Default PPS Apparel aka presentation products

I just want to give everyone a heads up to avoid doing business with PPS Apparel. I've recommended them before as they do have the lowest priced blanks. Orders have been consistently a day or so late, which I usually don't mind, but this time they've over done it.

I ordered several hundred shirts from them a while ago (for a job I was actually doing for the white house!) and they have not arrived.

I also had a sample shirt shipped to a perspective customer in July, and it still has not been shipped/received.

Emails have not been answered, The phone is never answered, calls are not returned, and for a while now the voice mailbox has been full.

They have 9 complaints on file with the BBB.
BetterBusinessBureau


So not only am I losing customers because of these guys, I have over 1,000$ in orders I have to refund (which I don't have) a bunch of burned screens I have no use for now, And a bad name.

Thanks PPS!

Well, that stinks. I was planning on ordering around 50 shirts from them tomorrow. I had ordered 30 shirts from them a few months ago without a problem.
Do you know of other suppliers? I am mainly looking for Gildan but i dont have a wholesale business number.

There's plenty of other suppliers you can go to without a taxid. Off the top of my head; Jiffy shirts, alpha, blankshirts.com. I believe there's a thread dedicated to it around here somewhere.

Update: Their 800 number no longer works. The local number has been changed. No answer at the number the local number has been changed to.

The site was updated this morning showing the new number, so they clearly still are using the computer. Yet no response to my emails to the business email or, the guys personal email account which I tracked down.

Oh yeah, still no shirts.

Me too. But I've already blown a couple guarantees. So unless they arrive in the next hour or so, I'm pretty much out of business, and have to prepare to get sued a few times over.

Well, after a solid day of calling and getting no answer, I filed a complaint with paypal. I got my money back, and the reason was that they were moving and it disrupted their operation. The funny thing, I have yet to get a single email or call from this guy.

Anyways, long story short, I'm out of business. And I hope this doesn't count as cross promoting, and if it does, I hope it's forgiven. My entire shop is for sale in the classifieds if anyone cares to take a look.

That's awesome. A phone call can go a heck of a long way. Especially when you know your customers are relying on the product in a certain time frame.
