    If you look at the prices of the items that sell in the store, they are much cheaper at Direct Buy. We built a house and our membership was paid by with the windows we bought. Aside from windows, we also purchased floorings and blinds. I even had a decorator through them. They provide good customer service. I'm quite pleased with them. Because of this, I tell my friends about DirectBuy all the time. While they think it's good, the membership is fairly expensive. The membership is more than what it used to be when we started. However, we're very pleased with them so far and we have not had any issues at all. We do save money, which is important these days.

    Cynthia in Member Care provided accurate and thoughtful information, and was helpful in obtaining copies of prior orders from Direct Buy from years ago. Jennifer in Membership renewal was also very helpful. In 2006 we were very put off by the pressure tactics and steep initiation fee of $5000, but joined given the $ savings in building a new house. The web interface undoubtedly has improved; I understand the showroom near me has closed. I will consider re-joining. Some of the order issues in the past were I think largely from the vendor and not Direct Buy and Direct Buy was helpful in resolving them.

    A DirectBuy mail-out was sent to the house one time when we lived in Moncton. I was building a house at that time and thought that would be a good time to join because I had lots of stuff to buy. I bought all kinds of stuff such as appliances, furniture, kitchen sets, mattresses, and bedroom sets. The items were good for the price that I paid. However, the website’s a bit difficult because when I bought the membership when I lived in Moncton, they had a DirectBuy store there so I had a place I could go and get help for things. So that’s a bit of a downside from when I first got the membership. It would be helpful if they had stores in this area where people could go and look at things and touch and feel them because it’s hard to look at pictures sometimes. And then when they get it, sometimes it isn’t exactly what they thought it was going to be. But all in all, with everything being considered, it works as well as any of my other online buying experiences.

    The customer service was all great and helpful. I only use them to clarify a situation about an account or ask a question about a shipment and they’ve always been very helpful and able to answer my question. They’d do it if they said they were going to get back to me or going to send me an email. For the class of the membership, it’s not a good deal if people would buy something from them once a year or for 700 or 800 bucks. But if they’re in the process of either building a new home or doing a major renovation, once they get the money back out of their membership, then to buy little incidental things from time to time works out fine. They have to do something to justify the initial upfront cost in order to make it worth their while.

I’ve bought appliances, furniture, carpets and some electronics and my online purchasing experience has been good. Buying from DirectBuy depends on the circumstances but if it’s going to be a number of big-ticket purchases on products that DirectBuy carries, then let it go.

    I was renovating the entire house and doing kitchen cabinets at the time I went in for DirectBuy’s little sales spiel. They gave savings so it looked like something worthwhile and joining them made sense to me. It's my seventh year with them and so far, I've bought furniture, tiles, plumbing fixtures, small appliances and some cookware. I wouldn’t have been able to buy them if it weren’t for DirectBuy’s prices. The furniture was good. It may not be of the highest quality but it wasn't DirectBuy’s fault. The only issue I've had over the past two years is when they went into bankruptcy and they did some restructuring. They lost some vendors and unfortunately, I had outstanding orders with some of them and some of the orders were not fulfilled months after I've placed them.

    While DirectBuy was were able to ship some of the products, one problem I had is that they lost the vendors that I dealt with like Kohler and American Drew Furniture. I didn’t get their stuff because DirectBuy ticked them off the contract. There was another company – Flexsteel – where I was able to decide and pick the color of the fabric. It was already manufactured and the company didn't want the furniture so even though DirectBuy lost the contract, I still got the products from Flexsteel. Overall, I’m still satisfied with DirectBuy. It would have been wiser for me to lay that much money out, but since I was paying upfront, I've saved a lot more money than I've spent in membership fees.

    I was shopping around and heard about DirectBuy. I went for a consultation for a membership to see if their prices were as good as they say and they were.

We did all the hardwood, the porcelain floors and bought gifts through them. We also bought rugs, light fixtures and even tires. What we saved on our first renovation paid for the membership. The quality of the products is top-notch and the purchasing experience has been excellent. When I'm looking for things now, I go on the website and I find it easy to navigate. Also, the staff in Mississauga have been excellent at all times and if there was a problem, it was well taken care of. I’ve recommended them.

    I have been a DirectBuy member for 13 years and it has changed a lot in the last year. It's all online now. The first years, you go to the club and you order it there. We called and we asked them for a particular thing and then they will pick it up in the store, which was fine. Now, everything is online, which is okay, too. The only disadvantage now is you can't see anything. There was a designer in the club that you could talk to and it was always available for free. Now they only have the 90 minutes consultation at home and that's it.

