The last time we ran the post about Amway Ambots inability to deliver on promises one of our readers had this to say about Amway shipping:
Amway has to use old-fashioned
shipping delivery because of its rule that no Amway products can be sold to the
public in a brick-and-mortar store.
Delivery by shipping is of course required if you are buying from some place
far away, or overseas. It makes no sense for ordinary household necessities
like bottled water or toilet paper or vitamin pills or toothpaste. In fact,
getting things like that through the mail is insane, when you can buy them easily
(and more cheaply) at the corner store.
I understand that Amway tries very hard to prevent private individuals from
selling Amway products that they own on the internet. These people are usually
ex-IBOs who have a shitload of Amway crap that they were never able to get rid
of, and who want to sell it at a cut-rate price on-line to anyone interested.
Since the ex-IBOs own the products, they have the right to do this. So why does
Amway fight tooth and nail to prevent it?
The answer is simple. AMWAY IS NOT ABOUT THE SALE OF PRODUCTS. Amway is about
its intricate tiered structure of up-line and down-line distributors and their
financial rewards. Anybody who just tries to sell Amway products on-line (or in
a brick-and-mortar store) threatens that structure, and so Amway has to fight
them.
If I own a bottle of Coca-Cola, I can sell it to anyone I please for whatever
price I ask. The Coca-Cola company can't stop me. I own that bottle of Coke.
For all its proclaimed bullshit about "free enterprise" and "property
rights" and "the American way," Amway is in fact deeply opposed
to the idea that its distributors have any rights at all about the Amway
products that they buy. As far as Amway is concerned, the products are just a
convenient cover for an MLM pyramid scheme, and they don't want those products
sold outside of the scheme.
Amway is threatened by the sale of Amway products out of the distributorship
system that Amway has created. This is proof that the products in themselves
are meaningless -- they exist solely to allow the distributorship system to
function.
The Amway products are truly meaningless. They could be selling bags of horse
manure, and it would make no difference at all. In a pyramid scheme, nothing
matters except the recruitment of new suckers, and convincing them to
self-consume whatever products are being pushed.

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.
