 Re: Any wholesellers in Japan?
Most of the blank wholsellers in Japan require you to be a registered stock company to purchase from them unless you are prepared to spend 600-800 yen (6-8 usd) each shirt. You can import the blanks but remember that Japanese and Asian sizes are completely different in Japan. Everything is a size down (a US medium is a Japanese Large) I learned the hard way and now I have over 2500 Hanes shirts I cannot sell because the Japanese market is SO different (you want em...ha ha ).
Import/export is kind of a pain in the @$$. Unless you are willing to spend 4 hours in customs and sift through a mountain of paperwork written in Kanji, I would hire a broker to import for you. But in the end, the price to hire a broker, the cost of the shirt, shipping, and import tax/duties, you might as well buy from a distributor. Not trying to discourage you, just bringing up the real life things that will be tossed at ya.
Work smarter...not harder!! Believe me, if you have never printed before, printing 500 shirts by hand will seem like running a marathon. |
