Volume Pricing

After 500+ units? While we keep our wholesale pricing as sharp as possible, in some cases we may be able to further ‘sharpen the pencil’. Likewise most garment decorators offer special pricing for large volumes, as there are economies of scale at play. Talk to your distributor or decorator for more details.

We hold deep inventory of popular styles here in NZ. Especially in NZ’s favourite colour! (Yes Black is still the new black.) On each of our product pages you can find available inventory and delivery dates for upcoming shipments.

If you are looking at volume, you may be considering buying off-shore. After all, it looks tempting to jump online and order clothing from somewhere like Ali Express. Is it a good idea? You decide!

To Buy Off-Shore...Or Not?

	Buy your own product from Asia	Cloke ex-stock
Lead Time	Usually several months - shipping alone can be 6 weeks. Beware of suppliers quoting unrealistic lead times.	Same day dispatch.
Purchasing	Foreign exchange movements, shipping costs, insurance, customs duties, hidden costs for inspections, testing etc.	NZ dollars. A garment will cost $XX. Period.
Ability to Change	None once signed off - ensure you don't have plans to change your logo!	Talk face-to-face with your local decorator. Easy to change logo right till time of decoration.
Fit	Asian sizing is typically quite different to NZ.	Designed for NZ'ers, by NZ'ers.
Quality	Debatable, depends on the supplier.	Lab tested for colourfastness, shrinkage, pilling etc.
Minimum Order Qty	Typically in the hundreds.	1 unit - easy to get extras if required.
Reliability	If something goes wrong, your supplier (and money) may disappear.	We're here - owned by the same family since 1966. Cloke products are guaranteed.
Your Time	Coordinating all the above while dealing with different timezones, languages and cultures takes hours and hours, even for professionals. Don’t forget the cost of your time when pricing.	Enjoy the time we’ve saved you.
