Let's all step away from the thread...

I didn't take Shelly's comments as petty & mean. I took them as frustrated & venting. I thought vanscootin went too far in her comments but I don't know the background of what brought her to say those things. Maybe she has recently seen a lot of complaining and this was the last straw? Let's all take into consideration each other's circumstances and not judge. Shelly is hearing all those others got theirs even if they submitted later and she was told hers is backordered & had other recent issue so she was venting in a safe place. I bet she's not bad mouthing the company with her customers. Let's all give her a break. How would you feel if you were in her situation? (generic "you")

Thanks Beth and Linda. And Vanscootin, I wasn't trying to say your shows were small because you weren't good at what you do, just that I have never had a show that was under $500 that something was missing from. Sorry if you misunderstood. And the consultant who made that comment about dropping like flies was me. I didn't start the "don't get screwed" thread was just posting on it which is definitely my perogative. And where I am, I have seen consultants doing much complaining and dropping like flies so saying that was not out of turn. Our upline is fantastic, their complaints are about HO.

I am glad some of you have never had any issues with HO or orders. I believe I have every right to call HO about why I didn't get it when I earned it first. I wanted to know if I did something wrong and something that I should not do next time. But again, no one calls back and I have no answers.

And while on the phone with them yesterday I asked about items I received but didn't order with my last adjustment. They couldn't even tell me if they wanted the items returned, now how is that good customer service? I have had them for almost 2 months already and they still don't know if they need them back???? So if you find someone complaining about LACK of Customer Service lately it's probably true!
