I was surprised to see Amway
products for sale on Amazon - totally discovered that by accident.
First of all I’m pretty sure that Amway has some rule saying you can’t flog
your Amway shit online cause it competes with their online sales.
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 was selling 188 items when I
checked it out - 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. Also the prices quoted are from when
this article first appeared on the blog.
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. NOT! If someone was really craving the cat piss
beverage 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.
Hi Anna! I have just found you blog. I would love to get in touch with you! I have a close friend deep into Amway/ world wide dream builders and I would like to chat with someone who has dealt with a similar experience. If you don't mind.
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie. If someone wants to share their story they can just leave a comment on this blog. If they don't want the comment published but want it to be in another post with details changed, one of the bananas can do that. And here's the thing with people getting involved with Amway. Everyone has pretty much similar experiences just some minor details are different. Everyone hears the same bullshit Amspeak and lies from the Amway cult leaders and everyone is abused by the fucking assholes in the Amway upline, You can read people's experiences with Amway from the 70s and they're not much different than today. The only things that change in Amway are the liars get better and the prices go up.
DeleteThe whole thing about Amway products is this -- whether you're the Amway Corporation, or whether you're the up-line, or whether you're the lowly IBO at the bottom, you have only one purpose: TO GET RID OF THE SHIT!
ReplyDeleteHow do you do that? There are several ways:
1) You get it from your up-line and then sell it to non-Amway retail customers. (Your chance? Slim or none.)
2) You self-consume the products. (Your chance? Fine -- unless you get sick of the stuff, and in any case you're not making a profit.)
3) You try to sell the stuff on-line at Amazon or eBay or elsewhere. (Your chance? Highly unlikely, since customers can always get the stuff at a lower price from some Amway IBO.)
4) You can ask your up-line to take the stuff back, and send you a refund. (Your chance? None at all.)
5) You can give the stuff away for free to anybody who's willing to take it (Your chance? Fine, since most people will try something if it's free, and then they have the job of disposing of it.)
6) You can use all of the foodstuff material as fertilizer in your garden, by just plowing it into the topsoil. (Your chance? Excellent, since you will actually be getting something from these Amway products.)
7) Last but not least, you can simply deposit all of this Amway crap in a garbage dump, and let the Sanitation Department deal with it. (Your chance? Excellent, but don't make the mistake of buying any more of the crap.)
Anonymous - that is an excellent breakdown on how to get rid of Amway shit!
DeleteNumber 1,3,4,5 are what Ambots hope to do but is unlikely. Even at free, people who are not brainwashed Amway losers don't want the shit!
Number 6? Most Ambots cant afford a house and the garden that goes along with it.
Number 7 is the most likely scenario with what happens to shitty Amway products. They get tossed in the trash. Amway is not environmentally friendly at all!
