View Full Version : T-Shirt Supplier - Who do you use?

I've been trying to get catalogues from Suppliers, all of which I've used in the past.

Starworld, UKL and BTC. Sent requests weeks ago to all of these companies and still nothing arrives. Starworld just responded to my email telling me they are only doing cartons which is no use whatseover.

I get regular updates (junk mail) from Ralawise who I also used to use but stop using them due to ongoing delivery problems.

I know we'll all have different experiences with these companies but I wonder who other members are using at the moment? Most of my work will be regular T-Shirts, I used to like the Starworld brand but FOTL/Gildan would work fine.

My misunderstanding, Starworld will supply individual garments but only have the one price bracket.

My main 2 suppliers are BTC & Elms and Elms. The latter is good for small orders because the order value only needs to be £100 for free carriage. After that I use prestige, and if really desparate Ralawise.

I don't get discount, not sure if they have a policy the more you buy its gets cheaper, if anyone know where I can get these Henbury polo shirts cheaper than Ralawise. They have always deliver the next day. I have to buy 50 bags so I shall ask them for discount, I have to buy them even if I don't, the client likes them and wants them.

When we did more clothing I used a brand called James & Nicholson. With it not being that known you don't get it compared to fol etc. The company that supplies the range (which is very good) is www.fusiblesystems.co.uk . They are a smaller family business compared to some of the others and great to deal with. Stock does come from Germany I believe so 2 day deliveries.

If that code is the Bella Flowing T then Ralawise have it as a new addition for this year but none in stock yet.
Single price £5.05 Pack 12 - £4.55 each plus vat

Prestige single price is cheaper but carton price is same. According to Henbury site only those 2 and Pencarrie stock them. I don't have an account with PC

Second request I got the Starworld book through very quickly. Also received the latest Ralawise book through today, again very quickly. Nothing from BTC or UKL so that's made the decision a lot easier.

Great catalogue from Ralawise, changed a fair bit since I last used them.

Used they're shirts before, they're not bad but I won't buy from Novachrome out of principal, previous problems. Gone back to using from Starworld and all seems fine.

I use Starworld for cotton shirts Paul, that said, I did get some childrens subli-shirts from them last order and they're great, they're like football shirts with a small pattern on, should print and wear really well. I really like they're cotton shirts for the money, used 1000's over the years and always been good.

Justin

This is the price list they emailed me, not as clear as the printed one I have so I'll maybe scan that one and re-post.

Just a update we do now get discount if our order is big enough, you do have to ask for it , we have found them to be more than helpful, we had to wait a small while for things they don't have in stock, we tell the customers and they make the decisions to go ahead or not, we have not lost any orders yet as the wait has not been to long. Hope this is useful

Hi Newbi

Without being rude, you have just posted a thread requesting the names of UK suppliers on a thread that lists all the UK suppliers. Instead of asking for the names why not read the thread you posted in?
