What did all these disgruntled LulaRoe consultants think was going to happen?

Google "lularoe leggings" and select the "images" tab.

LLR is still wildly popular in places like OH, WV, MI, and TN. I have relatives or friends in all of those states and at least in their towns, the market doesn't seem to be as saturated. I see posts they share of the pop-up stores having 200+ comments on people wanting to order x,y,z items.

But I feel like trends reach some of those places later, so what is passe here is just starting to ramp up there.

They are mainly patterns that only look appropriate for young women, but are pretty much solely worn by middle-age moms.

Like, unless you're an artist with purple glasses, bright red hair, and permanent paint smears on your shirt, you look ridiculous walking around in public with flamingo print leggings.

I wouldn't be surprised if the people commenting on those posts are also consultants. My cousin pulls this scam with Nerioum. I click on the profiles of all the dumbasses commenting on the great bargains and how great the product is, and they're all in the Nerioum cult.

I live in the midwest and it's ridiculous how frequently I see people in LLR. I cannot for the life of me imagine leaving the house clothed only in stretch jersey unless I was headed straight to the gym, but I see people in this stuff all over the place. And, it looks imagine like you would expect it to.

Can't they still return them at a 90% refund?

There are other rules though. Consultant now pays shipping (they didn't under the waiver), items must be less than a year old, be in "perfect" condition (decided by Lularoe once they receive the item and they do not mail back items that fail this test), and items must have been purchased directly from Lularoe - this is an issue because apparently its common for consultants to swap items with other consultants, or buy inventory from consultants going out of business - these items are not returnable, whereas previously they were.

Let me get this straight. When the consultants signed up, these were the original rules but at some point there was a waiver put in place where it was a 100% refund? The consultants are now upset because the waiver expired? Also, in business is it standard to be able to return merchandise for a 100% refund (I don't know- I am asking)?

I've never clicked on the people commenting, but now you've got me curious. I'll look the next time a post pops up.

I am the OP. Yes to your first question. But even people who "resigned" during the "waiver period" were kinda screwed because there was no announced end date to the waiver period - one day this month LulaRoe just said no more waiver effective now. Those who had resigned prior to the end of the waiver but hadn't completed their return process were not grandfathered in. The return process was/is time consuming because each item has to be processed individually.

To be clear, I am not taking their side. I am just sharing what I've read and what I've been told. I'm still in shock that grown intelligent women could ever be so foolish.

There's also the aspect that "consultants" couldn't select their own merchandise beyond styles. So they could easily end up with entire orders that were unsellable to their clientele due to sizes, undesirable colors/prints, etc. That, to me, is the evil genius of LLR - offload s**ty imported products no one wants to unsuspecting consultants and now it's entirely their problem!

I'm pretty sure it won't be long before LLR corporate just closes its doors and walks away.

if people were fighting over the plain leggings, why not make more plain leggings?

Because in LLR, just like in all MLM companies, the sellers/consultants ARE the customers. LLR corporate doesn't give a flying fuck what happens to the clothes after the consultants buy them. These clothes cost LLR $1-$10 to make (a guess according to a friend who runs her own clothing boutique, not LLR), and are sold to the consultant middlemen for between $6 and $50, depending on the item. Then the consultant middlemen sell them to customers for roughly twice what they paid. So a shirt that costs LLR $4 to make is sold to the consultants for roughly $17, and sold to the customers for $34. LLR has already made their money as soon as the shirt leaves the warehouse to the consultant. Therefore there's an incentive to make lots of weird prints and not the normal solids and stripes that most people like - the consultants are forced to order more and more to have a chance at getting the sought after stuff that most people like.
