DIY Packing: frequently asked questions
We suggest you find one helper for every 50 bags you have to pack. This will mean the job can be completed in about an hour. Of course, every order & helper is different – so times will vary.
Making sure each student (& family) gets what they ordered into accurate bags, ready to hand out is definitely a task. But it’s also something that if you can get a few helpers to each do some classrooms – it will be a lot faster and will mean you have more fundraising profit left over. If you cannot get any helpers and expect a good sized order, we’d recommend you request we pack the order for you. But if you can get some help, it is much more manageable. It’s also something that a few senior students can help with, under supervision.
A lot of organisers enjoy the packing process so they can check everything off themselves, and get to see all of the amazing art.
It’s included as part of the Online service cost, there is no additional fee on top of that.
We can pack your order for you, using the DIY Packing Kit.
We will charge $0.75 extra per product for this service and your order will be delayed by up to 2 weeks. This is because one the order completes production, it then needs to go into our Packing queue which can get quite large! If the queue is small, then we may be able to get the order dispatched within a few days, but we would recommend that if you want your order out faster, select the DIY Packing option.
You can make your selection when you are setting up your Order Pricing. So:
- Create your Order in our website
- In the Order Settings, when you get to the Pricing section, click the Edit button and you have the ability to select your Packing option here.
- At the bottom of the Order Settings, you can save these selections as your default settings.
Please note, you can change your selection from one order to the next e.g. one setting for your Main order and one for your Repeat Order, but you cannot change your selection once an order has opened.
