Son was involved in a recent fundraiser. Items were promised for delivery last week. This would ensure items would be available for Thanksgiving. Were they delivered on time? No! My husband and I are so embarrassed. Son was told not to go door to door, so the reality was DH and I did the fundraising for him (this is how most students sold items). We sold these items to coworkers and friends. My DH was already asked by one customer when he would receive his order (a polite reminder on his part). We were told that the company is late in delivering this year. No kidding! I told my son that this will be the last public school fundraiser that he will participate in. There was just no appreciation or regard for those who participated. I am saddened. I cannot imagine that a company can’t deliver the items that they peddle on time! Obviously, they don’t want to stay in business very long.
