Millennium Tanning Products!!!%$@##$&

[Xlr8torZ28]

I have to start off by saying HOLY F$%^&%G S$%T!!!!
These people call non stop soliciting. I have told them over 20 times to stop calling. I have called their 1800 number twice to be taken off their list AND I have spoken to 3 different supervisors/managers, and was told "I will take you off our list personally", but here I sit still answering calls from these people. The one that called today, hung up on me when I said I wanted to speak to a supervisor (really pissed me off), so I called their direct number and spoke to the company head manager, and he was rude with me when I told him how pissed I was. I have already filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. Has anyone else had problems with this company???

[Xlr8torZ28]

Does anyone have their address so I can send certified mail, or maybe make a drive up there in person?

[brownsuze]

Drive there? And then what? Throw a brick thru their window? Yell at a receptionist? Put a burning bag of poo on their stoop?

Just hang up on them.

*Hi Klown, this is soandso from Millenium Tanning lotion

[Xlr8torZ28]

Yes I know how to hang up. The point is, if I am with a customer (we have skeleton crew here), and the phone rings, and interrupts me, and its those ass hats from Millennium, they have just wasted mine and my customers time. Or if I am explaining to a customer on how to do Mystic, I dont want to be interrupted by a bullshit phone call.

[navigatin1]

I stopped answering the phone when ANY number out side of my local area codes show up, or if it's blocked or unavailable. If it's a legit caller they will leave a message.

[BIG AL]

This has been answered a few times. Next time they call, place a large order with them and have it shipped cod. When the order arrives, refuse the order. Now they have to pay shipping to and back. After one or two times of this, they will get the message and quit calling you.

[Jim Fisher]

Cant you block their number

[stan@sunsys]

What's their number? Post it and we'll all start calling them.

[Tanning Queen]

I did the COD thing and also when they would call would just say "hold on" and put the phone down and go about my day. Eventually they hang up but at least i took up their time waiting for me. Sometimes I would let them sit then go back and say, hang on a second more, I just need to clean this bed and get this person in, then put the phone down again. It was fun!

[JustTans23]

HAHA thats great Queen. I dont get why they think calling at 230 during March and April is a good time. Like I am really going to have time to sit and listen to their stupid sales pitch that is obviously scripted when I have a salon full of 16 years olds that don't know how to make appointments!

[Mojave Tan]

Oh...
They have great deals though.
Buy 6 cases today and I will give you 6 FREE cases at only $39.72 a bottle. What kind of deal is that?

I don't have any bottles of lotion in my store for a $40 cost and only retail for $60. Who could be in business on that mark up?

[jmtan]

The problem is they won't ever get in trouble for calling us non-stop and they know it.

Q&A: The National Do Not Call Registry

Can I register my business phone number or a fax number?

The National Do Not Call Registry is only for personal phone numbers. Business-to-business calls and faxes are not covered by the National Do Not Call Registry.

If you don't mind telling a white lie...Tell them you are going bankrupt and that the equipment is being liquidated soooooooo you won't be needing any lotion since you're bailing...worked for us! Haven't heard from them in awhile. Of course you'd have to step away from the client to say that so they don't freak out.

[Mojave Tan]

Interupt and ask for a sample of the products. Tell them you don't buy before you try....No sample = No deal and call ends.

[TropicalRayz]

I have had soooooo many problems with this company. I have been dealing with this for over a year to the point that I actually have had people call me and say I am foolish and stupid for not buying their products. They told me I was wasting their time so I told them I will never buy their products and to not call me again and they are wasting their own time. I hung up and the guy actually called back and told me I needed professional help and I was psychotic!!!! Can you believe that?!

I have called the receptionist every time they call me and I told her that I won't stop until they do. Her name is Laura and I know she is irritated so she told me the other day that the only solution she can think of at this point for the calls to stop is she was sending me a couple of free packets of lotion so that will put me as an active buyer in their system and that means only one person will have access to my info and that person will be told not to call me. She did say that after 3 months, the calls will start again because I will show back up as inactive. She said maybe at that point I will want to buy something and be put back in as active. I told her that even if their procuct made me sh** gold I will still never buy from them!!

I was advised to call the Attroney General in Florida but they did nothing and said they have every right to harrass me so I will be calling the Atty.Gen here in MA. I was told they will take care of things so hopefully they will help.

There are many other stories I could tell but I won't bore everyone! Something needs to be done with this company. I can't block their numbers because they show up as "unknown name and number" and I have customers that call from those numbers too.

Good luck to everyone....their address by the way is Seminole Blvd. Largo, FL 33770 and their number is 800-373-6866.

Until we ALL contact all our senators and congressman and demand a "do not call list for businesses", nothing can be done.

[aimeekat]

Hmmm that's right up the road from me. I can do a hit if the price is right.

Maybe burning poo flung at their front door?

Too much effort and that is covered in their training.

Say, "I'll be right with you as soon as I am done with this customer," and set the phone on the counter.

In a few minutes, you'll hear the loud "beep-beep-beep-beep..." indicating they have hung up.

Sometimes progress is wasting more of the unwanted solicitor's time. Fewer calls per hour are made and everyone wins but them.

[Secretstanning]

i just put them on hold and forget about them. then if they call back i put them on hold again. sometimes i just hang up on them.. sometimes i will ask them for their home phone number so i can call them back when i get home in the evening.
