Amway’s Outrageous Shipping Costs


When Ambot signed up as an IBO the first three months the products he purchased were delivered for free. After that shipping was billed.

Outside customers who are not IBO’s get free shipping if they’ve purchased a minimum amount. I don’t recall the amount but I think it was $75. I’m sure if I have the number wrong someone will comment. I only vaguely recall there was a minimum amount because a friend of ours who took pity on Ambot decided to buy laundry soap. When it came to check out she cancelled the order. I guess there must have been a report somewhere that Ambot saw he a lost sale so he phoned her to ask why and she said the shipping fee was too much because she hadn’t met the minimum amount to get it shipped for free. Since this post first appeared, someone left a comment that the minimum amount with Amway is much higher to get free shipping, $500 or more. I don’t know for sure. Not defending Scamway’s shipping costs by any means but some companies out there always charge for shipping no matter how much stuff you buy. But Amway is the topic here and how they nickel and dime the Ambots.

That laundry soap was pretty expensive around $40. Not wanting to lose a sale Ambot offered to buy it and put it on his next order (that he paid the shipping fees on) and our friend agreed. She didn’t buy it ever again though stating it was too expensive.

And she was right. You can buy good well known name brands environmentally friendly concentrated laundry soap at Wal-Mart for $10. Since Ambot left Amway and I can buy laundry soap of my choosing our clothes come out a lot cleaner than with the Amway SA8 or whatever their laundry soap was called.

Seeing as how Amway uses Amazon on its board plan presentation as a comparison for Internet shopping, I’ll use it as a comparison for shipping.

Buy minimum $25 from Amazon and get free shipping.

Gee, that comes well under Amway’s minimum threshold. Its not hard to buy 2 or 3 books that you want to read and hit the $25.

On the other hand its just as easy to reach $25 in Amway products to purchase. But you have to keep shopping and buy 3 times that amount if you want to take advantage of the free shipping.

So Amway, thanks for comparing yourself to Amazon. I’ll shop there any day over your company.

    The last time I made a pity purchase from Amway the free shipping minimum was $750! That was about five years ago so things could have changed.

      Seeing as how Amway has a huge profit margin on their overpriced shit you’d think they could just work in shipping costs. When you’re the Cult of Greed it’s all about scamming money. I’m not sure what the mark up is on Amway shipping and handling but you can bet it’s sky high!

      Anonymous - that's not what Amway liars tell you! Ambots claim everything Amway makes is organic and natural products. Those fucking Amway losers should try reading the ingredient label. Not that they'd understand it LOL!

Comments are moderated but we publish just about everything. Even brainwashed ambots who show up here to accuse us of not trying hard enough and that we are lazy, quitters, negative, unchristian dreamstealers. Like we haven’t heard that Amspeak abuse from the assholes in our upline!

If your comment didn’t get published it could be one of these reasons:
1. Is it the weekend? We don’t moderate comments on weekends. Maybe not every day during the week either. Patience.
2. Racist/bigoted comments? Take that shit somewhere else.
3. Naming names? Public figures like politicians and actors and people known in Amway are probably OK – the owners, Diamonds with CDs or who speak at functions, people in Amway’s publicity department who write press releases and blogs. Its humiliating for people to admit their association with Amway so respect their privacy if they’re not out there telling everyone about the love of their life.
4. Gossip that serves no purpose. There are other places to dish about what Diamonds are having affairs or guessing why they’re getting divorced. If you absolutely must share that here – don’t name names. I get too many nosy ambots searching for this. Lets not help them find this shit.
5. Posting something creepy anonymously and we can’t track your location because you’re on a mobile device or using hide my ass or some other proxy. I attracted an obsessed fan and one of my blog administrators attracted a cyberstalker. Lets keep it safe for everyone. Anonymous is OK. Creepy anonymous and hiding – go fuck yourselves!
6. Posting something that serves no purpose other than to cause fighting.
7. Posting bullshit Amway propaganda. We might publish that comment to make fun of you. Otherwise take your agenda somewhere else. Not interested.
8. Notice how this blog is written in English? That's our language so keep your comments in English too. If you leave a comment written in another language then we either have to use Google translate to put it into English so everyone can understand what you wrote or we can hit the Delete button. Guess which one is easier for us to do?
9. We suspect you're a troublemaking Amway asshole.
10. Your comment got caught in the spam filter. Gets checked occasionally. We’ll get to you eventually and approve it as long as it really isn’t spam.
