Amway
reviews & complaints

Pictures speak a thousand words.

The sale of the products is supposed to be the business model...
But when most of the products have a profit margin of less than 20% (please see pictures) it's hard to make a sustainable profit...

especially when most of these products can be found in the grocery store. leaving this company and it's "Approved Provider" was the most freeing thing I've ever done.

Many of my friends have been victimized by multi-level marketing (MLM) schemes, and I might have been were it not for the knowledge I’ve gained from the web site of Dr. Jon M. Taylor of Consumer Awareness Institute. I implore you to read his reports, and especially his new eBook which can be downloaded free of charge from his web site at www.mlm-thetruth.com.

The Case for and against Multi-level Marketing is a summary of research and reporting by top independent analysts. Dr. Taylor presents compelling evidence that tens of millions of MLM victims lose a total of tens of billions of dollars every year.

I believe it’s essential to get this information out to consumers, since law enforcement is essentially asleep on this issue. For example, the Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer watchdog, is yielding to the Direct Selling Association, the chief MLM lobbyist, to exempt MLM companies from having to disclose information to prospects that would help them make an informed decision about participating.

Consumer advocates, media reporters, and law enforcement agencies have long wrestled with questions about the legitimacy of network or multi-level marketing (MLM). Common questions include: Does anyone actually profit from these schemes, and if so, whom? Are MLM companies (MLMs) legal, or are they skirting the law in most cases? Are MLM products – often “pills, potions, and lotions” – overpriced and merely a front for investing in a disguised pyramid scheme? And are some MLMs more legitimate than others?

Fortunately, the misinformation promoted aggressively by the DSA and the MLM industry is being counteracted by consumer advocates who have founded non-profit organizations to do independent research and to provide guidance to assist consumers in making informed decisions about MLM participation. A leading consumer advocate in this field is Dr. Jon Taylor, whose research is based on analyses of over 350 MLMs and 15 years of worldwide feedback to his Consumer Awareness Institute. Dr. Taylor has just completed a new e-book summarizing thousands of pages of research and reporting by independent analysts and research firms. The book The Case for and against Multi-level Marketing – and numerous reports to guide consumers, attorneys, and educators can be downloaded free of charge from his web site www.mlm-thetruth.com

I have been reading a lot of the Amway/Quixtar complaints on this board and every single IBO response sounds exactly the same! It's like they have all been trained to have every response ready VERBATIM. Not one person has missed a beat. The scam is so obvious that the questions are too, so I guess it's best to have a response ready.

I had a friend who contacted me, we went to dinner and I'm telling you, I thought she and I were building a friendship for life! She and our other very good friend were going to help me move, wanted to spend time with my kids, get to know my husband etc. etc. Turns out that was a lie. It was just to get me to come to these meetings. Her first question? Could I use some extra money/like an opportunity to make money etc. I knew I couldn't say no, because everybody does. But the second I heard that question: RED flag. It's the first lead in to the "wonderful world" of Amway. Even stranger...nobody would tell me what the name of the business was. NOBODY. I went to a meeting where I was greeted with smiles and best friend forever hugs, but nobody would say what the heck we were supposed to be selling or doing? Just the same rhetoric of dreams and hopes and teamwork etc. Not that these are bad things, but they encouraged all of these young college students that an education is not needed. Don't go learn from professors now how to make a little when you can use all your time to make a lot. Everyone who is successful dropped out of college...great lesson.

It's like the only thing they actually have to offer is motivational crap about change your life, be a star, you are special. It was really creepy. CREEPY! They were all wide-eyed with anticipation, and definitely acting the "fake it til you make it" because they have made nothing, but they sure do feel fulfilled and special. Nobody would answer my questions and they all started bowing down to this person who was in their "upline" or what not. They just kept referring me to some online video or telling me to talk to this person or that person. "Oh, I can't explain it like they can!" or some version of this line was the only response I ever got.

I attended a business meeting and a group meeting, I even ordered an expensive piece of ### jewelry to support her, however I politely declined, fully expecting our "strong" friendship would remain in tact. I was wrong. Every person abandoned me. They are too tunneled into some hopeful success in dropping out of college and doing something that they don't understand and can't talk about. They are losing friends, family and everyone around them who is not a part of this bizarre world. I didn't say anything negative, I just thought they would figure out soon enough and we could carry on. But they are too far gone to notice anything in the real world anymore.

My husband mentioned something about "Scamway" on facebook which resulted in one IBO (my friends' boyfriend) messaging him repeatedly trying to convince him of this and that. Some college drop out (or at drop out to be) telling an extremely talented, well educated, business-minded 10-year-his-senior grown man what's what. Freaks! The second you say anything about it they don't agree with, they freak out. I mean, literally swarm all over you talking about being number one, going on a cruise, living the dream and other metaphors that make no sense. NOBODY CARES about your fake success! And trust me, the last person on earth who you could ever trick into thinking this was ever a legitimate organization or business structure is my husband.

This organization and it's participants are the EPITOME of CREEPINESS. No wonder the FTC won't support this operation, they have been investigated numerous times, sued, settled, bankrupted and started all over again with a brand new face on the same old bull ### for the tiniest handful of freaks "earning" anything by ###ting their way over others. If you want to work for yourself, find a real business with a real plan, or try to come up with something for yourself. What the people in this business do to their people and the people around them is wrong.

P.S. I'm sure, without a doubt, I can predict every word some nutty IBO will say in response to what I have here...CREEPY!

My friend was selling Amway so I went to the little presentation. There was another rep there that gave me a small sample of make-up to try out. She told me to take it home and see what I thought. I told my friend I didn’t like and probably wouldn’t buy. About a week later the other rep called me and asked for her make-up sample back! I told her I was confused because I thought the sample was for me to keep. She informed me that all samples are shared. I told that make-up was not supposed to be shared. She continued to send me texts telling me to give her the sample back. I told I would but I was always going to call the company. She then proceeded to be extremely rude. When I told her I would send the make-up back to the company and not her because I did not want to deal with her she told me, “You’re getting the rudeness you deserve. You mess with my company, you mess with me.” I’m sorry…what? How am I the one messing with a company? It’s never good business practice to pass around USED make-up samples with their USED brushes. Gross!

Every experience at Club Mahindra has been a memorable one. From the tucking to giving bath to elephants we got more than expected. Adding to that, the food is delicious with the wide variety of dishes, even every meal has been a satisfying one.
The most important is all the staff. They are even so courteous and willing to make the guest comfortable, by being friendly & helpful. Not only handful of them, but literally each one of them putting a great location and excellent resorts together, this stay will always be remembered.
