SAVE YOUR MONEY ON A BULK SHIRT ORDER BY DOING 6 
IMPORTANT THINGS.
• WHETHER YOU ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO BUYING T-SHIRTS FOR YOUR COMPANY, TEAM, OR GROUP 
OF FRIENDS, OR YOU WANT TO START YOUR OWN BUSINESS, BUYING YOUR SHIRTS IN BULK IS THE 
BEST WAY TO GO. PLACING A BULK SHIRT ORDER, FOR WHATEVER PURPOSE YOU NEED A LOT OF 
THEM, CAN SAVE A LOT OF MONEY AND LET YOU BUY DOZENS OF SHIRTS AT A FRACTION OF THE 
“NORMAL” PRICE. PLUS, BUYING SHIRTS IN BULK GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO SELECT FROM AN 
EXTENSIVE ARRAY OF STYLES, SIZES, AND COLOURS FROM ALL THE BEST LEADING MANUFACTURERS.
• HAVING SO MANY DIFFERENT CHOICES TO CHOOSE FROM CAN MAKE THE PROCESS OVERWHELMING 
AT TIMES, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU WANT TO GET EVERYTHING RIGHT, AND SECURE THE BEST DEAL 
FOR YOUR TEAM OR ORGANISATION. THE GOOD NEWS, HOWEVER, IS THAT WE HAVE MADE THE 
ENTIRE PROCESS EXTREMELY EASY FOR YOU WITH OUR CHECKLIST OF THE 6 WAYS THAT YOU NEED TO 
FOLLOW AT ALL COSTS IF YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR MONEY WHEN BUYING SHIRTS IN BULK.
1. ESTIMATE YOUR NEEDS
• EVEN BEFORE YOU DECIDE ON BUYING SHIRTS IN BULK, OR YOU THINK THAT 
IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT YOU ORDER SHIRTS IN BULK, YOU NEED TO THINK 
AGAIN. IT IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO GET A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF HOW 
MANY SHIRTS YOU ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO NEED. 
• THE REASON YOU NEED TO DO THIS BEFORE YOU DECIDE 
WHERE TO BUY T SHIRTS IN BULK IS BECAUSE IF YOU GET TOO MANY YOU 
WILL JUST WASTE YOUR MONEY. BESIDES, AN ESTIMATE CAN HELP YOU FIND 
THE BEST DEAL AT THE LOWEST PRICE. SO, IN OTHER WORDS, YOU ARE 
SAVING MORE MONEY.
• HOWEVER, YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT IT IS GOING TO BE AN EASY TASK IF 
YOU NEED AN ESTIMATE FOR A SMALL ORDER SUCH AS A FAMILY EVENT, 
BUT IT IS GOING TO BE A LOT HARDER FOR BUSINESS-CENTRIC NEEDS. FOR 
THE LATTER, WE RECOMMEND CONSIDERING YOUR DESIRED DEMOGRAPHIC 
AND LOOKING INTO YOUR RELATED MARKET.
2. USE A GROUP ORDER FORM
• ANOTHER WAY TO GET AN ACCURATE COUNT IS BY USING A GROUP 
ORDER FORM AND INCLUDE ALL THE SPECIFICATIONS IN THE FORM, 
INCLUDING COLOURS, STYLES, AND SIZES. ASK THE PEOPLE YOU 
KNOW TO FILL OUT THE FORM AND THEN TALLY THEM TO SEE WHAT 
YOU NEED. 
• WHEN CHECKING THE FORMS, MAKE SURE TO NOTE THE MOST 
COMMON COLOURS, STYLES, AND SIZES SELECTED BY PEOPLE AND, 
THEN ORDER A FEW EXTRAS, SUCH AS EXTRA T-SHIRTS IN SIZE 
LARGE OR IN SMALL, JUST IN CASE. MAKE GOOD USE OF THE ORDER 
FORMS TO GET A GENERAL IDEA ABOUT THE NUMBER OF SHIRTS 
YOU NEED TO ORDER IN EVERY SIZE.
• YOU CAN ORDER EXTRA SHIRTS FOR ANOTHER REASON – 
FUNDRAISING EVENTS. SUCH EVENTS ARE VERY COMMON FOR 
TEAMS AND ORGANISATIONS, SO YOU CAN OFFSET SOME OF YOUR 
EXPENSES.
3. CHOOSE PLAIN WHITE TEES
• YOU CAN GET T-SHIRTS IN EVERY COLOUR THAT IS ON THE SPECTRUM, BUT DO 
YOU KNOW WHAT SAVES MONEY WHEN DEALING WITH BULK WHOLESALE T-
SHIRTS? WHITE T-SHIRTS BECAUSE THEY ARE CHEAPER THAN COLOURED 
SHIRTS. 
