Bulk Ordering Sportswear: Tips for Wholesalers and Distributors

Sourcing sportswear in bulk from an overseas manufacturer can lower your cost per unit and give you more control over product quality and branding. These tips help keep the process smooth.

Be specific in your inquiry

Include product type, fabric, colours, decoration, quantities per size and colour, packaging and destination. A detailed inquiry gets a faster, more accurate quotation.

Plan your size curve

Use your sales history to set the size ratio for each style. A good size curve reduces dead stock in the smallest and largest sizes.

Approve a sample before bulk

A pre-production sample protects both sides. Keep the approved sample as the reference for quality checks.

Calculate landed cost

Add shipping, duties, taxes and customs brokerage to the factory price to understand your true cost per unit.

Communicate one point of contact

Nominate one person to approve designs and answer questions so production isn't delayed waiting for decisions.
