Discuss the wholesale blanks industry: Factory direct, custom labels. You can also use this forum to locate a wide variety of wholesale products including t-shirts, hoodies, mousepads, coffee mugs and other imprintable products.
I recently got my resale license and haven't registered with a lot of the tshirt blank vendors. Some take up to a couple of days to confirm registration and I really need to place an order for some shirts on Monday. Can anyone help me out and let me know who has the best price on Bella 8701. I think the lowest I have seen them is $6.44. Has anyone seen them for less? I need about 150 shirts in varied sizes
I would like to disagree with you Splathead. Pricing has been discussed throughout many threads on this site. If I'm reading the Terms and Conditions correctly, as long as someone is not trying to advertise for something they may benefit from price was (exceptions being official vendors) is should be okay.
As towards being able to order on Monday, call the company early in the morning, advise you need to get things rolling ASAP. The sooner you get the paperwork done and get it to them, the faster it will be processed. The longest time I have experienced so far was 3 days. Bu tit was because it happened over a weekend and a snowstorm came through NYC at the same time. But I have experienced getting an account in less than 24 hours.
As for the best pricing, your going to have to hunt the internet. And remember the best pricing does not mean the best service. American Apparel (a vendor on this site) makes a similar shirt to the Bella one you are looking for. It's Item#4305 on their website. Price is good, shirt is good, (I've ordered many in the past and have heat pressed them. No troubles) and the customer service is quite good.

Just so you know, I'm defining the term Sales Offers in the Warning message to mean Sales Offers from your own company website.

If I were you, I'd just get on a few sites and check them for myself. It seems that you will not get the answer here. Plus there is no way to get shirt tomorrow no matter what. You have to take your time and plan things out. If this is for a customer, tell them a 2 week turn around. That will give you more than enough time to do the job. If it is for a brand line, you might have to re-look at what you are doing and re-plan things. Best of luck.

I see it. That's cool. However, if you notice, the Threadstarter never mentioned the name of the wholesale company she found which was the lowest. Only the lowest price she found for a particular name brand and style of shirt. So in keeping with the mod's wishes, no one including you and me know which specific wholesaler was offering this price. So it's all good.

My original post was not directed at the thread starter. I was simply letting her know that we could not answer her question by giving her source and pricing.

Cool.
Back to the original post, again my best suggestion is to search the internet. Not only are there many wholesalers out there, but they all run different specials which can knock the competition out of the way at one time or another. The only real way to get at these specials is to register with them. I can tell you that I have gotten some phenomenal deals on blanks because I setup an account for my company with these t-shirt wholesalers. I have accounts with about 5 different companies now. But will probably deal with about 5 more. It also helps to get a wholesaler who not only has a variety of products, good prices, specials, great customer service, but distributors or warehouses close to you. This way, you can get your blanks a lot faster. My company is in Fort Lee, NJ. So I have some wholesalers who have warehouses in NJ or PA and get my shirts usually within a day or 2 of ordering. I also have some that are shipped to me from as far as California. Sometimes you may pay a little more for the same item, but if you need to get it faster, it helps to have a wholesaler with a warehouse close to you.
