How Much Do Gildan Shirts & Tops Lots Cost Wholesale in 2026?

Gildan Shirts & Tops Lots Run $7 to $129, or $0.30 to $5.39 a Piece

Last updated: September 2026

Bottom line: buying gildan shirts in bulk on Closo Wholesale currently means choosing from 7 live lots priced $7 to $129, with per-unit costs from $0.30 to $5.39. That is a narrow, single-supplier shelf right now, not a deep market to comparison-shop across. See the live shelf: Gildan shirts & tops lots.

All 7 lots on the shelf trace to one supplier, North Pines Inc., and none are listed as fully manifested — every one is an assortment lot, priced on photos and category rather than a guaranteed piece count.

A $7 lot at the bottom of the range likely holds a handful of pieces; a $129 lot near the top, at the $5.39 per-unit ceiling, is priced closer to individual-item resale than a bulk discount.

What a 7-lot shelf means for a buyer

With only 7 lots live, there is no room to shop between suppliers on price alone. Treat the $7–$129 range as the full menu today, and check back on the live shelf on Closo Wholesale before assuming a wider selection exists.

A $60 Gildan Lot Lands Near $2.20 a Shirt Before Resale

Bottom line: a mid-range 30-piece lot priced near $60 lands at roughly $2.20 per shirt once freight is added, well inside the shelf's live $0.30–$5.39 per-unit range. That landed number, not the $7–$129 sticker price, is what decides whether an order of gildan shirts in bulk clears a profit.

Why the shelf's single supplier changes the math

All 7 live lots trace to North Pines Inc., so there is no second-supplier price to benchmark against this week.

At the top of the range, a $129 lot priced near the $5.39 per-unit ceiling behaves differently than the $2.00 mid-range example — that price point suggests a smaller, more curated pull (specific sizes, newer prints) rather than a bulk basic-tee assortment, so the resale price per shirt needs to clear $15–$20, not $8–$12, for the math to work.

None of the 7 lots are manifested, so every purchase is priced on photos and a stated piece-count claim rather than a verified breakdown. Build a 10% shrink buffer into any per-unit calculation until North Pines Inc.

has a delivered order behind it, and remember that marketplace fees, at a rule-of-thumb 10–15%, take a further bite out of the $5.80–$9.80 margin shown above.

Freight assumptions matter more on a thin shelf like this one because there is no second quote to compare against.

A parcel-shipped 30-piece lot typically clears freight at the low end of the 8–12% band used above, but a heavier, larger lot closer to the $129 ceiling can push freight costs toward 15% once packaging and insurance are added, since a single-supplier shelf gives you no leverage to negotiate a flat rate.

Run both the 8% and 15% cases before you commit: on the $60 example, that is the difference between a $4.80 and a $9 freight line, which moves landed cost per shirt from $2.16 to $2.30.

Quick tangent — the live shelf on Closo Demand Insights shows what is actually listed and priced right now; worth a look before your next order.

A 70% Sell-Through Rate Cuts a $60 Lot's Margin by More Than Half

Bottom line: dropping from 100% to 70% sell-through on a 30-piece, $66 landed-cost lot cuts revenue from roughly $300 to $210, taking net margin after fees from about $234 down to $79. Sell-through, not the $7–$129 sticker range, is where most operators actually lose money buying gildan shirts in bulk.

Run the arithmetic. At full sell-through, 30 shirts at an average $10 resale price bring in $300 against a $66 landed cost, a gross margin near $234 before fees. Drop sell-through to 70% — 21 shirts sold, 9 unsold — and revenue falls to $210 while the $66 landed cost does not change, since it was paid up front.

Subtract a 12% marketplace fee on the $210 and net margin lands near $79, a two-thirds cut versus the full sell-through case for a 30-point drop in units moved.

Why a single-supplier shelf raises the risk

All 7 live lots come from North Pines Inc., so a buyer has no second supplier's track record to fall back on if condition or sizing runs off.

A lot advertised as mixed adult sizes that arrives skewed toward XL and XXL can cap realistic sell-through at 60–70% in markets where smaller sizes move faster, and that gap only shows up after the box is opened, not before.

Basic tees also compete on price with new stock from big-box retailers, which caps resale price near $8–$12 even for clean, unworn pieces — there is little room to raise price to cover a slow sell-through.

Freight is the other quiet leak on a small lot. The 8–12% rule of thumb assumes standard parcel shipping; add residential delivery surcharges or split boxes and actual freight on a $60 lot can land closer to 15%, which is a $3 swing most buyers do not model until the invoice arrives well after the lot price was accepted.

Buyers can price around most of this before the lot ships. Cap assumed sell-through at 65–70% on any assortment lot without a confirmed size breakdown, and treat the $129 top-of-shelf lot as a separate bet rather than a scaled-up version of the $60 example, since its $5.39 per-unit price implies a smaller, more curated pull.

On a first order, stay near the bottom of the $7–$129 range to test North Pines Inc.'s condition grading and size mix before committing to a larger purchase.

7 Checks Before You Order Gildan Shirts in Bulk

1. Confirm the price sits inside the live range. Anything quoted well outside the current $7–$129 lot band or $0.30–$5.39 per-unit band on Closo Wholesale needs an explanation before you pay.
2. Ask for the size breakdown in writing. None of the 7 live lots are manifested, so a seller who claims a specific size mix should confirm it before checkout, not after.
3. Get freight quoted separately from the lot price. Budget 8–12% of lot value for a small parcel-shipped lot and confirm who pays it.
4. Check the supplier's order history. North Pines Inc. currently supplies all 7 live lots, so review its registry record closely since there is no second supplier to compare against this week.
5. Run the per-unit math before you click buy. Divide the lot price by the stated piece count — a $60, 30-piece lot is $2.00 a shirt before freight, not after.
6. Cap your first order near the bottom of the range. A $7–$20 test order checks condition and sizing before you commit to a $100-plus lot.
7. Confirm the payment sits in escrow. Funds should hold until you accept delivery, not release the moment you pay.

Red flags that should stop the order

No stated size breakdown, a price more than 20% above the shelf's $5.39 per-unit ceiling, or a seller unwilling to confirm ship-from state are each reason enough to walk away before wiring funds for a Gildan lot.

Run the $60 Math Against a Real Lot Before You Order

Bottom line: the fastest way to test this pricing model is to pull one of the 7 live lots from North Pines Inc., divide its price by the piece count it claims, and compare that figure against the $0.30–$5.39 per-unit range before you commit funds. A $20 lot with 15 pieces clears the same $1.33-per-unit bar as the $60 example above; a $129 lot needs a $15–$20 resale price per shirt to work, and both checks take under five minutes.

Where to start

Open the live shelf on Closo Wholesale, sort by price, and start near the bottom of the range rather than the top, since a single-supplier shelf gives you no second seller to fall back on if condition or sizing runs off the first time.
