Bayou hits its low per-unit — down to $2.92 — on a single 12-pack, while Bulk Apparel needs $1,000+ in one order just to reach 10% off.
Same price on every size at Bayou: a 4XL is the same $4.25/unit as a small, while the brands Bulk Apparel carries upcharge for 2XL and up.

On small and mid-size orders, yes. Bulk Apparel's discounts don't start until $250 in one order and only reach 10% at $1,000+. Bayou is a flat $4.25/unit from the first 4-pack, dropping to $2.92/unit by the 12-pack — no spend target. On very large brand orders, Bulk Apparel's catalog and deeper volume tiers can close the gap.
No and no — Bulk Apparel is open to the public with no order minimum. Bayou is the same. The difference isn't access, it's the price model and the product: Bulk Apparel resells first-quality brand goods; Bayou passes on liquidation overstock by the pack.
They're tiered by total spend: about 5% over $250, 7% over $500, 10% over $1,000, 12% over $2,500, and 14% over $5,000. Bayou's price drops by pack size instead — $4.25/unit at the 4-pack down to $2.92 at the 12-pack — so you don't need a big order to hit a low per-unit cost.
No. Bayou prices every size the same — a 4XL is the same $4.25/unit as a small. The brand blanks Bulk Apparel carries add a size upcharge starting at 2XL, so extended sizes is where Bayou's gap is widest.
Selection. Bayou stocks around 85 curated overstock styles, not a full multi-brand catalog. If you need a specific Gildan or Bella+Canvas style and color, Bulk Apparel's range is deeper; if you want the lowest per-unit on solid blanks, Bayou wins.
Use Bulk Apparel for big-volume brand orders or a specific style and color from their catalog. Use Bayou when per-unit price matters most — especially on small-to-mid orders and extended or plus sizes — and a curated set of overstock blanks works for you.
