FAQs

What is the fundraising group's profit?

Fundraising groups retain $6.00 per box sold for all general sales and for Hello Spring!, Cookout & Thanksgiving.

Profit for the Annual Holiday Fruit Sale varies by product. A detailed formula is available upon request.

What is the turnaround time?

Because we sell perishable items, the turnaround time is quick. General fundraisers, Hello Spring! & Cookout generally have a 10-day selling period. Thanksgiving & Holiday have a one-month selling period.

How do customers place orders?

We offer three avenues of ordering: physical order form, phone ordering and online ordering.

Is there a minimum order requirement?

There is a 50-box minimum for a dedicated delivery on your chosen date. Should you choose a date on a pre-existing delivery route in your service area, the minimum can be waived.

What if we do not meet the minimum?

If you schedule a dedicated delivery and are unable to meet the minimum, you may pick up your order or change your order to a pre-existing delivery route.

Do you pre-pack?

Yes, all boxes come fully pre-packaged and ready for distribution.

Who distributes the boxes to the customer?

The fundraising group is responsible for distributing the boxes to customers. Our driver will deliver to the location of your choosing, unload, and leave.

How do we know who ordered?

You will provide your order forms to our team. We then consolidate all order forms, online & phone orders into a master order list in Excel format. There is no behind-the-scenes paperwork on your end. We do it for you!

How is payment made for online and phone sales?

We accept all major credit and debit cards for phone orders. Our online platform also accepts all major credit and debit cards in addition to ShopPay and ApplePay.

How do we receive online profits?

Our team will credit your group for all phone and online orders received. Credits will be noted on your final invoice.

When do our sellers collect payments and what payment methods are available?

We always recommend that fundraising groups collect their payments at the time of ordering. The group's fundraising coordinator determines the acceptable payment methods. If checks are accepted, they should be made payable to the fundraising group, not Cusumano & Sons.

Can your fundraising program be customized to our needs?

Our programs are highly customizable. Please contact alaina@cusumanoandsons.com to discuss how best to make one of our sales work for you.

Can we be the only group selling in our town?

Yes! We allow only one group per town for all our special events. General fundraisers are spaced appropriately to prevent sales overlap.

Can we return boxes?

No. Perishable food products are not applicable for return. If you encounter any issues with your product, please let us know immediately, and we will do our best to resolve the issue.

What do we do if someone does not pick up their produce box?

Groups are supplied with contact information for all customers who purchased by phone or online. We also send pick-up reminders on the day of the distribution.

Can we participate in more than one event a year?

Yes! Groups are welcome to schedule as often as they like; however, we do not recommend participating more than once a quarter.
