Hello im in the process of opening an account at ralawise. Its lot of hassle they want a photocopy of my credit card statement. Im just wondering if its any point me opening one. is it any cheaper than what im paying now. So if someone can tell the prices of the FOTL super premium and gildan heavy cotton it would be much appreciated.

Don't give anyone copies of you statement, Bloody cheek! Check out Elms and Elms,
smaller range but easy to deal with.

BTC are great, as are Starworld, UKL are ok. I stopped using Ralawise a long while back, had big problems with deliveries not being sent.

Gildan Heavy GD005 is £1.55 single, £1.30 in 12's and £1.15 in 72's

FOTL SS044 is £1.70 single, £1.50 in 12's and £1.35 in 72's

All plus vat

These two are not the same quality though as the FOTL is heavier.

Never had any problems with Ralawise.

Thanks, use polo-shirts.co.uk mostly and they are fine but could do with someone cheaper.

Another vote for Elms & Elms here, they have just released thier new catalogue (as they all have!) and they are not messing around with quantity discounts any more, buy 1 or 1000 everything is now at carton rate
Nice people too!

Both are pretty similar in my opinion but I dont use either. I find them very rough and cheap feeling. I either use SG or Stedman for regular jobs unless someone specifically asks for either FOTL or Gildan.

Is it only me that thinks, there should be price breaks, why should i buying 100+ t shirts at a time, pay the same price as someone who is buying 5 or 6 t shirts for a hobby business ??

mind you it annoys me that companies now will supply anyone, without proof that they are a "business"

Its a bit of a quandry really. If you are buying 100 plus tees every order 2 to 3 times a week then they are obviously making a lot of money from you and you should be having a chat to your rep.

If you buy a 100 tees every 3 months, and others are buying 5-6 tees 2-3 times a week then the suppliers are going to make more from them than they are from you for the same level of volume. These guys charge £6-£7 + vat for postage via courier and are paying about £3.50-£4.

I know that ralawise are now offering a royal mail postal service for about £3.50 -£4 + vat for small orders. But again this will be a ppi account (or tracked) and they will make in the region of 40% on that charge.

I suppose it would depend on what the individual supplier classes as volume and the target audience they have (individual or bulk buy).
