Sally Foster Gift Wrap Gift Cards

I agree. I have always liked the Sally Foster gift wrap so I bought a "gift card" from a neighbor. What a rip off!!! My $10.00 gift wrap end up costing me $20.00 with the shipping, tax and unavailability of an item I could purchase with my left over money. Then, to top it off, Sally Foster makes it so difficult to donate your left over balance to the student or school that you end up getting frustrated and give it back to them. Be aware that they don't add the tax until you have already put in you method of payment! They should be ashamed of this scam!

As the Chair for our music programs fall fundraiser I just really feel the need to warn you all.
We have worked with Sally Foster for several years now and
many of them were very profitable for both us and SF that is until this year.

The gift card program is a BUST, it is difficult to explain, expensive for customers who now have to pay for shipping as well - The products are a BUST, they say they have over 200 items for sale but really what they have done is they show a picture of 1 item in 10 different colors and advertise them individually - The company accountability is BUST, they said they were going to update our online seller list so we could see who is selling - they did not - they had sellers who graduated years ago on this years list which is nonsensical, they say they will call, they don't, they say they will deliver prize incentives, they don't. - It has been a nightmare for our school.

I suggest any school considering doing a gift wrap fundraiser find a different company,
it is as if SF is trying to fail so they can close down this side of their business - unfortunately for
our school they have succeeded. We depend on this fundraiser to fund our music specialists and to purchase instruments for our program. This has been a huge disappointment and we are scrambling now to see what we can do to raise money another way.
