Should I open a Team Store? What do I need to know?Updated a month ago

Create Your Team Store HERE .

Many customers open a Boathouse Team Store for the convenience provided. Each team member can select the gear they want, go through check out pay for their items, and then have them delivered directly to their own house.

Here are some additional facts about Team Stores to decide if this is the right choice for your team.

How long will the Team Store stay open?
A Team Store will typically stay open for 1-2 weeks. Stores can open on any weekday, but stores must close on a Monday or Tuesday night.

Is there any additional cost for a Team Store?
Team Stores charges a small surcharge on products to cover the costs of setting up the store. Items on a Team Store are priced at 5% more than the Team Price for the items.

Are there minimum order quantities?
YES. All Team Stores must meet the product minimums for each product for the product to be manufactured. Minimum quantities are 6 for outerwear (jackets & pants) and Unisuits. All other items are a minimum of 12. If the Team Store accrues orders for less than the minimums on an item, the orders for that item will be canceled and the items will not be produced.

How much is shipping?
With a Team Store, each person pays for their shipping. Shipping costs $16.95 per order. Orders of $299.00+ will receive FREE shipping.   Bulk Shipping option is also available on team stores.  For Bulk Shipping store will be sorted by order and shipped to one location.  For this option, each order pays $8.00 in shipping. 

How long does it take to get our order?
Once the store closes, we start making your gear right here in our factory in Philadelphia, PA USA!  Depending on the season it can take up to 4-8weeks  (including shipping transit time) to get the orders delivered from the store close date.  Check with your local sales rep for current lead times.  

Can I use the Team Store to raise funds for my team or club?
Yes. A percentage (usually 10% to 25%) or a flat fee (dollar amount) can be added to the cost of the Team Store product for fundraising. Please note that each item must meet the quantity minimum to qualify for the fundraiser dollars earned on that product. Once a Team Store has shipped, the store contact will receive an email containing their rebate voucher showing the rebate amount that they have earned from the store. The store contact will need to complete the rebate voucher and email it back to Boathouse. Once Boathouse receives the completed rebate voucher, the rebate check is mailed out within 45 business days.
