For DTF shops, distributor changes honestly matter more than people think.
One stock issue on Bella Canvas 3001s can delay:
merch drops
school orders
same-day jobs
customer pickups
No US exclusivity announced yet, but after Hanes and Gildan Canada, feels like the blank apparel world is consolidating fast.
Curious what other DTF shops think.
Hit up The Prime Restaurant in Plano the other day and honestly? One of the best Turkish meals I’ve had in the US.
Döner was solid, but the cağ kebabı was the move. It’s that horizontal-spit lamb kebab from Erzurum, cooked slow over wood fire. Juicier than regular döner and you can actually taste the smoke. You almost never find it done right over here.
Lahmacun was legit too. And the desserts… bro. Rice pudding was perfect, and the kazandibi (that Turkish burnt milk pudding where they caramelize the bottom of the pan and flip it so the burnt side ends up on top) was exactly how it should be. Chewy on top, creamy underneath.
Vibe was great too. Felt authentic without trying.
If you’re into Turkish food, just go.
Feels like Etsy sellers, POD shops, and DTF stores all got hit hard this year with USPS and Amazon shipping increases.
Honestly feels like local pickup, bundle orders, and gang sheets matter more than ever now.
Curious how everyone else is handling it. Raising prices or just eating the extra cost?
