Direct Buy Complaint - Broke even with this last purchase - tv

tv - Complaint

Review by poppydon on 2010-07-01

FORT MYERS, FLORIDA -- We joined Direct Buy after a salesperson had convinced us we would save so much money. For our $4000 membership fee it took us 3 years to finally come out even. We did purchase dining room furniture but had to pay delivery and for set up. We did purchase breakfast set and never did get the correct size screws to put it together and after complaining, they took 3 months to send the screws so we finally went out and purchased them and they wouldn't reimburse us that money. They are supposed to inspect the products before you pick them up. We also bought light fixtures and they didn't tell us the globes were included and it didn't state that so we ended up with 8 globes instead of 4 and they wouldn't take them back. Shouldn't the salesperson have known that. We did purchase backsplash at a bargain rate but the installer wanted 3 times the price of the installer we found on our own. So finally we bought a big TV and our total savings on all these purchases finally made up for the $4000 membership fee so we broke even and would not recommend this to anyone.
