    A late reply, but I did Avon some years ago and didnt make any money because of buying myself so many goodies, too! (So hard to resist them all!)
    I recently joined back up with them as I thought I'd give it a go since I'm just at home with bubs whereas previously I was working full time so couldnt give it the time it deserved. I got in an about 50 catalogues and a further 50 introduction flyers, went for a huge walk in my local area to drop them all off, and not one person called me! Very discouraging!
    Also, I have found Customer Service has gone very much downhill compared to what they used to be like (unless I've just been very unfortunate this time around)!
    I've now hung up my Avon hat - never to return!
    I think there are, as Sunflowa-Girlie said, other companies out there that you could do better with. (I recently spoke to a Tupperware Rep and she's doing surprisingly well and really loving it.)

    Sorry no one rang you but they wouldn't would they. People are really too busy. You should have returned in 2-3 days time to pick them up and reuse them. I put a note saying I will return (like the Home Care and Penny Miller catalogue people do) I have about 10-11 customers out of my territory by doing that but I doubt anyone would have called me with thier orders. They want you to do all the work. Even my regular customers now wouldn't ring me with an order, I have to go by or ring them myselves. I don't make any money either but then thats not why I do it.... I like all the goodies and freebies. Getting a free Heart Eu de Parfum in my next order just for ordering the last couple campaigns.
