Group Order Information
Important Updates:
Changes to Fedco's bulk pricing:
At the $1,200 threshold, orders from Seeds, Bulbs and Potatoes receive a
bulk discount of 10%. Orders from Organic Growers Supply with subtotals
$1,200 and above receive
bulk pricing.
As of September 2022,
Fedco Trees is no longer accepting group orders.
If you are placing a paper order, please read these
instructions.
Group ordering is only available to U.S. customers.
Instructions for Group Members
- First get
the group order number, available from your group coordinator.
There will
be a separate number for each division (Seeds; Potatoes,
Onions and Exotics; Organic Growers Supply; and Bulbs), if your
coordinator has chosen to coordinate an order from more than one
division.
- Go to the division in which you are building an order, using the links
in the page header. Log in using your own email
address.
- When you review your order prior to checking out, click the “Part
of a Group” checkbox. Then go to “Checkout” and type
in the group order number where indicated.
If you are prompted to
enter a credit card number, stop. Back up. You did not choose
“Part of a Group”.
- You will receive a confirmation email at the address you used to log in.
Until your coordinator finalizes the order, however, Fedco cannot
confirm receipt of your order.
Instructions for Group Coordinators
If you are already familiar with these instructions (seriously, everything
will work better if you read the directions), you can skip ahead:
- Go to the group coordinator home page by clicking on the
link at the bottom of this page (or to the right).
- Enter your email address then click the “Log In”
button. We will use this address to send you confirmations
of your members’ orders, and you will use it to log back in
to monitor your group’s activity and to submit your
group order.
- The first time you log in, you will be asked to enter
your name, your group name, the ZIP Code to which orders would
be shipped (even if you plan to pick up), and the phone number
where we can reach you. Then click on the “Validate
Info & Create Account” button. Choose the “Start
Order” button for each division of interest, which will
assign a number for your group order. The “Start Order”
button is greyed out for divisions not currently accepting
orders.
- Tell your group members the group name and group order
number(s), as they will need that information to place their
orders online. They should choose “Part of a Group” during
checkout, and will need to enter the group order number to add their
order to your group order.
They will get an email confirmation of their order and you
will also get a copy of the email.
- Once you have created a group account, you can log in
on the group coordinator home page to
check on your active group orders and current totals, delete individual
orders if needed, complete
and submit group orders, and start group orders for other
divisions.
- Remember that to place your own order as part of the group, you need to
follow the instructions for group members, and order exactly as any
other group member would.
- To complete and submit a group order, log in to the
group
coordinator page and click the “Check Out & Submit
Order” button
for the appropriate division. Review the individual orders
in your group order. When you have determined that all the
members of your group who are going to order have placed orders,
choose your shipping method and click “Checkout”
to begin to complete the group ordering process and submit
the group order to Fedco. Once you submit your group order,
the individual ordering process for that order is closed.
You may start a new group order (which will have a new order
number) if members of your group still want to place orders
with the group.
-
Tax information: Your group order will be taxed
according to the taxable status of the group coordinator and the
delivery address for the order. Members of the group who do not qualify
for tax exemptions are responsible for paying use tax on their purchases
to the state (when filing their tax returns).
Please be aware that each piece of an online group order
must be placed online. If you have members who cannot place
their orders online, consider placing their orders yourself,
or submitting a separate group order on paper.
