This company represent that you will sell 4 to 8 bags of thier coffee per day at locations an affiliated company will secure.

They provide you with "other successful distributors" to verify that it is possible to make over $5K profit per month on 27 racks. You talk to these guys who actually call back (called "singers") who tell you how successful they have been. Call a month later & they never call back.

The truth is

1) they send you more coffee than you could sell in a year

2) Ive been lucky to sell 4 bags in a week & after 9 locations were secured(out of 20 pre-paid), the locating company wont return my calls

3) They actually make a fortune on selling the racks which you place in the stores

4) They refuse to put you in touch whith other Distributors once they have your money

5) The promice of help & knowledge regarding marketing is False

6) The "Commercial Accounts" they represent they set up for you (in my case i was told 18 were interested in buying the product) are non existant.

Dont buy this Distribution. It is all lies & misrepresentations. Yes, the coffee is very good, but doesnt sell!

Wish I had seen this before ..they never came through on their promises

AUTHOR: Kevin - (U.S.A.)

I figured it would be perfect. I live in Seattle and I'm selling coffee. The "singers", I didn't know they were called that, are what sold me on the whole deal. They said how they worked their butts off in the beginning and now were sitting back and enjoying the profits. I wanted to get a piece of this action.

The thing is they never came through on their promises and I haven't been able to get a hold of one person there. Every time I do get someone the person I was dealing with is gone and I have to start all over again.

Same old ploy, FTC filed a lawsuit against them & I eventually got about $700 back two years later

Back in 1990 I fell for a very similar scheme. That was "Gourmet Mini Cookies." Same set up. They let you talk to "successful" distributors. They had a placement company who went with you to secure locations for the racks. They were from Boca Raton. I lost about $7000. Fortunately the FTC filed a lawsuit against them & I eventually got about $700 back two years later.
