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 currently use port and company products I like their quality and prices - I buy from on-line places like blank shirts, dollar shirts, broder bros etc - I know that whoever i buy from i get shipped from the same warehouse in NJ - my question is how do i find out who the warehouse is and order directly from them or find out if they are close enough for me to pick up stuff etc - i am tired of poor service from these companies - thx I know many say they like s&s activewear but they do not carrry port and company - anyone else no of a good place to buy port and company from - thx
Are you saying a distributor is actually a warehouse that distributes to other distributors that are drop-ship distributors ? Im lost here.

Pretty Much Like CafePress. The ReSeller Receives An Order, He Then Fowards It To The Company That Either Produces It Or Buys In Extremely Large Quantities. Then The Company That Was Fowarded The Order Ships The Product Strait To The Customer, The Re-Seller Only Keeps The Difference Between The Price He Charged And The Price He Gets From The Source.
An Advantage To Drop-shipping Is That You Don't Have To Keep Stock (That Might Not Sell). Another Is That You Don't Have To Worry About Shipping To The Customer.
A Disadvantage Would Be That You Have No Idea What The Quality Of The Product That Your Customer Is Getting Will Be. Therefore If Your Drop-Shipper Messes Up, You Get The Blame For It And It Could Destroy Your Companies Image. (This Is Could Be The Reason Why A Some Shirt Suppliers Take Forever To Deliver Your Product. They Have No Control Over It If They're Drop-Shipping)
