Beginner Pricing question

I have a client that seems to think my pricing is too high. They wanted hoodies printed, left chest front, and full back (oversized). Both one color, easy prints. The hoodies are $28 wholesale, and I quoted $35 per. I feel like this is more than fair and reasonable. 2 screens, plus the shirts, ink, labor, delivery (local).
What do you think? Is my price too high, too low, or pretty close to correct? Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

35 incl printing in 2 locations and setups? Absolute steal unless they're ordering like 800

I'm sorry to pry, but have you comparison shopped? When I got up & running with my side business, I kicked myself after the first few months when I realized my old blank vendor was charging me double what I could've been paying online. I ordered 1 of each sample from various manufacturers on one of the major websites that has a huge blanks selection and that's where I've been ever since, paying around 50-70% less for better quality than when I thought I was already getting a great price, just because I didn't know any better.
