Discuss the various t-shirt fulfillment services in this general fulfillment forum. Newer companies like RedBubble, etc can be discussed in this main forum.
Companies that have been around 2+ years (CafePress.com, Zazzle.com, Spreadshirt.com, PrintMojo.com, PrintFection, etc), may have their own separate subforums below (as demand permits).
Most printers will offer contract services where you provide artwork and t-shirts, and the printers will give you a discount on printing. You should set up the administrative end of the deal, then you can ship from your suppliers directly to your printers and it will save you a trip. Contracts with printers can be very very valuable.

If you are planning to sell screenprinting services you should definitely save money by finding a good printer and buying your own shirts. If you just want them for yourself, you probably won't save anything by buying them yourself. I called my competition to price something and the quote was $7.00 each for shirts and printing. When I asked about bringing in the shirts myself, the cost for printing was $6. Needless to say, you can't find a good colored t-shirt for a dollar so I wouldn't have saved at all.

Do I buy shirts then take them to a screener?
