Jack,
Oh boy, this one chapped me butt. The shirts were delivered 2 weeks after
the supposed due date, I have no knowledge as to the final cost but do know
that 99% of them are in someone's closet and will not be worn. The customer
is a bank (also wife's employer) and the guy in charge of putting their
employees in clothing has no concept of what is appropriate for their
employees to wear. Now after 20+ years my wifey is not the 115 lb girl she
once was but neither is she overly large. She put this v-neck/skin
tight/stretchy thing on and her first reaction was no way on earth was she
going to wear this in public let alone at her place of employment. Would
have looked really nice 20 years ago but not happening today. My beef with
this guy goes back to the very beginning of our biz. He hounded us to get
their logo done. Rejected several versions until we had Janel make one for
us. His comment was WOW, you did really well, maybe the best I have seen.
Being new and stupid (expecting some biz from them) we ate the digitizing
charge. Result was he orders 6 shirts. Calls me several months later, bank
has acquired several more branches, lots more people, I spend 2 hours in his
office, won't kiss where he wants me to. No order. Lesson learned. Then the
shirt thing in reference. The guy has no clue. He called last week, says
come see me. I told him I really didn't have the time to waste at this
point. He hung up on me. I haven't lost any sleep over it.

Hey Folks, I would appreciate some opinions here if you are willing.
Customer wants 400 shirts (Port L440c) with 4200 stitches on left chest. Shirt is $7.99, on an order like this I figure a 40% markup on garment and $3.50 for the logo. shirt delivered for say $14.50. Am I too high?
Customer says he can get these for $10.00 ea and now the kicker, he is going
to order them tomorrow and have them by Monday. I think my chain is being
jerked.
Thanks,
Herb Royal Embroidery
