I'm considering trying out the private label brand from SanMar Port & Company and wanted to know if anyone knew what mill makes the shirts.

Knowing the mill will give me an idea of what kind of shirt to expect without having to purchase them and possibly waste money/be disappointed.

You know I don't know who my rep would be. I've done a lot of business with them over the past 2 years just through their web site.

The only times I have called in were once to dispute a shipping charge and once to request case pricing for my account.

Since then, they have pretty much been one of my major sources of blanks.

Good point, Auggieboy. The PC61 is our first pick! .....although....

SanMar has had some goof-ups lately. A couple weeks ago one of our orders was missing 10 shirts, the most recent order was delayed by 2 or 3 days, when it was delivered, it came to us instead of going to our screen printer - even though the main label on the box had the screen printer's address as the drop ship location. (Actually, there were 3 labels on the outside of the box with 2 different addresses - weird!) Since the shipment was delayed to begin with, and this box came to us instead of the printer, we had to drop everything today to drive 45 minutes to the printer so the shirts would be ready to print. Not the end of the world, but a BIG hassle!

Tonight, I was placing an order with SanMar for approximately 60 of the CP80 and YCP80 caps, and they are out of stock from our usual warehouse. They have them in Florida, I think, but after all of this, I'm nervous about ordering from them. We need these caps ASAP, and I'm just reluctant to take my chances. Anybody else having the same issues? We'll have to order caps first thing in the morning to meet our customer's deadline.
