Default Wholesale T-shirts at retail stores?

I know there is alot of websites that sell t-shirts at wholesale. Is there any retail stores that sell t-shirts at wholesale prices. Like maybe walmart or something. Asking because I wanted to think of a backup plan just in case if I needed some t-shirts right away and couldn't wait the 2 days it would take take coming from a store online. I'm not really in postition to buy in bulk on online stores just yet. Thanks

Where are you located?

You may have a local supplier.

Retail businesses couldn't survive by offering true wholesale prices.

I'm in NJ. I ordered shirts from Broder and in the busy week of holiday shipping they got the shirts to me in less than a day. I ordered them yesterday and got them today with regular ground shipping. Very impressive. Not happy with shipping charges but I guess it's worth it.

It may be worth it to see if you have a local supplier.

I've got 1 in Nashville that has prices slightly higher than what I could get them for online, but when I add in the cost of shipping, and the convenience of being able to just walk in and buy, it's much cheaper.

there should be someone fairly close. Lots of vendors for our industry. Were luck with a Virginia T's and San Mar about 20 min away. Broder is one day UPS from Orlando

I have purchased most of our shirts so far, from a local supplier, search the Hanes/FOTL etc. web site, for local distributors, Thats how I found mine, even the bella apparel page lists the same dist. for their line in my state.

I place my order online, and its a 2 hours turn around time before I can pick up, and its about 20-30 minutes away... The holiday season has been rasied to about 4 hours because they are so busy, but the average time before was 2 hours..

We ALWAYS go to pick them up, because it saves on shipping =)

Hi Ambrelee,

I am also in Phoenix, AZ. Do you mind sharing who the local retailer is and where they are located?

Thanks,

Aaron
