Here are some frequently asked questions:

And here are some answers:

Are there membership fees?


We charge a 5% distribution fee on orders rather than a membership fee. This helps to cover costs of operating the market, such as gas for deliveries, supplies, software fees etc. Due to increased cost we plan to increase it to 7% in 2012.

  • Communicate with the distribution site directly.
  • Take your invoice with you.

Rules

  • All items are labeled. Please take only your items.
  • Pay for your items when you pick up your items.
