"Scamway" ... "Also I don't like the word 'scamway'"... I'm fine with it. My family and I are all former (majorly duped) and now recovering distributors. The Amway corporation itself is rock solid and has amazing products (the laundry detergent is unequalled in my opinion). However, its...

My two cents ... "Hey talking about the Amway vacuums who here think that the Amway vac's were much better than some Fantom ones?" I had (still have, but no longer using) a 1996 Fantom Thunder that I bought the same year my Mom got her Cleartrak. She's still using her Cleartrak. It gets a...

Indeed ... "just to meet an impossible imaginary quota" I doubt very many UPS customers would mind -- or even notice -- an extra day of transit in exchange for packages carefully handled.

USPS isn't much better ... When my baby brother was home for Christmas from Tacoma, Washington last Christmas, he tried to stuff some of his old books and other items from his old bedroom into his suitcases. Mom suggested he just set aside the stuff he wanted, and she would pack it and ship it...
