New York Tops & Shirts Lots Run $1,122 to $5,390
Last updated: September 2026
Closo Wholesale lists 71 live tops & shirts lots shipping from New York, priced $1,122 to $5,390 a lot — $13.20 to $33.00 per unit. That range is the real starting budget for anyone sourcing wholesale shirts New York buyers can currently find on the live shelf. See the live shelf: Tops & Shirts lots from New York.
The $1,122 floor buys a smaller, tighter case pack; the $5,390 ceiling buys a deeper pull with more units and broader style variety. Neelam Fashions Inc. is the primary supplier on this shelf, and its pricing spans that full range depending on pack size and assortment depth.
Why per-unit price is the number to compare
At $13.20 to $33.00 a unit, this shelf sits solidly in mid-tier apparel pricing rather than bargain-bin closeout territory. A buyer comparing two New York shirt lots should compare per-unit price first, since a $2,500 lot at $15/unit (about 167 units) behaves very differently in freight and prep than a $2,500 lot at $30/unit (about 83 units).
A $1,122 Lot vs. a $5,390 Lot: New York Shirt Cost Breakdown
The 71 live lots on this shelf span $1,122 to $5,390, and the table below runs both ends through landed cost so a wholesale shirts New York buyer can see the real per-unit math before ordering.
| Cost component | Entry lot ($1,122) | Deep-pull lot ($5,390) |
|---|---|---|
| Lot price (Closo Wholesale) | $1,122 | $5,390 |
| Per-unit price (shelf range $13.20–$33.00) | $13.20 | $33.00 |
| Implied unit count | ~85 units | ~163 units |
| Freight from New York (rule of thumb, 6–9% of lot value) | $67–$101 | $323–$485 |
| Prep & photography (rule of thumb, $0.50–$1/unit) | $43–$85 | $82–$163 |
| Subtotal landed cost | $1,232–$1,308 | $5,795–$6,038 |
| Landed cost per unit | ~$14.49–$15.39 | ~$35.55–$37.04 |
| Total to open the lot | $1,232–$1,308 | $5,795–$6,038 |

Worked example on a mid-shelf lot
Take a $2,200 lot at a mid-shelf $22/unit — 100 units. Add 8% freight ($176) for a landed cost near $23.76 a unit.
At a 2.5x resale target, that shirt lists for roughly $59.40; even at a moderate 65% sell-through (65 of 100 units sold before markdown), the lot returns about $3,861 in revenue against $2,376 in landed cost — a gross margin near 38% once the unsold 35 units are marked down to clear.
Why manifested status matters most on the largest lots
Of the 48 catalogued lots tracked against this shelf, zero currently carry a full manifest, so the unit counts above are estimates from lot price divided by per-unit price, not a confirmed count.
On a $1,122 entry lot a 10% miscount is a rounding error; on a $5,390 lot the same miscount is worth over $500 of inventory that may not be in the box. Neelam Fashions Inc.
is the shelf's sole listed supplier, and buyers ordering at the top of the range should request a category or size breakdown before committing, since New York apparel lots often mix silhouettes (button-downs, tees, blouses) that resell at different rates.
Escrow protects every order on this shelf the same way regardless of tier: payment is held in Closo escrow and released only after the buyer accepts delivery, which shifts the real risk from payment fraud toward assortment accuracy — the reason a manifest request matters more here than a payment guarantee would.
Quick tangent — the live shelf on Closo Wholesale lots shows what is actually listed and priced right now; worth a look before your next order.
Three Places a New York Shirt Lot Loses Its Margin
Bottom line: the gap between a 20% margin and a 40% margin on a New York shirt lot is rarely the $1,122–$5,390 sticker price — it is silhouette mix, sell-through timing, and unmeasured prep labor. Buyers evaluating wholesale shirts New York listings on Neelam Fashions Inc.'s 71 live lots tend to compare only the $13.20–$33.00 per-unit range and skip the factors that decide whether that margin holds.
The first is silhouette mix inside an unmanifested lot. With 0 of 48 tracked lots currently carrying a full manifest, a buyer cannot confirm upfront whether a lot skews toward button-downs, blouses, or basic tees — categories that resell at meaningfully different price points.
A lot priced at the shelf's $22 average per unit but weighted toward basic tees might only support a $35–$40 resale price, while the same average weighted toward blouses could support $55–$65, a swing that changes projected margin by 15–20 percentage points before a single unit ships.
Freight assumptions break at pallet scale
The second is treating freight as flat regardless of order size. A $1,200 lot ships closer to parcel rates, but a $5,000+ lot moving out of New York typically needs freight service, where carrier minimums can push the freight line to 8–9% of lot value rather than the 3–4% a small lot pays.
A buyer who budgets freight as a flat percentage across both tiers can end up $150–$250 short on a large order.
The third is sell-through timing. Apparel lots move fastest in the six to eight weeks after arrival; a lot that sits unlisted for a month before photography begins loses that window, and every extra month of holding cost — storage, listing fees, eventual markdowns — quietly erodes 5–10% of the original projected margin.
A $3,000 lot expected to return 35% can land closer to 25% purely from a slow start, with the inventory itself unchanged. Processing labor compounds this: unpacking, steaming, and photographing a 150-unit lot runs 20–30 labor hours that rarely make it into the initial margin estimate.
7 Checks Before Buying Wholesale Shirts from New York
Run this list against the live shelf before checkout
- Confirm the lot's per-unit price against the shelf range of $13.20–$33.00; anything priced above that on a comparable pack needs a reason, such as a heavier blouse or outerwear mix.
- Request a silhouette or category breakdown from Neelam Fashions Inc. before buying, since 0 of 48 tracked lots currently carry a full manifest.
- Recalculate freight for order size — a lot near the shelf's $5,390 ceiling often needs freight service, where carrier minimums run 8–9% of lot value.
- Match lot size to your listing capacity: a 163-unit deep-pull lot needs roughly twice the photography and prep hours of an 85-unit entry lot.
- Plan to list within the first six to eight weeks of arrival — a slow start on apparel can erode 5–10% of projected margin through holding costs.
- Confirm escrow terms before funding an order: payment releases to the supplier only after you accept delivery, the same protection at every price point on this shelf.
- Set a resale floor before buying: at a landed cost near $14.49–$37.04 per unit depending on tier, target at least a 2.5x markup to protect margin.
Pick a Lot and Run the Numbers
With 71 live lots priced $1,122 to $5,390 and landed cost running roughly $14.49 to $37.04 a unit once freight and prep are added, anyone comparing wholesale shirts New York listings now has the full price ladder needed to size a first order before checkout, not after.
Turn the checklist into an offer
Pick one lot from Neelam Fashions Inc. on the live shelf on Closo Wholesale, request a silhouette breakdown, then run the price through the landed-cost math from the sections above: add 6–9% for freight, apply a 2.5x resale target, and plan to list within six to eight weeks of arrival.
A $1,500 test lot that clears that math cleanly is a safer first buy than a $5,000 lot chosen on price alone.
