Frequently Asked Questions

How long will the store remain open?

Our online stores typically remain open for approximately two weeks. This timeframe allows members of your organization to place their orders within a time that can typically hit at least one if not two pay periods for those purchasing.

When do we get our items?

After the online store closes, we take approximately two weeks to process the orders. Our dedicated team meticulously reviews each order, ensuring accuracy and quality control. This processing time allows us to sort, package, and organize all items before delivery. The primary contact will then get the orders from us.

How are the orders delivered?

We offer two delivery options to accommodate the preferences of homeschool groups and individual customers. For individual orders, customers will have the option to pay for their own shipping during the checkout process. Alternatively, for bulk orders shipped to a designated homeschool group leader, the group's shipping costs will be deducted from the overall fundraising total. This allows us to streamline the delivery process while minimizing expenses for the group. We work with trusted shipping providers to ensure reliable and timely delivery of all orders. Clear communication regarding any shipping costs and their impact on the group's fundraising proceeds will be provided throughout the process.

When will we get fundraising proceeds if we use it as a fundraiser?

We are able to Venmo or Paypal fundraising proceeds a few weeks after the items are delivered.

How much do we receive for fundraising and how is it calculated?

We offer a straightforward and rewarding fundraising structure for homeschool groups. Once the order reaches a minimum of 25 shirts sold, you will receive $4 per shirt ordered for all shirts ordered, resulting in a substantial fundraising contribution. For example, if you sell 25 shirts, your fundraising total will be $100 ($4 per shirt). Please note that if you sell less than 25 shirts, no fundraising amount will be rewarded for those specific shirt orders. Additionally, while stickers and cups do not have the same fundraising attached, they will still contribute to the overall fundraising total. So, by including these items in your store, you can further boost your fundraising proceeds.

What payment methods are accepted?

We accept various payment methods, including credit/debit cards and online payment platforms. Our secure online payment system ensures that your payment information is protected. Simply follow the provided instructions during the checkout process to complete your payment.

Can we customize the apparel or other items?

Absolutely! Customization options are limited to adding the name of your homeschool community to the pre-designed community shirts. These community shirts are thoughtfully created to align with the current cycle of your homeschool group, fostering a sense of unity and identity. While customization beyond adding the community name may not be available, we ensure that the designs and styles are carefully curated to offer appealing options that resonate with your homeschooling community.

What if I have questions or need assistance?

We have a dedicated support team ready to assist you. If you have any questions, concerns, or need assistance throughout the ordering process, simply reach out to our friendly and knowledgeable customer support team. We're here to ensure your experience is smooth and satisfactory.

Can I pay with cash or place an order outside of the website?

To ensure a streamlined and efficient ordering process, we only accept payments made through our secure online payment system. We do not accept cash payments or orders placed outside of our website. This helps us maintain accurate records, track inventory, and provide a seamless experience for all customers. Rest assured that our online payment system is safe, reliable, and convenient for completing your order.

What if I miss the deadline to place an order?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances may sometimes cause missed deadlines. If you have missed the order deadline, we encourage you to reach out to us directly. While we cannot guarantee it, depending on the demand and circumstances, we may consider opening another round of the store for a limited time to accommodate missed orders. This will provide an opportunity for you to place your order and ensure you don't miss out on our products and services. Please note that the availability of another round will depend on various factors, and we highly recommend placing your order within the initial timeframe to secure your desired items.
