How it works
In-hand vs order-taker, without the confusion
Pick the model that matches how your volunteers can work. Then call 1-800-443-5353 or request the guidebook and we will match a program to your calendar.
In-hand programs
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1 | The group orders cases from us. |
| 2 | Product arrives and selling begins immediately at the retail price. |
| 3 | Supporters pay on the spot. The group keeps its share the same day. |
Order-taker programs
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1 | The group receives free brochures, a free personalised online store, or both. |
| 2 | Participants take orders and collect payment as they go. |
| 3 | The order is submitted online or by phone. The group pays only for what actually sold. |
| 4 | Product is packed and shipped to the school or organization. |
| 5 | The group distributes to supporters and keeps its share. |
Shipping, in plain language
