Society Group/Bulk Orders - Simply collect all the blue order forms and payment from your members, collate the data and enter on the blue summary sheet. Please check through the order forms and ensure all items are listed in the correct sections. Failure to do this may delay your order whilst correct totals are calculated and extra payment, if required, is collected.
Should you require individual packing, an individual packing fee of £1.65 per members order is required. If a member has items they wish to be sent to them directly please add the correct postage charge.
Individually packed group orders will be sent to the secretary’s address only.
Send all the forms along with the top three copies of the blue summary sheet and payment to Kings. It is suggested to keep a photocopy or picture of the order forms in case it is lost in transit to us, or a query arises with the order.

Direct delivery items
These items are for direct delivery to your affiliate member and have a lorry symbol () against the product. Although the cost should be added with your total remittance on the summary sheet, the items will be despatched straight to your member’s address, when available. Please ensure we have your member’s full name, address and telephone number and any specific delivery instructions. If not provided the items will be automatically despatched to the secretary’s delivery address.
