Experience with Alibaba.com

2 pointsendlessvoid941 comment

I have an online brand that I'm looking to sell some cheap tshirts with a simple logo for a small revenue stream to complement my site.

Has anyone used alibaba.com to order any such items? I've never done anythign like order 2000 shirts from china, hah.

thanks.

We used alibaba to order foam surfboards from china. Even with proper design specs, it still took 3 shipments before they got it right. Things just get lost in translation sometimes. Finally got it in the end though. I guess tshirts will be simpler.
