I've been trying to get catalogues from Suppliers, all of which I've used in the past.

Starworld, UKL and BTC. Sent requests weeks ago to all of these companies and still nothing arrives. Starworld just responded to my email telling me they are only doing cartons which is no use whatseover.

I get regular updates (junk mail) from Ralawise who I also used to use but stop using them due to ongoing delivery problems.

I know we'll all have different experiences with these companies but I wonder who other members are using at the moment? Most of my work will be regular T-Shirts, I used to like the Starworld brand but FOTL/Gildan would work fine.

My misunderstanding, Starworld will supply individual garments but only have the one price bracket.

My main 2 suppliers are BTC & Elms and Elms. The latter is good for small orders because the order value only needs to be £100 for free carriage. After that I use prestige, and if really desparate Ralawise.

I don't get discount, not sure if they have a policy the more you buy its gets cheaper, if anyone know where I can get these Henbury polo shirts cheaper than Ralawise. They have always deliver the next day. I have to buy 50 bags so I shall ask them for discount, I have to buy them even if I don't, the client likes them and wants them.

When we did more clothing I used a brand called James & Nicholson. With it not being that known you don't get it compared to fol etc. The company that supplies the range (which is very good) is www.fusiblesystems.co.uk . They are a smaller family business compared to some of the others and great to deal with. Stock does come from Germany I believe so 2 day deliveries.
