Maximizing Fundraiser Profits: Troubleshooting Order Shipping Issues

[nickywsn]

I am trying to close a fundraiser tonight and I am stumped. Here is the problem....I'm trying to enter the host special on the chairperson's order and it's charging her $4 shipping. Then I told it to have it shipped to me and now the shipping charge is over $6!!! What do I do? Is this how it's supposed to be? I just assumed that the chairperson got free shipping. I have a feeling that I don't have something entered quite right for this to be happening.

The chairperson does not get free shipping. She/he only gets to order the host special.

Ok, so if I want the order shipped to me what do I need to do?

You would need to change the main show address to yours to have the whole thing sent to you, or you need to pay the higher direct shipping charge for it to go somewhere besides where the show is going.

But if I do this then where will their check be mailed to? Me?

The check should go wherever the show is being sent to. Are you using PP or P3? Just make sure that the organization name is first and you are listed in address (shipped to section) as c/o "your name".

Will the check be made out to them? In the address section this is how I have it listed:

Organization
c/o Me
my address
my address

Hmmm- I have never done a fundraiser that wasn't HWC, so I have never had to do checks... why do you want the host special shipped to you seperately from the show? Can you ship it to the chairperson's home address?

This is a fundraiser for the Preschool where my kids once attended. The deal I struck with the director was that I'd do all the work....and the orders would be shipped to me so I could sort them for her and all she'd have to do is send them home with the students.

 

[Jules711]

The check will be made out to the organization so you should be fine. It doesn't really matter who it is sent to. I'm sure that you are fine.

 

[gilliandanielle]

I would just send the whole thing to you and bring the check to them as soon as you get it...
