Hi being cheeky can you let me know roughly what you said in your ad. And have you had any probs with these's ads. Thought as it was free it would be worth it to advertise as I've got nothing to lose. Cheers

Will PM you

Not had any problem... BUT its only been up just over a week... one thing i purposely did was i didnt put my phone number... just my avon specific email address... part of me in cautious about putting my mobile number on the net but doesnt mind it being on all my order forms etc :rotfl:

Yippee!!! My order arrived this morning at 8! Just checked it and it's all there apart from a couple of samples.

I've got some sales booklets saying "SALE 6" - I assume those are to go in with campaign 6 books? I've also been given a few bookmarks advertising the garden set & tatty teddy figure (from C6) that it says I can put in with C5 with me being on a late mail plan? Is that right? Don't want to put them in if the people can't actually order the products!

Morning !!!
Looks like I have been ripped off twice and I am fuming !!!
I placed 2 adverts on the Avon Wanted site for items that were out of stock in my last order - Namely the Pashmina and the London Bag.
I had multiple responses to both and sent the money to 2 other reps who said that they had the items and included an extra amount for P & P
This was over 2 weeks ago and neither item has turned up and I have had no response to my emails to either of them !!! Luckily I paid for one by Paypal so have raised a dispute but I didnt think people would do this for £7.50 and £9.00 respectively

Has this happened to anyone else

PS Thanks Jo for the Kaftan it is perfect and this post is no reflection on you at all xxx

I looked on the Avon forums and there were a few posts about being ripped off, i would have thought they are easily traceable, have you talked to your ASM

That must be horrible! I said this to my SL when she was joining me up and all she could say was that online you have to pay delivery so it doesn't lose customers... But if I could get the things I wanted 3wks before I'd probably pay the £3 odd charge. People want things quick these days...
How frustrating... I can see them losing reps over that...

Maybe offer her a discount or a loyality scheme

thanks but as she orders like £50 worth per camp it would mean offering her something every time or as you say a loyalty scheme but she just wants her products quickly i dont think it would make a difference!

i just feel so let down by avon!

Its worth a try, are you just going to let it go ?

Personally i would offer them 5-10% at least you are getting something.

I know how you feel but there is nothing you can do thats how Avon works they cant supply everyone at once thats why they stagger it out.

and i know that but why not offer the internet orders after all the reps have been served!
