Im from Estonia. Prices are not high. (in UK are less bonuses too). Im in this business about year, Baltic states were opened last year and thats great, more more peolpe want to use these products or be a ABO. No bad wrods at all. Average monthly expenditures/costs are lower than buying from the store.

Hi Di, Amway is now in Lithuania. Prices are set on a market by market basis, so you need to make Amway Poland (which also runs lithuania) aware of the price discrepancies.

Hi, I am from Lithuania. I’ve been registred in Poland Amway for three months, but I found Amway in UK where prices are much more cheaper!!! So, nowadays i am registred in Amway Uk, buying form there and sell here in LT. Why?
First problem, we do not have Amway in LT. Second problem Amway Europe (Poland) has very higer prices.
For exmp. Glister 6833 :
Price from Poland for me as ABO 6 euro,
Price from UK for me as ABO 4 euro already with transport expenses.
or Premium SA8 100115: Poland – 23 euro, UK – 15 euro.

Prices should be the same!!!! It’ s a BIG problem of Amway marketing policy.

first – map is 200 years old please put this one: http://kalafudra.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/baltic_states-map.jpg

second – amway products in Lithuania is already ~20 years. Now with EU rules you can’t restrict people to buy/sell what ever they want. so they can easiuly buy from UK cheaper and ship to Lithuania and sell there. It’s strange for me why Amway still has different price level in EU. should be the same price everywhere.

There is another problem in Lithuania with Amway. As a lot of Lithuanians live in Ireland and UK they register people living in Lithuania with UK address, and a lot of UK products now are in Lithuania market. As we know prices of Amway products in Eastern market ( in the future in Lithuania too) are extremely bigger then prices in UK. I’m not sure how it possible to do some business in LT legally, if there a lot of cheap products imported illegally. You can find a lot of websites where these cheap products are sold. Is it possible to control this mess?

Bruce, I’ve reported it several times. The first time, he paid up. Ever since then, he says he doesn’t have to roll it up and since the rule is so vague, it is virtually unenforceable. If he wants to be like that and think it’s ok, even though people quit over it, fine. You can rest assured that I don’t run my business that way.

I am a Canadian IBO. In Canada the rules were somewhat lax for a while, and I earned bonus on downline pv/bv even though I did not meet the 50 pv retail rule.

However, since the transition back to Amway Global from Quixtar, and since the trouble in the UK, the company is enforcing the rule.

I have to report retail volume through the Amway.ca website, or have the sales through my personal website (http:// amway.ca/mywebsitename)

I trust these changes will hit other countries as well.

Clarification: The bonus money is from a an IBO that is downline from me that has earned a bonus because they are over 3%, but they only get a bonus on their personal volume since they didn’t meet the customer volume requirement. Then the differential is >>supposed<< to roll up to the first IBO that has met the customer volume requirement. I had a downline that I thought he was paying the differential to but he wasn't, even though they qualified for it, and they quit. You might think it's nit-picking, but I say it is keeping people happy and keeping them in the business. If you disagree, that's ok, I'll respect your opinion. I just don't want to run my business like a tight-@$$.

I’ve been told by the rules department that the money is paid to the Platinum, then they roll it up (or actually down) to the first IBO that has met the customer volume requirement, which in my case would be me. He says he doesn’t have to pay it, so he doesn’t. Maybe he doesn’t, but when I go Platinum, I will certainly pay it to the ones that qualify for it. Why wouldn’t I? It’s not really my money. It’s just another rule that is vague and can be interpreted how it is most advantageous to the person interpreting it. Unfortunately, some IBOs won’t ask about it or won’t turn in the offending upline Platinum, maybe out of fear of retribution. Instead, they just quit and the Platinum then thinks they are just another quitter. I’ve reported it, and once he begrudgingly paid me, then I reported it a second time, and his secretary said that he no longer had to pay it. For last month, he owes me $43.43 but I know I’ll never get it. Cheapskate. But I’m bigger than that. I’m not going to quit over it, however it is still a sore spot with me. He knows that he owes me, and if he (or any other Platinum that doesn’t roll it up) can live with it and have it not bother him, I guess that’s his problem.