    But there will always be changes in how they market this so the prices are not as good anymore. Some of the brands are no longer there. Even the furniture companies have changed, as well but American products quality's still good. The cost of furniture is still good based on the quality but it makes it a little bit more expensive with the handling fees and the shipment. For buying furniture or remodeling the kitchen, it would be a good membership to pay for. But for simple projects, I don't think it would be as good.

    If they want to maintain the company, they're going to need to move forward to having a designer online. I suggested that before because all the other websites have pretty much the same things as DirectBuy. They have good prices, they have online, and you can see stuff. But none of them are really saying, "Well, here is a designer for you to use. It's online and they're still going to go to your home but it's for free.” Something like that will definitely be a good add-on into their club. Other than that, I will recommend it.

    I received a phone call a few years ago asking me if I wanted to be a part of DirectBuy. I joined after I went to the store location and our group was briefed. It sounded like a great plan for me based on what I do for a living. I’m a military and I move a lot every two to three years. There are furniture or appliances needed whenever I buy new houses and their advice was it's the cheapest way to do it.

    I've redone the entire floors, furniture, and appliances. It went well as we had a store close by that we can go to and have somebody who guides us for the flooring that I bought. It might be a little harder now that we don't have the membership anymore but I did not come across that yet because I simply order my big pieces, get them to the warehouse and pick them up. I normally look up what's available in DirectBuy and go out to any store close by that may have the same product, look at it and compare it with DirectBuy. Overall, I am a satisfied customer.

    Resolution of overpayment using payment link. The details of the unexpected problem are easily obtained from your staff starting with Tiffiny **. Tiffiny was key in finally resolving my week long issue of my credit card being on hold due to three payments being processed for this order. Both sides learned a lot about some issues concerning some unknown breaks in the information available to both sides. Your people were great in making this a priority to getting it resolved on Friday. There is an issue with the payment link for your members if the data does not match the credit card.

    That is it still processes the payment even though it states your payment is unauthorized. Hence three attempts on our part to resolve the issue and three charges whereas we thought there was only one. Tiffiny also informed me on her side. All she sees is payment failure for the first two attempts so hence there appears to be no action required by DirectBuy. In Tiffiny's efforts to resolve this issue we both found out it was no easy task as the credit card companies had their own communication and policy issues. However she kept working at it till she succeeded and I had my credit freed up so that monthly pre-authorized payments would be denied and negatively impact my credit. Your people were great but a review of this problem for the benefit of your members might be prudent. Thanks to all...

    We have been members of Direct Buy since 2008. I received an invitation to an open house and then we decided to go and check into it. That’s when we decided to become members. We had just bought a new house so we needed to do new floors, windows, bathrooms, and all those kinds of projects. We have also bought appliances, doors, furniture, carpets, as well as, lights. And we're looking at redoing our kitchen too, so we just went to a kitchen seminar at DirectBuy in Markham.

    My experience in purchasing the windows was usually fine, but the concierge services don’t give you the right information on certain things. They even give you something that’s not what you asked for. It’s frustrating and I don’t bother following up because if they don’t understand what it is that I was talking about from online or in the inspired magazine, then you have to go through it all again. It’s good in some ways that they have it, but I found on a couple of occasions they’ve given me the wrong information.

    Sometimes it is hard to find the products that I’m looking for, like the app on my iPad doesn’t have everything. It's not as easy as the one like the website because you can't sort on the app. You have to go through every single one, which can be monotonous and time-consuming. But if you're looking for certain things and you know the manufacturer, you can do a search for that particular product and it's faster than having to go through every little thing.

    As far as the quality, the products are quite good because they tend to have in stores from reputable companies. However, since we've been members back in 2008, it's not as good as it used to. They have less products and services like you could no longer buy tires and shingle roofing. They also used to carry Weber barbecues and some building materials. And then now, they closed a number of locations like the one in Pickering. I have to drive all the way to Markham which is 45 minutes away.

    And while you can save a lot on some items like windows, certain things can cost more because of fees such as the 8% admin fee. If you’re buying small items like iron, teapot, or other small appliances like mini choppers and food processors, there's no benefit to go through DirectBuy for those kinds of things. By the time you pay the freight and the delivery charge to the warehouse and then the 8% fee, you can buy it at Sears for almost the same price on sale. Then you got to go and pick it up in Toronto.

    Still, I would recommend DirectBuy, especially for young people if they're just starting out with their house and having a baby. You can save a lot of money. And if you own a home and you're going to do a lot of renovation, it's well worth it. While I wished they had continued carrying some of the items that they’ve dropped, which you can really benefit from, the downside is that the upfront membership cost would be high. So for a lot of young people starting out, they say it’s too expensive to buy into.

