Can families shop the whole store?

Yes.
In fact, this accelerates the earning potential!
How does our community shop your store through our fundraiser?
We supply you with a fundraising link, and promotional post with a QR code.
You share these with your community, they pick what they like, and we post to them!
How does the "Free Delivery to School" offer work?
Your organisation can arrange a "free delivery to school" date with us, and we'll ship your collated orders for free (the shipping cost is covered by your fundraising earnings).
Your usual fundraising link will show a "free delivery" activation button - this just needs to be clicked/added to cart.
We collate all of the orders and deliver them to you at the pre-arranged time. You simply hand out the orders!
This delivery option is perfect when it's timed to match up with all your big events, like Sports Day, Photo Day, Kindy Orientation, and Back to School in January/February.
How much is shipping?
Shipping prices are visible on our website, and are applied automatically at the checkout.
We use Australia Post to ship our orders.
Free Pick-Up from our Shoalwater, WA site is available.
We can also activate the "Free Delivery to School" offer for you, from time-to-time.
For further information, see our Shipping Policy.
I can't see our uniform colours online. Can you do them?
Of course!
We're in-stock in a huge number of colours and combinations.
If we aren't currently in-stock in your specific shade/s, we can manufacture these with orders.
If you need help with colour-matching, simply send us a picture of your uniform or logo, and we'll send back the best ribbon fit!
Our school Uniform Policy is very strict, and some of the styles may not suit us. Can we limit the products made available?
We're very mindful of school uniform policies, and we can certainly be sure to add a note stipulating which styles are approved for your school.
Of course, the most obvious and visible option for reinforcing your dress code is to stock the selected styles in your Uniform Shop.
Rest assured that we will always have your product range set up so that fundraising earnings can be earnt store-wide - as many shoppers purchase for outside of school hours and extracurricular activities too.
We're all volunteers. How much effort will we need to put in?
Besides emailing us to get you set up, and sharing the promotional post and fundraising link that we provide you, it's pretty straight forward!
