Special Orders

One perk of MFC ownership is special ordering, where owners order case/bulk quantities of product at a discounted price, typically 10-20% off.

This is a great way to keep the pantry stocked and save money.  

Special orders are prepaid and arrive with our regular shipments of goods, with variations in arrival time depending on the product. Questions on included products, quantities, and final pricing, as well as the fulfillment of orders, can be done over the phone or in the store at the Customer Service Desk.

FAQs
