Sep 23, 11:55 AM: Shirt Inquiry #1
This is the email I sent out about special ordering some t-shirts:
Greetings,
I was wondering if I would be able to special order some BIG sized shirts i.e. 4x, 5x, 6x?
if so…
what would be the minimum number I would need to order to make it worth your while? 10? 50? 100?
what would be the unit cost per shirt?
would you mind if I resold the shirts? for example on ebay or possibly my own site.
I would of course pre-paid for the order. how long (ballpark) do you think it would take to receive the shirts once you receive payment?
If you have any questions for me please feel free to ask. Thanks for you time, I look forward to your reply.

And here is the responce i got from the very first email:
what would be the minimum number I would need to order to make it worth your while? 10? 50? 100?
Which shirts? Larger sizes really come down to color availability and whether or not there are alts. This is what makes or breaks doing custom larger shirts for folks.
I can do wholesale runs of 25+ shirts. I usually sell them for $12 each, any style up to 2X, but in this case I’d need find out how much extra the bigger size shirts are. It’s probably $2-$4 extra per shirt.
If you just want one or two for yourself, I can tack them onto a normal reprint and charge you once they’re in. Those would just be retail + whatever extra fee there is.
would you mind if I resold the shirts? for example on ebay or possibly my own site.
As long as you don’t take credit for them and I’m supplying them, it’s A-OK.
I would of course pre-paid for the order. how long (ballpark) do you think it would take to receive the shirts once you receive payment?
If you’re getting bulk quantities of a design, I can send those out to print ASAP. My printer usually takes about 10-14 days.
If you just want one shirt, or a couple of each one, it’ll depend on what’s on my reprint schedule. Assume less than four weeks. I’ll let you know if any of your choices aren’t slated to reprint soon.
If you have any questions for me please feel free to ask. Thanks for you time, I look forward to your reply.
No worries, thanks!
