Frontier

Frontier sells many items that support healthy living at approximately 40% off retail prices. The organizer places the order, pays for the entire order, sorts the order and you reimburse them when you pickup.  
Frontier Organizers:
Marie - SW Spring Valley - Ft. Apache between Tropicana Ave. and Russell Rd.
Amy - Downtown - Maryland and Sahara
 
Here is the link to view products that are available through Frontier.
https://wholesale.frontiercoop.com/main.htmlThere is also a yearly printed catalog that you can get in paper or PDF version. The paper version is available through the website as item #8. The PDF version is available online and can be downloaded to your computer.
Here are the links to the Catalogs:
July 2012 - June 2013 Catalog
Sales Catalog (for March) http://wholesale.frontiercoop.com/whslpubl/FrontierMonthlySaleCatalog-2013-03.pdf Near the middle of each month the next Sales Catalog will be available online, just change the month in the above address to the next month and you can access it.

At the end of each month the organizers will post a reminder on the blog that it is ordering time and tell you what day they are hoping to place their order by. They will try to place the orders in the first few days of each month. This helps to make sure that items that are on sale are still in stock.

To Order
E-mail us via the Contact Us Page. Type "Frontier" into the Co-op/Organizer field. Request an invite to become a shopper on the website. Please include your first & last name, email address and phone #. Also include whether you want to order from the Downtown or Southwest location. The respective organizer will respond to you within 48 hours.
You will be sent an email invite from customercare@frontiercoop.com. Click on the link and setup a shopper account in order to place an order on the website. Your email invite will expire in 1 week if you do not setup your account and you will have to request another one. Please keep track of your username and password.Go to "My Order" in top right corner. All you need is item #'s and quantity. You can also search through the site and easily add items to your cart.
Your order will show as a “Draft” until you “Approve” it. The organizer will not be able to include your order with the group order if it is not “Approved”. Please note that if you do your order early in the month the status of particular items may have changed by the time the order is actually placed at the beginning of the following month. You may want to double check your order closer to the 1st of the month. Also, sale items are based on the current month...for example if you are working on your order on Feb. 28th you will see sale prices for February. The order will not be placed until March and March sale prices are not shown until the 1st so this may change your order a bit.
You can make changes to your order at any time even if you have already "Approved" it until the final group order has been placed.
There is a small fee of $.25 per item to help compensate the organizers for their time. This fee will be added to your order when you pickup.

How to Pay:
You can choose to pay in CASH/CHECK when you pick up your order or PayPal Funded or Credit Cards (you pay all fees) PRIOR to pick-up.
Please refer to the Payments tab for PayPal payment instructions or to the individual organizer.

If you are interested in being a Frontier Organizer, please contact us for more information.

New Frontier Catalog!

Hi Frontier Friends...

The July 2012 - June 2013 Frontier Wholesale catalog is now available. If you have the PDF version saved on your computer you will need to delete it and re-save the new catalog catalog.

https://wholesale.frontiercoop.com/whslpubl/FrontierWholesaleCatalog.pdf

If you would like to have a paper version you may enter it on the spreadsheet using Item #8 Frontier Catalog. It is free and saves on extra shipping if we order them with the monthly shipment.

Frontier Update

Hello Frontier Friends,

This month there will be one Frontier order placed instead of two and you can choose which location you want to pick up by putting it in the notes on the spreadsheet with your order. This is new so we will have some kinks to work out. Hopefully by taking turns placing the order each month it will give us a bit more much needed time with our families. Feel free to post or contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Happy Shopping,
Marie & Amy

Azure

Hi...just a reminder that if it is your first time ordering through Azure you need to get in touch with the drop coordinator before you actually want to place your order. They will give you their drop # for their location.

The fastest way to get their phone # is to call Azure directly at 541-467-2230. I do not have the contact information for all the drop coordinators and if you email me using the contact page you need to give me 24 hours to check my email and then another 24 hours for the person I emailed to get back to you. Thanks for understanding. :)

Azure Standard

You go to their website (azurestandard.com) and open up an account. It is free. You will then fill your cart and checkout through them (NO COD's). They require a $50 minimum purchase per person. It will ask you what drop point you want your order shipped to. You will then enter the drop number of the location closest to you (see list of drops below). Typically, the orders have to be in by 4pm on the second to last Thursday of each month. Azure’s website has a schedule posted, we are Route K-5, or ask your drop person.

Once you’ve submitted your order, as long as the deadline has not past, you can go in and resume it and re-check out again. Remember, just because you ordered something, does not mean it will come on the truck. They pull the orders after the deadline and right before they load the truck.

The order will typically be delivered to your drop location the following Monday afternoon or evening. You will need to communicate with your drop person to know the closest times of delivery. We ask that if you are available, please come help unload the truck. The driver does not do it, so it's up to us! Communicate with your drop person. Some drop coordinators send emails to those on their drop. THE DRIVER’S SCHEDULE CHANGES THROUGHOUT THE DAY. YOU MUST LOG ON PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY TO SEE WHEN HE IS DUE TO ARRIVE AT YOUR DROP!! WE WILL NOT CONTACT YOU ANY OTHER WAY.

We do understand that some of you work or have young children and will not know if you can help unload the truck until we know when it will be here. Unfortunately, most of us don't have fridge or freezer space to store cold or frozen items SOOOO if it turns out that you are unable to help unload and you want to order cold/frozen items, YOU MUST MAKE ARRANGMENTS PRIOR TO ORDERING WITH YOUR DROP COORDINATOR OR WITH A FRIEND TO PICK UP FOR YOU, OTHERWISE DON’T ORDER IT!!
