question time

[Guest guest]

OK, guys. I need some input here. I did the American Heart Run & Walk

this year for my husband's cousin's team. If none of you have ever done

it, it's a walk or run done in teams and you get donations from people

to raise money for the Heart Association.

Anyway, the team leader emailed me yesterday with a proposition. She

wanted to know if it was possible for me to do heart shaped soaps as a

fundraiser for the team. She wants me to be able to make a profit but

also the team to make money from the sales for next year's Run & Walk.

They can raise money throughout the year for the next year's event.

Have any of you ever done anything like this and are there any legal

reasons why I COULDN'T do this? What are your opinions as to the best

way to handle this? Would it be better to price the bars the way I

normally do and offer them a % of the sales (like 25%) or some other

way? Another question, whatever funds the team ends up with, can I

claim it as " donations " for the business at year-end for taxes?

Any opinions or help here would be greatly appreciated.

I would certainly let the Chemistry Store know about the weight

discrepancy. I've ordered from them numerous times & have always been

happy with their products & service. I've never noticed an issue with

the weight being wrong though.

Other than that, I'm not sure what you can do. Let us know what you

find out though. Thanks!

Some of the shopping carts will estimate the shipping by the number of

items, rather than actual weight. I would call them and complain and see what

happens, although the time to do that is before you finalize your order,

really.

Hopefully, they will refund you something.

Is there a way for me to check thru UPS to find out if I'm being ripped

your opinions first.

Hi Colleen

I just emailed them and questioned it. We'll see what happens.

The reason I purchased from them was due to a problem I had with 4 oz

bottles at SKS in New York. I had purchased the 4 oz bottles from them

in the Fall & they include the sprayers with their bottles - you don't

have to order sprayers separately. BUT the sprayers are 1/4 " from the

bottom of the bottles!! I know my customers would be complaining (as I

would be as a customer) that they can't get a lot of the product thru

the sprayer near the end. I complained to SKS at the time (over the

phone) and the guy sent me replacement sprayers (free of chg.) that were

longer but I would have to trim. I have no problem with trimming them

whatsoever. Well, I was running out of bottles right before Christmas

and needed some A.S.A.P. so I reordered from them again. SAME PROBLEM.

I called again and they said that's how they come from the manufacturer

and if I wanted longer ones I would have to order them separately on top

of the price of the bottles that come with the short sprayers. When I

looked at the website the LEAST qty. I could order was 144 sprayers!!

Needless to say I won't be ordering from SKS anymore. So I had to hunt

elsewhere. The Chemistry Store had good prices and you order sprayers

separately and they told the length of them on the site. So I ordered

bottles & sprayers plus extra sprayers to replace the short ones on the

SKS bottles. But now with the price of the shipping plus they charge

$3.50 handling fee on every order I don't think I'm ahead of the game

here. I just can't win!!!
