Did anyone use Reindeer Lane Holiday shop this year?

Our school has used Reindeer Lane for a few years....At first it was a really good program, no inventory, every item had a price code (which made it easy and fast to find the price), but this last year we used them, it was not a good experience at all. In fact our school is not using them in the future.

The quality of the items weren't great, but weren't the worst either.

This year we were not allowed to go by price codes alone, so that meant having to learn over 100-200 item codes. When I called them and voiced my concerns, (they were polite), but were unable to help me because our past president had opted out on getting a cash register with a scanner (they wouldn't let me change anything) Personally we have talked about going to the dollar store throughout the year and buying items. No worries of broken items, and the prices won't be outrageous! We were selling half inflated "Dad" footballs for $16.50!

My opinion is there are definitely better ways. Hope this helps

no inventory = no control If they make a mistake in figuring the bill or there is a cash register problem then YOU wind up paying for it. We did this 2 years ago and the invoice was for almost $100 more than we took in. Last year we went back to the shop we used for years (Kids Korner) and had a better sale than ever plus a much better selection (and less expensive) gifts. It's worth the extra hour of your time to make sure the job gets done right.

HI,
Our school received an offer from Reindeer Lane gift shop was just wondering how the no inventory is. Are the products of good quality? Looking for some insight. Thanks so much!
