Due to my health I had to stop being an Avon rep 3 years ago and now my local one has just given up. So I wanted to ask - is there anyone in the Torbay area of Devon working as a rep and prepared to drop a book in for me? I used to be a regular orderer. Please p.m me if so as I really miss all my products and hate having to pay postage via the website.

Sorry if this is off topic in a way - feel free to delete me if so.

Well done Avon Salesleader for making President Club Associate:T

Wow, £6500 is a lot in 18 campaigns... wonder how if I stand a chance in getting in to that

So went to the hairdressers yesterday, one salon didn't have any orders for me, but I think they kept it in the staff room, there really isn't a lot of staff that work there so might not get a lot of orders from them in the future. The other hairdresser gave me £20 worth of orders and I have to go back on Friday, as another employee wanted to place an order but wasn't there! So that was well worth it. Picked up another £5.00 of orders yesterday but have to go back to collect a few cats this evening then a shop tomorrow and that's it!! Almost at £200 just now, but should hopefully hit the £250.

How is everyone else getting on?

I have a question about deliveries, I have read that many people seem to get their deliveries early morning and in loads of boxes. I am getting mine delivered to my work as I don't have a safe place, do you think this will be okay. I am not going to be bombarded with boxes am I? Don't want my work to be annoyed by getting loads of parcels for me.:eek:

Yes, think I will order both - is it easy to sort out returns??
I wanted my delivery at work but ASM said that you might get loads and I have to rely on someone for a lift, so not fair on them really.
Have put my next door neighbour as she has got deliveries for me before, but there is no guarantee she will be in.
I have now bought a padlock for my little storage unit in the back garden - can I just change the delivery safe place online easy enough? My order is due in tonight, if I change it tonight will the be enough time? What happens if the safe place is unavailable i.e. neighbour not in, storage container outside isn't big enough?
Sorry for all these questions!

If you go into 'my orders' > 'order tracking' on the website, it will tell you how many 'units' you can expect.

A unit may be a full size box, a shrink wrapped pack of 20 brochures, or a handbag or similar item on it's own. Every separate piece of the delivery counts as an item. Confusing until you get used to it

I only live 5 minutes round the corner from my work, lucky I know, but I can't depend on my neighbour being in, so that wasn't an option. My order is always due on a Friday so I worried if I missed it, then I wouldn't get it until Monday:eek:

My work is open from 8am-6pm, what are the chances I might miss it? I have heard they sometimes deliver at 7am!

Lyndsey what was your final total for your first campaign?

I would ring Avon about this as last year a customer wanted something which was in a clearance book, I managed to get hold of it through the Avon HO and they added it to my next order so I did not have to pay postage.

£6,500 (in 18 campaigns)

saw customer who wanted those necklaces and told her about the £2.50 charge-wasn't a problem she said.she wants 16 of the necklaces now as well

I would try Avon and try to add it to your next order if they have the stock. Sometimes you can order a product without going by the usual channels.
I did this last year when someone wanted a watch which was on special but it was between campaigns.

Anything is worth a try and if you can save spending £2.50 on postage all the better

Not done the final total, but looks like it's over £150! STILL got my sister's to get!! And one woman, who I went back to TWICE said she wanted to order something, left the brochure out with no order!! Another woman still hasn't had a chance to look at it, so I said the deadline is this evening, when I was moaning to my sister about it she said they were as bad as each other!!
Doubt I'll hit £200 but you never know...
What's your total so far Summer?

thanx for that.i'll have a word with the customer first though cos i'm not sure if she wants them now or can wait.i did tell her it would be roughly a week from when i order that she'll get them.i've got to go past her house in 30 mins so i'll ask her if she's in-not got a phone number for her yet but she only lives 2 mins from here
