    I sent an email asking how they could send 2 lots, and she told me that they hadn't shipped them!

    This reply from Avon just about sums it up.:mad: It looks like the only truthful one from 'our Angela' from the variety of assorted replies that we all have received from her.

    (Does she work alone or all the customer service staff called Angela for convenience? I think she deserves the MBE for replying to all these emails.) If you are a member of this board - Hi Angela :o:o I am still waiting for my orders.

    Maybe we should all just boycot Avon after this, they would certainly lose a lot of customers. I have ordered in the past, but I am having my doubts about them now.

    Mine not turned up yet either, so have emailed Angela. So far we've had the following reasons for late delivery:

    Due to a technical error

    Due to a system error

    parcels got damaged

    we have requested for the order to be duplicated

    the missing items have been re-ordered

    we have been unable to track your order

    Please allow until the end of this week to receive delivery of your order. (31/12)

    order is stuck in the order back log queue due to Christmas.

    Due to a technical issue

    no record of any order placed by me.

    Due to the high volume of orders over the festive period, processing and shipping ceased on 21/12/07.

    Wonder which one I'll get as a reply? :rotfl:

  • I placed 2 order-I think on the 20th. I received one of them(the second) on 31st. It was for £10.80 The other order has not arrived yet. That was a double order of the 5 for £5-a totla of £1.80/
    I feel that they are prioritising the people who ordered other items as well as this glitched offer of theirs.
    I cannot see how they can ask for any more money-it is a contract and they have been paid the agreed price. My invoice was set out same as others on here. I think the other price just reflects the "normal" price-just like you often get on a till receipt.

    Hmmm!!

    Just received one of my orders!

    Trouble is on invoice/receipt it says

    Total price of products 20.82
    Less Discount 0.30
    shipping 0.00
    Grand Total 20.52

    Payment Received
    Visa 2.70
    Total payment received 2.70


    Should I be worrying about this?
    Are they going to take anymore off my card?

    Thanks

    Julie

    i had an identical invoice.

    I ignored it, but put it on the pin board. I would kick up a fuss with Trading Standards if they try to take any more off my card...


    As a side note, Mr SSJC normally rolls his eyes and complains when lots of my bargains turn up, this time he goes 'why didn't you buy more?' :rotfl:
