    I was going to pay online, is that not easier? I will need to check my invoice today, no doubt that will be sooner than I thought.
    I pay online with my debit card (for an a/c purely for Avon money) and it's a doddle :)

    how do you get the money then?
    As in how are you receiving it as all my campaigns it says i have "earned " money and ive not seen a penny

    :confused: Dunno!

    I've never been below the 25% level since I started and I only charge customers the brochure price. I do make a little by 'creative ordering' but that doesn't make a huge amount of difference.

    True, my brochures cost just under £12 per time, but the figures I mentioned take account of that. Perhaps you're buying a lot of demo stuff, or things for yourself? If you collect £400 and only own Avon £325, then that should be £75 for yourself :confused:

    Thanks Karen! So give a wide berth if they don't respond the next note, do you mean not deliver a cat to them next time either?

    Yip I wouldn't go back tot hem as if they are going to do it regularly you will spend too much time chasing them when you could be using the time elsewhere.
    Like I said send them a note stating it is a final request for them to get intouch, you are happy to return the items if money is a bit tight, and still deliver to them but they need to let you know.
    if you get no response you will take it as given that they are not wanting any further orders and won't deliver futher cats.

    obviously need to change the wording so it isn't as blunt
    but I am a bit knackered this morning and the old grey matter is rusty :rotfl:

    BTW, when is the money due on our accounts? My order day isn't until Friday 22nd May.

    I pay mine the day before I place my order
    so for your dates I would pay
    Thursday 21st May ;) but thats an only debit card payment

    Avon don't give you the money earned.
    E.g. You have £100 in orders. You collect this £100. You pay Avon £80 and keep the £20 (Less brochure prices, bags etc).
    Avon do not send you anything, but then you don't give Avon 100% of what you collect, you need to take your commission out of that.

    You make money from the fact being aslong as you orders are above the MOV you get commision on every sale
    £2 product - you earn 50p
    hence pay £1.50 to Avon and 50p to you.
    Seems simple really.
    if you have £200 of orders you earn £50 commission which means you send Avon £150.
    I spend a lot on Avon but that was part of the reason I started it was to get some treats fro myself without forking out for them :T

    But on the invoice it says you have 14 days to pay from the date of the invoice? I am paranoid that if I don't pay on time I will get charged, it says you can incur charges if you fail to pay on time? I am confused??

    HT you only get 1 as a demo you need to order them through the main C9 to get the watch now ;)
    HT unless it is in the clearance section you only get 1 item
    or if it is make up or scents you get one of each colour or fragrance.
    Hope that makes sense :o
