Thanks for the feedback lozza on that 'primer' product I will let the lady know and order her one - yeah!

Good luck with your party tonight lolly, fingers crossed it goes well for you.

Its really popular with my customers (which is why I gave it a go and it really does help to smooth fine lines out and reduce shine), as is the new magix tinted one, though I've yet to try that one, will wait till I can get it cheap

Good luck lolly! Be sure to let us all know how it goes

This is really weird, but just went to collect the left over books that i couldnt collect on weds and as i approached some apartments which i had not left any books with, i found one of my books with my note on it with no. 50's written on it to say they dont want a book. The book was a C7 book which i must have posted in a street down over the hill last campaign!!!! So someone took the trouble stealing the book from someones door to drop it in someone else postbox!!!!! Shame they didnt order!

Well - thought I'd share this on here as only just found out - we need to watch how much we return, in terms of if you order a LOT for doing parties / fayres etc, and then have to return too much in one go, avon can investigate, and it can in some cases result in closing your account! As technically we are only meant to order to demand and not carry much stock - seems stupid if you ask me, especially when they promote parties in HT - but wanted to warn everyone! I think itll only flag up if you return hundreds of pounds worth of stuff in one go, but worth limiting yourself a little to how much you order for parties etc. I'm definately going to be careful about how much I order for carbooting (though admittedly I hate returning stuff and have a conservatory full of stuff from last year that I've been using as free gifts lol) in case I have to send it back x

Why not carboot the bits in your conservatory Lozza?

Does any 'stuffers' ever put on the bottom of the package insert asking if people want to keep receiving the book?

i COULD be wrong but i think its because due to DSA rules were supposed to leave 24 hours between ordering and delivery so if you have lots of "stock" for a party (not just a few demo items) it will be seen as aquiring stock to sell "on the spot" therefore breaking DSA rules and the law as i think we need a special licence to sell "on the spot on someones doorstep" kinda thing. So really you should have NO items for sale at your parties and actually just some demo products and then take orders therfore eliminating the need to buy hundreds of pounds of stock up front to then return. I heard of one lady on the PC forum having her account investigated due to large amount of returns.. so it does happen.

Been out to collect c8 from my regulars today/yesterday think im up to about £700 but need to double check when ive inputted them... still a few to collect and my recanvassing to start tomorrow as only few days till my order goes in... (god where has this campaign gone?? its flown!) :eek::eek:

Thanks lozza and johanne - errrr.... watch this space maybe..... I returned loads of stock after the party I did and was wondering whenever the phone rang whether I'd be hearing from Avon or not. My credits have gone through and I've heard nothing yet so, so far so good. Really had no idea we weren't supposed to order stuff to sell on the night. If they chuck me out so be it.... Am Assoc PC and would be approaching full PC now if I hadn't 'recruited my OH'
