WILDCAT RIVER COOPERATIVE - GUIDELINES

WHAT IS A PRE-ORDER COOPERATIVE? A pre-order co-op is a group of people who pool their time, resources and buying power to purchase high quality foods at affordable prices.

1) MEMBERSHIP FEE: There is no fee to join or place an order through us.

2) ORDERS: All orders must be received by us by the due date which is the Sunday before the pick-up day. Orders will be processed and sent to United Natural Foods first thing the next morning, therefore we cannot accept late orders.

3) PAYMENT: Payment in the form of a check or cash is accepted on the day of delivery.

4) DELIVERY DATES: Deliveries are usually every 4 weeks on a Friday.

5) PICK-UP: Every member placing an order should be present for the delivery or have a representative there if you can not attend. The pick-up time is usually between Noon and 5 pm at the coordinator's home. The order items are distributed according to member ID letters. Members can find their invoice sheets by their ID letters.

6) ACCOUNT RECONCILIATION: Member invoices will be electronically processed and then printed out on the day of delivery. Check the bottom of your invoice sheet to see your balance due.

7) SPLITTING ORDERS: If members are interested in splitting orders, one member should include the item on their order and pay for it. The members would then work out money and product splits among themselves.

8) MEMBERS RESPONSIBILITIES:

Make sure your order is in on-time and you've double-checked your figures and product #'s.
Show up on delivery day for the pick-up or have someone else there in your place.
Be sure to check that you've received all the items on your invoice and that the labels are correct.

We hope that we can keep this simple, so all of us will enjoy the benefits of cooperative sharing. If you think we can streamline the process more, contact us with any suggestions you might have.
