How Tupperware Fundraisers Work
Organizations who hold Tupperware fundraisers will receive 40% of suggested retail on all products sold.
You receive 25% commission based on the 60% remaining monies after the organization’s profit.
Note: All sales force member commissions are calculated on net retail sales after the organization’s profit is paid. Sales credit is also based on net retail sale after the organization’s profit. The fundraising organization’s profit plus the Consultant and any upline commissions are based on retail sales excluding applicable sales tax.
Example: $1,000 fundraiser
Total sales: $1,000
Organization receives: $400
Consultant/Manager receives: $150 (sales credit and commissions are based on the $600)
Fundraiser Orders
Fundraiser customers pay the fundraising organization for their products. Then the fundraising organization pays you for all of the product, minus the organizational profit of 40%, plus the appropriate sales tax. This means that your fundraising organization is responsible for any non-sufficient funds checks. This also means the fundraising organization will receive its profit up-front.
Customer Method of Payment
Customer credit cards are no longer accepted as payment for fundraiser orders. Currently only small percentage of consumers use their credit cards to place fundraiser orders. This applies to the fundraising organization and those who purchase fundraising items from that organization. The accepted form of payment will now include checks or cash only.
*Normally I have the organization collect funds in their name and then make you a check out in one payment for the complete order*
**LESS THEIR PROFIT AMOUNT
Shipping and Handling
Tupperware will now pay shipping costs for all Fundraisers with total Fundraiser retail sales of $250 or more (including the Continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii and Guam). This means that more than 97% of fundraiser orders will be shipped for free!
For fundraisers with retail sales of less than $100, Tupperware will charge a flat shipping fee of $7.
For fundraisers with retail sales between $100 and $249.99, Tupperware will charge a 7% shipping fee, based on the fundraiser retail.
For fundraisers with retail sales of $250 or more, there will be no shipping fee. Tupperware will no longer accept partial fundraiser shipments or customer-direct shipments
Puerto Rico — Shipping and Handling
Tupperware will pay shipping costs for all Puerto Rico fundraisers with a U.S. total retail of $250 or more.
For fundraisers with retail sales of less than $100, Tupperware will charge a flat shipping fee of $10
For fundraisers with retail sales between $100 and $249.99, Tupperware will charge a 10% shipping fee, based on the U.S. fundraiser retail amount.
For fundraisers with retail sales of $250 or more, there will be no shipping fee.
Update: Puerto Rico Prices
The Puerto Rico prices that appear in the Spanish version of the 2005 Fundraiser Catalog are incorrect (an additional 10% shipping was included in the price). Please use the Puerto Rico Price List published on My.Tupperware. We regret the error and any confusion that it may cause.

Sales Challenges and Other Incentives
Fundraiser sales do not qualify for additional incentives (i.e. Host Gift Specials, Purchase with Purchase offers, Attendance Specials, Host Bonus offers or dating gifts). Sales credit for bonuses is given on the net retail amount after the organization’s profit. Sales credit is given only to the Consultant or Manager responsible for the fundraiser project. No assignment of sales credit to any other member of the sales force is allowed.
Tupperware reserves the right to audit and verify sales credit and to confirm that there has been no manipulation or assignment of sales credit. Tupperware’s decision regarding this matter will be final.
New! Working With Tax-Exempt Status
Fundraising organizations, including not-for-profit organizations, generally are subject to sales tax and use tax laws in the state(s) where they do business. Please note that Tupperware will be responsible for collecting all sales tax.
If the fundraising organization is the customer and is tax exempt, Tupperware will not need to collect sales tax.
If individuals pay for their own orders and the profit is donated to the fundraising organization, Tupperware is required to collect sales tax regardless of whether the fundraising organization is tax-exempt or not.
Sales force members should request a copy of the fundraising organization’s tax-exemption certificate.
In the event that you have a tax-exempt fundraiser organization, you will be charged sales tax at the time the fundraiser order is submitted. Then, you need to contact Customer Care to request a refund for the taxes charged. You’ll be required to fax Customer Care a copy of the organization’s tax-exemption certificate. Upon approval, a credit will be processed.
Donations
To comply with tax laws, Consultants must keep accurate records regarding all monies donated to a group or organization. We recommend that Consultants contact a tax accountant to discuss the necessary procedures, which can vary by state.
