A useful supplier relationship makes both the first order and the next replacement straightforward. Compare service details alongside the products and prices.

Ask for a clear quotation

Identify the garment codes, quantities, colours and sizes. Check decoration, delivery and VAT separately so quotations are comparable. Confirm any alternatives before allowing substitutions.

Check the branding process

Ask how artwork is checked, what proof you will receive and which decoration methods suit the chosen clothing. Keep the approved details for future orders.

Confirm delivery rather than assume it

Ask about current availability and the agreed dispatch or delivery timing for your order. A general website statement or old blog promise is not confirmation that a particular personalised order can meet your deadline.

Think about ongoing support

Check how to contact the team, request replacements and resolve a problem. For repeat requirements, ask how product changes, new starters and size exchanges will be handled. A smaller, well-managed range may serve your business better than an unnecessarily complicated uniform list.
