Group Sales FAQs

How many designs can we have in our fundraiser?

We like to limit it to 1-2 designs for small groups like teams.  And 2-3 designs for schools or larger groups.  You can add a design for an additional one time fee.
Can we pick our own designs?

YES!  You can send up design ideas or you can give us some design specifics and we can come up with designs for you.  This service is free for the first set of designs.  After that an artwork fee could be assessed if significant time is needed to arrive on designs.
How much do you add to our items for profit?

We do not set the amount, we leave that up to you.  This is your fundraiser.  But a typical upcharge is $5 per piece ($7 for people who are not tax exempt).
How long does it take to get products after the end date?

We strive to get items done as quickly as possible.  This has alot to do with peak times and stock issues.  However we try to stay 2-3 weeks after the sale end date.
When will we receive the profit check?

We like to wait 1-2 weeks after delivery of product before cutting check to make sure we haven't missed an order.  Checks will be mailed to the contact name and address stated on the introduction form.
What fees are involved?

No fee for artwork, unless it takes longer than expected.  At which time we will tell you that we will start to charge for artwork time.  
No set up fees.
You will pay the credit card fees associated with your sale.  This amount is taken off the profit during reporting and before cutting the check.  It is usually around 3% of the total sales.
How do you arrive at invoicing us and profit?

We invoice you for the products order at the amount we charge you.  Then we credit you the total sales from the webstore minus the credit card processing fees and sales tax (if applicable).  That total is subtracted from the original invoice and the amount left over is your profit.
How does tax exempt status work?

We need your tax exempt form to keep from charging sales tax.  The name on the form must match the name of the company on the check.  You can not use someone else's form.
