    There are no charges for leaving, assuming your account balance is clear. Just stop ordering and you get removed after 3 campaigns inactive (extended to 4 during the condensed campaigns). I'd expect Avon and/or your ASM to contact you if you miss a campaign or two and are in PC though, to try to prevent you going.

    But I would still receive the books over those three or four camps and get charged for them, and no opportunity to send returns via the courier?

    You only get sent a single book, if you place an order but don't order brochures. If you don't order anything, you wont get sent a single book.

    For the Xmas hamper idea - the planet spa stuff is great, and you could get a shower scrub, a cOmplete footworks set, perfume/body sprays, jewellery / handbag depending what she likes. I love the candle idea too.

    For the hamper I thought this pillow from HT could be good as well.

    I had literally 1 order for £7 from my university canvassing :-( still not close to £78 and 5 days left.

    I felt really bad about the lady from the nursery and the perfumes she wanted but the order had not reached me at all - I sold her the ones I bought for myself. May now ask my b/friend to buy me another one:D
    She wanted two of them but I had only one - still better than nothing.

    MOV goes down to £52 I think, two-thirds of £78 as the campaigns are two weeks instead of three. HOV does not change as far as I know.

    This is correct. This year, campaigns 2, 3 & 4 were at this lower MOV.

    kinda of topic her but is avon related. my step dad is struggling for ideas for xmas gift for ma mum. so i said do a hamper, lots of small thoughtfull things should go down well. he then says ok make ma a £100 hamper out of avon for her.

    anyone have any suggestions what would make a good hamper. i can use books 17,18,1.

    mum hardly wears make up, so (limited there) only has shower so bath stuff out. all the clothes i seen onlu go to a 20, would need 24 so limited that way.

    was thinkin the candle set, (the orange one), a little makeup, some hand creams, will have a proper think later, if any one has anyrecomendations please let me know.

    (this will actualy be one of his more thoughtful gifts to her lol)

    ooo i would love to do this! lol. Ideas...

    The orange candles your talking about are really nice (bought these for a friend).

    Would you buy anything out of ht with it being ur mum or are you just wanting to use brochures? If you want to use ht you could get lots of things for cheaper (demos etc) - they do great demo packs 10 items for £35 etc (you could just use the ones your mum would use and keep the rest to sell on)

    Shampoo & conditioners - maybe a hair serum/lotus shield.
    New combs/hair brushes?
    Handbag - ht usually have cheap ones in the back
    Hat/scarf for winter (think theres a kimberley one in ht)
    Perume
    Earrings/bracelet (ht)
    planet spa body scrub/body butter
    skin so soft body wash
    planet spa face masks (in one of sale brochues)
    the candle set
    new pj's?
    nail polish's - ht for demo ones or buy a gift set (thinking sales brochure)
  • I'm sure this is going to be a really obvious answer, but I'm returning a fair amount following buying demos for a party and have got two boxes but the products are listed on one form. Should I put a copy in both boxes as they are bound to get separated?
    Thanks,

    Stick a barcode label on Box 1 and start filling it. Once it's full look at the returns form and cross off any items not in the box, or put 0 in the "quantity in box" column.

    Then put another barcode label on Box 2 and put everything else in that. Print out another returns form and cross off any items not in box 2.

    Never had to do this myself, but the returns are unpacked by humans so I can't see how the above method could confuse them too much.

    If you haven't put the returns through online yet, fill 1 box then put those through as credits. Confirm the order. Then fill another box and put those through as a separate credit order.
    I used to have my Avon turnover (sales) here. They've been removed because it's not appropriate to talk about those kinds of sales as if they're realistic for a new Rep to aim for. :( I signed up at the right time, right place, and was very lucky.
  • Last night I went to deliver my final lot of brochures before order on Tuesday.
    I delivered 55 books and will pick them up Monday.
    So far I'm at £168.00 and hopefully a few f&f orders still to come.
    Love doing this, it's great . Xx
    How is everyone else doing? When do u order next and which book r u on? I'm on c17. But some on back order c16 . Have 150 houses on my rounds and f&f x
