Polo Shirt: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $10.50 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $3.50 at volume, on a typical 30-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For polo shirt, the drivers are size run, fabric weight, blend, print method, color count — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published supplier pricing shows polo shirts around $8–12/unit at 500 pcs, $5–8 at 5,000 pcs, and $3–5 at 50,000+ pcs from OEM manufacturers, while US-facing wholesale retailers commonly quote polo blanks in the roughly $6.50–$14+ range before decoration. The biggest price movers are fabric spec (cotton vs performance blend), fabric weight, decoration method, and how many colorways or size runs must be produced. The most realistic sourcing routes for this configuration are US wholesale blanks plus local decoration, or overseas OEM/private-label factories for lower landed cost at larger volumes.
