Anyone know why there site has been down for a few days now? Hope it's not bad news for them .

I hope so, in fact it was nice to see that you thought of that , this has to be the first time I've seen a nice comment or conceren for Subli Supplies as I do feel that the impression given that due to past history for what ever reason that people can deride their website and goods. If I was a new person that was going into sublimation and joined this forum the adverse comments without meaning to can have a negative view of their bussiness (it probably did). If they have gone it would be a loss, as any company gone means less choice for us which is not good. So I hope it that it is a tempory setback for them as I sure we have all stuggled in the past at various stage in building our bussiness.

Has anyone that has used them in the past tried calling them to see if everything is OK?

I've got a phone number, but as I haven't used them before, I don't feel right about calling them

I didn't think Sublisupplies had a bad reputation? I know the link with Sublination probably didn't help but Kevin has probably got nothing to do with them now. Don't think I ever actually used them myself. Sublimation is not a large market and with the exchange rates the way they are and the drop off in business over recent times then life as a business owner will never be easy.

I understand where your coming from but they did'nt say (kevin ? who is he) but said :subli supplies: big difference, I don't know who kevin is, nerver done bussiness with him, only Nicki, who was nothing but a great help and when she did'nt have she would send me else where for it. I have'nt used the for them last 6 months but up to then I found her to be more than helpful, sending samples when asked and prices was not set in stone, I have also had a small order of BMS and found them to be the same, also offering the same service, when you get a good service of someone I always make a point if they have what I want I go there first, even if it cost more, maybe I'm old fashioned . ( my age I think ) If subli supplie has gone who will supply my pallents of mugs.

Kevin is ex-ovner of sublisupplies. it used to be called subli-nation. subli-nation usede to had VERY good forum. Subli forum is the place where we "meet" firs time me and justin, JSR, Stich-up and others

No one said sublisupplies had bad reputation. I must say when subli-nation used to wxist it was the best place to shop with fantastic support from Kevin. dont know what happened now with them but it will be a shame if they "gone". dont forget that competition is good for us - subli printers. more suppliers = lower prices.

It was my understanding that Subli Supplies were actually a franchise type operation set up through Subli-Nation. Kevin wanted people to become area distributors and Subli Supplies were the first ones. Soon after they set up Subli-Nation went bust.

One possibility is that the web site was hosted by Kevin and that may be where the problem lies. Having said that the sale that went on at the end of May whereby all stock items were reduced by 30% suggested it was more of a closing down sale than a special offer. I haven't dealt with them for a while because I try to cout down on carriage costs and use companies who offer more than just subli items ( ie vinyl etc ), but the service from Nicci was always good, in fact mine was one of the quotes stated on the front page of the website commending the good service.

If they have decided to call it a day I hope they chose to do it and it wasn't forced on them.

Hate to be opportunistic given the tone of this thread, but...

So if you have the phone number why not give them a ring - would seem the easiest option

I've just left a message on their answer machine, hopefully they will call me back
