Hello! I wondered after I hit the send button(on PP) how long does it take for the company to issue the organization a check? Does it take the same amount of time as the product being shipped? This is my first fundraiser and its tomorrow and I know that this question is going to pop up! Thanks for your replies!

It takes about a week. It used to come just before the products but now that the products come so quick it's probably the same day!
 
Hi Kristi,Congratulations on your first fundraiser! That's exciting. As for your question, it really depends on the company and their policies. Some companies may issue the check immediately, while others may have a processing time of a few days or even a week. It's always best to check with the company directly to get a more accurate answer. In terms of timing, the check may not necessarily be issued at the same time as the product being shipped. Again, it's best to clarify this with the company. Good luck with your fundraiser!
