buying oils off Amazon -- good idea or not?

To Amazon or not to Amazon?  That is the question ...

I get it, really.  It's so easy to buy from Amazon, especially if you have a Prime account and get shipping for free.  You can buy everything there -- one stop shopping without ever leaving your house. Easy peasy.

So why not buy your essential oils from Amazon?  If you look, you can even buy my favorite oils there. Without sounding completely self-serving -- the obvious reason to not buy your oils from anyone except me (!) is that if you're buying from Amazon, you're not supporting my little self-employed mom and pop (well, mom and kid) small business.  I mean if you can sleep at night, thinking of little Shelby asking, "Mommy, will we have food tomorrow?" then you're a special kind of person.  

Okay, it's not like that.  Well, kinda.  

But ... Truth is, this is my business and my livelihood.  I take a lot of pride in what I do.  I've researched -- tons! -- and really trust and appreciate the integrity and ethics of the essential oil company that I represent.  It is a company with heart and as their local "feet on the ground" person, I carry out my work with pride and integrity as well. I research and help people address issues that doctors say there is no hope for.  These oils change lives and I work really hard to help others.

From YOUR standpoint, though -- someone looking for a good deal -- why shouldn't you buy essential oils from Amazon, or really from any source besides .... well, a doTERRA-ite like me?

SAFETY AND PURITY

1. It may not be the real deal.  There are shady people (hey, believe it or not - lol) doing business on the 'net.  It's easy to take used bottles, put a few drops of essential oils in them and then fill the bottle up with cheap carrier or synthetic oils.  The sealed caps can be purchased and then placed on the bottles.  You can't tell if they've been tampered with.
2. doTERRA is actively trying to shut down re-sellers because of the iffy contents of the bottles and also because many of these re-sellers are using stolen credit cards to purchase oils and then selling them cheaply.  You're very possibly buying stolen goods and supporting criminal activity!
3. We sell through direct marketing specifically because using natural healthcare solutions involves teaching people the what, how, where, when and why of using their oils. When you buy from me, I am there to help you navigate through the maze of oil choices -- the selection of oils and how to use them for the best effect.  I provide you with tools, training and resources such as private Facebook groups where you can go and get answers.
4. Finally, because of extensive third-party testing you can trust doTERRA when they say their oils are the most pure, consistent in their chemical make-up and most potent on the market -- and that's all that really matters.  BUT THIS IS TRUE ONLY IF YOU BUY IT THROUGH doTERRA and NOT A RE-SELLER.  Why throw your money away -- and perhaps worse - give up on essential oils because you've bought an inferior product?
