The absolute most often asked question that I receive is, “Christine, where is the best place to buy (name of item)?” I cover great places to buy items to embellish and use in your Silhouette Cameo or Cricut small business in supplier spotlights. (See more of these at this link.) Today, we are looking at where to buy tee shirts. I asked my savvy small business owners in The Insider’s Club their favorite places to shop for tee shirts to create this list – and added a few of my own.

How to Decide Which Supplier is Best for Your Business?
Here is a step-by-step list to decide which supplier is right for you:
- Browse the websites above and eliminate the ones that don’t have the style of shirt that you are looking for.
- Research online reviews for your chosen suppliers.
- View the shipping times and warehouse locations. To save on shipping and get your products faster, pick a supplier near your location. (This is great when you run out of something and need it quickly!)
- Look at return policies and support materials for sellers available on the supplier’s website.
- Contact the supplier and ask any questions you may have before placing an order. Pay attention to how quickly and thoroughly your questions are answered.
