Hi,

I'm located in Montreal and I plan to order tees for myself, so I'm currently trying to locate suppliers that do not require a FSP and accepts small orders. I've heard AA from Montreal is recommended, but I have trouble finding the site.

Any recommended Canadian Vendors? blankshirts.ca seems to have a very limited brand selection.

It'd be great if some quality brands are recommended too, I'm not too sure what kind (soft vs 5.1oz etc) of tee I am looking for, so I'm open to your suggestions.

Try Sanmar, Technosport. not sure what FSP means. Good luck

Hey Nick@wordans - Do we have to be a registered business to order from you guys? (My company isn't registered yet.)

Thanks!

Technosport told me they have a $5000 yearly minimum. Sanmar also has minimums, I'm quite sure.
Wordans definitely has some great pricing.

A lot of places have good prices but what gets me is the shipping charges. When you factor that price into the price of the t-shirts, the cheap t-shirts aren't so cheap anymore.

@GinnyD - I've noticed that too. Wordans' prices are pretty good, but when you factor in shipping costs and then taxes (if you're Canadian), you might as well just buy from Walmart in your local town lol. I wished they had a flat rate or offered free shipping over a certain amount (they only have free shipping over $75 for their own custom printed shirts, not blanks).

@Dono - What do you mean "yearly" - how does that work? If your total purchases for a year doesn't equal $5000+, then what, your accounts gets deactivated or something lol?

Anyone know where the cheapest place to get blank shirts is, after you factor in shipping and taxes?

With a C$250.00 order www.Zorrel.com ships free...And their prices are usually hard to beat....Right now they are over a 1.10 less than Sanmar Canada for a 10 oz. 100% cotton tee....Gildan 2000 versus Zorrel Z880.....

 

[jonkeefe]

Haven't heard of Zorrel, but I'll check 'em out later today.

Wordans charged my credit card on April 4 for an order that still hasn't shipped, 10 days later; their customer service says "From the moment you place an order, it takes an average 10 business days for us to process and ship it. Therefore there are no delays with your order."

Based on 5 days shipping time, you can expect to receive your order from Wordans about three weeks after you pay for it.

Blank Apparel lists insanely high shipping prices, but actually charges much less (they estimate shipping costs based on the order being shipped from Vancouver; if you call them, you'll probably get an accurate price up-front).

I haven't found any other places that will sell in bulk without a business number, which I'm assuming is what an FSP is.

Cheers,
Jon

 

[royster13]

Why are you buying from a supplier on the opposite coast?...

 

[jonkeefe]

Royce, the Zorrel Z880s you mentioned are $9.95 each?!

I'm afraid to ask what Sanmar is charging... and not just because of the forum rules

 

[jonkeefe]

Blank Apparel actually drop-ships from TechnoSport, so my packages are shipped from Moncton.

As for why I was ordering from a place based in Vancouver, there aren't many choices when you don't have a business number!

 

[royster13]

Then get a business number....Otherwise you will just continue to get "hosed" by not really buying wholesale....

And the Zorrel site does not show wholesale prices.....

 

[GinnyD]

If you are looking for plain white tees, I found whitet-shirts.ca is fairly reasonable. Once shipping and tax factored in, the tees are about $4.25 a piece. They carry Gilden & M&O and I believe Bella.

@GinnyD - I've noticed that too. Wordans' prices are pretty good, but when you factor in shipping costs and then taxes (if you're Canadian), you might as well just buy from Walmart in your local town lol.

Wordans shipping for me on 54 t-shirts is $53.95 or $1 per t-shirt. My Walmart most definitely does not sell $4 shirts, let alone in the colors and styles I'd want. Was that slight sarcasm?

@Dono - What do you mean "yearly" - how does that work? If your total purchases for a year doesn't equal $5000+, then what, your accounts gets deactivated or something lol?

I received a wordless email from them with the application document attached and they didn't bother to respond to my email questioning their use of "no minimums" on their website, so I honestly don't know. Maybe they'd come to your house and grab some stuff.

 

[Dono]

Then get a business number....Otherwise you will just continue to get "hosed" by not really buying wholesale....

He doesn't get a business number.... he's in Newfoundland.... they don't assign them there.... we already discussed this in the other thread....

It is a bit silly for him to register as a corporation just so he can buy a few shirts. It was my understanding that Sanmar and the like are only cheaper when you are buying 12 of any size or color. So 12 green Gildan 2000's in Small, 12 in Medium, 12 in Large, and so on. I recall seeing a least one person saying that Wordans is cheaper than SanMar, and they do claim to match any other Canadian company. So enough with the business number already.

 

[jonkeefe]

I received the same wordless email with a PDF application attached -- very odd stuff

 

[Th3j3rk]

Any Canadian vendors out there that supply 4XL t-shirts... Gildan would be nice...

 

[Dono]

Yeah, they clearly don't want to spend any time dealing with new folks who may not order much.
