Wholesale Clothing Pricing

When you hear the words “wholesale pricing”, the first thing that comes to mind is that the prices offered will be less than the retail price. But wholesale pricing does not mean that you, the general public will be paying what the manufacturer sells it to a distributer for. Wholesale pricing is usually indicative of being sold at a price lower than retail, and you usually need to purchase more than one item to qualify for that price structure. Take for example Costco, while they sell you items at prices lower than retail, you usually need to buy in bulk such as a package of 8 steaks or a case of hash browns etc. Obviously your not paying what Costco pays, but nonetheless you do get a wholesale price on your purchases.

 

Another example is wholesale flowers, a company like wholesale flowers and supplies will sell to the public at wholesale price points, but it's certainly not what they pay for products as they are most likely a distributer for bulk products manufactured and or imported by other companies. While they buy in bulk to keep the pricing low enough to be called wholesale, you usually do not have to don't have to purchase an entire lot to get a good price, often you only have to buy one item. But usually your choices are limited to just one style or brand.

The same applies to clothing and for all that matters most other goods. While you may feel that you should be able to buy factory direct because you have the money to do so, most manufactures will not sell to you at wholesale prices unless you are a licensed re-seller, and some request that you have related business. Groups needing Hawaiian shirts wholesale can purchase in bulk from Wave Shoppe Hawaiian shirts at prices that are slightly above cost to manufacture.

 

Forget about buying Hawaiian shirts for $5 as that is a price point from nearly 2 decades ago. And you have to be careful with whom you purchase from, some companies online offer shirts for $15.95 each, but they are made overseas, under who knows what kind of conditions, and sizing can be way off as much as an entire size. Wave Shoppe Hawaiian Shirts offers wholesale prices on bulk purchase and you can get men's as well as women's sizes, something many clothing wholesalers do not offer.
