We will ship your order directly from our own warehouse using a refrigerated truck to a pre-arranged location, time and date. It is crucial that your supporters pick up their orders within the pick up window (recommended 30 minutes) as our products are sold frozen.

A big part of coordinating your fundraiser is ‘When will we get our delivery?”. That is completely up to you and your group-you choose the date and time! We do not pre-book your delivery date until you place your order – however, we do ask for a minimum of a 14 calendar day lead time on all new orders being placed. This allows you to coordinate what works best for you and shift dates if needed.

You can submit your order online, scan and email it to us, drop it off to our office at 605 Kumpf Drive in Waterloo or fax it to 519-725-3307. If you wish to submit your Master Order Sheet online, please contact us for instructions.

We will confirm your order details within 1 business day upon receipt. If you have not received a confirmation, please call or email us to confirm your order at: 1-800-663-5694 ext. 235 or local at 519-725-4110 ext. 235 or email us at easyfundraising@jdsweid.com.
