    sorry..i mostly do thrifty stores...I like variety.
    There is a king dollar in my neighborhood that has a mountain of 100% cotton t-shirts for a dollar in large kids' and small adult sizes and really neat earthy colors..the brand name on all these shirts is "sonoma". They rock.

    Maybe if you have King Dollar in your area you might wanna check them out.

    the cheapest i've found is www.blankshirtstore.com, they've got shirts for about a buck and a half and they ship pretty quickly.

      If you want blank shirts in bulk, check out The T-Shirt Warehouse. www.thetshirtwarehouse.com We purchased Blank White tees.....100 Gildan Heavyweight for $1.29 a piece...and FREE SHIPPING....after 4 trips back, I can not tell you how great these tees are...thick, preshrunk...and the Free Shipping deals rock. We bought 100 color tees this past weekend for a halloween party, we were able to mix colors and sizes within that lot...and free shipping....$219....and ..we got also had a choice of Hanes Heavyweight, Jerzees 100% or the Gildan...YOU will not find another supplier who is willing to bend over backwards like this company...you can email me with concerns...I am a long time and faithful buyer now....they have been around for over 5 years...and I cant say enough good things about them at www.thetshirtwarehouse.com

    Not sure on the full legality of this but I've been doing it for years. I don't think it's really well known, but you can buy from the big shirt wholesalers without being a business! When you go to their site, they all have electronic registration, and when it asks for your tax ID, just use your social security number. The 2 biggest distributors I think are (edited to hopefully avoid coming up in google searches) A l p h a and B r o d e r. Like I said, I don't know if this is a grey area or what, but since I've made accounts, I've dealt with both over the phone with no problems. It'll save you money over a place like blank tees which is who I bought from when I first started printing.

      Drew,
      Just so you know, the tax ID thing that you got going on is not a grey area.
      It's a crime known as "tax evasion"
      It's what they sent Capone to Alcatraz for.

      Just a heads up.

        Leave your legal advise at home. your ss# may be used as a fed tax ID or you can get the fed tax ID quite easily they both go back to you. I use my fed ID for biz tax only. If you are doing that much biz see a qualified acct. small quanities of new t's wht no pocket should b about 1.30+ship+tax

          Not so. If you do not have a resale certificate, and you are not registered as a nonprofit organization then you must pay tax. Yes, using your SS# will link back to you, but only so that during an investigation you can be tracked down and brought into compliance with the law.

          He is correct, though. It is super easy to get a resale cert. And it's a better idea to just do things the correct way, than to worry about having your ass handed to you later on.

    Does anyone know where I can buy quality plain shirts in bulk in Canada for a reasonable price? Everytime I look for bulk shirts, all I can find is American stuff. There must be a supplier in Canada. I'd really like to avoid paying customs fees and other crap. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)
