How much is freight?2022-06-30T01:06:43+12:00

Please request our freight costs and we will send you the estimated charges.

What is the best pick up / delivery date?2022-06-30T01:06:54+12:00

The pick up / delivery date should be the same as your distribution date to your customers. When deciding on a distribution date, it is best to pick a relevant date people will remember. E.g. training night, game day, meetings, end of term etc.

How long should we fundraise for?2022-06-30T01:07:16+12:00

We recommend a minimum of 2 weeks and a maximum of 4-5 weeks. If it is too short, you minimise your sales potential and if it is too long, people can forget the pick up date.

Can we have more than 5 flavour options?2022-06-30T01:07:41+12:00

Yes – we recommend 5 for logistical reasons from the participants end, you are entitled to more.
