Okay, I feel like this is a really dumb question, but I have to ask it since I might be having my first fundraiser. Yea! I've been searching previous threads and haven't been able to find my answer.

Does the host of the fundraiser receive the shipment to distribute to everyone? Or does every order get direct shipped to the guest? Also, do I help sort the orders with the host if it's shipped to them?

Thanks for your help!
 
It's just like a cooking show..the fundraiser organization ships unless the customer does direct shipping.Offering to help sort the order is a personal choice. I do it if I'm close to the organization. I'm a teacher, and when an organization at my school does a fundraiser, I help them sort. There's nothing wrong with you if you don't help. I had a church do a fundraiser, and I didn't help them.

That's what I was thinking, but just wasn't sure. Thanks for your help and your guidance on the sorting part.
