    only one grief is that my brocures for c4 were missing from my order!

    What sort of missing ? 'To follow' (i.e. not available yet) or charged for on the invoice but not in the box ?

  • they are stated on the invoice but the driver said he had no brocures when he delivered, but ive been charged for them. also it says 3 units on the website but i only got 2 boxes. i presume the other unit is the books??

    Sounds like it yes. You need to contact them about it.

    and im having to pay 25 quid for that???...and it isnt even optional lol. that stinks :)

    Could be wrong on this but.... if it's the same case that you get after 6 campaigns of hitting your targets then it's a decent piece of kit (much better than my own laptop bag) with a few extras. So by the time they add in the recruiting stationery etc. then I can see why they render the £25 charge. Are there any other costs involved to becoming a SL?

    Email customer service through the website and tell them the zip is faulty and if they could send you a replacement and you will send the other one back. They can fix it or bin it.

    Thanks again. Have now emailed them and await their response.

  • okay, makes more sense now lol, thank you! i think i might do that just got to get myself organized! Am i allowed to drop some brochures at the doctors surgery,, how could i do this, i was thinking maybe a flyer on each brochure to inform any readers who i was and how avon can benefit them... erm, not sure how to go about the order forms, maybe just place a load in the book its self,, no okay, maybe just a note telling the customer to give me a call if they wanted to order??? any body done this before? thank you! yasmin

    Hi Yasmin

    I didn't start doing this until I had been doing Avon for about 5 months, gave me a chance to get used to what I was doing.

    I visited my local Dr's Surgery but it is the Receptionists and Administrators who buy from me, not the customers.

    You could ask at your local surgery or other surgeries near you, if you can leave brochures in the waiting room for patients. What you have suggested about the flyer on each brochure is a good idea, and then place an order form in each book. So if they allow you to leave books, maybe leave 5 to begin with. But make sure you ask the customer on the flyer to contact you directly to let you know they want to order. As you won't know who they are or where they live with to begin with.

    Ordered shimmer eyeshadow in Silver Sparks for a friend in C18, out of stock, and still out of stock for my C1 order which has arrived today. There is a letter in one of the boxes saying that they aren't getting any more.
    Is this a letter that anybody else who's had OOS items has had?
    Its still in C2 book, so should I try to re-order it?

    Silver sparks eyeshadow was offered in HT 1 (christmas party issue of HT) as part of the "sparkling eye pack", along with 4 other products for £5.50

    Perhaps this eye pack proved really popular with reps and they've run out of the eyeshadow?
