T-shirts
T-shirts picks, all in one place: who this category suits, what to double-check before ordering, which part of the QC photos deserves a close look, and the trap newcomers fall for most. Read this page first, then shortlist with confidence.
T-shirts · Quick checks
Good for: Fabric composition is declared, useful for the declaration.
Confirm: Composition, since textile declarations are category-specific.
QC focus: Ask for a collar close-up.
Trap: One distant photograph, low price, fabric impossible to judge.
Fabric weight and how it drapes
T-shirts in this market range from thin promotional-weight cotton to heavy fabrics that hold their shape for years, and the difference is invisible in product photographs. Weight also decides whether a shirt is see-through in daylight, whether it clings, and how it behaves after ten washes. If the listing does not state grams per square metre, ask before ordering rather than inferring from price.
How to read a measurement table
Listed measurements are taken flat, so chest figures are half the circumference and you need to double them. Length is usually measured from the shoulder seam next to the collar down to the hem. Sellers sometimes measure from the very top of the collar instead, which adds roughly a centimetre, so treat a one to two centimetre discrepancy as normal rather than as a problem.
Buying shirts in multi-packs
Shirts are light, flat and compress well, which makes them the cheapest category to add to any shipment you are already sending. Adding three or four to an existing parcel usually costs very little in freight. That is why experienced buyers use this category to fill out a shipment rather than sending shirts on their own, where the fixed costs dominate.
Ordering this through USFans
USFans is oriented towards buyers shipping to North America and Europe, and the interface reflects that in its shipping options. Goods are held at the warehouse and photographed on request. For bulky items, comparing the available lines before releasing the parcel makes a noticeable difference to the final cost.
