Melaleuca

Literal and obvious pyramid scheme, but that has nothing to do with my problem with this company. No, that reason would be the forced, incredibly excessive monthly orders. After placing a couple orders to stock up on several products, I had all the cleaning supplies I would need for quite some time. Obviously Melaleuca disagreed, sending me $84 worth of products I did not need and also DID NOT ORDER. I then went on the website and deleted this automatic order. I guess that was not enough as they recreated the automatic order and tried to ship me another $84 worth of unwanted products the next month. Luckily I saw this before it shipped however they charged me $10 to cancel an order I DID NOT PLACE and had not yet shipped. I had to cancel my account just to prevent being sent unwanted products. What happened with the first unwanted order? I'm glad you asked... after paying out of pocket to send the order back, they claim they did not receive it and did not refund me. Yes, essentially I paid ~$100 for absolutely nothing as they have all the products they sent me without my knowledge or consent. Unless you require large monthly shipments of "cheap" cleaning products, please do not waste your time and money going through this headache.

Ok product at a decent price. Pain in the butt to get out of membership and difficult for a small family to meet minimum requirements, impossible for a single person.

Full disclosure: I make a PT living as a Melaleuca rep. I am a businessperson who does not trust MLMs, so when I decided to do it as a business I drove straight to Idaho Falls from Edmonton Canada to meet the execs and even suggest new product ideas (which they mostly adopted based on market demand). After thorough due diligence I learned that it was originally purchased as an MLM but soon converted to the insurance model of compensation. (Talk to your insurer to find out how their comp model works.) Melaleuca requires a membership and an immediate purchase because they know you'll fall in love with their products if you give them a chance. Smart business! And if you don't, then get all money back and cancel! Easy.) I don't find them secretive. Join with an email address to purchase direct--without becoming a member--and you can see all the prices. Or ask a member to email the price list! I honestly think the negative reviews are from people who've been burned by MLMs in the past, which I understand. To those people, I challenge you to find a low-pressure Melaleuca rep and ask them a million questions so you can find out more for yourselves. They should be willing and patient sharers of solid info. If you feel pressured, find someone else. Hope this helps.

I think the cleaning products are "safe" because they are mostly water. I don't suffer particularly from any allergies, which is what my consultant and other marketing materials from the company seems to really emphasize. I found I had to use huge quantities of their dish soap to get the same results as Dawn soap. I used the entire Melaluca laundry and line and found that my laundry was not nearly as fresh smelling as my usual Tide and Downy combo. The scent fades fast and is hardly noticeable. Melaluca charges you to ship items and charges you for return shipping. No thanks. I can make a quick trip to the store once a month or less for the same items and not manufacture a list of mediocre products that I don't really want shipped to me just to meet their monthly quotas. Honestly, if you (Melaluca) must force your members to buy items each month... are your products really that good? Not a business model I appreciate or respect. I did it as a favor for a friend and because I was curious, I should have just not even bothered. To cancel, they sent me a form that had a line for my spouse to sign... excuse me? My husband's signature wasn't required to sign up. Pretty ridiculous. It's not real estate people it's vitamins and soap, I should have been able to opt out with a single click online. Why do you need an actual wet signature? Again, if your products were that good… I say you wouldn't, and I could probably find Melaluca in stores. That's another thing they tell you… that what you buy in stores isn't as good as their stuff. It's a pyramid scheme at best. Save your hard-earned dollars.

Been taking peak performance and I have more energy than I have had in years! Also love the GC control shakes, they help with appetite and balance glucose Definitely recommend

I have been a customer of Melaleuca for over 21 years now. Melaleuca manufacture the best, safest, most economical products in the marketplace. The products have made a great difference in my health and the health of many other people that I have referred to them. I was a very busy High School Principal when I started as a Melaleuca customer and after I realized that I didn't have to sell anything, stock or inventory anything, or pick up and deliver anything, my wife Mary Martha and I decided to start referring our friends and relatives to the company. After they all saw that they or no one else could get hurt with this great company, they started referring customers to Melaleuca also and we and many of them have built tremendous monthly residual incomes. The company takes all the orders, collects the money, does the paperwork, ships the products and sends us a check every month for just referring and helping others open an account. We and many of the people we have referred to Melaleuca have been free to live life on our own terms for many years now. I highly recommend Melaleuca to anyone because I know they all need our exceptional products at reasonable prices, and I know they all need money!

We were told that the products were safe and healthy however they are not. The ingredients in the toothpaste and lotion are quite the opposite
