First of all I’m pretty sure that Amway has some rule saying you can’t flog your Amway shit online.
That said a lot of former IBO’s got to get rid of that overpriced shit somehow and I’ve seen it sold on eBay and I’m sure IBO’s are hitting Craigslist too.
But Amazon? I know its hard for me to grasp the concept that Amazon sells things but books. Here its important to note that Amazon the company is not selling Amway products but its individual sellers who have accounts with Amazon. But still I thought people with Amazon accounts were selling their used books not household items.
OK so maybe some former IBO’s are trying to flog their inventory. If they’re not active IBO’s they wouldn’t give a shit about breaking Amway’s rules. The problem with selling vitamins and energy drinks is that they all have expiry dates. Who’s to know that date hasn’t come and gone?
Amway shipped us expired protein shakes once. And then refused to refund our money when we complained about it. I ended up chucking them in the garbage.
I’m not so certain that these are inactive IBO’s flogging Amway shit on Amazon. I think active IBO's are loading up on inventory (another violation) to get their PV up there and then selling it on Amazon so they can cover their financial losses. Someone named Totalbeautyzone is currently selling 188 items - most appear to be Amway products. I don’t know. That seems a little excessive stock for an IBO quitting the business. I have to go with professional liar theory on this seller.
I decided to do some comparing. Totalbeautyzone is flogging XS Energy Drinks on Amazon. Cranberry Grape Blast in particular for $38.88. He/she has 4 in stock. Amway’s price is $26.88.
This makes a lot of sense. If someone was really craving the piss water they could buy it from Amway or find an IBO rather than spending an extra $12 to buy it from Totalbeautyzone. Like we need any further proof that IBO’s are out to rip us off!
Then Totalbeautyzone is offering a better deal on the Tropical Blast flavor - $36.88. I checked Amway. $26.88. Only ripping off customers by $10 on that flavor and he/she has 2 cases left in stock.
Now what’s up with the Naranja Blast? Totalbeautyzone has a price tag of $42.88 and 2 in stock. What does Amway say about this flavor? $38.88. Holy fuck I thought all those nasty piss waters had the same price. Rip off! Rip off! Amway sticks a foreign word on the can so it can slap a higher price tag on it? Come on! We all took Spanish in high school. Naranja = orange. Save money and buy the Citrus Blast for $26.88. So one could say Totalbeautyzone is giving a slightly better deal by only ripping off customers by $4 over Amway's price.
I know Amazon charges a commission for items sold through their store so I imagine Totalbeautyzone has tacked on the cost of doing business with Amazon to the prices.
I don’t know why Amazon doesn’t ban Amway products from their website other than it doesn’t cost them anything to let people have a marketplace storefront. Amazon is earning money off Amway.
Interesting when at every board plan meeting Amazon is mentioned as a comparison to Amway - except of course Amazon sucks when compared to Amway - at least in the brainwashed minds of the speakers.
classy
ReplyDeleteYup pretty much my sentiments too when I discovered this shit being flogged on Amazon - in a you've gotta be fucking kidding me way!
DeleteI happened to come across your blog post from search engine results, but after reading your salty language, you have lost any credibility you might have itherwise earned. Best wishes, but goodbye forever!
ReplyDeleteThen its a good thing I'm not selling any products or services where credibility would be a factor! I'm here to tell what its really like inside the Amway cult and what a bunch of fucking assholes my upline are. I don't need no Amway prudes hanging around here. Don't like the language? Find material more suitable to the under 12 years old crowd then and stay off grown up sites.
DeleteAnonymous: "Oh! Oh! Dearie me, such salty language! I'm getting the vapors! I think I'll let those nice, smiling Amway people pick my pocket clean instead, because they aren't potty-mouthed ruffians who offend my delicate ears with profanity. Oh! Someone catch me, I'm going to faint!"
DeleteOh brother, what a moron. So credibility is tied up with "nice" language and not the message, huh? I guess that leaves one open to getting raped by the "positive" smiling Ambots, doesn't it, who never a naughty word be spoken?
~Dave
Dave - I was on Amazon a few days ago to leave a review of a book I'd read. Someone had left a message that they'd bought 5 books off Amazon and this was another one that they didn't even get a few pages into before stopping due to the swearing. There was hardly any swearing in this novel too. Just a couple of shits and fucks nothing that you don't hear everyday. Good thing the old prude stopped reading before getting to the sex scenes! Probably an Amway prude! Gonna catch shit for not reading books on the Diamond's reading list!
DeleteAgree about the language. Grow up!
DeleteAnonymous - this blog is all about cursing out the fucking assholes in the Amway upline. It says that right at the top. Why show up at a blog that says swearing is what we're all about and bitch about it. Its like showing up at a web page devoted to cats and then bitching because there's no elephants on it. Only a dumb fuck Amway ambot would do something like that.
DeleteGood post Anna. Don't waste your wise words on anonymous trolls. ~Chris
DeleteLOL! thanks. Some Amway ambots are trolls but most of them are drive by bitchers never to be heard from again lucky for us!
Delete@Anon of May 30, 2012
ReplyDeleteThe only difference is when you talk with Amway folks or go to their meetings, you do all the swearing in your head. Same difference :p The cursing in both situation is due to Amway
Naranja Orange = 12 oz
ReplyDeleteAll other flavors = 8.4 oz
You REALLY thought Amazon only sold books....hahahahahahaa. Lost ALL credibility! Amway products are great.
