Place your order
Now for the fun part! Choose products from the delicious Cadbury Fundraiser range, such as Freddo, Caramello Koala and Cadbury Dairy Milk. You can mix and match products – it's a good idea to keep things simple for whoever is reconciling the funds by combining products of the same value.
Ordering is easy. It's all done online – simply set up an account for a 28 day account (minimum order and T&Cs apply). For help at any point, contact your local consultant on 1800 809 444 and they can talk you through the process.
Orders generally arrive within 2-3 days, depending on delivery address. Consider where to store the boxes before sellers collect them – it needs to be somewhere cool.
