Blank T-Shirts

JulieG · September 24, 2007

I know this question has been asked before, BUT, I need to know where I can get some delivered to Canada for cheap. I need at least 23, but if they are a good deal then I will get them for everyone, so 51.

I am looking for blank t-shirts, preferrably in chocolate brown or natural or white (not see through though) that we can but a t-shirt transfer on with our logo for the men. We are planning on just the men right now cause we got Pash's and flip flops for the ladies. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What do you consider cheap? I can take a look around Boston... maybe I can find you some at the outlets in Boston and ship them to you. I bet most suppliers charge you way more than they need to for shipping..

Just a warning, iron on transfers don't work so well on dark clothing! I tried doing an iron on onto a navy shirt... and you can't see it at all!! You might want to test it on something that color before you buy t-shirts in bulk.

Well, they were $4 for $10 at Michaels and I thought that was a good price, but they only had see through white ones and no other colour that would work for us.

Also, I need them soon, I leave in 27 days for my wedding, so I need to get them soon. I should have done this a long time ago I know, but it was a money issue, so I had to get the bigger priorities purchased first.

FH has a bunch of shirts that he did the iron on transfers for for his band, and he did them in black and forrest green and navy and they all worked out perfectly. I wonder if its the brand of transfer paper you used.

It's quite probable! I buy the cheap stuff

With the transfers it usually works a lot better if you get the transfers made for dark shits when you are putting them on any colored shirt. Avery makes them for dark tshirts. The transfer has a base layer under the transfer image so that the colors come out more vibrant.

The Michaels near us has tshirts in just about every color you could want. Maybe you can order them through Michaels and pick them up at the store to save on shipping costs?

If you are really stuck trying to find them I would be more than happy to buy them here and ship them to you if it works out fairly cheaply for you. Just let me know if that would help you out. If you calculate the shipping, we are located in Albany, New York zip code 12203 in case the shipping calculator needs a zip code.

when i was shopping for my transfer paper, i did see some that was specific to dark colors. so be sure to look for that if you go that route!

The Michaels near us had no brown, no natural and only see through white ones. So, I don't even know if they have them in the other colours and they were just out or what. I went on the first day of the sale though. The sale is over now, so that would not matter.

I have been searching on line and the shipping is a lot of money. I know they would weigh a lot, but come on $35 for shipping, seems crazy to me.
