Avon Products Complaint - Avon Has No Customer Service - Non-existent Customer Service

Non-existent Customer Service - Complaint
Review by MBN on 2008-05-30
When returning products ordered online, you are instructed to send an email to dearavon at avon.com. This email address is a farce -- a reply is never received. Not even its CEO, Andrea Jung, replies to emails.

I finally mailed the product back. After 15+ years of being an Avon customer, their lack of concern for customers has prompted me to stop using its products.

Perhaps Avon needs to return to its roots? When their overpriced (IMHO) stuff was hawked by the neighbor ladies, purchasers knew whose doorbell to ring when there was a quality issue. (I remember 'Blue Blazer' cologne for boys...think roadkill with a urinal cake in its mouth.)

You really should get an Avon lady. Yes....they are still around and speaking from personal experience, my Avon lady goes the extra mile for me. I get my order correctly in a timely manner all the time. She helps me find the products I need and even gives me freebies and samples all the time. Finding a rep is easy here: http://shop.avon.com/shop/find_a_rep.asp

I hope this helps.

In response to AlleyS they should refund your money if you have a complaint. You don't even understand the insane mark-up Avon applies to it's products. Avon should refund the money to the loyal customers based on there word. We are pushed to do whatever it takes to make our customers happy, why shouldn't it apply to the company that is pushing it on there represenatives. You want to see poor practices, become a rep.

In response to Sharihh...You need to send the product back for a refund.
Their customer's "word" yea right, that meant something years ago.

to jktshff1, I stated to the LOYAL customers. the one's who have been customers of Avon's for a long time with a good track record... LOYAL. missed the key word there.

Maybe the Avon Rep (who knows and trusts their loyal customer) could reimburse them out of their pocket, and have Avon reimburse them when they return it, but I just can't see any retail company refunding anything without getting the product back first.
Loyal folks will stab ya in the back also.

Just like how Avon was a trusted company once upon a time. It goes both ways, Avon has lost its way and will lose customers based upon how they treat them.
