Has anyone ordered from Smartblondes.net (wholesale side of smartblondes.com)?  I am thinking about ordering some of the 9"x12" parking sign blanks.  I have some signs that I would like to cut out of vinyl and they also say that they are coated for sublimation so I could use them for both.  I am just looking for any feedback on the products before I order them.  These are the ones that I am looking at.

A woodworking friend of mine orders licenseplates from them all the time for different sports teams. He uses them for roof's on birdhouses he builds. They seem to be a good company.

Thanks bigfoot.  I did a search on here before I posted but didn't see anyone posting any feedback about them.

I would not mind getting some stuff from them but I got to find $100 worth of stuff. that is the only downside to their wholesale part of the site.

Do you know when your woodworking friend is going to place another order?  Maybe we could add a few items that we want to his order and do it that way if he didnt mind.  Atleast to get us a few items to try before placing a $100 order on something we aren't sure if you want to carry or not.

I will check and see. If anything maybe 2-3 of us could go together and order and then I can ship your items out to you. I would order probably $30-$40 worth of stuff

That sounds like a good idea.  I have seen a couple other people in the sublimation part that said something about trying to find some sign blanks and wanting to try out smartblonde as well.

I saw that on the website.  I just wonder how they look quality wise.I was trying to find sign blanks around 7x10 - 9-12 for some vinyl signs and came across there that I could use for the vinyl I want to do and sublimation.  I dont want to spend $100 on an order just to try a few plates to see if I like them.

The dont have anything as small as I want.  The smallest I see if 12"x18".  I am looking for something between 7"x10" - 9"x12".  I know I could get the ones from sign warehouse in half but I dont have a break to make a straight clean cut.
