Mass Produce t-shirts - individual shipping?

Question

I know a thousand other people want to get into this online business, but before I jump in, I want to get a few answers. 

Suppose I wanted to open an online t-shirt business... What I would do is wait until I get the orders and then have the shirts mass-produced and shipped to my customers. 

Who would I contact that would be able to mass produce the design on the shirts - say 200 to 2,000 at a time - onto various sizes and possible sweatshirts as  well, and then be able to ship them individually to each customer? 

Would there be one company that can not only mass produce the shirts, but be able to handle the shipping as well? Not to me, but to the customers. If so, who are they and how much do you suppose it would cost for 200 shirts? How much for 2,000 shirts? 

If no one knows the estimate of the cost, that's okay, but pointing me in the right direction on how to find a company that can do this would be well appreciated. Thank you.

You might look into Cafepress.  You upload your art to their website, and then you can set up an online store selling that art on any number of products.  The quality is pretty decent -- it's a step up from heat press but not quite as good as high quality silk screening.  The huge benefit over silk screening is that you can have as many colors as you want and not pay extra.  An example of their prices are $13.99 for a single white t-shirt with printing on both sides.  Bulk prices that are lower are available.  They have flat rate shipping of $5.  Depending upon how much you planned to charge, you could make $5-$10 per shirt.

Good luck!
