If you can't accept that you wasted your time (unsuccessful?) for a Multi Level Marketing (MLM) business and were sitting at the end of the chain (?) and don't have the knowledge to see in what business you are, and not being able to judge about the products, and can't see that they are too expensive (they have to be, because every level will get a percentage of profit) in comparison to other brands, hen I can't help you. Open your eyes and listen. Sometimes it will help. Anyway have a wonderful Chakri Day. Amway (short for "American Way") is an American company specializing in the use of multi-level marketing to sell health, beauty, and home care products. The company was founded in 1959 by Jay Van Andel and Richard DeVos and is based in Ada, Michigan. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesSwann Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Presumably the membership fee for aisle shopping is to encourage people to buy from the agents as Amway relies on the agents, and the agents need the sales to keep them at it. Usually get their L.O.C. Multi-purpose Cleaner through an agent - that stuff is worth seeking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ombra Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 My wife has been using Amway products for more than twenty years. The water filters have been a good investment and the cleaning products are excellent. They may seem expensive, but they are all concentrated and so they last for a very long time. The missus also swears by the cosmetics. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 If it were COSTCO I would gladly pay a membership fee. Amway, not so prepared to buy in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I wrote about the price is the same for ALL distributors and same price for ALL customers so I can't see how you call that pyramid selling. Scamway is the original Pyramid Scheme in the USA. the Devos family made billions off their scam of idiots dreams of "owning their own business" as it is with any pyramid scheme only the base makes any money. many end up with their garages full of crap they will never use. http://www.moneyaftergraduation.com/2013/09/16/amway-is-a-pyramid-scheme/ https://www.quora.com/Is-Amway-a-scam 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COSTCO is an ethical company that believes in taking care of its employees. Scamway just a get rich quick scheme, many so called "distributors" need welfare to survive in the USA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong, you been drinking the AMWAY kool aid too long: The main characteristic of a pyramid scheme is that participants only make money by recruiting more members. There are many different kinds of pyramid schemes, but the two most basic are product-based and so-called naked pyramid schemes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickudon Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 My ex-wife many years ago was talked into becoming an AMway distributor. Did attend one overpriced motivational seminar and got a starter pack of products. It was obvious that selling them would be hard and would mainly depend on getting friends and family to take a couple of things out of sympathy. Where possible, i found comparable products in UK supermarkets (looking at the contents labels) and showed to my wife what the comparable prices were. The only way you could get rich was by signing up lots of suckers to try and sell the products for you. I reckon most 'distributors' i met made well under 10 GBP a week (if anything) for about 10 hours or more of work. The ex-wife's plan never went any further, she could make more in an hour as a bank nurse. My Thai wife runs a small shop which is successful, to busy to try these 'marketing' ideas, thank goodness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle95 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Strictly speaking pyramid selling is the practice of selling positions in a chain of people, not product. It is illegal in many countries. Amway’s model is not pyramid selling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were a pyramid scheme it would have been long gone in those countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airalee Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I knew two people in my life who signed on with Amway. Their incessant badgering to try to get me (and many others) to join under them quickly made them persona non grata at most social events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with being a "believer", used to one myself, It got too complicated so I turned to religion instead!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
