mr.yuck Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Yeesh. Do you know how they are shipping your product? If you left it up to their discretion you may be getting effed in the b. I knew a dude years ago that owned a shipping and logistics company and he was telling me there were two ways to ship from asia to here. Full containers and partial containers... ugh... and then high cost shipping vs low cost shipping with some kind of weird multiplier that kicks in. Hang tight bro. I think you can ship by boat for half that. Im gonna try to find some shit that explains this better than I can remember this weird shipping conversation over beers lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems though when you have enough juice you should be able to negotiate that down, even getting to where you can split costs. probably more difficult when you're just starting out though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I mean, from what I understand shipping is done by volume. The more product you stuff into a can, the cheaper your shipping gets per unit anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.yuck Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 @glorydays I would keep digging in to it if I were you. If I was still in contact with this guy I would link you up directly with him. If you dont want to fight the shipping fight, your tshirts to your doorstep as is are $10 a blank and you have the cut you want. Unless you are trying to stay at a firm price point or profit margin, just bump your finished price up by $2.50 and you erase shipping completely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delv Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 @glorydaysim just catching up to your current thinking. Exciting times. Curious how the art works. Do you just mockup something simple and get your artist to make it hi definition? Can we see anything yet? Do you have social media? Does the brand have a name? ( I might have missed all of this). Keep it up bud. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