    But I've told each one of my kids that they should have it. They say they don’t want to spend that kind of money and there's the $250 fee every year. In the end, they tell me that since I’ve got one, they can just get me to buy stuff for them. One last thing I would say though, the staff at DirectBuy locations are always very friendly and helpful. I've never had that experience in the nine years we’ve been members that someone’s been rude or ticked us off. They really are interested in looking after their members and they're always polite and courteous.

Most of the stuff that I bought has been top-end stuff at a really good price. They're really good when I phone up for anything. I bought a microwave from Sears because they offered a better price. When I told DirectBuy about it, they beat the price. However, I wish they had an expo in the northern area. There's nothing here and I got to go all the way to Toronto all the time.

    When the delivery issue ended up in the paid up goods being not delivered and taken back by the delivery crew yesterday, we were undergoing severe stress and going back and forth with many personnel in the Club as well as in the freight carriers' office via phone calls with no resolve at all, until Anthony from "Member Relations" pitched in today; He listened to the entire issue and went through all information including my mails and after a thorough research coordinated with all concerned and not only resolved the issue satisfactorily but promptly arranged for the concerned delivery department person to take care of the delivery who confirmed it via phone and Anthony himself followed up again. Overall, honestly, Anthony turned the whole issue into a pleasant experience not only by resolving my issue but also convinced me to continue with DirectBuy! He definitely deserves all sincere appreciation!!

    I signed up with DirectBuy 12 years ago. We were building a building in Peachland in the Okanagan and we needed to buy products for it. We went to the store and purchased light fixtures and extra equipment. It has changed now and I’m not fond of the whole emailing back and forth which takes longer. I could just call and they'll give you an answer. The products were good and of good value and people were nice.

    When I first started out, I spent a lot of money with my DirectBuy discount and it was highly appreciated. I got a 4,000 square-foot house that's filled with furniture and other goody-goody type of stuff out of DirectBuy including washer, dryer, refrigerator, some flooring, a lot of furniture, some design stuff, a lot of sporting goods related type of stuff, and some outdoor maintenance things like a snow door. I also painted that entire house with two to six coats of paint that I bought at Sherwin-Williams with 40% discount. When I wanted to buy another $400 or $500 in paint after discount, I had an initial problem with Sherwin-Williams. I called their headquarters as a DirectBuy member and the next day I went and showed up to the store, the problem went away. That was a long time ago and all that paint was all bought on DirectBuy membership.

    I've been a DirectBuy member for 10 years and I've been very satisfied. Their products are all lasting and they offer high-end and high quality stuff or provide discounts to companies where I can go and pick out the high-end and high quality product that I want and get reasonable discounts on it. DirectBuy pretty much gave me what and when I wanted. But they're a little late in some areas as far as offerings for outdoor equipment and sporting goods so they may want to look for a better solution or a bigger discount for their members. They need to bring back their male-oriented side and not just offer furniture and fluffy, beautiful products. Also, there're a couple of other techie-type companies I would like to see added or get a discount from, like Grizzly Tools and one company that sells a particular type of table saw.

    DirectBuy's initial membership fee is steep and they should be able to reduce it since they're not running stores. They would find more rewards by doing that as they get more people on the scales and more of them buying with better prices. I understand that a lot of real estate is expensive and I would rather have the price cuts, so I can order direct online and get even better deals.

    About my purchase: I bought a EQ3 chair featured in the Inspired Canada Spring 2017 publication. Unbeknownst to me at the time, it is a lower end product from this manufacturer. I did not understand that genuine leather, being the only choice available, is the lowest quality of all real leather. Had the swatch been available to view at the DirectBuy Design Centre, I would have passed on this purchase. This chair would not be the standard I like in the living room, which is furnished with a stylish Brownstone sectional and a Calligaris TV bench, both ordered previously from DirectBuy.

    The Problem: The chair arrived 8 weeks after I placed the order. I knew I made a mistake as soon as I saw the low-end leather on the back of the chair. Also, it was slanted on one side, and the cushioning of the seat was too thin, because when I sat down, I could feel the hard bottom panel toward the back of my rear end. In my opinion, EQ3 is very overpriced for the quality they can deliver.

    I waited over a month for EQ3's technician to come. Chris was very helpful and pleasant, and solved the problems by adding a piece of material to the slanted side of the chair stand to make it more level, and putting a small pillow I have inside the chair to give it more cushioning. Chris's help was 5 stars. About the support of the Merchandise Specialist: Toni responded quickly to my request for help. She was responsive and professional, and I appreciate that. In summary, I would give 1 star for the product and 5 stars for the support, so the experience averaged 3 stars.

