Would not sell for this company. They do not take your child's safety into consideration and their selection is unimpressive. Items are generally really cheap quality but I was still willing to make many sales for my child in effort to help their school & help them win a few prizes.
However, when I went to edit his personal link/website, I was unable to remove my child's school name on the header of the page despite being able to remove it out of the personalized content.
I reached out to Miss Chocolate and expressed concern about this and mentioned that other parents disliked this as well. In 2023 and with everything going on, privacy is extremely important.. especially when it comes to our child and a link is public for all to see and out on the internet forever. There's absolutely no reason there shouldn't be a way to just delete the school name off the website.
The VP replied in a very nasty and combative manner to me and, instead of trying to help, tried to berate me and say I'm the ONLY person who has ever "complained" about this and that they're doing just fine, etc. I mean this guy just went on and on. It was extremely unprofessional. At worst, he could have just replied with "Sorry, we do not have that option at this time but I'll forward this to our ABC department..etc" .. but instead chose to write an entire essay about how wrong and outrageous I was and ended the email very smugly.
For this reason, I threw the catalog away and I will not participate in fundraising with this company. Their items and service was always subpar but this took the cake for me. Other parents do not like the advertisement of their child's specific school on the website link either but apparently this was such an awful inquiry on my end and ultimately their goal is to argue with fundraisers/customers vs. just taking a small moment to have IT fix something extraordinarily simple and give the parents the option to maintain their child's privacy online.
I'll be finding other fundraising companies and going in all local groups/school groups to suggest to the schools they go with a new fundraising company that's...
   Read moreI chaired a Pta fundraiser with Miss Chocolate for my school Passover fundraiser. At first it seemed like a very easy fundraiser to run, we did our part, sold the chocolate, paid for our order on full, had both internet orders and orders paid by credit card. Everything was good up until this point.
Miss chocolate took our check and did not send us a confirmation of our order, and a total for what we collected. On several occasions I reached out to their office spoke with Maryanne. Maryanne at first was helpful and would tell me that she would get me the information...but it never happened.
Our order got delivered the 2nd week of April and again no check for our school. I called Miss Chocolate and spoke with Maryanne who told me she would get back to me. 3x I was sent invoices stating that we owed them money....I requested to speak to the owner last Wensday and I was told he was on vacation and their bookkeeper was out sick....again this is their business they run fundraiser and write checks back to the organizations...
Spoke with the owner who yelled at me, because I wanted the money we raised. Yes seriously he yelled at me because from March 18th until April 30th his company could not enter into quickbooks our payment and write a check for the amount due back to our school.
Finally Today May 1st our check is ready to pick up. Lol it is wrong. Miss chocolate shorted our group $30 because on their website they had a link for donations and they only wanted to give us 40% of the $100 donation we got...yes they wanted to keep $60. In the end they only gave us 70% of the donation.....how foul is that..
Perhaps they are seriously hurting for money. But when your business model is scamming charities I guess eventually you get hit by karma. Perhaps we should know better when $7 worth of candy is marked up $11. Not a 40% markup 157% mark up. All of their products bared the same ridiculous mark ups $7 candy for $12 again 70% mark up.
Miss chocolate is a huge scam and there are other ways to raise funds for...
   Read moreThis company is a disaster. My child used Miss Chocolate for a youth group charity fundraiser and the results were very disappointing. We ended up with half our order and I had to pay twice for nothing. The worst part is I have no idea if the charity got any of that money.
My coworkers paid for their orders on-line and their credit cards were charged but Miss Chocolate told us they couldn’t find their orders. I had to pay a second time in order for my daughter to get credit, my coworkers to get what they ordered, and the charity to get their money. However, only one of the items ordered by my coworkers arrived for delivery and no one can explain why items that were paid for twice never arrived. Here’s the kicker, now I have to refund my coworkers for their orders which means I am out twice the items’ value for nothing. Since Miss Chocolate has no record for the lost orders, I believe the charity did not get any of that money. I would encourage anyone exploring this company for its charity fundraising program to...
