they had blood on them thought that was a bit yucky to send backl lol...i usually wear flip flops all the time except in the rain lol and they were the only to rubs inside my toes

oh that's a shame Lolly. You could have got your money back and also given feedback to Avon that these rubbed your toes and made them bleed. You might have had a bad batch. Maybe you should email them through the website and explain what happened.

Mine cut my feet so badly at first, but when I let them heal and used them again they were so comfy - just kept forgetting to wear them! Going to try and remember whenever the weather is nice!

woohooo .. I am all signed up ,

My asm gave me 60 brochures and started me on campaign 17 so I have until monday to get as many orders as I can - she couldn't tell me what territory I have just where it is so have to wait for an email from her to let me know but I'm going to start at the school this evening asking the mums that I talk to if they are interested and hopefully brochure drop tomrrow - pray for nice weather for me

Off on my first brochure drop tonight, going to give the knock at the doors a go and if no one in put through door, this because only got 30 brochures for nealy 200 houses. : )

Woohoo had an email from my cousin who takes a book into work for me. Got me 4 orders to the total of £113 so altogether I now have £127 worth of orders with my new road to finish canvessing and family to go.

Spoke to my AM on Thursday, got brochures on Friday. She said that as we live on a new housing estate our road is not on the territory system so I am safe to drop there. Only problem is there are only 6 houses being lived in at the moment!!!
Have been waiting since Friday for her to sort out my territory - thats a wasted weekend and 2 wasted days this week. Called 6 times yesterday (refused to accept an ansaphone!) and finally got through to be told she would email me with a territory before 9am this morning - no sign yet and she's still on ansaphone.:mad:
Getting pretty wound up now as I have filled in my contact details on 35 order forms, bought some resealable freezer bags (hope they don't get nicked!), and they are ready do drop when I know where I am going!!! Can't see any point in just dropping to 6 houses - I will never get £78 from 6 houses, eh? !!
(PS I know I am being impatient but all the other newbies on here seem to be doing so well!!!)

dont be too sure...those 6 houyses could have people who are big orderers...i have one lady who has order 50 quids worth of stuff this campaign and i have never known her to order less ...plus i had another order for 50 so in just 2 houses that is 100 so give ita whirl you never know...and seeing as its nearly xmas you might be in some luck

Everyone seems to be doing great this campaign, maybe ppl are starting to get in the xmas shopping mood

I have had a bit of a bad Avon day. Checked my invoice for my delivery due tomorrow and it says that on 11th Nov I will be recharged for items that I returned with the carrier last campaign. Have emailed them and given them the barcode number it was returned with

Also bumped into a customer this afternoon who asked me if I was still doing Avon as someone else has canvassed my territory. Have emailed ASM and asked her to look into it, luckily this customer gave me the lady's name lol

irritating when that happens...i had that happen to me luckily it was only one campaign and my customers knew who i was

Well my MIL isn't having a very good start - got her territory from asm, she took books - when she collected basically everyone said they already have avon from someone else, and she's managed to find out who, its a lady who used to do that patch but then had a kid, and so presumably just took it upon herself to restart on her old territory without checking!!! So MIL no where near MOV yet and our orders have to go in next Tuesday - not happy, especially with it being my MIL. Will have to ring asm tomorrow and explain, and get her some new territory in a different neighbouring village, no way is that other lady going to give up her customers and only 2 people from MIL territory placed orders which were houses that were out of the way a bit which obviously the other lady doesn't bother with.

So mad!!! Why doesn't that lady just get territory!!!! Think we will have to give MIL some of our orders to put through on her account so that she at least gets 25% discount on the orders shes managed to get.

AvonNewbie - I've been recharged for items before that supposedly weren't returned (even though it was a box full of about 10 items, and only 2 weren't received so obviously there fault!) - I just rang, gave them the barcode number and was recredited without any problem, I wouldn't worry, I think they expect to get a certain amount wrong so take our word for it luckily!
