Hello gang, I am having a dilemma with shipping prices. I am in the far north and I just paid over $200 for shipping on approx 134 shirts and 3 light weight jackets. The shipping was almost as much as my actual order and at this rate I will be having an up hill battle with setting the prices to compete with other locals in order to break into the seen. I want to look at placing a couple 500 shirt orders and may just try to order them from a state where I have family and friends who can ship them to me with USP service and not UPS. Two questions I have are, does anyone know a distributor who will send USP and allow me to wave the UPS shipping advantages, or does anyone know reliable distributors in the following cities/states? Spokane Wa, Silver City NM, Phoenix AZ SA, Dallas, TX or SO Cal? Any thoughts, tips or suggestions would be so, so, appreciated.

I am in Alaska, so the free shipping that is offered by some companies does not apply to me. I order out of Detroit right now from Sigma Ware.
Perhaps I will have to get a free ship company to ship to Spokane Wa and have a friend ship them to me VIA USPS. With the free shipping businesses, are the prices usually higher to make up for the free shipping offers?
Thanks everybody.

Both Sanmar & Alphashirt have warehouses in the Seattle area. They both have free ground shipping. Sanmar for orders over $200.00 & Alphashirt for orders over $150.00. The free shipping from either company excludes any sale items & white tees. Their prices are competive, but Sanmar gives you case pricing even when you order less than a case, while Alphashirt charges more per shirt, if you don't order a whole case.
Help with shipping prices!!!
