Tupperware Fundraising FAQ's
Here are answers to the most common questions we receive about our fundraising program. If you don't find your answer here, please email us or call the toll-free number found on our home page.

  1. How soon can we start our fundraiser?
    Your fundraising can begin shortly after you order your fundraising packets. Once you register your fundraiser with us and let us know how many participant packets you need, we will prepare your shipment and ship your packets as quickly as 2 business days.

  2. When can we expect to receive our fundraising kit?
    Your fundraising kit will arrive several days before your fundraiser is scheduled to begin. We will ship your kit via FedEx to arrive about a week prior to your fundraiser start date.

  3. Are we required to make a deposit on the catalogs?
    No, we do not require a fundraising deposit on materials for schools.

  4. Are there any hidden costs?
    There are no "hidden" costs. We do have penalties which apply for canceling your fundraiser, working with a local consultant, or assigning some or all of your sales to a Tupperware sales force member after we have already shipped your materials. See the fundraising contract for specific details about these fees.

  5. Do you have products we can use for display?
    We will be happy to provide a sampling of products from our fundraising line for display during your fundrainsing event. When your organization sells $5,000 or more in Tupperware, the display products are yours to keep. Otherwise, the product display must be returned to us at the close of your fundraising event.

    There is a $100 deposit on our displays which will be refunded to you when the display is returned to us in reusable condition (no cracked or broken pieces, etc.). Please let your fundraising manager know you'd like to order a display and she will make sure one is shipped with your fundraising kit. Or complete the third page of our online registration form where you can request the display.

    If you prefer, you can purchase products for display at wholesale cost. Speak with your fundraising manager for assistance.

  6. Can I register by mail or phone instead of online?
    Because of the amount of information we need from your school, we do not take registrations by phone. Please
    request a fundraising contract from us by email which you can complete and fax or mail back to us. (See fax number at question no.7 and mailing address at question no.13.)

  7. Where do I fax my contract?
    Please fax your contract to 1-407-386-6284.

  8. How long should our fundraiser last?
    We recommend about 18 days -- including 3 full weekends -- in order to maximize your profit earnings as well as ensure continued motivation by your students. Longer than 18 days usually does not benefit the school as your students will lose interest in fundraising. Less than the recommended time frame is not ample time to collect orders.

  9. Do we have to collect sales tax on our orders?
    Most schools are tax exempt and, therefore, are not required to collect sales tax on fundraising orders. If you are tax exempt, please fax a copy of your tax exemption certificate to us before the close of your fundraising event. (see fax number at question no. 7)

  10. Is there a minimum amount for fundraising orders or number of participants allowed?
    No, we do not have a minimum order amount, minimum number of participants, or a minimum number of catalogs.

  11. Can we do a Tupperware fundraiser if we are outside of the USA?
    We do offer fundraising to other countries outside of the USA as well as US territories and FPO's. Please
    email us to see if we serve your region.

  12. Who do we call with questions during our fundraiser?
    Please contact the fundraising manager assigned to your account for answers to any questions you may have. If you do not have her number, please call 1-800-903-0933 for assistance.

  13. Where do we send orders?
    Send orders and payment to:
    Tupperware
    Fundraiser Order Processing
    P.O. Box 30923
    Cleveland, Ohio 44130

  14. How long does it take for our products to arrive?
    Please allow 3-4 weeks for your products to arrive once you have submitted your orders. Delivery is normally much sooner.

  15. How will the orders be shipped?
    Orders are shipped via FedEx Ground already presorted by classroom or grade for an easier distribution process. Products are easily identified as each item is labeled, and same items are boxed together. You will also receive plastic bags in 2 sizes for packing. Your fundraising manager will recommend the best way to submit your orders to ensure an efficient distribution process for your school.

  16. Can orders ship directly to the customer?
    We offer our Home Delivery Option which will allow you to ship your orders directly to your sellers' homes. There is a shipping fee of $1 added to each customer order with a minimum charge of $6 per shipping destination. Students who sell $400 or more receive FREE home delivery! Speak with your fundraising manager for more details or
    email us to discuss this option.

  17. When will we receive our check?
    Our fundraising program offers payout of proceeds upfront. This means you collect your profit at the close of your fundraising event and send us the balance with your orders.

  18. How do we calculate our profit?
    To calculate your profit, tally your product cost before tax has been added. Multiply that amount by .4, or 40%. This is your profit. Mail us a check for the balance along with your orders.

  19. How do we pay for our orders?
    You can pay with an official bank check or a postal money order. You may also choose to pay with a school check but this may delay your order processing by about a week. We may be able to contact your school's banking institution to check on availability of funds in order to expedite shipping on your orders when you pay with a school check. This information is released at the discretion of your banking institution.

  20. Can I use a local consultant for our fundraiser?
    Yes, however, a local consultant's fundraising experience may be limited. If you use a local consultant, you must request your fundraising packets from him/her directly. All fundraising support will come from the local consultant as well.

    Please note if your packets have already shipped from our fundraising center, you may incur a penalty should you choose to involve a local consultant with your fundraising event. Check your fundraising agreement for the local consultant disclaimer.

  21. Do you offer incentives?
    We do offer incentives for your students. When your school sells $5000 or more in Tupperware, we will award a top seller prize to the top 3 sellers in your school and also to the top seller in each grade. Prizes awarded depend on availability at the time of your fundraising event. Check with your fundraising manager for details.

  22. Who is the Tupperware Fundraising Group?
