New feature: Set your ordering deadline
Science fair coordinators,
You can now set the ordering deadline for your website separately from your registration deadline. (Previously, you could only set the registration deadline which affected both the ability to register for the fair as well as order supplies.) The ordering deadline can be set from the Basic Settings page of your website, once you are logged in as the coordinator. Once the ordering deadline has passed, your students/parents will no longer be able to order supplies, although you still can if you are logged in as the coordinator.
We strongly recommend that you set your ordering deadline to be approximately 5 weeks before your science fair. This way, we can ship those orders out to you the day after the deadline, and your students will still have plenty of time to put together their project display board. (Keep in mind that orders take up to 8 business days to arrive, depending on where you are located.)
A word about our shipping policy and shipping charges. We are happy to be able to ship to you an unlimited number of full boxes free of charge. A full box consists of 30 display boards or an equivalent mix of display boards and header boards (e.g., 25 display boards + 20 header boards). We will also ship to you one partially full box free of charge the day after your ordering deadline. A partially full box is anything less than 30 display boards (or equivalent). If you need to request any additional shipments that consist of partially full boxes, you will be charged for the cost of shipping. Try to avoid this, as shipping for these large boxes can be quite costly.
If you are using Our Science Fair to manage your science fair this year, I would also strongly recommend that you take 10 minutes to read through our brief documentation on ordering, payment, billing, and shipping. It will probably answer a lot of questions, and avoid any unpleasant surprises. You can access the documentation by logging in as the coordinator, and clicking on Documentation near the bottom of the left menu bar.
Thanks, and email me at rajeev@oursciencefair.com if you have any questions or concerns.
