Trangel77: I didn't mean to upset or offend you in anyway. This is not something I requested. I do follow all rules and regulations that are posted within the donation request forms. With that being said if Pier 39 did not want to send them to people out of state they wouldn't and it would be posted on their site. I went to it and looked just to make sure that it was given to me wrongly. I simply asked if there was someone out there that would like to trade for something they might not get much for (like a $ 20.00 GC that could be used as a giveaway at our Fireman's Dinner) and I would give them this in return. I would rather someone use it then it to go to waste.
Peg: Thank You for your support. I was unaware I would stir the pot by asking such a question. It's good to know that I am not the only one that runs into getting items that will not be used. Thank you again!
We receive MANY out of area donations. Our buyers are thrilled to bid on new and exciting offers and who doesn't love a trip out of town? That said, there are some cases where an auction item is left unsold. Isn't it better to share that item than to throw it away? And as far as regulations go...I believe it is the donor deciding who gets what, not you. A little goodwill and positive attitude goes a long way.
I was wondering do you send Thank you letters out when a company tells you they are going to send you a donation, when you receive the donation or after the event?
I'm having difficulty getting into Disney's donation system due to our tax ID#. Our preschool is affliated with a Methodist church which has a group tax exemption code. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there a way to resolve this issue?
