Regardless of the fundraiser you choose, we suggest you run your campaign at least 2 weeks and no more than 4 weeks. Maintaining your group's excitement results in a more successful fundraiser.
- How do we receive our products?
We will either ship FedEx, Freight, or our own delivery truck will deliver. If your close to our facility, we can also arrange for you to pick up.
- Do your products require refrigeration?
No!! We are very happy to announce that the fund-raising sponsors do not have to worry about refrigeration or freezer space during the distribution of our fund-raiser. On our packaging, we say best if kept refrigerated or in the freezer because it extends the shelf life of the product, not because it will ruin if it is not.
- What do we pay for shipping?
Absolutely nothing!!! Free shipping is included during the campaign as well as for the two week grace period after you submit your order for late orders. If by chance, you have an order after that grace period is over, then you may be subject to a shipping fee but only after you have been given ample time to ensure this does not have to happen.
- So what's the catch, what fees are you hiding from me?
With South Texas Milling Fund-raiser, there are no hidden fees and no gimmicks. What you see is what you get. We are just honest people helping organizations reach their fund-raising needs. We are not out to make money off of your hard work. The hope is that we help your organization meet its fundraising goals and in return, your buyers enjoy our products and return as retail customers. That is how it works. It is truly that simple.
- How long does it take for our fund-raiser to ship?
Once we receive your totals, we set up a date for delivery. We allow a 4-6 week turn around based your requested date.
- I have a question about my order. What number should I call?
Please feel free to call us at 361/570-3867 or you can email at sales@stxmilling.com. You can also call us toll free at 866-570-4005.
- Do you have the fund-raiser available for friends and family online?
Currently, we are working on a program for this very issue. We do have a brochure available online for them to view. However, we do not offer online fund-raising sales at this time. I am sure if you explain to your out of town friends and family, they will be more than happy to view the virtual brochure and perhaps make arrangements for ordering and shipping through the parent of the seller.
- Do I have to buy the items per case?
No, you order just the number of items you need.
- Do you have gluten free products?
Yes, of our 84 fund-raising items we offer over 60 gluten free items but all of our items are processed in a facility that handles wheat, dairy, and soy.
- Do you use non-GMO corn?
In our quest to purchase non-GMO corn varieties, studies have shown that due to cross pollination it is nearly impossible to guarantee that the grain will be GMO free. Please read the following articles that further prove the inability for us or most anyone else to guarantee 100% GMO free grain.
