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. Pay Close Attention to Policies

• Customer service policies make a huge difference
  because 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
  companys 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 dont
  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.
