Hi All,

I got in touch with a T-Shirt printer earlier this week as I need 5 T-Shirts printing with a bespoke 2 Colour design for Sunday because I'm exhibiting at a trade show.

I had an email this morning saying they will be unable to deliver until midday Monday.

Can anyone do this or recommend anyone please. I'm based in Birmingham.

Thanks!

You would think that wouldn't you...

Yes I've tried Googling, the problem with the one I have found currently is that for some reason the T-Shirts are £18 per T-shirt, which is about £10 more than many of the ones I had been looking at before (and indeed paid for).

Might be £10 more but what price not having them on Sunday!

No, I agree.

The whole attitdue of 'I NEED NOW' but 'wont pay extra' just yanks my chain.

Like I said, I need a holiday.

Think I've reached 'Griff from the Call Centre' levels of customer service.

I know what you mean - £10 FFS, it's not as if it's a sum worth worrying about.

I'm assuming there's been a fair amount spent on the rest of the expo yet quibbling over £40 confused

Woah woah woah...

Let's just back up a bit here...

There's a lot of assumptions going on here!

The additional cost was not due to the order being last minute, it was their standard price. I would happily pay extra for a fast turnaround but that would mean paying more on top of the already considerably higher price than other companies were charging (Nearly 100%) more.

If £10 is not a price worth worrying about then please do send me a cheque for £50 and I will go for the original company I found this morning.

There's an expression about pennies and pounds that fits well here!

Not really.

You got let down by supplier A - costs of which are irrelevant.

You now neeed supply of something for Sunday which is needed quickly and are bothered about the cost.

Cake and eat it.

I can see both sides but a day before the show £40 isn't worth worrying about to get the job done.

I agree with you, though all the post was looking for was an alternative... which happily I found smile
