Kleeneze: Easy to Lose Money; And It's Not Down to Lack of Effort

Advantages: None, that I experienced.
Disadvantages: Easy to lose money.

I bought 100 catalogues (costing £109) as my initial investment. After two distribution/collection cycles, only 37 catalogues were returned to me (i.e. I'd lost £71.48 worth of catalogues) . I received orders totally £78.50 (Kleeneze tell you to expect to orders averaging around £1 per catalogue). You have to pay a delivery charge (or "handling charge") of £12 if your orders total less than £100. You earn 21% commission, thus I had earned £16.48 ...
...paid. Realising that the following week I would be in negative figures (on target for £7.77 commission minus £12 handling charge would leave me with a further loss of £4.23), I resigned. You can terminate the agreement within 14 days and get £75 of your original investment refunded, but I've been I'll have to wait around a month to get my money back. ...

Review of Argos Catalogue

Fantastic Foot Product

Advantages: smooth feet, free of dry skin!
Disadvantages: no replacement parts so if it become blunt would have to buy a new one

I have recently bought a product that gets rid of the hard skin on your feet. . . . it is fantastic. I also bought one for my mum after and she loves it, our feet are now unbelievably smooth! Amazing! There is no need to use it every day and it has a compartment that collects the skin so there is no mess. This is well worth its money and would rather pay for this than one of them foot files that gets all the skin on the floor and you have to use ...

Review of Betterware Catalogue

Index... The Catalogue Shop. (Closing down review)

Advantages: Friendly staff/ Cheap goods/ experienced in catalogue shopping.
Disadvantages: Unavailability of items.

...how to shop at an Index Catalogue Shop. Let me emphasize "Catalogue Shop"... Take a look through the catalogues before asking at the counter. General Store layouts are as follows... Pallet of catalogues upon entering the stores premises. Several stands of laminated pinned down catalogues, along with pens and selection forms. A jewellery counter. A Collection counter. As many of you will be aware these stores are closing down. All of them. ...
...ask questions about store closure, take into account that all staff at these stores will be losing their jobs. My reviewed review is taking into account new store operations due to the closing down sales... New changes to stores... No ring and reserve service. No returns Policy. (Money back and home approval garuantees have been scrapped) No home delivery. Items with letters included in the order number are no longer available. No extra discounts. ...
