I would order a couple that look the closest in colour and return the one she doesn't want.

they should have sent you a number to register online with, this is for your self assessment.

Did you receive it? They will also send you notification when your self asessment is due, and NI contributions.

just had a look at all my paperwork for Avon as I keep it all together and I have nothing from them, think i will need to call them. Thank you

Got two more orders today both from new customers.... Was excited till I realised that one has ordered the digital scales which can't be ordered till next campaign ..... i think this is a really silly promotion. Grrrrrr. (sorry, just felt the need to share that lol!)

Happy new year everyone!! I nearly lost you all there in the last thread but i hunted you down!!

WELL, firstly, what an eventful holiday. i use the word 'holiday' loosely as i have spent most of it in hospital (for everyone but me). Firstly, MIL came to ours on xmas day, everything was fine, then she started to have a panic attack which then developed into an asthma attack. called ambulance and they kept her in hospital for a few days. OH and myself had colds over xmas, mine went away just after boxing day but he gradually got worse. NYE went to pick MIL up from hospital, waited 3 hours for them to get her medication, then on the way home had a call from OH - he was coming home early from work as he felt really bad. He spent next few days in bed with flu, s&d, etc. Got worried on BH mon when after 3 days of not eating or sleeping he was struggling to breathe so took him up to a&e - he has swine flu and severe chest infection. Had to take him up to a&e last two morns so they could keep check on him, and thankfully he is now starting to clear up. he had cereal this morn which was his first solid food since NYE.

as for avon - well luckily i decided to skip c2 which is just as well cos ive been too preccupied to even think about it. i am intending on taking out c2&3 books to good customers and c2 to rest. may do this this evening but probably wont get the chance. a bit annoyed as i made a small order for c2 from HT including the new Samsonite wash bag which already is oos. good old avon.

hope everyone else is in good health.x

Hello everyone.
Well I had my sign up appointment today, my SL was lovely:T. She left me 40 C5 brochures (app a trendsetter? can anyone enlighten me to pro's n con's plz) and 3 pks of order forms for my first campaign and is emailing me later with an area for canvasing. I am feeling quite nervous and apprehensive about putting the brochures out before I have been passed through credit check, is leaving you all the kit a little presumptious that you'll pass? I just keep thinking of the _pale_ explaining to people that I didn't "pass" and they won't be getting their order.

Hmmm, not sure what to do :think: Any advice would be great, thank you xx

A trendsetter is 2 camps ahead of everyone else. It depends on what area you live in you don't have a choice, in theory it helps Avon to predict stock levels.

For the credit check - basically unless you've done Avon before and left owing money, then you'll be accepted. Just ask what your credit limit is when you get your account number. I've had people accepted who have ccjs, mil was accepted even though she can't even get a switch bank card so don't worry!

Well, I have eventually got in touch with my ASM, who has given me a new street to try.:) Bit disappointed that the streets I wanted to do were taken, especially my own street, I have never received a brochure and have been here 6 years!!:( Have just delivered 35 brochures tried knocking and introducing myself, had quite a positive response although some people can be very rude, a polite no thank you is all you need. I tried knocking on one door, no answer so pushed the brochure through, moved onto the next door and the previous door threw their brochure onto the lawn and slammed their door, how charming!! How long do people normally leave before collecting, usually only deliver to F&F and never reuse brochures. Have put Fri pm for the ones I have just left to see if I can get any orders for Camp 2, is this long enough??

Is it just a coincidence that the only time you get a rep satisfaction survey from Avon is when:

No items were missing (well at least none were charged for and missing from box)
Any OOS items were "last chance" or "while stocks last" anyway
Any items OOS from previous campaigns suddenly turn up all at once
Your delivery boxes were in perfect condition with no leakages
All credits were applied with no dodgy recharges

I was so disappointed with the questions asked that I was tempted to lie - but I thought they'd notice that I hadn't requested any immediate replacements ...... (or am I expecting too much?!!)
