Order Limits at Good360: What You Need to Know

Good360 enforces order limits on certain high-demand products to ensure fair distribution among nonprofit members. These limits help manage product availability and prevent stock depletion, ensuring more organizations have access to the goods they need. This article explains why order limits exist, how they work, and how nonprofits can navigate them.

Why Do Order Limits Exist?

Order limits are implemented to manage the availability of donations that Good360 receives in limited quantities. By limiting how much of a high-demand product can be ordered by one nonprofit, Good360 ensures that more organizations have the opportunity to source essential goods. This is especially important when working with limited donations from corporate partners.

• Ensuring fair access: Not all donations come in large quantities, so setting limits helps distribute products to a wider group of nonprofits.
• Managing demand: High-demand items, like disaster relief supplies or popular consumer goods, are more likely to have order limits due to the urgency or popularity of these donations.

How Do Order Limits Work?

When browsing Good360’s donation catalog, nonprofits will see if there is an order limit on specific items. This limit is displayed on the product card within the catalog listing.

• Limited items: For high-demand products, order limits are clearly stated in the catalog. If no limit is mentioned, nonprofits are free to order according to their needs, as long as they comply with other program guidelines.
• First-come, first-served: Since some items may go out of stock quickly, it’s recommended that nonprofits place orders promptly when high-demand products are available.

What Happens if a Product Reaches its Order Limit?

Once an item reaches its order limit, nonprofits will no longer be able to add additional quantities to their order. This ensures that the goods are distributed as evenly as possible across all eligible nonprofits. Nonprofits are encouraged to check back regularly, as new donations and restocks are frequently added to the Good360 catalog.
