BMS are very good particulary with tech advice too, I won't buy my mugs anywhere else. I also like the Transfer press and Xpres.

Hi Greg,

as paul said - there's a sticky with a list of suppliers (many people), and I have looked at all of them and used a few. My own 'personal' opinion is that BMS is 'second to none' and I will only stick with them for most (if not all) of the kit I get.

This plus the personal approach with Martin from BMS being a very active member of this forum - you can't go wrong (he was even answering PM's from me last night well after hours).

:-)

Whilst eBay is a mixed bag of suppliers with some good prices to be had, the problem is continuity of supply with some of the sellers on there. You can buy items and you don't see them advertised again for weeks on end.

Having said that though, the hometogifts web site seems to have radically reduced stock offerings nowadays. I don't know if that down to cost of sublimation blanks in general, or people just moving into other print technologies such as dtg?

I add my positive thumbs up for BMS.

However, I would suggest that you work on having several suppliers for your main items. All you need is one supplier to let you down at just the wrong moment and you'll be in a heap of trouble trying to satisfy your customers.

I'd like to use more of the suppliers listed here: [url="http://www.dyesubforum.co.uk/forum/view ... f=17&t=110]viewtopic.php?f=17&t=110[/url] but the ones that look promising don't take PayPal payments.

Another thumbs up for BMS.
It would be nice if someone stocked some of the blanks that the American suppliers do, still looking for belt buckles.
