I have jad the exact experinces of everyone here who has bought a route from this company - they promise the world and they don't deliver!!! This company delivers nothing that its "esteemed sales force" (Ron Whitworth, Jay, Brian...all the same names) and area managers tell you they would, but rather they choose to ignore you after you've purchased horrible candles and an extremely high price. A bigger joke is their "support staff who is supposed to be your "fulfillment rep" from 9am until 10pm at night". What a joke, they don't exist!!! (Leah, Johnny...names sound familiar???)
I am sad that I found this website now and didn't before I made the investment with this company. Everything that the other ripoff reports state is true, and the rebuttal from Mr. Hillman is a total joke. I have lost close to $15,000 and not even sold $2,000 worth of merchandise - and yes, all my locations are closing now, I have nothing to offer them and I have been asked to leave (so much for a safe investment).
They deliver NOTHING but lies and deception and they will not stand behind their business practices as promised. They give you nothing but garbage product that they never intended to "buy back if it didn't sell". They also work with a "placment firm" (mine was the Norwood Group in Florida) who also rips you off and does not stand behind their agreement. Who knows who you are talking to - only voice mail (unless you haven't mailed in your check yet). The only people at this company that you can talk to after you get your merchandise is the answering service, otherwise your lost in the land of voice mail, I've made some friends at the answering service, as I call repeatedly.
DO NOT INVEST YOUR MONEY OR TIME IN THIS COMPANY. We have lost whatever savings we had left and then some. We are the working people of this sountry trying to make an honest living. This company sees us as their "prey". They charge just enough so that no lawyer would take the case on "contingency" and not enough for anyone to persue individually.
If any of you out there want to get together and try to stop this company, please join my group. I have been searching for other distributors, as when I bought my route they wouldn't give me any names or numbers, and would love a group effort to stop them.
This company is a sham - a shame - and these people prey on the working class people in this country, those who have work ethics and want to make a living - this wasn't a get rich quick scheme - this was supposed to be a "business" - an opportunity to start something of your own - something you could help support your family with.
THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR KIDS OR YOUR WELL BEING --- THESE PEOPLE ONLY WANT YOUR MONEY --- Let's get them before they hurt anymore decent people in this country - I am in for a good fight, I have notified the media, I have contacted my attorney - anyone else ....join me and lets get them before they change names and leave the state of MA - or worse, they hurt another family and rip them off too!.

If anyone has had trouble with the Norwood Group Inc. Placement company you can go to www.800helpfla.com. You can file it online under business opportunities, they will not take action until they have a group of people affected by this Company.

I agree with you guys, norwood was also my placement company. The owner won't call me back and after 4 months still have no locations. I have filed complaints with everyone I can think of. I am ready to get on a plane and handle this situation face to face since no one will answer the phone. We need to set up a message board outside of this site to get organized as a whole. Does anyone know how to do that? I am ready for a good fight to get things resloved.

Yes I worked with norwood group as well they have my money but did not find my locations. Not that it matters since the candles wont sell anyways. Make sure to file claims with B.B.B, Federal trade comission,Attorney General, cambride consumer council, US postal inpector (Fred Woodward) all located in Cambridge Ma. as they are working on investigations as I write this. The more, the better some agencies only help when alot of people have been victimized as I know for a fact their are many of us. GOD help us!! If anyone has more ideas as which to expose this company please post. I will not let this go.
