Pre pay here and same thing deposit check right away. For the few that bounce the treasurer contacts them and they have always given us the money plus the fee.

My Name is Tonya Fussell and I am a Territory Manager for The Sock Fundraising Company. Our company offers socks. $15/unit and a profit of 40&#37;, so your profit is $6/unit. There is a quick return on the product. No more than a week. Your organization would also earn 20% for a year for all online orders. I would like to send you some information in the mail, and also give you our e-mail address. thesockfundraisingcompany.com. I hope that you find this information helpful, and I hope to speak to you in the near

Yes, prepay! If someone's check doesn't clear youll know before their order gets in so you can get their money or sell their things to someone else.

We pretty much do the same as above. A prepay and get those checks in your account asap, that way any check that bounces you can hold that merchandise. It may be intensive to do but our fundraiser chair people will actually write each check down, whose order it was with so they can track where it came from. We dont get alot of bounced checks and we are usually able to collect on them after a phone call and letter. We also charge a $25.00 fee which most people have no problem with.

I agree with the previous poster...we try to deposit all the checks before the merchandise comes and people with checks that do not clear and they do not rectify it do not get their merchandise.

When the check does not clear our treasurer sends the person a letter to their home via the mail informing them of the situation and she does ask them for the bounced check fee. She also gives them her contact information so they can contact her.

If after a week of their receipt of the letter she gets no response at all from them she sends another letter. If they do not respond to the second letter our principal calls the person on the phone. Now I know all principals will not be willing to do this, but ours does and that phone call from him always gets the money to turn up quick.

We always do a pre-pay... as the treasurer, I try to deposit checks before the product comes. Luckly, I don't get alot of bounced checks and I have only been unable to collect on a few.
