i actually feel sorry for avon if they have to send all these out...0

I don't feel sorry for avon, they operate so unethically it makes me sick. They recruit women, often on benefits / low income because they are desperate for money and they tell you that the earings are cash in hand (which as far as I know they are are), and then rely on the newly recruited avon reps friends family and neighbours to order cos they feel sorry for the so said avon rep. People will order stuff they don't really want or need (or could get cheaper in superdrug) to help them out. The avon rep has to pay for the catalogues, spend their time delivering, collecting orders etc and often ends up with a credit towards the next lot and not a lot more for all the hard work they have put in on avons behalf. So much for the minimum wage!
Its not just in this country either, they are working their avon magic all over the ghetto estates of america, where quite frankly, I think women have better things to spend their money on than a new eye liner in the hope it will help their next door neighbour make some money.
Anyway, my rant is over, sorry about that everyone. I have ordered their bubble bath and hope they fullfill their orders. Its about time they gave back to the community that keeps them going. I like to think of it as a good will gesture to all of use who have ordered something off the local avon lady.
PS - I was an avon lady myself once and it was really hard work, so don't think I don't have respect for all those who do it for a bit of extra cash, because I do.
I hope I haven't offended anyone, I just get angry at avons selling tactics xxx0 -

does anyone know the legal stance on this, do they by law have to send them???
im sure it'll be in the papers so if they dont honour it, it'll give them a bad name so maybe wud be in their interests. PLus if their that big a company its not gona backrupt them as they can probably get the bottles for £1 so lose £50-100k, isnt a big deal!0 -
I ordered three to give to friends, but didn't want to 'buy' too many in case it looked dodgy and spoilt things for the next person!;)
Even if we don't get these, it was an excellent find, so thank you to the OP.:)0 -

Ordered 2 too! My receipt says "Please remember all orders are still subject to credit card authorisation" so I hope they are not going to get out of it by not charging my card as I did actually make other purchases!0

If they notice and change it they do not need to honour it. If it's a genuine mistake, by law they don't need to give you it. Just need to hope their feeling generous!£2009 wins - Vodkat Cocktail kit :j
