It may vary somewhere else, but in South Africa, the commission structure you will earn ranges from 15-30%. The table below will be of great guide.
How Long Does It take For AVON Orders to Arrive?
Typically, any order you place with AVON before 10 am will be delivered within 5 working days. This is for the standard delivery and it will cost R68.
However, for express delivery, it will cost you R105 and it will be delivered within 2 working days.
How much does it cost to join Avon In South Africa?
This is a very good and important question.
Joining AVON is free but there is a catch which I am going to explain. Indirectly, the registration fee is R85 and this is how it works. For example, if you place an order for R600, it means you are actually paying R510, R85 for the registration fee which is once ( i.e. once off) will be deducted along 15% deduction).
So any amount you pay for your first order contains the registration fee automatically.
Secondly, to maintain an active account, as a representative, you need to be placing order of at least R595 to continue getting your commissions and maintain your account.
How do I get paid from Avon?
AVON pays you directly into your bank account, there is no third party involved.

The minimum order for AVON is R595; with this order, you are guaranteed of making at least R97 commission.
