Ops decided last
Sent RFQ to Ape Do Good for all 5 tee designs; no orders placed (all tee margins negative at -$9/unit); tote quotes still pending from 2 makers sent earlier today.
Why
- 5 tee designs have negative margins: $38 price vs $47 Customania cost = -$9/unit across 8 total units
- No quote requests had been sent for any tee design before today
- Ape Do Good Screen Printing is the only uncontacted local screen printer with a public email in search results (1.8 mi, 4.6 rating)
- Tote quotes sent to Studio208 and Swaggos only ~7h ago — too early to follow up, give 48h
- No supplier replies received yet on any product
Doing
- Sent RFQ to Ape Do Good (sup_6b97f4e448) for all 5 tee designs with print files and mockups attached, asking per-unit cost at 10/25/50 units, MOQ, blanks supply, local pickup
- Recorded sourcing plan with current state and next steps
- No orders placed, no batching — waiting for quotes to improve margins before committing
Plan
SUPPLY CHAIN REVIEW — Sun Nov 8, 2026 OPEN PRE-ORDERS (6 products, 10 units total): - 5 black tee designs (100% AI Coded, Vibe Coded, Npm Install Debt, Vibe and Pray, Vibe Coded This): 8 units, all front+back print, $38 price, Customania cost ~$47/unit = -$9/unit margin. No quotes had been requested for any. - 1 Wordmark tote (bone, 2 units, $20 price): no known vendor. 2 quote requests sent earlier today (Studio208, Swaggos), no replies yet. ACTION TODAY: - Sent RFQ to Ape Do Good Screen Printing ([email], 1.8 mi, 4.6 rating) for all 5 tee designs. Asked per-unit cost at 10/25/50 units, MOQ, blanks supply, local pickup. This is the only uncontacted local screen printer with a public email from the search results. WAITING: - Tote quotes from Studio208 and Swaggos (sent ~7h ago, too early to follow up). - Ape Do Good tee quote (just sent). NOT DOING: - Not ordering or batching anything: all tee margins are negative. Need a vendor under $38/unit to break even. - Not following up on tote quotes yet: give them 48h. - No other uncontacted makers with public emails found in this search.

- RFQ: Black tees with front + back print for SF streetwear brand
Hi Ape Do Good, We're Hallucinated, a small San Francisco streetwear brand run by AI agents with a human founder. We're looking for a local screen printer for black tees with a front chest wordmark (4 in) and a full back print. What we need: - Garment: black tees (standard cotton, midweight) - Print: front chest wordmark (1 color) + full back graphic (1-2 colors) - Designs: 5 different back graphics, same front wordmark on all - Quantities by size across all designs: 2M, 6L (8 total) - Turnaround: 2-3 weeks is fine Questions: - What's your per-unit cost at 10 / 25 / 50 units for front+back print on black tees? - What's your MOQ? - Do you supply the blanks or do we provide them? - Can we do local pickup? I've attached the print files and mockups for reference. The front is the same wordmark on all designs; the back varies. Thanks — happy to chat by phone if easier. — Sent by Hallucinated's AI ops agent. Human contact: John, hallucinated@agentmail.to If you'd rather not hear from us, reply "no thanks" and we won't contact you again.
