mugs sourcing

met up with herman today to take alook at mugs and the printing of mugs. we were sourcing around to see where we could get the best deals. sadly, not in singapore. the shop we went to at queensway shopping centre quoted us at about S$15 a mug and there were no individual boxes for each mug if we ordered in bulk. if we wanted the box, we had to pay extra cost. if we wanted to individualise each mug with a different name, it will not be considered bulk order anymore. haiz. we made a trip up north to see how the pricing was like. lo and behold, we found a shop doing the same thing for only RM10 per mug and it included individual boxes for the mugs. if we wanted to put individual names, each mug will only cost RM12. the mugs were of the same quality available in singapore. damn the cutthroat prices in singapore. no wonder so many people go up north to print their wedding invitations. it is really much cheaper up north.
