WAHM chatall the ins and outs of being a Work At Home Mom, how to get popcorn out of your keyboard/printer, and when not to send that invoice with the scribble.
Um, You can not send a plain Letter with Delivery confirmation. In order to get Delivery confirmation it must go priority. So either you sent it priority and forgot because you didnt mention it here, or you didnt send it with Delivery confirmation or you are just getting on the band wagon.
I am not getting involved here persay, but you can send a first class mail w/Delivery Confirmation. The 'rule' says it has to be at least 3/4" at it's thickest point, but some Post Offices will let you send just plain letters. I did it as recently as last week so I am 100% positive about this.
And as far as SLS: it causes big open sores inside my children's and husband's mouths when it's in their toothpaste, so I don't care if there is proof that says SLS is safe, this is like someone telling me the drinking water in Baton Rouge is safe just because it is on paper. We live in cancer alley surronded by Petrochemical plants, I higher doubt the water is tremendously safe, just like, personally, from my own research and experience I do not believe SLS is all it is cracked up to be.

All I can say is I bet there are no tupperware, Avon or Mary Kay threads anywhere like this.
I am sorry but it is like you are all brainwashed.
I would never sit here and argue with anyone on what a great company bragg's liquid aminos is even though at times I would like to inject it. Oh and their apple cider vinegar. And don't get me started on Bronners.
This is just not healthy.
I hate grape flavored anything!

<<By the way, there is a HUGE difference in MEDICAL testing on animals such as does with CF, and testing of cosmetics on animals. There are viable and reliable alternatives to cosmetic animal testing. Mixing issues doesn't change that. (ETA - I don't support either, but just wanted to point out the difference iis where good alternatives exist.)>>
They dont test on animlas with their cosmetics. They dont test on animals when it comes to that stuf. They are a pharmicutical company and like any other pharmicutical if somthing comes along that will benift cancer patients or heart patients or the like and legally testing has to be done that benfits humands then it will have to be done. So again false claims as far as the testing goes.
There is no threads about Avon because everyone knows Avon has unsafe ingredients in their products. Avon doesnt claim to be safer and healtheir so nothing to debate.
As far as your letter, I do not know you personally to know it you are telling the truth or lieing and you might be doing either. I do know of other Momas here who people believe them to be the most honest people who flat out lied here because I know personally the situation and the letters were never sent. If it were such and issue as it is here on Amitys it would be more widespread.
They do not have a grape flavored shower gel.
As far as the VP thing goes it was Jessica_momof6 who made the false claim,
<the freaking VP backed her up in our repeated requests for information! he said it was true. he said he had seen the funeral papers. it was a crock of bull sh*t!! he lied to everyone.>

Oh I guess they quit carrying the grape before you joined the company. They had it back when I looked at the company like 10 years ago.
And your company is not much more natural than Avon. Put it this way Burts Bees, Body Shop and Bath and Body Works, Amyway, Shaklee are not natural either. But what I am saying is where do you see on any Board Avon reps defending like your Melaleuca reps do. It scares me.
fruity hair wash would be un-natural
Koala Pals Tear-Free Hair Wash gently cleans and conditions hair in one easy step. Provitamin B, chamomile, and naturally derived conditioners tame tough tangles on the spot. Leaves hair soft and buildup-free, making it easier to style. Kids love the fun, fruity fragrance and easy-to-hold bottle.
not natural and gross, bubblegum toothpaste!
Only Koala Pals contains the 3-in-1 blend of fluoride, calcium, and Melaleuca Oil to provide strong cavity protection and help eliminate odor-causing bacteria. The result? Strong, healthy teeth for your little ones. Protects young teeth with calcium and flouride—great bubble gum taste.
Over 50% of five- to nine-year-old children have at least one cavity or filling, and 78% of children under the age of 17 have had at least one cavity. Tooth brushing can protect young teeth from cavities and fillings, but tooth brushing with Koala Pals toothpaste works even better.
Pear Raspberry is not natural. No essential oil of either
gentle cleanser - made with our Hydrating Fruit Complex that nurtures your skin.
Your pampering experience begins each morning with Sun Valley Moisturizing Body Wash. From the moment you smooth on this extraordinary formula, you'll experience pure luxury that ends with beautiful, silky-smooth skin. Sun Valley Moisturizing Body Wash is a gentle cleanser — made with our Hydrating Fruit Complex that nurtures your skin. The result is amazing — skin looks and feels more supple and youthful. Plus, this exclusive body wash "washes in" moisturizing vitamins and botanicals to keep your skin smooth and baby-soft.
Ya know, I was going to leave this thread alone, but I don't like personal attacks against my character. I don't know you either but I haven't said you lied. I believe you love Melaleuca - 24 of your last 40-some posts are in defense/promotion of them. And that's fine. I am GLAD you've had a good experience with them. The OP asked for info/opinions and I shared mine. You shared yours. Can't we just leave it at that?
There are plenty more out there, it's not just a few...
Even their BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU REPORT reflects that people have difficulty getting them to cancel their memberships AND that there ARE unresolved complaints! Just because they respond to a complaint doesn't mean they made things right. Most people are probably like me and drop the issue just to get them to cancel the membership and stop auto-shipping.
Based on BBB files this company has responded to all complaints. While all complaints have been responded to a few consumers remain dissatisfied even though the company made good faith efforts to resolve the complaints. Complaints brought to the attention of the Bureau allege dissatisfaction with the time it takes to cancel the distributorship agreement. Since distributors cancellation must be received in writing by Melaleuca, it is alleged that the automatic bank withdrawals and product orders continue past the time that the distributor has mailed their cancellation notice. This time lapse has been the basis of most concerns brought to the attention of the Bureau.
we could get a separate MLM Market board so all the cult freak network marketers could just SPAM one another all day long and talk about how great there products are and the rest of us could be left alone? Anyone wanna vote on it?

I have never used anything from Melaleuca, I have also never worked for them. I did neither of those things because about 6 years ago, I was approached by a rep from Melaleuca that basically stalked me trying to get me to become a rep for Melaleuca. That just freaked me out and put a huge reg flag on the company. I am a person that does look at people that represent a company, that, in itself, would make or break my sale.
Melaleuca has been picked apart here and everywhere for good reason, everyone has their family in their best interest.
This is just MY opinion...

IMO, read through this thread and the people that are pushing for Mela and their attitudes. Need I say more?
I tell you, I was STEAMED when that thread came up by Jess and the lies, etc. that were sent on to her, BUT this company (and obviously her higher up here!) pretty much turned their back on HER once they were found out to be lying. They stuck up for her at first until it all came out and then acted like they either didn't know her or couldn't believe she did what she did by posting (what one of the other reps had sent her and told her to get the word out about!)
Not the kind of business or people *I* want to be involved in, personally.
Apparently Denise is all *ALONE* in this thread believing Mela is a ~*~WONDERFUL~*~ company.
Quote:
Secondly, just reading all of the extremely defensive responses from Denise (TwidleBritches) reminds me of why I stayed away. The responses by her are by far still not making Melaleuca look good.
I couldn't agree more.
Mela should be very proud of their brainwashing techniques.
