Ok guys, so this evening I went to Queensway Shopping Centre to check out the T-shirt prices with my mum, coz the one Steph and Elyse went to told them the final price was $17, which was quite expensive.

When I got there I could only find 2, while the others were closed, so I'm planning on going back tomorrow morning to check them out, before emailing Mr Tham the options. When he tells me which is the best, I'll post it up here just to inform you guys :D

Number of T-shirts to be ordered: 41

Shop #1: Ultra Supplies
Website: www.ultrasupplies.com.sg
Price offered: $12-$13
Estimated time it will take: 2-3 days

BAD
- They focus more on printing DOCUMENTS instead of T-SHIRTS, so I'm afraid the quality won't be as good.
- Also, when I gave the woman a brief description of the T-shirt (I didn't show her the design because she was quite busy), she just told me the price and how long it would take, that's all. It was quite vague, and despite the price + estimated time it will take for the T-shirt to be printed, it sounds quite unreliable to me.

GOOD
- Price is good, but I didn't show her the design so it might change.
- The time taken to print is good too :D

Shop #2: 98 DESIGNS
Website: http://98designses.blogspot.com/
Price offered: $20
Estimated time it will take: 2 weeks

BAD
- The price is mad expensive, even when my mother tried to bargain with her (and you know how good mothers are at bargaining.)
- Time taken is quite long too...

GOOD
- The shop focuses on T-shirt designing.
- The woman offered to show me a sample without me having to ask, and when I glanced at her collection of T-shirts, I could see that there was quite a variety of schools/companies who had ordered from her.
- She told me that she could help EMBROID (which is like stitching) our names onto the sleeves instead of printing, so that it would last longer :D
- She said that she would use "silk screen printing" to make the design, so that the words would not fade even after countless times of ironing/washing.
- The lady also suggested that I moved the words "S1'09/'10" from the sleeve to the bottom corner of the shirt so that she could decrease the price and we wouldn't have to pay so much.
- Even though it takes 2 weeks for her to finish the T-shirts, she said that the latest I could give her the design + deposit is TUESDAY. And she won't charge us extra fees even though she will have to rush it out. Both her and my mum told me that other vendors would charge "Express" fees if they were required to print the T-shirts in a short amount of time :D Thus, we should be able to wear our T-shirts during CNY :D
- Overall she was kinder and in my opinion more professional. Also, this shows the amount of "satisfied corporate customers" who ordered from 98 Designs.

Shop #3: JWoods Sports World
Website: http://www.jwoods-sports-world.com/
Price offered: $19-$20
Estimated time it will take: unconfirmed

BAD
- The guy said that it would be difficult to be able to get the T-shirts ready by 12th Feb, which is when we're having our CNY Celebration. And he said he's not sure when he can finish our order, or if he can avoid charging us extra fees for rushing the order. So I'll have to get back to him on how much it'll cost altogether.
- Price is a little too high. I tried negotiating but he said if we wanted quality (e.g. silk screen printing the words) the minimum price we can get is $19. And at that price we won't be able to embroid our names on the sleeves too, he can only stamp them on. Stamping is not really good as the graphic tends to crack after repeated washing + ironing.

GOOD
- The shop focuses on apparel printing.

Shop #4: Reflection Apparels
Website: www.ultrasupplies.com.sg
Price offered: $17-$23
Estimated time it will take: 1 week

BAD
- It'll only cost us $17 per piece if she heat-transfers EVERYTHING on, and that means the graphics won't last as long, I think.

GOOD
- Min. price is quite low
- Her shop focuses on apparel printing COMPLETELY, and she sounded quite serious + professional.


All in all, I think Shop #2 is our best choice SO FAR, but we'll have to wait for Mr Tham's decision.

Rachel.
