Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to join as a member of Good360 Australia?
Good360 Australia Membership is Free. Members don’t pay anything to register with Good360!
How much do members have to pay for goods?
Good360 aims to match the right goods with the right people at the right time. In order to maximise our impact across Australia, it is our goal to service every ACNC registered charity and every school with a ICSEA ranking < 1,000.
The goods are free. Some orders will have a small Shipping & Handling fee applied depending on the size of your organisation and the specific goods being ordered. Our current model works by providing most goods with no Handling Fee to smaller charities (less than $1m in annual income) and schools with a ICSEA ranking < 1,000. For larger charities, there is a sliding scale ‘Fee For Service’ model to help Good360 cover our Handling costs. Charities with annual income between $1-5m (based on ACNC data) will pay 2.5% of the order recommended retail price (RRP). Larger charities with annual income over $5m are eligible for certain additional benefits and will pay 5% of the order RRP. We rely on annual income information that is available on the ACNC website.
Good360 is continually working to keep our Handling costs low and efficiency high for the greatest benefit to our members.
What are the Shipping charges?
All members are charged for Shipping based on the volume of orders and distance for delivery. We work with transport companies around Australia to keep costs as low as possible for members.
Can some items be ordered for no charge?
Small charities (less than $1m in annual revenue based on ACNC data) and schools with an ICSEA ranking < 1000 will not be charged Handling, however Shipping charges will be passed on at cost.
Further to this, some items that we source from product donors will have no associated costs for all members. In some instances, product donors will cover the Shipping & Handling costs for our members and in others, Good360 will raise funds on behalf of members so that there are no charges involved.
On occasion, we will source items that need to be moved fast and may communicate these special offers to members throughout the year as they arise.
