Avon Hints and Tips (Part 2)

lyndsey80

Rang Avon agan this morning as instructed and they said it may be delivered today, before 6pm. If it isn't then ring them again this evening. My mobile phone bill is going to be high!! But if I highlight these then I should be able to claim back?
Got all my deliveries sorted - finally!!! Took forever as there was so much free stuff!!!

Morning guys

Delivery day for me today, am very excited Theres not a huge amount of stuff so shouldn't take me too long to sort through, have prepped some catalogues to go out with the orders so will hopefully just be a case of bagging then distributing :rolleyes:

Am starting on new territory properly tomorrow doing a sweep of two roads in one go - picked tomorrow as the weather is *supposed* to be nicer then

Anyhoo, back to watching out of the window for the delivery man :rotfl:

We did get off lightly Summer!! I got the pencil, didn't take any notice of what it was tho, I'm a sucker for cheap prices!!! One customer didn't get a piece of make-up that was 2 for £5 - out of stock for now. So I will charge her the total minus £5, even if she doesn't want it. I will keep it I suppose. Another thing was missing but must have been on the daily deals as can't see anyone else missing anything.

Well all my plans of doing loads this campaign have gone right out the window, I'm only 4 days off order and haven't even covered all my regulars houses yet. Really need to get some books out today :eek::eek:

Lyndsey looks like we did got off easy with our targets then! I couldn't imagine a £1800 target:eek:

Well I spent a couple of hours last night sorting through my stuff. I am missing 4 things:eek: and I got sent two things that I didn't even order I am missing one Spectralash (ordered 7 got 6), one Princess Pink lip duo (ordered 3 but got 2 and a bronze glow one instead),the Arabian glow pressed powder and the delicate body wash (not charged for)The annoying thing is, is that 2 things are from one customer alone. I seem to be getting bad luck with my stuff. The courier also delivered the wrong piece of exercise equipment but she realised and came back with the right one later! So I guess I need to contact avon again. I haven't even checked that I have been charged the correct prices yet either. I am sure my eyelash curler was in a deal in C8 (hence back ordering), if so I have been overcharged as it came in at £5.00.

Also did anyone order the Arabian glow gold liner from the daily deal? I got it yesterday and it is a pencil, I am sure the picture showed a liquid liner, which is why I ordered it. Anyone?

I have checked C8 and the offer for the eyelash curlers was buy 2 for £7
so need to count through your stuff and see if it works out.

I haver orders the arabian glow gold but don't have it yet ( gets delivered monday ) But I too believed it was liquid liner :mad::rolleyes:

ok, just called courier and it will be around 11am apparently Thanks for the hint Laurie

Ah well, at least now I can spend the next hour and a half doing something other than being glued to the window

I do this too hun
I place my order on a tuesday
and on the Tuesday or the wednesday
I make up their bags
medium paper bag, fold their copy of there order form ( hand written side, I keep the duplicate )
add in their samples and write on the front of the bag
their name and the amount of products to be in their order
and the amount.
like my mum this month has 3 things so her bag has

Mum = 3 + Freebie
£15.00

I also write out a list on paper with their name and what they have to get
so I am not flicking through millions of paperwork on order day.

like
Customer a = 3

---

spectralash Black
G/wear Lippy Nude Gold
Watch

Customer b = 2

---

Spectralash Black Brown
After sun lotion 500mls

Customer c = 1

---

SSS Dry oil Blue

and so on

Then you just need that bit of paper doing you order
much easier than misplacing stuff with order forms.
and I highlight as I add it into their bag :T

Means on Monday it takes 20-30mins tops
rather than 1hr or 2

Everyone is so organised!!! I had Avon stuff all over my living room floor last night!! It's hard distinguishing what people ordered and what the products look like. The customer's description can be a bit vague!!

Once you have done a few campaigns you know what to look for
I usually check all the orders now and if there is anything I am not sure of I check the brochure and write it out on the duoplicate ( and my bit of paper ) how it makes sense to me
they may have wrote dry oil soft and fresh
I would rewrite that as SSS dry oil Blue so it is easy to notice on delivery day
I do use a lot of shorthand too when rewriting
honestly it gets much easier
