| Hi there When my twin daughters were first born (1998) I did Avon for about 2 years as the commision meant my wife could use that to buy her makeup etc.... I lost a few catalogues but accepted that this is the price you have to pay, however if the house said no door to door sales peeps then I never left a catalogue as to me it suggested that this person probably didn't want unexpected callers. Also when it came to collecting the catalogues which had not been left out I would call between 6 and 7 in the evening as this is when most peeps would be in and I could also find out if they were interested or not. I worked and still do night shifts and this also meant that I would not wake them up as I know what it is like to be so. I think that the organisers need to take more responsibility in educating some of their distributers on what to do other than 'shove thousands of catalogues through endless doors' I really enjoyed my time doing this and met some very interesting people and am happy to say I only got called a name once but I think my using my instinct on which houses to post through may have something to do with that. Regards Stuart

| Hello Stuart It's nice to see there are some responsible catalogue agents out there. I am glad it worked out for you. Thanks for adding your comments to this thread.

Aaarrghhh.... they are back  I have just had my front door replaced and forgot to transfer the ‘Polite Notice’ over. The Kleenze agent didn’t take long to spot this and moved in with their new weapon - the Kleenze Catalogue version 2.0 (the plastic bag now has even more unsolicited rubbish in it ) Fortunately I also have a large skip on my drive

My wife was ticked off by the Bettaware man who accused her of losing his catalogue. It had a 'put out' date that was facing into the packet - somewhere that we never look at!

| M, your bettaware agent should know better than to leave things around that can easily be mistaken for rubbish. The last bettaware catalogue delivered to my place stayed outside the front door for over a week before being relocated to my dustbin.No one ever knocked on the door to complain or ask for it back. Maybe they got bored with the idea......everybody else is!

| I do not mind having these brouchers put through my door , my wife usually flicks through it , most often we do not buy anything , if we do not want anything from the broucher we put it outside - it does not take any longer than putting it in the bin - and beside although i agree , these people often do not last long or make a fortune , they are trying , these people are local people trying to make a living , we should not discourage effort , even if we do not think that it is suitable for us . And what ever you are trying to sell you have to let your prospective customers know about your goods , and this form of selling is not inconvienent , just put the broucher outside and forget about it , these people wont knock on your door and you can rest easy knowing you havnt upset someone who is trying to start thier own buissiness , ( i know that they have to pay, from thier own money - the kleenezze broucher) Tony

Hello It's Your Menu I like your website but I disagree with you about Kleeneze. "if we do not want anything from the broucher we put it outside - it does not take any longer than putting it in the bin" I agree but when I did leave it outside they rarely picked it up when they said they would. Why should I have unsightly mess on my doorstep for days on end? Also by putting it in the bin they soon get the message that you don't want their catalogues. I have asked politely countless times but unfortunately they usually don't get the message. "they are trying , these people are local people trying to make a living , we should not discourage effort" I agree in principle and have nothing against (most of) these individuals but unfortunately many of them are getting exploited by those higher up the pyramid chain who make unrealistic claims about the earning potential of Kleenze, not to mention the effort and hours required. "this form of selling is not inconvenient " IT IS WHEN YOU WORK NIGHTS AND THEY BANG ON YOUR DOOR DEMANDING THE CATALOGUES BACK (normally on a different day to their supposed 'collection' day) - That was the whole point of me starting this thread. "you can rest easy knowing you haven't upset someone who is trying to start their own business " Sorry but you sound far to nice. Would you buy something of a spammer just so you don't upset him? ( I know that they have to pay, from their own money - the Kleeneze broucher) Yes I know too (see my comment about exploitation). This is also why throwing it in the bin is the only way to ensure they don't come back - at least until they realise they are not going to make any money out of Kleeneze, give up, and the next agent comes along - usually only a few week later when I go back to step one (throw it in the bin).
