About the Catalogs

UNFI and Azure Standard catalogs both offer thousands of natural and organic products from a variety of categories: Bulk, Grocery, Frozen, Gluten-Free, Raw, Pet food and goods, Personal Care, Supplements, and more. Once you have your catalog and have located items that you are interested in ordering please refer to the ‘Special Order Policy’ before submitting your special order online.

Special Order Policy/Mark-up Structure

The mark-up structure: 0% mark-up (farmer, producer, restaurant, and any member-worker who volunteers eight (8) or more hours per month) and 15% mark-up (basic member-owners).

Ordering Procedure

1. All orders are placed by downloading and completing the special order form and sending it via e-mail to orders@greatbasinfood.coop. Member-owners with no computer access can come into the Co-op and fill out a special order form at the Co-op.
2. If you are ordering through UNFI and would like to receive an electronic copy of the weekly organic produce list please e-mail orders@greatbasinfood.coop and ask to be placed on the weekly distribution list.
3. Please remember to check the mark up box in which you are designated according to your type of member-owner standing.
4. Please save the file as your name or business name if ordering for your business.
5. If you do not receive a response from our member-worker who handles special orders then your special order was not received and will not be placed. Please either re-complete and submit your order or call the Co-op to make sure that your order is received by the weekly deadline.
6. Other important details: please abbreviate product description, brand name, and category (chill, grocery, etc–Sometimes the names are too long and cover up other fields). Supply current page number so that if the code is transcribed incorrectly, we can look up the proper code. Supply an alternative if your item is imperative to receive(sometimes certain items are out of stock). For quantity you need to enter the amount of cases that you wish to receive, not how many are in a case
7. It would be helpful to us if you enter the prices for your own reference to get an idea of the cost of your order for yourself or business. Because prices are subject to change, it is not necessary for the order intake team to use on Monday’s. The Co-op uses the prices on the invoice because it is the final price.
8. Order Deadlines:
   1. UNFI orders are due each Sunday by 8 p.m.
   2. Azure orders are due the third Wednesday of the month by 8 p.m.
9. All orders must be picked up and paid for at the Co-op each following Tuesday. Member-owners who place special orders and do not pick them up or at least call to make special arrangements on the following Tuesday will not be allowed to place special orders in the future.

Credits

If you receive any damaged/spoiled/broken product, the Co-op has 48 hours from the time that the order is delivered on Tuesday morning to call in and receive credit for the damaged goods. Please check your items upon pick-up and let the person handling special orders know right away. If you notice something once you are home either e-mail special orders or call the Co-op.
