Very delayed reply but I've been in work all day. I'll try and answer the questions asked as best I can about LTW.
why doesn't LTW have prices for the groceries on it's website?
Probably because a lot of them don't seem directly competitive with the likes of Lidl and Aldi and it would put people off before they find out how the company works - products are ALL branded and all sold at or around the RRP. The profit margin LTW makes on these branded items is huge. They have no advertising/retailers etc taking a piece of the pie. Price wise on individual products, it will never compete with the cheap supermarkets. But part of their profits are used to offer incentives for individuals to advertise their groceries through MLM rather than traditional advertising.
Do you find yourself buying brand stuff you don't need in order to make up your monthly 'spend' requirements, Life? - I will do, yes. I'm buying the £165 hamper this month, which is the cheapest way to hit your shopping points target. When I get bonus, i'll have scope to be more choosy.
why is it so vague about the 'opportunity' on the same website?
I don't know - some of the pages are blank, or redirect to the homepage. It's something that's been raised many times over the past few weeks, along with the poor grammar and spelling. The whole thing is in the process of being overhauled. I get the feeling that it was set up in a rush without proper consideration for how quickly it would take off (that's just my feeling though)
I believe that you get 2% cash back on your basic shopping - yes, that's right. And 1% of your downline teams shopping.
there's no picking of your delivery time, it's sent in 3-5 days - also right. I think the delivery charge is £1.99 and free over £40 - I will have to check.
only those at the very top will be making anything decent - That's where LTW is different to a scammy pyramid company IMO. Being at the top doesn't mean you're earning the most in LTW. There are plenty of examples where someone's downline is earning more than them. The person two up from me is earning her £2k bonus this month, but her upline is only just managing to reach their £200. It's to do with your three 'legs' (your three direct downlines and their teams) - you need all three of your legs to be active and generating a certain amount of shopping points each to get to each level bonus. So my upline Sue has three legs, all active and all bursting with people doing shopping - hence £2k for Sue. Sue's upline Joan, however, has one fantastic leg - Sue's - that's way over achieving. But she's not putting much effort in and her other two legs are nearly empty - hence no big bonuses for Joan - hope that makes sense.
You couldn't do all your shop for there - definitely not. There's no fresh and no frozen at the moment. I'm a Lidl girl and I intend to keep shopping there, alongside LTW.
Have you read the links that Throwing provided? What do you think of them? - No, not specifically (although thank you for posting them). I did my research and plenty of it before signing up. Including Companies House and Director checks. I know what the links are likely to say, and it doesn't change my opinion that I think LTW is going to earn me a decent income based on the proof I've seen from people I know already doing it.
What made you join if the spelling and appearance of the page was so bad? Did this not ring alarm bells that it might not be a slick, professional, trustworthy scheme? - Yes, the website put me right off at first. What made me change my mind was seeing the actual screen-shot proof of my friends upline earning her £750 bonus after a few weeks.
Bonuses - you have three direct downlines (only ever three) and then they have three and so on. Referred to as your three legs. The target is for each individual agent to do 100 PV (profit value) points worth of their shopping a month - which is £100 worth of profit for LTW, and will cost you between £165-£250 a month, depending on what you buy. When you have two people in each leg (so 6 total) doing their 100PV shop in a calendar month, you earn £200. When you have 7 people in each leg doing their 100PV shop in a calendar month (so 21 total) you earn £750. When you have 22 people in each leg doing their 100PV shop in a calendar month (66 total), you earn £2k. These are monthly bonuses for every month they are achieved, not one offs.
Phew, that was mammoth. Going to go have a lie down now.
