    You should get an automatic re-credit.

    Thats happened to me before. I just kept checking online to see when it went on. Make sure you keep your signed returns note just incase it doesnt go back on then phone avon. Give them a couple of weeks to recredit though.

    Hi - I've just joined the forum, and was so pleased to see other Avon Reps on here (I'm a SL in area 643).

    I'm just putting the finishing touches to a forum for my team members, but I'm happy to open it up to other reps if you'd find it helpful.

    Drop me an email if you are interested and I'll let you know when it's ready!

    well i've just put my first order in. I find it very odd that there isn't anywhere on the website that tells you how much you've just ordered comes to! I ended up with 8 people ordering, 5 of those from work. But i've only dropped books off to half of my streets - didn't have time to do them all, so i'm aiming to do half on one book, half on the other to make the most out of the books i'm buying.
    Orders were about £85-90 so i'm happy-ish for this time. Then i can build on this with the rest of the streets. I missed a few interested people this time as they'd already ordered with someone else for this book. So fingers crossed for next time.

    That is because of the number and combination of offers available etc. The total order value and your commission is worked out when the order is processed, not when you place it.

    A couple of days before your delivery comes you will be able to go online and view your invoice. By then the order is despatched so Avon know if the items are in stock. It will tell you how much you need to pay avon, how much youve earnt, theres a huge list of everthing youve ordered and on the bottom it tells you which items are out of stock or delayed.

    Hi I've just signed up as an avon rep and had £350 worth of orders from brochure 9 and then just placed an £600 for this brochure. I asked my sales leader about registering for tax etc and she said I dint really need to worry about it. But I am worrying about as I already work full tim and pay tax through my employer, do i need to register as slef employed and pay tax on my avon earnings?
    Thanks for any advice anyone can give me and sorry if i've posted this in the wrong forum

    My orders aren't so great for this campaign. I'm up to just under £100 and only have another 35 houses to drop brochures to - half are new houses and half are houses that ordered last time so I don't think I'll get many orders.

    I thought of a good way to check if people are reading the brochures though in case anyone's interested. Along with the order forms I put in the centre pages of the brochures I dropped to new houses I included a sample. Sure enough, 75% of the brochures came back with both the order form and sample right where I left them. It's not fool proof I know but I thought it made for a good indication of who not to bother with!
