This is a true statement.  However, Priority Service provides even more
service to the customer as the customer can set up a "standing order" that is
delivered & charged each month.

*ALL* Amway Catalog items are available through the toll free 800 number so
theoretically there is really no need to pick up products.  However, many of
the day-to-day items (such as toilet paper) are only offered in case lots via
the 800 number.  "Eaches" can be purchased via upline.
