Hi there, do you give payment for an Avon order before or after?

[Lollylou22]

I've got a mate who said she was doing Avon, I ordered a few things from her but now she's demanding payment without delivering my order! When i asked her if my stuff had arrived so i could collect it she said the lady who's doing the Avon is away, I told her when she had my order to call me so i can give her the money.
I didn't hear from her for a week then she sent her boyfriend round demanding payment!! Is this right? Do you have to pay the Avon lady first befor getting your order?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
What do you mean? If somebody is selling you something and tells you to pay them first and they'll give you the item whenever..would you give them the money???? I never said i refuse to pay, I said when you give me my things i ordered i'll give you the money not before!
