CONSIDERATIONS DUE TO THE SUPPLY CHAIN, PRODUCT AVAILABILITY & PRODUCTION TIMES
One thing Covid has done is hi-light the need to plan ahead. Let's be honest, many people simply don't plan well, then end up paying more for their lack of planning. That's fine, if you have money to burn...
The reality is that if you plan better, you can reduce your costs. That's one of the things we do for you.
With Covid there are even more factors to consider. Let's consider a tee shirt order.
So here you have several issues in play. Lack of product, lack of staff, and delayed shipping. Take into consideration that many businesses have closed down and things get even tighter.
Plan ahead?
No one can guarantee product availability. Things seems to be improving, but planning ahead is your best plan. Waiting until the last minute isn't a viable option any longer.
The best way for you to see first hand the issues with inventory is to use our apparel links and see for yourself. Some vendors have actually started labeling regularly in stock items as "High-Stock" items.
Apparel links are on both the Screen Printing & Embroidery pages.
What we do is exactly what your employee who buys print and graphics products for you does, except we're way better at it and we have better resources.
Do we broker your work? Yes. Do we mark it up like a broker? No. You pay our cost.
Your employee places orders with vendors, thus they are brokering on your behalf.

Our clients pay us a fee to manage and purchase for them. We act as their employee, and always in their best interest. Realistically, most clients purchase 1-2 times a month or less. That leaves us with A LOT of free time, so we can take on many more clients. Basically, our client base splits the cost of our salaries, and each pays a very small fraction of the total cost. It's really that simple.
Very simple, look at the pricing and compare it to your other vendors. We lay it out and show you the cost, and we can document it. Ask your other vendors to tell you their cost. They will never reveal their costs because it will reveal how much they overcharge you.
We have nothing to hide. We are telling you up front that we will show you our costs, and we provide copies of invoices from vendors to our clients to prove it. NO ONE ELSE would ever do that. They can't, at least not without embarrassing themselves by showing you the cost versus what they charge you.

Not at all. Our vendors are located throughout the country and drop ship products to our customers, regardless of location. This is especially true for promotional items, as well as screen printed and embroidered products.
Many of our vendors are national and have production facilities strategically located to ensure 1-2 day shipping to almost anywhere in the country.
Email is preferred, for several reasons.
No. Our production times are the same as anyone in the industry. Just because you're paying less doesn't mean you have to compromise. That's not how we roll.
If there are production issues, like we've seen with Covid and Supply Chain issues, we will convey to you the specifics of your order and be completely honest as to why there may be a delay, if there is one. If there's no inventory available, there is going to be a delay. We have no control over that.
No. Credit costs money. If we offer credit we have to raise our prices to cover the cost. That's counter to our objective of lowering your expenses..
We also pay our vendors at the time we order, thus getting even more savings for our clients. They're not financing us so we get better pricing, which means our clients benefit..
As stated, we do not offer credit terms. Instead, most of our clients provide us with credit card or debit card information for processing at time of order. We do add 3% to cover processing fees for credit/debit cards.
Our fees are very low and most clients simply pay their annual fee in one payment. However, some clients opt for monthly billing.