ReplyDeleteYou think Amway products are great? HA HA HA HA HA !!! Lost all credibility.
DeleteAmway-cult trolls, like trolls everywhere.
DeleteHi Chris. Yeah we've had a few Amway trolls. Some are harder to get rid of than most. I mean normal people don't hang around somewhere that everyone tells them to fuck off but Amway ambots don't seem to get it.
DeleteAnna Banana, I am an Ambot!! ;) its okay if you had a bogus upline young blood you just need to get over yourself
ReplyDeleteAnother Anonmous Ambot drops by. So embarrassing to be hooked up with Amway isn't it.
DeleteAmbots always blame someone's lack of success as being either because they didn't work hard enough or that they had a bad upline. They think just because their own lying, sneering upline have lovebombing smiles and "positive" attitudes that they are "the greatest, most supportive people in the whooooole world!" Of course all uplines are like that. It's how they brainwash and trick people to keep throwing their money into the bottomless Amway pit. It starts off with the usual ridiculous "you can be walking the beaches of the world in 2 - 5 years" tap dance into "well, yeah, I'm still on my journey to success 5 years later, but gosh, it's not about money, it's about all I've learned and the great people I've met". Of course, once those "great people" aren't making money from you anymore they disappear into the cracks and crevices of walls like the cockroaches they are.
DeleteYou said it Anonymous! When brainwashed Ambots are inside the Amway cult their upline are the most wonderful people they've ever met. Ambots can't kiss their asses enough! Once they get out of Amway they see those people for what they really are, a bunch of fucking assholes and that's we exist to make fun of them and let others who are thinking of joining Amway know what they have to put up with when they join. Buying shitty overpriced products is only a small part of it. Putting up with upline abuse is the bigger picture.
DeleteHowzit Anna Banana. Great blog here!
ReplyDeleteI was hit by Amway about 15 years ago and what a load of shit! Managed to get away relatively unscathed.
Just wondering why there are loads of people now selling Amway products on Amazon for much lower than Amway?
Do you think distributors are trying to get back some of the money they invested by flogging the shitty products?
I'm sure that is exactly the reason, Lynne. Part of Amway is they pressure their minions to "invest" in their business by buying a certain amount of inventory every single month. Of course, when one is buying inventory (and over-priced inventory at that) without any BUYERS, then it does tend to accumulate in closets and garages. When the Ambot is in the hole deep enough they have to try to sell it off and hope to get back at least a fraction of what they paid for it. Some "great business opportunity".
DeleteHey howzit Lynne! Glad you found your way here. And glad to hear you got the hell away from Scamway 15 years ago! The horror never leaves though does it.
DeleteI'm not sure if Ambots are selling products for lower prices on Amazon but they sure are on Craigslist and Ebay. Those are the places to check out if you actually like an Amway product and want to get it cheap if you can find an Ambot unloading their shit.
I'm sure Ambots are trying to recover some of their losses but they'll never break even. Mostly they have to throw that Amway shit out.
Anonymous - that's exactly what they're doing. Cleaning out the garage and trying to find a buyer who'll take the Amway shit off their hands for rock bottom prices. They should try hanging outside a dollar store! LOL!
DeleteAn interesting fact: Here in New York, at the Citifield Stadium, Amway has a small store. NO ONE HAS BOUGHT A SINGLE THING THERE. So much for the general appeal of their crappy products.
ReplyDeleteThe store also runs a series of "workshops" and "presentations" on various Amway products, as a way to show "The Plan" surreptitiously. The bulk of these presentations are in Chinese, Spanish, or Korean.
In other words, Amway can't get any more English-speaking Americans to join up. The big push now is to cash in on gullible foreigners.
The cracks are starting to show in the Amway facade.
Anonymous - that is interesting. Someone stopped by a few months ago with a link to that store at the stadium.
DeleteNot a single sale! LOL!
That's what happens when a bunch of people who are not brainwashed ambots walk in, look at the prices, and go holy fuck I am outta here!
That being said, older people who are well familiar with Amway's name and that its a cult with a reputation for selling overpriced shitty products would not walk in there in the first place. Unless they were drunk maybe. But obviously not drunk enough to buy Amway shit! LOL!
Interesting about the presentations being held in other languages. Yup Scamway has oversaturated the market on English speaking dupes.
This fact also bothers me. Cuz in Taiwan, Amway company takes goods returned from IBOs without reason as long as 1 year from purchase. Perhaps I have found a way to use this oppotunity from Amway USA.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - I don't understand why this bothers you. People who were in Amway are just trying to unload the shit they got scammed into stockpiling. Apparently Taiwan has some generous refund laws that Amway is forced to comply with. A couple of months ago we posted a Facebook conversation and the Ambot said Amway has a 2 month refund policy. And I have to ask why is that length of time needed anyway. Surely someone can figure out almost immediately whether or not they need to refund a shitty substandard product. Are people in Amway such big fucking morons they need more time to figure out something simple?
DeleteDear Anna --
DeleteThe law in Taiwan is indeed very strict about refunds for dissatisfied customers. As long as the product is not a perishable item, you have up to a year to bring it back for a refund. This law puts a real crimp in Amway's style.
Anonymous - so the big question is did Amway comply with Taiwan's law from Day 1 or did they wait to get sued before complying with the law?
DeleteAnd I bet Amway finds a loophole to claim all their products are perishable.
As you said this could put a real crimp in amway's bottom line.
