Hey everyone. This is my second post - I introduced myself in the "Intro" forum, but I why not do it again - Hey! I'm Anthony. Now on to my question...
Does anybody know of a good screen printing company (yours own or otherwise) that could possibly do order fulfillment?
I'm starting an e-commerce web site and instead of having my shirts printed and shipped to me, I'd like to have them shipped directly to my customers to save time.
I'm sorry, but I should have specified. I'm not looking for a cafepress or printmojo (a place that will set up a store for me) as I'm currently working with a team to develop a full e-commerce web site.

Are you looking for a company that prints your stuff, then ships it out whenever you get an order?

You don't have to use the store with PrintMojo. If you have your own ecommerce setup, you can still have PrintMojo print the shirts, warehouse them and send out the orders to your customers as they come in.
Raw Talent Inc also offers this service I believe. I saw a post recently that said JakPrints does this as well.
If you do some google searches for screen printing fulfillment, you'll probably find more companies that offer the same type services.
So does this mean that you can have your t-shirt website hosted on your own web hosting, then when you get an order print mojo will handle everything?
Sort of. They won't print orders "as you get them".
It's just like going to a screen printer. You have to order the shirts and have them in stock before you can sell them.
What a fulfillment company does (one that does screen printing) is print your shirts and warehouse them.
You could have your t-shirt site setup, and as you get orders, you would email the fulfillment company with the order details and they would take the printed t-shirt out of its home in the warehouse, place it in a package and ship it to the customer.
are there companies that just keep your stock and then ship for you when they receive an order? So if I get one company to print my shirts I would need another company to send them to my customers. I currently know of only one company that does everything from printing, storing, taking my online orders and shipping to my customers. They are also able to do discharge and jumbo printing which are services I have to have based off of some of my designs.
It's too bad not many companies do order fullfillment. I'd rather do business with a small T-Shirt business and help them out. I sell printing online now and I'm getting a ton of hits because I just got out of the Google Sandbox.
I think there's a market for 1 or 2 T-Shirts (custom). I know you don't make much per order but if you can get the volume that would be great. If anyone knows someone who will drop ship please let me know.

You can't do it with screen printing (there's a market for it, but the costs are too high to fulfill the onsie twosie market with screen printing). You could do it with a direct to garment printer who does contract work (you could find those with a few google searches). Direct to garment printers are perfect for those 1-2 shirt orders on demand.
