Purchasing Power's interest rates vary from 60 to 95%: Beware of Purchasing Power's blatant lies. Their catalog claims that you would pay more on your credit card to finance through a credit card (18% to 25%). Blatant lie. Check the actual cost of their products to begin with.

For example, they are selling a 3rd-generation 32G iPod for $505 with the same bells and whistles that you get from Apple for $299, only the one you would get from Apple is a 4th generation. So you will actually pay $206 more for an older generation iPod. If you were to finance this $299 purchase from the Apple store on your credit card for a year at a high rate of 25%, you'd pay $42.01 in interest. That would be $341.01. Yet, Purchasing Power wants you to believe you're getting a good deal by charging you $206 over the actual purchase price for this item which is actually worth less than the one you'd get at the Apple store because it is only 3rd generation, not 4th.

Shame on any employer who offers this program, as they get kickbacks from Purchasing Power for raping employees. This is a notice of complaint to FTC for false advertising, etc. by PurchasingPower.com

I had canceled my order in Aug. 2011 because what I had ordered, they didn't have anymore. They offered me something else but I canceled the order, return the case that was sent and did an allotment for $39. There were two payments of $39 out my check. Now today, I checked my checking account at the bank. It showed that Purchasing Power had taken $154. I don't have the items. Just put my money back in my account please and the $78 from the allotment. I called about 10 or more times and left a number to be called back.

I ordered OS HP laptop to my place of work. The laptop arrived. However, the wireless printer did not. The address it was sent to was no longer valid by the time it arrived. I called and changed the address and was told it would be reshipped to my home. It never arrived. We waited over the 45-day report and now I am paying for a printer I never got. The vendor kept denying my claim. They should be able to track when it arrived back to CA. However, they will not. Purchasing Power said that there was nothing I could do and no way to get a hold of the vendor.

We called. I was told after I moved clinic that we waited too long. The 1st record of complaint was on July 10, 2010. However, the order was placed in March. When we moved clinic, I called them. No one called back. That is standard I guess. But we did not call the 1st time in July. We waited for reshipment to a new address, my home. Now I am told I must pay for the printer anyhow. It went to Fl in holding area. I called again before July. I don't care what records show to confirm it was being shipped to my home. It never arrived.
