Stock Consistency

[UK Printed Mugs]

I think this is why you find some suppliers also print in-house (e.g. Coralgraph). They basically buy in large amounts of stock to ensure they can always print for clients as well as getting decent wholesale price and sell on surplus. Probably something we might be forced to do soon with stock issues becoming more of an issue.

Yes v frustrating. I don't often use coralgraph but didn't know they printed themselves too. Interesting. I only print small scale but on wide range of products. I try and buy extras every time i order to maximise value of shipping but i only have so much room and money. I really don't want to borrow as I'm growing. Maybe we need a community swap shop or something. I have quite a few tshirt blanks i won't use now I've changed supplier for example and might be cheaper to swap value for value with other subbers for products we may no longer need.

We constantly have this issue with suppliers. We have grown a lot over the past couple of years but finding it hard to keep blanks in stock. You bring out new designs only to find you can’t get the blanks as they are out of stock. When you call up they say 2-3 weeks.

We spend £1000’s a week on blanks. No matter how many we buy to keep in stock we always manage to get caught out.

It is 400ml bottles at the minute. One of our biggest sellers and we have had to take them off our catalogue.
Hopefully back in stock next week.

Yes it is white we are after.
{supplier name removed by admin} isn’t a supplier I use for reasons many on here have discussed before.

Must have missed that lol. I use so many different suppliers most have something I can only get from them lol. Don't order in huge quantities like you so generally have to try and look at what I need and go with where I can get most items together from to avoid tonnes of shipping charges. I WISH there was a 1 stop shop like hobbycraft for sub and I could pop round corner and get what I need when i need it lol

Sorry folks, I have to keep removing the name of one particular supplier. This is at their request.

So we received our suppliers Christmas catalogue last week with some really nice items in. I worked my backside off over a couple of days to get a load of this on. Hurray! First order last night! Check on Suppliers website, out of stock already! Call the supplier and they don't even have an order date for this particular item
What hope have we got building sales before Christmas? I know they'll start and build stock on the run up to Christmas but then it will all disappear just as quickly.
This is one of the bigger 'Clothing' type suppliers not sublimation but bloody annoying just the same!
