Default Re: What is your average profit margin per shirt?

Quick question about SanMar. Online they have three price "tiers". Using their online ordering system you cannot get case pricing until you purchase a certain number. I typically fall in the "dozen" pricing tier by purchasing 6 or more of something. Case quantities on items are all over the map from 24 to 144. I buy via credit card and by purchasing online I save the 3% uplift I would pay if I call the order in.

Tim, are you saying I can call SanMar and ask for a quantity of any amount and ask for case pricing and they will give it? Depending on size of my order it might be worth me paying the 3% credit card fee if I call and get case pricing for all items. I was not aware that this is an option and I just had a long talk with them yesterday. Of course I didn't ask that question specifically.

If you all think SanMar will give case pricing regardless of quantity I will call in my order next time Let me know your thoughts...

And, I price shop for larger orders and SanMar seems to be the best pricing. I find their selection is not as young and hip as some other vendors, but on the basics SanMar rocks.
