How much merchandise do we receive?

You will receive over 120 different items, and of course a quantity of each of those. The total shipment is based on what we project your sales will be. That projection is based on the size of your school, your past experience, if any, and the demographics of your school. We also add a certain percentage to make sure your children at the end of the program have a wide selection of gifts to choose from.

Can we select our gift line?

In the spring you may "special order" up to 20% of your gift line. We will provide you with a catalog and a dollar amount which you may use as you wish. Those orders must be submitted no later than June 15th.

Can we get a cash register for our program?

Yes, a limited number of cash registers are available for free use for programs signing up in the Spring. Most schools find cash registers overrated. Tallying a budget envelope or a tally slip (provided free on request) with a calculator is faster and simpler than a cash register.

What happens if we run out?

If you run out during your program you may place reorders by phone on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Orders received by 1:30PM Eastern Standard Time will be shipped on the day which they are received. Schools in our direct delivery area will receive orders on the same day as the order or by the morning of the following day. Schools outside of our direct delivery area will be shipped via FED-EX or UPS next day delivery. Every school is allowed one freight free reorder.

Do the gifts have prices on them?

The gifts are price coded. This allows you to charge whatever you want on items. If you want to use the codes you may. Price codes reflect a school profit of from 5% to 25%.

Can we price mark the merchandise?

Actually, no. Marked items are not returnable for credit.

Most schools jot down the gift selling price onto the students budget envelope as they are given the gift. The prices may be also be written onto the back of the bag which the gift(s) are placed in. The cashier then simply totals those numbers and collects payment. Other schools collect the payment at the table.

Are there any risks on the program?
