Hi hun.. my friend's neighbour did this. People screwed her sometimes by ordering then not paying, etc.. so make sure they pay you upfront I'd say if you can!

hey hun i do avon, and to be honest iv got like 4 streets to go around and only 4 people have it being 3 neighbours and my mum, as for earning money from it im afraid you dont get much so i wouldn't suggest doing it for a sole income, i had an order that totalled to nearly £70 and i earnt about £15 which my order was more than that, but i still do it as you say its something to do and has good bargains

on the down side my avon gets left outside at 6:30 am and they dont knock and they just sent me half of my order with another half i didn't even order totally to £85 so none of my customers have their stuff xx

I did it but only for 2 months, if you're not fussed about the money then I'd say go for it.
I gave it up because I was having problems getting payments (even though I never gave the items without it) and it was, to me a bigger hassle having to get things sorted than what the return was.