    We had seen some advertisements quite a few years ago when we first got started and then we went for one of those consultations. We ended up signing up with DirectBuy. We’ve done anything from small items up to our appliances and bedding and for the most part my purchasing experience was not too bad. It has even been quite a bit better now that they brought that concierge shopping online. Sometimes, we get some really good people who dive into the project with us and then, some guys are a little bit more not so detailed. Also, most of the time, the quality of the products is quite good.

    The cost is comparable considering they don't have a warehouse in the Saskatoon area anymore. They use a company called Jay’s Moving, and that’s quite a hassle considering I’m two hours out of the city. When a project comes in, they expect you to pick it up right away and it’s not worth for me to travel four hours and spend all that fuel just to get a $20 item off their shelf without being charged the extra cost. So, that’s quite a headache as of lately since they’ve done that. The shipping cost is absolutely retarded to try and get a $12 item, I’m paying 35 bucks in shipping charges. It’s ridiculous as far as that goes. Also, 80% of the items that you want to look for are shipped to the warehouse. Some companies will ship to your address which is nice. But most of the time, they have to ship to the warehouse no matter what, so it costs you the same. It has become quite a hassle and I'm thinking about not even renewing.

    A friend that used DirectBuy when they built a house told us about them. We were going to renovate a house completely so we signed up and we've been members for two years now. We did the kitchen, two bathrooms and pretty much the entire house except for a couple of rooms through DirectBuy and they're really good for renovating. But purchasing over the internet was confusing. We would think that the items were purchased, but they weren’t, so the timing had set back some of our renos a little bit. It would improve the process to be able to order items online, go to payment directly then get email updates on payment confirmation and delivery time.

    We really liked the products we bought through DirectBuy because we were able to get higher quality products that we wouldn't have been able to afford through regular purchasing using box stores. But we found some items to be priced in a way that we might as well just go to a box store. So we were very careful in choosing which items we could save on and which we couldn’t. DirectBuy's pricing isn’t consistent across the product line so they weren't always the place we went to for products. Overall, there were occasional hiccups that were kind of frustrating but we’d still recommend DirectBuy. We’ve told friends that if they were going to do renos or build a house, DirectBuy’s a way to go and that we saved with them. But people should be cautious and do some research first before purchasing. Talking with a rep has helped us out a lot, be it by going to the store or going online and getting somebody to talk to in real time.

    Back when I was getting ready to purchase a home, I knew that I was going to need lots of stuff. I've been with DirectBuy for 13 years and they used to do a lot of advertising when I first bought it. I have purchased appliances, flooring, window coverings and some jewelry. They've all been of excellent quality. The system of purchasing is very different now though. Back then, it used to be the showroom and now it's all online. The showroom was challenging because it was overwhelming but with the new system, I find what I need, I talk to the concierge people and make sure that we're all on the same page. And it's been really easy. I was about to cancel but decided to re-up for some reason. Then my wife decided we needed a new house, so it was a good decision again.

    I joined DirectBuy five years ago and I never had an opportunity to use it then. When I moved to Pittsburgh, I needed to get some work done so, I tried to find a DirectBuy dealer. I found the DB Designs but they said DirectBuy had stopped contracts with everyone. So, I called up the DirectBuy number I had and I dealt with the people by phone to purchase the hardwood floors I wanted.

    I did a lot of shopping. The woman that had worked for DirectBuy showed me different floors and gave me prices. She helped me out quite a bit and she told me she'd get back to me which she did. It was fast and it was well done. On the other hand, I thought that it's not the best price that I could get. So, I called all around different places and did all kinds of searching. Without a doubt, DirectBuy was the best price, the same materials and it's very nice. I have purchased 2,500 square feet of hardwood floor for my downstairs remodeling project. The quality is outstanding and everybody who sees the floors says it's the most beautiful floor they've ever seen. I'm also waiting to get a quote from them on some other things.

    DirectBuy also went into that membership with a travel partner and that seems to be pretty good. I plan to take advantage of that in the future.

As a member I was never told about the bankruptcy or that they lost our local delivery warehouse, I was also never told our local club was closing. Having a local warehouse meant local pick-up and no $90 home delivery fee. Here's the run down on DB. They offer the most expensive items at a discount, most of which normal people don't buy. Unless you're buying a club exclusive, don't bother shopping here. Most things you want you can find online cheaper or the same price without paying a yearly or monthly club fee.

    They say that you will save up to 30% off, but with all of their fees and delivery fees you save nothing. It's becoming a bit of a scam in some respects. Their Fees will destroy Any savings. It's just not what it used to be and frankly I don't think they'll be around much longer. They seem to be trying to get what they can before they collapse. Join At Your Own Risk.

Yesterday, I Requested a quote on a mirror and (with all added fees) was quoted $480. I can buy it locally for $465.
