Pehle apna customer aur budget tay kijiye, phir supplier ke minimum order, GST bill, fabric, packing aur transport ke baare mein poochhiye. Chhota pehla order dijiye, bikri dekhiye, phir reorder kijiye.

Buying shirts wholesale for resale is simple once you know what to decide and what to ask. Use these steps whether you shop in a market like Gandhi Nagar, Delhi, or order through an app.

Step 1: Decide who you are selling to

Write down your main customer — office-goers, college students, families, or kids — and the price band they normally buy in. This decides fabric, fit and styles. A shop for daily-wear customers needs different shirts from one for formal buyers.

Step 2: Find suppliers you can verify

Look for suppliers with a proper address and GST registration that you can check on the government GST portal. A supplier who is easy to verify is easier to trust with money. You can learn how to verify BazaarPro as an example.

Step 3: Ask these questions before ordering

  • What is the minimum first order?
  • Will I get a GST bill for every order?
  • Which fabric is each design — cotton, poplin, poly-cotton?
  • How are the shirts packed, and in what size sets?
  • How does transport work — to my station, who pays, and will I get the LR number?
  • What happens if a piece is defective?

Step 4: Check quality before you commit

Inspect a sample, not just the top piece. Our guide on how to check shirt quality lists what to look at: collar, stitching, buttons and fabric.

Step 5: Plan a first order you can sell

  • Begin with basics in popular colours, then add fashion designs.
  • Spread the order across sizes your customers actually wear, not just one size.
  • Keep the first order modest; watch what sells for a few weeks, then reorder the winners.

Step 6: Agree payment and transport clearly

Know whether payment is online, at the counter or cash on delivery, and confirm the transport to your station. Keep the bill and the LR copy until the goods are checked and accepted.

How it works at BazaarPro

  • First order from ₹10,000; you can mix BazaarPro’s own brands in one order.
  • GST bill on every order.
  • Payment online, at the counter, or courier COD (cash on delivery only on courier orders).
  • Goods sent to your station, with the LR number on WhatsApp.
  • Rates are shown inside the BazaarPro app.