• SO, EVEN IF YOU ARE SAVING A DOLLAR ON ONE SHIRT, IMAGINE WHAT AMOUNT 
IT WOULD ACCUMULATE TO WHEN YOU BUY THEM IN BULK. SO, WITH A SMALL 
ORDER, THIS MIGHT NOT LOOK LIKE A BIG DEAL, BUT YOU CAN ACTUALLY END 
UP SAVING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS WHEN YOU ORDER HUNDREDS OF SHIRTS.
• AND IF YOU ONLY NEED COLOURFUL SHIRTS, THEN YOU CAN DYE THEM 
YOURSELF, DECORATE THEM OR PAIR THEM WITH COLOURED PANTS TO 
COORDINATE WITH YOUR COLOUR SCHEME. SOME OTHER GOOD WAYS ARE 
IRON-ON PATCHES, SCREEN PRINTING, OR VINYL HEAT TRANSFERS TO MAKE A 
WHITE SHIRT INTERESTING AND UNIQUE FOR YOUR BRAND, ORGANISATION
, OR TEAM. BESIDES, YOU CAN CUSTOMISE THE LEFTOVER WHITE SHIRTS FOR 
YOUR NEXT EVENT.
4. SELECT A VENDOR SPECIALIZING BULK ORDERS
• IN ORDER TO GET THE BEST DEAL ON A BULK 
SHIRT ORDER, YOU MUST SELECT A VENDOR 
SPECIALISING IN BULK ORDERS BECAUSE 
THEY OFFER BETTER DEALS THAN PLACES 
LIKE SMALL SHOPS OR EVEN SUPERMARKETS. 
ANOTHER PERK OF SPECIALISED VENDORS IS 
THE ARRAY OF DISCOUNTS THEY OFFER ON 
DIFFERENT TYPES OF BULK ORDERS. SO, 
LOOK OUT FOR THE DISCOUNTS. 
5. CONSIDER SHIPPING COSTS
• IT IS NORMAL TO FORGET OTHER 
SECONDARY, BUT EQUALLY IMPORTANT, 
COSTS WHEN ORDERING T-SHIRTS IN BULK
, BUT YOU MUST KEEP SHIPPING COSTS IN 
CONSIDERATION IF YOU ARE PLACING 
YOUR ORDER ONLINE. ONLINE VENDORS 
ALSO CHARGE FOR HANDLING AND 
SHIPPING OF THE SHIRTS, SO GO FOR 
THOSE THAT OFFER FREE HANDLING AND 
SHIPPING.
6• CU.S TPOMAER SYERV ICCE PLOLOICIESS MAEKE  AA HUTGET DIFEFERNENCTE BIEOCAUNSE  TO POLICIES
WHEN VENDORS DO NOT HAVE GOOD POLICIES, IT CAN END UP 
COSTING YOU MONEY. ONE EXAMPLE OF A POLICY THAT YOU NEED 
TO AVOID IS THE NO RETURN POLICY, SO YOU CAN GET STUCK 
WITH SHIRTS IN THE WRONG SIZE OR COLOUR. AND THEN YOU 
WILL HAVE TO SPEND THE SAME AMOUNT ALL OVER AGAIN TO GET 
THE SHIRTS YOU WANT. SO, WE SUGGEST CHECKING THE RETURN 
POLICIES, RESTOCKING FEES, AND HANDLING FEES.
• ALSO, LOOK AT THE SHIPPING POLICIES, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU 
WANT YOUR ORDER IN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME. FOR 
INSTANCE, SOME VENDORS HAVE VERY LOW SHIPPING PRICES, BUT 
THEY SHIP FROM OVERSEAS WHICH CAN TAKE UP TO MONTHS. SO, 
EVEN IF YOU SAVE YOUR MONEY, THE TIME DOES NOT SUIT YOU. 
BESIDES, PACKAGES OFTEN GO MISSING IN SUCH CASES AND 
INTERNATIONAL VENDORS ARE NOT THE BEST AT SENDING OUT 
REPLACEMENT ORDERS.
• THEREFORE, WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHECKING A COMPANY’S 
FAQ PAGE AND POLICIES TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW WHAT 
YOU ARE GETTING YOURSELF INTO BEFORE YOU PLACE YOUR BULK 
SHIRT ORDER.
FINAL TAKEAWAY
• INVEST YOUR TIME IN DOING ALL THE RESEARCH YOU CAN BEFORE YOU 
PLACE YOUR BULK SHIRT ORDER. TAKE YOUR TIME FIGURING OUT HOW MANY 
SHIRTS DO YOU NEED WHILE KEEPING ALL THE FEES IN YOUR MIND AND 
RETURN POLICIES INTO CONSIDERATION. AND DON’T FORGET TO OPT FOR 
REPUTABLE BRANDS FOR THE BEST QUALITY OF SHIRTS ACCORDING TO YOUR 
REQUIREMENTS. AND IF YOU KEEP ALL THE ABOVE-MENTIONED POINTS IN 
MIND, WE ARE SURE THAT EVERYTHING WILL GO WELL FOR YOU.
