- How do we get our orders? How does delivery happen?TeamFund will deliver your entire order to your pre-determined location and agreed-upon date and time.
The driver will meet you on-site with the same packing slip as you have. The driver will arrive about one hour before your seller pick-up time. They will unload your products, during that time, you and your volunteers will inventory the products and assemble the orders per the seller summaries.
You are responsible for providing volunteers and a location that can be safely accessed by the driver. They WILL NOT enter buildings, if you want to do your seller pick up inside, your volunteers can move the products.
We STRONGLY suggest to do your pick up outside for safety, ease and less work on your part.
Read the step-by-step process for distribution and seller pick-up day here.
- What type of location can you deliver to?
Most of our deliveries out of town are made with refrigerated semi-trucks, which can be challenging to maneuver in residential areas. They are also much heavier than other trucks, so there are limitations.
Choose a location with a large parking lot that gives our driver and truck room to turn around in: such as a commercial address, schools, arenas, churches, or business locations.
Local bylaws and weight restrictions in many residential areas prohibit us from entering.
- Products
- Can products change from time to time?Yes, our products can change over time.
We like to keep our products list fresh and curate new and in-demand products regularly.
We keep the bestsellers and tend to remove products that aren’t popular so that you can raise more with the most delicious options!
- Can prices fluctuate from fundraiser to fundraiser?Yes, prices may fluctuate from fundraiser to fundraiser. We try our hardest to keep stable pricing, but groceries go up and down, and we have to keep up.
For the most part, we are able to keep our prices stable because we source right from the supplier to skip the “middle-man.”
In saying that, once a campaign begins, prices will not change during your fundraiser.
- Payments and Fees
- How much does TeamFund cost? Are there any upfront costs or fees?TeamFund is free! There are no upfront costs or inventory to carry. You keep your profits or commissions earned on every sale.
We waive delivery fees based on locations and number of boxes sold.
Based on your delivery zone, there is a $2-$3 processing fee per order.
Some delivery areas over 150KM + from one of our distribution centers (Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg) will have a fuel surcharge per box ranging from $.25 to $.55 to help with rising delivery fee costs (New from June 2024).
- Are there any minimum of items sold or delivery fees on a fundraiser?Updated: June 2024: Delivery fees and minimums are based on delivery location ZONES.
We ship from three distribution centers: Calgary, Edmonton, and Winnipeg. The further away your location from the distribution center, the higher the minimum to waive the delivery fee.
