In the screenprinting industry, it’s incredibly important to find a reliable supplier for not only equipment and supplies but shirts as well. The suppliers you choose to do business with become, in effect, your partners. If you fail to meet a deadline because your order didn’t arrive in a timely manner, that reflects on you alone in your customer’s eyes.
Because of a few minor issues with the company we were using to supply our blank t-shirts – namely incomplete orders, out-of-stock items that were listed as in-stock at the time of order, and high shipping costs – we decided to place our last order through a different website – jiffyshirts.com.
At first glance, the website looks…simple. It’s not flashy. It’s not distracting. It’s exactly what it should be – an easily navigated site for blank shirts (among other items like hats, towels, tote bags, shorts, hoodies, etc). There are no links to other sites or paid ads, and I dig it.
In the middle of the home page is a shipping timetable calculator that displays the amount of time left to order to receive your shipment by a certain date. Very handy feature. There are navigation buttons to narrow down what you’re looking for by style, brand, material, color, collar…you name it. These filters are very helpful, especially considering the wide range of products they offer.
Once you select a specific item and click on it, you’re taken to a page that lists the details of the item (material, weight, available sizes and colors, as well as other features). There is also an up-to-date inventory counter displaying the exact number of each color and size available. The shopping cart and checkout procedure is a breeze, and they even accept PayPal which is wonderful as most of our customers make their down payments through PayPal and it eliminates the need to withdraw the money, which saves us time.
Okay, so the website’s nifty. Big deal. Can they actually deliver a good product quickly?
You bet!
First off, for comparison sake, I can tell you that the shirts from jiffyshirts.com were 17 cents less than the same shirts from our other supplier. Oh, and did I mention *Free Shipping* on orders over $65? Our 102 shirt order ended up being $40 cheaper than it would have been from the other guys, AND it was delivered not only complete but in half the time.
It would be an understatement to say that I’m impressed with jiffyshirts.com. Since I’m not the under-stating type, I’ll skip it and just say that we’ve definitely found ourselves a new shirt supplier.
