I had this happen to a dry oil body spray. It had leaked, so I cleaned it up on the outside (couldn't re-sell but was going to give to my mum for free), then unscrewed the lid to get at the rest of the leakage and it was solid inside, like snow. This was over 24 hours after coming into the house.

Mine looked like snow, so I put it on the radiator, it looks like oil now - it was frozen!!

Can't believe it - it's still 'defrosting' now, just hope the customer has a warm house or it will freeze again :rotfl:

I have ordered that, my online invoice said some samples were oos. Did you have all yours or some oos as well?
I can't look til the baby has a nap, as his help is more of a hinderence!!!

Mine said some was OOS but haven't had a look to see what they've actually sent yet, want to get orders sorted so I can deliver them tonight and so my house doesn't look like an avon factory has exploded when kids are back from school, will let you know when I look.

Invoice says I'm missing Magix cashmere foundation in medium beige and ivory and U by Ungaro.

Aureol, you are a star! It would probably be too much hassle for you though as postage etc. Can I order from HT as an extra order? Just thinking I may do that and if any new customers would like to order anything i could make it worthwhile? Has anyone received the camera? Is it any good?

yes you can do an additional order, it will cost you £2.50 but remember you have to buy the qualifying items from HT to buy it.

Will the cards still be issued if they order from the sale booklet?

What asms are supposed to do if they know someone has cherry picked and doesn't recanvass, is remove that territory from the rep, find which house numbers they do deliver to and pass that info on, means another rep can canvass without any hassle, and all potential customers get the chance to see a brochure. A lot of asms do that, but unfortunately some can't be bothered.

Yes I would have thought that would be the simple solution. She did take one road from her and allocated it to me and I had to dodge and weave around her customers. I didn't do too bad out of it, but jeez it was a lot of leg work.

It seem that this rep doesn't correspond with the ASM and is reluctant to divulge who her customers are. She seems to be a big earner though and I get the distinct impression that the ASM doesn't want to take it further with her.

Avon should implement guidelines when signing up new reps that territory is in fact AVON's. Addresses should be submitted regularly by the rep to ensure no one encroaches on it. If it isn't serviced properly Avon will lose on sales.

I ordered that too - they were all over the flipping box! I couldn't be bothered checking them all off.

Thanks Aureol will check it out and possibly seek more advice if necessary. Hope you don't mind

Just found out the school have sent mass mailings again this morning :mad:
the fund raising angle is so unfair as they are guilt tripping people as well as trying to take my livelihood.

How do you find out who your ASM is? I'd love to know who deals with my village and why they haven't re-canvassed the village in the last 4 years! Speaking to an old chap down the road whilst walking the dog and apparently there is someone doing it very regularly but I've never seen a book or heard anyone mention it until now!
Seems silly to waste a potential source of customers just because the roads belong to someone but they haven't been bothered to recanvas it for at least that long!

Afternoon all

I'm working my way through all the latest posts as my flipping laptop decided it was going to connect to the internet for the past 6 hours!

On a good note have got 2 orders from new customers! They always used to order online and then found out that I did it through friends and have ordered through me- saves them postage etc!! so there's me thinking I wasnt going to get any orders!!

They could at least put all the samples in a big. It is a nuisance. But them I'm very grumpy today which doesn't help! Everything is annoying me. I looked at teh bumper box, but now my situation has changed and I'm not prepared to fork out on anything like that. You could always send it back if you're not happy with it?
