Exclamation Is a little color run expected?

hey guys, I just got a batch of 80 tees from a new manufacturer whom pricing is great. Or maybe a little too great since I soaked a couple and found some color run after a few hours of soaking in cold water. Is this expected to happen? Is there a process their skipping? should I stop going back after I'm done with this 80?

thanks in advance..

That could be trouble....shirt dye bleeding into the prints color. Or worse, bleeding onto a customers skin. You might be able to heat set the shirts dye by running them through a dryer, but that seems to be too much work...unless the cost of the shirts are that good.
I would just use a clothing line you know and can trust. The low cost is not worth the hassles that can and will arise.

Run do not walk away from such deals. Where and what price. Curious? My wife gets on me every time I try to save money.. it comes back to haunt me.

If they're red it's normal. If they're not red, it would depend on how much run-off.

It was a brown tee. The run off wasn't much, then again i don't have anything to gauge it by.
