    Quick query pls: in both C11 and C12 if you order the Colortrend eyeshadow palettes 18424 Tempting Twilight and/or 4572 Pastel Passion they come up as the other one. Anyone ordered these please yet and does it come right if you order the no. you want or do you need to order the other one?

    (Hope that makes sense)

    Cannot answer that particular question. However a similar thing happened with blusher recently & I got mega confused & so ended up ordering one of each colour & returning the one I didn't want. Maybe try doing that?

    Wednesday Winge.....

    Just looked up my invoice & have items unavailable (again) including fit flops (again).

    When I started doing Avon 6 yrs ago we always had loads of items unavailable. The first Xmas was an absolute nightmare, about one fifth of my sales were unavailable. The grovelling & apologising to my customers was so embarrasing. Since then, Avon have really improved this situation but recently the 'unavailable items' have been creeping up again. Has anyone else noticed this?

    Come on Avon!! It's enough that customers wait 3 weeks for their order let alone 6+ weeks.

    Just did my first Avon Party last night. I was really worried about it before, but it went really well. I had games and a raffle planned but didn't do any of that as it was more like a little get together, so just handed out books and order forms, then showed a few products. Every person who was there ordered and total orders came to 157 euros. Not much in the grand scheme of things but it was ten new customers who I wouldn't have got otherwise and they are already planning the next Avon Party!

  • Morning all, put my second order in last night for the princely sum of £542.87 :j I am so thrilled, although I have a feeling that next month may be a slow one as everyone will be on holidays etc. Time will tell. Hope everyone did well this campaign too. :T

    It's anyone's guess SG - C13 2008 was a nightmare and I only just reached HOV, but last year was OK.

    Fingers crossed ;)

    PS - just looked at my order (due to be submitted tomorrow) and NO red ticks.....yet :p

    Well I sent in my C11 order today. It's 19 days late, but apparently that made no difference online. It's been accepted and I've had my confirmation email.

    Did you ask for a Free Replacement or did you apply for credit and re-order the marked pair? Avon will deal with the matter differently, depending on how you organised it.

    Good news is that, if my invoice is to be believed, the flipflops ordered in C10 (including 4/5's and a few extra in both sizes - was sure they'd fly out the door @ £10 ;)) should be with my delivery on Thursday. Time will tell.

    Thanks MC, one pair was a new order in C12, one was a free replacement.

    If you get a pair in size 6/7 would you be willing to send me a pair if I pay £15 plus P&P? Just that I've already got an order in hand for a good customer!
