    Lol at least it isn't far too go then!

    I have to say I'm not always honest, I've had people order an item at say £3.50 which was in a £5 offer - in those cases I've always ordered something for myself/freebies! As they would be spending more, but if it's a case of they can get something free, or cheaper in your case then I always confess lol! :D

    Ooo so excited - got a sign up next Tuesday evening, and going by myself (well OH is accompanying me to be on the safe side lol) as ASM can't make evening appointments and with me working shifts she didn't have much choice lol! Just waiting to hear from her about arranging to drop of her books & appointment pack!

    And rang another lady who is interested - woke her up lol, so have emailed her so there may be another sign-up next week if I'm lucky! Only problem is I think she might be interested in being a SL (bought the lead of flissys and it didn't say until I'd received it!) - I'm hoping she just didn't realise what was involved and will be happy with just being a Rep. Don't fancy training anyone while I'm still finding my feet!

    Congrats Lozza! How does being a SL work money wise? Do you earn from how much your rep's make?

    I picked up my cats last night and the only person to order had spent £2.49!!!! :rolleyes: 3 books were not put out for me so I intending on going back for them after I had dropped off cats to new houses.

    So feeling very deflated, I went back out with my cats and new order forms to knock on doors and after delivery of them went round to collect my books from the 3 houses. One lady was in and had an order of £37!!! :D

    That made my night and the street worthwhile.

    After paying for my admin charge, freebie giveaways, paperbags and new cats I am currently left with a profit of £50 to go towards my savings (or maybe new shoes) Very pleased!

    I have a quick Q regarding returns.

    One of my friends asked me this and i wasnt sure of the answer so i thought i would ask here.

    If she orders a product and it comes with a free item, does the free item need to be returned if she returns the original item.

    And if she buys say the £10 eye offer but doesnt get on with 1 of the products how does that work if she wants to return it. Does all the items need to be returned for her to be able to get her money back.

    Just picked up my best order so far - £70.99!!!:jIts from one of my regulars but so far she's always ordered around £20 worth of products. Got soaking wet in the process as it was absolutely bucketing down at the time, but was worth it lol! Didn't finishe my pickups though as I was so wet and it didn't stop raining, will have to go later. But my total for C10 so far is £689.53:j:j:j

    This comes after I had to return to orders, one for £38 - after promising to pay me on a certain day but never having the money she now doesn't answer her phone and if I go to her house someone else opens and says she is not in and they don't know when she will be back (and she has young kids!) so left her a message to say if I don't hear from her by Friday will send goods back. The other, £30 went to deliver, an old man opened the door, said it was for his daughter but she lives in Spain and went back there last week after a month's holiday here - didn't leave him money or anything so he said I should just send it back:mad:

    Anyway - today's orders have made more than up for it lol!

    Hope you all don't get too wet today!

    Hi princesswoo

    From what I understand any free items have to be returned to. I'm sure I've read it somewhere.

    However I'm new and have never returned anything so there is a chance I'm wrong!! :o
  • panambi, wow, you have got a great C10 order there. I have no chance of getting anything like that this campaign. C10 seems to have been a pretty bad campaign for most of us. What is your secret? My highest from a customer is £43.00 so far, wouldn't mind a few more of them just now to boost my sales!

    Wow!! Congrats! I would be over the moon!

    I only had 2 weeks for this Camp so I'm really looking foward to having the full 3 weeks next time and hopefully making some bigger figures.
