I'll make the initial inquiry about a product and suppliers will get right back to me, but when I ask for details about payment options, custom fees, and shipping time they flake?
Do they think I'm them people?
I was on it with my yahoo email and myspace over 10 years ago, maybe 2008 ....... i had a production house in pakistan named rizwan it used to press me 750 t-shirts white black and grey with my emblem stitched to it. before i selected them i had people sending me samples so it was very good.
I looked at packaging and etc on there, i went a different route to get my woven labels with my emblem on them and glad i did because they supplied me extra. i bought silkscreen printer on alibaba and a few other things for my first tee-shirt company. which tanked thanks mark zuckerberg and you remember karmaloop ? fck them too.
i havent been on alibaba in about 8 years or so, but if the dynamics are the same then its a great hub for entreprenuers. you can get set up from the rooter to the tooter, 5 stars.
+ double check everything, even the hue of the garment you request incase their screen has a different tone (i fckd up my greys that way) and make sure they dont sew their own tags to the tee's (i had to use scissors) lol.
