HERE IS what you need to know
Read over the information below and if everything sounds good click the button at the bottom of the page to create your account.
Account Approval
You must have an established brick and mortar store to purchase wholesale from us. We do not sell to solely online stores. If you do not have a resale tax ID, we are prohibited from selling wholesale to you.
We require Resale Tax ID (Sales and Use Tax Permit, License, Certificate, Etc.) for retail partners. Clients are not subject to wholesale discounts until they can provide a Resale Tax ID. We require retail sales tax ID's for all of our clients regardless of your location.
We obtain the right to deny applications or deactivate accounts if we find a shop is in violation of our policies.
Order Minimums
Order minimums are stated in each item’s description. Reorder minimum is 12 per design and color.
Opening order minimum is $500. To keep your account active we ask for a minimum order of $250 per quarter.
Order Turnaround and Seasonal Orders
We produce to order. Turnaround time for wholesale orders is 4 weeks. To keep consistent stock we recommend reordering every 3-4 months, depending on your sell through. Be sure to allow extra time during the holiday season to receive your items. To receive holiday items in time to sell during that season you must order before October 15th. For any order where the items are seasonal, plan to order those items during the season before.
Requesting Changes
Some of our designs are specific to a certain town or region. If you would like to have a version of that design for your town or region include that request in your order notes. There may be a small design fee for the change if the variation is not one we already have.
Pricing
There are no quantity price breaks for wholesale items. There are discounts for bulk orders.
Wholesale pricing is subject to change year over year.
Suggested Retail is included in each item’s description. You may charge more than the suggested retail, but not less. If you would like to hold a sale on Brands and Threads products, you may not discount the products more than 15% without written approval.
Getting Your Order
All wholesale orders are shipped. If you would like to pick up at our shop location you can use the code PICKUP when ordering. We also offer local delivery within Tyler for $30 and $50 for outside of Tyler up to half an hour from our shop.
Displaying in your Shop
You can choose to have your order come retail ready. We will fold, sort, and size tag your order for you. Select this option before checkout and input your total garment quantity.
For every order each garment comes with a Brands and Threads hang tag attached. This must not be removed, but barcode or pricing stickers may be placed on the back.
Garments should be folded or hanging, and kept in a neat appearance. Shops that do not display Brands and Threads apparel in a fitting manner may not be eligible to reorder.
Products can not be sold at any events or markets at which Brands and Threads will also be selling without written approval.
Online Sales
You may not sell our products online or through other channels without approval from Brands and Threads. Only designs not currently sold on our online retail shop will be approved for online sale by wholesale customers.
Selling on sites such as Amazon, Etsy, or Ebay is NEVER allowed and doing so will close your wholesale account.
Reorders and Backorders
Ink color may vary slightly from order to order.
In some instances the blank garments for your order may be out of stock. We try our best to use styles and colors with high stock levels, but in the instance this happens we will contact you. You may choose to cancel that design from the order, order all the sizes that are available, or credit those items to your next order.
Important things to know about the screen printing process
Because each garment is hand loaded onto the press placement variations of up to an inch are possible and not considered a misprint.
We’d like to produce a completely perfect print every time, but due to its manual process screen printing always has some amount of error. We are not liable for minor inconsistencies found in the print.
There may be up to a 3% shortage of the order total quantity due to the nature of the screen printing process. In some cases an extra of another size will be included in an order. These are shirts we supply in an attempt to keep spoilage percentages as low as possible. However, this can also mean a shortage of up to 3% on your order. Upon completion of your order, all the garments are counted, and you will receive a final count sheet. If there is a shortage of the quantity ordered for that design, those garments can be included in your next order at no cost, essentially a credit. You do not have to include those items when placing a reorder.
We are fortunate to work with some really great customers and companies. But, every once in a while, we will have a potential customer who is rude or inappropriate. We reserve the right to not accept your order if you are unpleasant or difficult to work with.
