Since most of us do not have a line of credit, I would suggest, considering they get the money from the fundraiser, that they pay you first, taking the 30% to 50% out of it so that you can then order the supplies needed to complete the order, you will have some to start but not to finish, and you cant guess what they are going to buy either. So, I am finishing up our second this week, (well the paper will be givien to me, no clue what was sold) and then I will order anything extra that may be needed, I did preorder wax and jars prior only cause I had monies left over from the last fundraiser. Oils, Pretty good there. Good luck.
