Delivery & Pricing

How we calculate our prices, minimum order value and delivery prices

As a trade wholesaler to the sublimation printing industry we have a minimum order requirement of £39 ex VAT. All prices on our website are quoted ex VAT. Generally across our site we have endeavoured to keep our prices as low and competitive as possible and not introduce pack sizes on most items to allow our customers to be as flexible as possible when ordering. To allow us to provide the excellent service we aspire to (in terms of order fulfilment, checking orders, quality of items, good packaging, instructions, free samples, providing Paypal as payment method and speed in turnaround of your order) this policy is only viable when customers order at the £39 + level.

We have a very simple pricing structure, reflecting the prices our courier charges us, based on order value not weight – just type your postcode into the calculator and the site will work it out for you.

Pricing Info – How we calculate our Minimum order and Delivery prices:

  • We have a minimum Delivery charge as we are a wholesale company so our margins are lower than for retail or printing, to keep our prices to a minimum to allow you to be able sell on printed.
  • Most of our items are despatched by courier as we are located in a rural area. If we have to / need to despatch by post we have a 6 mile, 20 minute round trip to town to send out, so the postage charge then has to cover this plus all the other standard charges for packaging (up to £1 but at least 50p) recorded delivery, paypal fee, printing of the invoice, time taken etc (when we have non mainland UK orders to post, which are too expensive to courier, we can stand in a queue at the Post office for up to 15 minutes!) These costs are the same for a large order as a small one.
  • We will only send recorded, even small orders, as every time we try to send non signed for we get items that don’t turn up – which we then have to replace at more time and cost!
  • To offset this we offer free shipping at the low level of £85 an order (most sublimation wholesalers have no free delivery option at all), to encourage you to order more and make us all more profitable! Unfortunately this is not available to our customers abroad.
