How to Plan a Football Jersey Wholesale Order

Decide what each quantity is based on

Start with customer orders, recent sales, recurring enquiries and stock on hand. Confirmed orders describe immediate commitments; enquiries suggest possible demand. Label them separately so interest does not become an assumed sale.

For a new jersey business, use a focused range and stock you can manage. Write down why you are buying each combination so you can review the allocation when you see the sales results.

• Customer orders: record the confirmed requirements.
• Retail stock: record the intended quantity and reason.
• Existing stock: check it before adding another purchase.

Define the combinations before allocating quantities

Name each line using the exact product details. Style, version and size need separate fields. Home and away styles need separate entries, as do different versions of the same style.

Check the relevant size information before choosing the size mix. Size labels may fit differently across versions. Resolve unclear customer requests first, then allocate quantities to the combinations you can identify accurately.

Build a worksheet you can review line by line

Give every combination its own row. Include a demand note alongside the quantity so you can distinguish customer commitments from stock intended for later sales. A small spreadsheet or a plain text list is enough if the fields are clear.

This table is illustrative only. Its placeholder products, size labels and quantities are planning examples and do not represent current availability.

Reconcile the totals before sending the list

Add the quantities within each style and version, then add those subtotals into the overall order quantity. Independently sum every row once more. Both routes should produce the same total. This catches missed lines and quantities copied into the wrong group.

When a size quantity changes, update its row, the relevant subtotal and the overall total. Keep one current version of the worksheet to avoid conflicting instructions.

Illustrative allocation summary
Style A — home — Version 1
M: 5 | L: 4 | XL: 3
Style A subtotal: 12 pieces
Style B — away — Version 2
M: 3 | L: 5
Style B subtotal: 8 pieces
Overall quantity: 20 pieces
Sum of all worksheet rows: 20 pieces
Reconciliation: totals match

Confirm the completed worksheet and order conditions

Share the completed list with LotJersey and check it against the order confirmation. Availability, cost, shipping arrangements and expected timing need to be confirmed for that specific order. If a combination changes, revise the worksheet and check the totals again before approval.

• Check every style, version, size and quantity.
• Resolve substitutions and requested product details explicitly.
• Confirm the full business receiving address and recipient details.
• Clarify the process for reporting discrepancies.

Use the worksheet to check the shipment

At arrival, count the stock against the confirmed worksheet row by row. Record received quantities beside ordered quantities and note any difference. Check visible product details too; a matching overall count alone does not prove that every combination is correct.

Report discrepancies through the agreed process with clear records. After checking the shipment, allocate stock to customer orders and retail inventory, then handle fulfilment through your own business. Use subsequent sales and remaining stock to refine the next wholesale allocation.
