully Stoked had vacated, hopefully someone has as its hard to find AA stock in Australia. Maybe thats why AA opened up shop in AUS so they can be the sole distributor... who knows...

Fully Stoked got bullied out of distributing AA in Australia thanks to the current distributor. Had their wholesale account cancelled.

Current one now is BYM. For the privalege of them being the sole distributor we now have to pay about 30% more for the same t-shirt we were getting from Fully Stoked. Monopoly is great isn't it!

you might find the exchange rate has a HUGE amount to do with it.

Even with the bad $ and high shipping costs, we found it cost just slightly less to buy from the US. Now that BYM have the monopoly the prices are pretty high unless you order big.
