T-shirts needed

Hi

I know there are a few companies that make T-shirts on here. I am looking at ordering 25-50 to begin with.

I want good quality, black polo shirts with the following:


Entrepreneurs (In white)

Followed by the cover of my book "Net Success Interviews" below that (See www.InterviewBooks.com for details of the cover).

Then under that in white I would want the text "InterviewBooks.com.


Please advise your price for 25, 50 and 100. I am based in the UK so would need them shipped here.

Cafepress.com is nice and I use them, but they only carry white stuff, so they have polo's, but they're white. I think the polo costs $16 each for orders 1-35, and over 35, you get 35% off. I'm about to order some shrits to promote my site so I can tell you guys how good the quality is.

If the shirts don't necessarily have to be polo shirts you could talk to Hanes and get them made. They have some kind of software you download and create a shirt on, then you send the file to them and they make it.

If the shirts absolutely must be polo shirts then I suggest looking up embroidery in the yellow pages, buying the black shirts seperately, and then take them to the address in the yellow pages. It is always better to do things in person when you can anyway, especially where business is concerned.

hey man...i just checked out the shipping information under my account and it says that it will ship internationally- 8-10 business days, $7 for the first item and $4 for each additional item.

Cafepress doesnt do black shirts tho unless you sign up for a paid account, with my free account i cant do them. if you wanted white shirts with black lettering, i could put it up in my account and leave it at the cost price and you could order from my shop.

you could also check out www.customink.com i dont know if they ship to the UK though.

i almost forgot. i checked out the cover of your book on your site...you might want to consider changing it around for printing purposes. with all those colors on there, if you were to go to somewhere locally or even someone on here that does screenprinting, it would be a hefty charge for the amount of colors that you have there to set up the screen.

oh yea, be sure to check out my store and order something :-D

Cafepress is nice but they are expensive for the quality of work that they do.

Talk to my buddies Martin, Scott or Sarah and mention my Name for a deal. Monster Press I've used them quite a lot and they are just around the corner from my shop. They can get you exactly what you want and at a great time.

I would not use cafepress.com

I ordered shirts from there, and the print only stays for like 2 washes, and then comes off. It is not worth the money.

A site I liked, and the products come really nice is:

www.99dogs.com

It is a good company, with a really nice store front once you get your site up. I order from them, and they are really good. Try them out.

I bought some t-shirt transfers and they were horrible. Not only did they take like 1 hr. per shirt, it looked like i put a sticker on my shirt and the background of the images was all glossy. Almost the whole thing cracked after one wash too.

I was about to order a bunch of stuff from cafepress but I'm doubting them now. I think I might order one from each to test them out.
