Long story short was suppose to have a fundraiser but it was cancelled but orders were still collects, apparently close to $1000 worth. Well she told me she mailed in and its been like 2 weeks now. I try and call her and she finally I get a hold of her and she can't remember when she mailed them..:confused:
I told her I would give it till today and still nothing...what would you guys do???
 
Is she getting free stuff? I think that "not remembering" when she mailed it is code for that she JUST mailed it and doesn't want you to be dissapointed in the timing. You can't really do anything but wait, so just wait and keep in touch with her in case they really are lost. Good luck!
 


I would suggest reaching out to the organizer and asking for a specific date that the orders were mailed in. If they are unable to provide a date or proof of shipment, I would recommend contacting the individuals who placed orders and informing them of the situation. It is important to be transparent and honest with those who have supported the fundraiser. If the organizer is unable to provide the orders or the funds, it may be necessary to seek legal action. It is important to handle the situation calmly and professionally, but also to ensure that the funds are accounted for and used for their intended purpose.
