Read More expand_more

Our deliveries are made during school hours from 8AM to 4PM. Many factors can affect delivery time such as weather, traffic, road construction, staffing, unexpected vehicle issues, etc. Us committing to a time frame limits the amount of deliveries we can have a day therefore affecting our cost. In order to bring you competitive prices, we have implemented this window frame because it has worked succesfully since 2004.

Why are deliveries made only to ground floor?
Read More expand_more

At Snack Value, our staff's well being is our top priority. Our dollies are made to handle heavy loads, but when they are loaded it is not safe to climb upstairs. We will drop off your order wherever the office staff/custodian directs us as long as it is ground delivery and there are NO STEPS INVOLVED (this include the entrance to the building as well). If the delivery needs to go in a different floor and an elevator is provided, we can do it. However, if there is no elevator, the order will be dropped off in the main floor of the school. 

How can I know which invoices have been paid?

I'm receiving a delivery today. What can I expect?
Read More expand_more

Our delivery window is from 8AM-4PM on delivery days.

Our drivers will buzz the office at the front door and come into your school with your order.

We carry very big dollies! Our drivers cannot do stairs for safety reasons with the dollies, so please ensure that our way is step-free. If you need to let us know of specific delivery instructions, please make sure you contact the office prior to your first delivery so we can takes notes. Once your profile has delivery notes, we will always deliver where you tell us to. 

Snack Value only delivers to ground floor. If you need the delivery to go up the building, it is the school's resposility to do so. However, if you have an elevator that's big enough for the order and the dolly, we can deliver it to a top floor. 

We hope that you understand that our drivers need to deliver anywhere from 20-25 schools a day in a 8-hour period accross the city. We need to promptly deliver your order so we can fullfill others as well. 

Please ensure that your fridge/freezer is unlocked and ready for your order, however big or small it might be. Our drivers are instructed to store temperature controlled items where they belong, but if there isn't enough space, they will leave it out and inform a staff member about it. Remember that the school is 100% responsible for temperature controlled items once we leave. 

As of September 2023, the drivers will be taking a picture of the delivery and will ask for someone at the school to sign for it. Once the delivery is completed, the school is 100% responsible for the items dropped off. 

I am organizing a fundraiser for the school. What can I do to be prepared?
Read More expand_more

Organizing a fundraiser can be a lot of fun but also very challenging! Rest assured that Snack Value can help you with a wide selection of yummy treats.

Usually after March break, fundraising season starts. Fundraising runs most of the time on a weekly basis. If the articles you’re choosing to purchase are shelf stable (popcorn, ice cream, chips, cookies, etc) and you have the space to store them, we highly recommend that you place more than 1 weekly order at a time.

Our suppliers come with merchandise on a weekly basis, but when everything is selling out quick during this busy season, is better to stock up!

The earlier you placed your order, the better!

Fundraising Scenario. I have limited space in my freezer, what can I do?
Read More expand_more

Take a look at the following scenario:

Your school wants to start a fundraiser on May 25th (Thursday) that runs until the last week of the year. You receive this information the first week of May.

Your school’s choice of treat is ice cream. You have limited space on the school’s chest freezer.

You send out the information to students by the end of that first week/the beginning of the second week and have your numbers by the end of the second week.

You should be placing your order shortly after that! Do not wait until two days before May 25th to place your order.

When your freeze is empty after your first succesful round of ice cream Thursdays on May 25th, place your new order right away! Our fastest turn around is 2 business days so your next shipment will come into your school with plenty of time.

The earlier you placed your order, the better!
