I read a favorable comment in the Forum on Artbrands and am curious if anyone can provide me with first hand knowledge of their products. I would be interested in the quality and ease of use . Also, do they seem cost prophibitive. Thanks. David
I just received their catalog yesterday, very impressive. Unfortunately, no pricing info in it. I'm going to call them during the week because there are several transfers I want to buy for my of my car clubs.
I have used artbrands.. a few of them.. and had no problems with them at all.. They have several differant types of transfers and a good way to see with kind from there you like the best is to go to their web page and look at the retired transfers.. They have some great deals.. Its a good way to see what their differant types of transfers feel like..and the closeouts are only like 6.00 a dozen..
I have used ARTBRAND transfers purchaced through Proworld. Your right the catalog does'nt have priceing. If you go to the proworld site and search Artbrands you can veiw their pricing.
Mike P.S. search "car" on the Proworld site, a lot of different types of cars. What type of car club do you belong to?

I've also used their transfers which seem to be fine.
Unfortunately, they seem unable to give you a total cost for merchandise ordered.
So what they charge will be a big surprise.
I find it hard to believe they have no means to calculate cost of transfers + shipping+ handling, but their customer service people assure me this is the case.
Under those circumstances, I figure I can't do business with them.
We have used 100's of Art Brands transfers, and the price plus shipping has always
been very good. Talk to Karen Moleski, she has been a big help to us.
If you want, tell her that Russ from Tiger 3000 Gifts Plus said to ask for her.
Again, we have no problems with transfers.
You just need to set yourself up with a rep. and everything will become clear. You will have to purchase transfers by the dozen, no one off sampling. If you want to test the market go through Pro-World.
Has your rep been able to quote you prices plus shipping? I can't get that from mine. It's like it's some mystery total price. Makes no sense, yet I'm told they can't give me final pricing.
Hi Clem
All I did was ask her for a price list and she sent us one with my order.
The price of the transfer we buy is $3.00, $6.00, $10.50 or $12.00 a dz.
We have bought some at $18.00 a dz.
As for shipping it is standard U P S ground.
It is hard to get quote on the shipping as different transfers do not have the same weight.
So they have 1000's of transfer, untill you put your order all together in a box you don't
know what is the weight.
Yes, thank you.
I do realize if you buy many transfers shipping is not really a problem.
But let's say you wanted to buy 4 dozen small transfers (youth or so), then shipping might add on 50% to the order, yes? I have a feeling that could well be the case, but since I can't get an answer, really, I guess I won't order this time. Plus I do know they always add on handling charges.
Too bad they can't send a small order via USPS, since it would not be very much.
Thank you! I guess I have to assume shipping/handling will add on too much since I can't obtain a total from them.
