Another one here who is a little annoyed about the unexpected change in delivery dates prior to Christmas - I do a regular days work for a client on a Monday and now find that I have an Avon order turning up on Monday 20th, meaning I have to rearrange my regular day, and also meaning that the client may well, with christmas in mind, simply say skip one day that week, thus losing me a hell of a lot more than I can earn from an Avon Campaign. It's infuriating considering I was clearly tld when I signed up that my delivery day would "always" be a Tuesday, and have made my arrangements accordingly.

Could you not change the delivery address instead? Is there someone who could take it in for you?

2 (or3!) Questions for you please ladies:

If I place an extra order, how long does is take to come? And do I need to have paid for my regular order?

Then: I am now doing a Xmas Fair in less then 2 weeks time. I have other things beside Avon - hair scrunchies and the like. My question is, how much Avon would you carry as stock for it, and what sort of things? I have seen £1 basket etc mentioned but what sort of items do you put in it?

I will have my fliers in time for it too, I'm excited about those!

I have found a link for 25% off everything at Vistaprint too if anyone wants to try it? it's the website name in the address bar then after uk add on /invite25

HTH :A

Aureol - sorry your party was a bit of a 'mare. You did get two new customers, but I appreciate that you're probably sitting there thinking you wasted a lot of energy (and nervous energy!) sorting it all out.

Sorry x

no we have agreed to buy me a £2 coca cola ring.

There must be something going around, I haven't been able to find mine for weeks now. Very annoying. Haven't been wearing it all the time because the baby kept scratching himself on the stones set in it

Grrrrrrr - how long has "view subtotal" not been working on the bloomin' website? Just says "Pricing detail is currently not available".

Need to check everything off and make sure I've got everything at the right price!!

Will try again in a bit. Grr. Grrrrrr.

Got a rare email from our ASM geeing everyone up for Christmas. Finally discovered I'm on mailplan A. Always wondered but nowhere on sign up paperwork.

Missminx - additional orders cost £2.50 postage and have no discount unless you reach mov or hov.
£1 basket would have anything you can sell for £1 and not make a loss on. Such as shower gels bought at 75p and multi priced deals.

Yippee - subtotal is available again now!!

Evening ladies... it appears the subtotal is not working again! Doh!
Is anyone else having this problem or is it just moi?

False alarm, I've logged out and in again and its working - hoorah!

Yes I have to admit I always forget when telling reps their order & delivery dates, I usually say itll be this day for that and this day for that, I *usually* manage to remember to say it will be different for a couple of campaigns but not always - its only 2 campaigns out of 18 so not too bad. If you aren't in for your delivery, and you haven't got a "safe" location (can be a shed, neighbour etc) then you can get it delivered to an alternative address - my MIL always gets hers delivered to my address as the driver can't access her shed, whereas if we aren't in he can leave it in our shed with no problem.

Sadly no "safe" location for it to be left, and our neighbours are elderly so I can't ask for it to be left with them. At least it looks like I only have the one date that will be a problem anyway so not the end of the world I guess. Hopefully my client will be fine about me doing Tuesday/Wednesday or even Tues./Thurs that week. Thanks to everyone for all your suggestions though.

Got one more delivery to do later on this evening, and then one tomorrow, then all the orders I can deliver immediately are done. I have one that I need to set aside until the beginning of next month as my Customer is on her hols (lucky thing!) and one for my SIL who I won't see until next month either.
