Q: Do I have to be in a group to do a fundraiser or can I sell alone?

A: Anyone can sell whether in a group or as an individual.

Q: How long should I sell?

A: Most fundraisers run for a period of two to three weeks at the most. Longer selling periods are discouraged as this will delay the shipping time to your customer.

Q: Should we collect money from our customer up front or wait to collect when we deliver the product?

A: When to collect money from your customers is a choice that we suggest you make prior to starting the fundraiser. We recommend never turning down a paying customer as this will allow you to collect any monies needed to pay your invoice with CandleArt in a timely manner.

Q: Can I pre-purchase samples to use for selling?

A: Yes. This is a great way to get the actual product in your customer’s hands for evaluating their purchase. Once the sale is completed, simply use your pre-purchased candle samples for filling a portion of your order. Pre-sale purchases will be invoiced and payable along with your final order.

Q: Can I apply for credit terms with your company?

A: Yes. Although most new fundraising customers are asked to pay prior to product shipment, CandleArt does have a credit application for those requesting credit. We accept credit cards, debit card or checks. Personal checks will require a waiting period for clearance from issuing bank.

Q: Will the product come to us sorted per individual participant or shipped in bulk for sorting here?

A: This is your choice. CandleArt can ship in bulk or pre-sort for each participant. (See profit schedule.) For the best profit percentages for your group, CandleArt recommends that you receive the product in bulk and sort at your facility.

Q: Will the product arrive in boxes for safe distribution to my customer?

A: Again this is your choice. (See profit schedule.) CandleArt can box each item to ensure safe distribution or ship in bulk to be safely packaged at your location.

Q: What about add on orders or mistakes made on an order form? How is this handled?

A: Add on orders are welcomed and depending on the date of the order, will be sent with the original order when shipped. It is always wise to assume that mistakes will be made either during the customer ordering, group totaling, order placement or order fulfillment. CandleArt will make a concentrated effort to ship the product exactly as ordered. It is then advised that before your group begins sorting, that an initial count be made and compared with the packing list included with the shipment. If any discrepancies are noted during this process, please contact CandleArt before sorting for corrections. Once the product is sorted, all extras become the property of the fundraising individual or group and any shortages will need to be reordered from CandleArt and billed at your fundraising price level earned. It is suggested that any extras be sold to your customers at your cost to re-coup the cost of any additional items required to fulfill your order.
