Can I buy Amway products in stores?

Amway products are not sold in stores because Amway is a direct selling company and the direct selling business model doesn’t typically use traditional brick and mortar locations.

Instead, people sell products or services directly to customers in a non-retail environment. Those people are called distributors, consultants, entrepreneurs or, in the case of Amway, Independent Business Owners (IBOs).

In addition to offering products or services, direct selling companies also offer the opportunity for people to own their own business as a seller of those products or services. Because those business owners earn money by selling products or services to customers, offering them through other channels, like traditional stores, would work against the success of not only the business owners but the direct selling company, as well.

Where can I buy Amway products?

So, where can you buy Amway products? From an Amway IBO, of course. About 290,000 people in the U.S. and more than 1 million across the world are registered Amway IBOs who would be happy to help you with your purchase.

But because we live in the digital age, you can also buy Amway products at Amway.com. Each IBO can create their own page on Amway.com known as their Amway MyShop. It’s their personal Amway eCommerce site where their customers can purchase any of Amway’s 350+ health and wellbeing products.

Consumers who don’t have a relationship with an IBO can also purchase products at Amway.com. During the purchasing process, they will have the option to connect with an IBO in their area for future purchases. They can interact with an IBO as much or as little as they like.

Benefits of direct selling

There are many benefits of the direct selling business model. For the consumer, a major one is the customer service that comes with a person-to-person business. That means customers get personal service and thoughtful product recommendations.

Who better to buy from than someone who knows, uses and loves the product? Amway IBOs are experts, always ready to answer customer questions, help them understand product benefits, show them how to use products and even assist with product returns. (All products come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.)

Customer satisfaction is their passion, before, during and after the purchase. The nearly 290,000 people in the U.S. and more than 1 million across the world who are registered IBOs have a vested interest in going above and beyond with customer service so they can build customer loyalty.
