Hi...
This website has been a great resource for this newb here trying to learn more about the t-shirt business... and after lurking for months reading through tons & tons of posts, I finally feel ready to ask some questions without "smelling too green" in here.
I've looked through some of the posts here that mentioned about Canadian wholesalers, and have visited some of the websites as well to get a better idea about them, it seems that most of these wholesalers require a PST number... and I was wondering if other Canadians here in this forum have actually registered a PST number for their t-shirt business. I'm based in Vancouver, and am researching about the possibility of starting a small home-based t-shirt "business"... but since it's likely to be small starting out, I wonder if it is indeed necessary to apply for a PST number? Is it a long process to do so?
Secondly, most of the wholesalers do bulk orders, however, for someone who is just starting out, I'm looking to start small, are there any Canadian suppliers (preferably local in Vancouver) that do not require a minimum order and are still cost-efficient? *hmm... am I hoping for too much here?*. If someone could please provide some insight for me, or perhaps probe me in the right direction, that would be great. Thanks!
