Read full reviewWhat is Purchasing Power?
Purchasing Power is a financing program that lets employees of participating companies make purchases without credit checks, late fees or interest charges. The company offers products from several top brands in home entertainment, appliances, fashion and more. Employees get their items upfront then make fixed payments for six to 12 months.
How does Purchasing Power work?
Companies pay Purchasing Power to get employee access to its interest-free program for appliance, technology, clothing, furniture and automotive purchases. An employee must have an account through an employer to view available discounts, products and pricing. You can sign up online to get started — once you make your first purchase, Purchasing Power deducts installments from your paycheck for six to 12 months to cover the cost.

Purchasing Power has been very convenient and at the same time, producing good quality items. But sometimes, items may be shipped wrongly or may be misshipped with video games. It's bad. There was a game that I had to have misshipped two times. It was horrible. I want to return the dumbbell and the only issue I have is the return label. When you go to UPS and try to print it out, UPS can never send it out. I found that if you call Purchasing Power directly and just have them send the label to whatever UPS that customer's at, that process is a lot better. But other than that, Purchasing Power is awesome.
I really use Purchasing Power as a good option. But they could step up their Nike selection a little bit instead of selling out so fast in size 13 shoes. You have to go on their website and check daily. But I do too much to be able to check. They could have a feature in their app or they could send an email sent when the item comes back. Also, the customer's credit could be raised a little bit higher based on how long somebody has been with the company. I've been with them five years but my credit could be raised a lot higher. If it was raised a lot higher, that means shopping a lot more.

Purchasing Power has been amazing. We had a little hiccup when we merged with different companies. The payments weren't coming out like they used to out of my check. So, I called customer service and talked to somebody. I was paying with my debit card. But everything is smooth sailing now. The customer service was amazing. He listened to everything I had to say, gave me my options, and he was like, “Hey, I'm gonna keep calling you every two weeks until you get paid to see if you're capable of paying it.” If not, I could give him a date to where I can pay so I can lessen my stuff. He said he's still working on fixing the issue.
It's just the colognes that I used to get from them are no longer there. There are different varieties of Creed, and the Paco Rabanne 1 Million is my favorite. That is the only two that I really wanted, but they're not on there anymore. Other than that, everything’s been perfect with the quality of their products. It's like you walk into the store and buy something. They come in at a reasonable time. A lot of times, I can order it on Monday morning, and I get tracking the same day or first thing Tuesday. I never had any issues whatsoever with any item I purchased from there. Everything has been smooth sailing.
Purchasing Power allows you to buy stuff, and the reality is there's no interest but they tack on a little bit, ‘cause they have to make some money. I like the fact that I know I'm not gonna pay any more than what I got. It tells me upfront. It doesn't say you got $700 worth of interest tacked on at the end. It breaks it down into a long enough period of time that’s feasible to make payments.
I purchased a cruise and I haven't taken it, but the boat looks really nice. I also bought an electronic robot that mops and vacuums as a Mother's Day gift. When I purchased though, I made a mistake because I had somebody (Lindsey) who sent me a referral at the beginning. I work for Rockdale County Schools and the entire school system uses that program, but you have to work for nine months. When I started getting an email, I forgot about Lindsey's email and she didn't get her referral bonus when I made my first purchase.
I usually use Purchasing Power because it allows me to do my payments over time. I’ve purchased all kinds of things. I got a television, a gaming system, jewelry, toys for my grandkids, outdoor games and furniture. Ordering seems to be pretty straightforward for me. I don't usually have any problems because I'm familiar with it. The delivery’s been great. I was very impressed this year. I ordered all the toys and everything I was going to order for my grandkids through Purchasing Power because I was afraid of the supply issues that were happening. So a few weeks back, I ordered everything all at once for both children, had it sent in and even before the money started coming out of my paycheck, I was seeing deliveries. So, I was really impressed that they were happening so quickly.
Also, the quality of the items is really good. I like the quality. I've usually shared about Purchasing Power with all my friends and family. I have people ask me all the time, “How are you able to do that?” I always tell them that it's very easy. There's a lot of variety. The prices tend to be comparable. It may be slightly higher than what you would find in retail and stores. But I don't have to bother with interest rates on my credit cards and things like that. So, I'm very pleased that I don't have to worry about that aspect of it.
I ordered an electric fireplace from PurchasingPower.com and everything was perfect. But I just got a new dresser and it was not perfect. It has a hole on the bottom. I told the people that delivered it that I would have to check it all out. And they said, "No, they just do threshold delivery." It was just disappointing to get that and it weighed 150 pounds. So, it wasn't something I could lift by myself. They shined a light through the holes and said, "It looks fine. I'm not happy about this." The guy did notate that the box had two holes on the packing on his shipper information. It has a gouge in one of the drawers and a crack and a big hole on the bottom. It didn't affect the drawers, it's just that false bottom that goes across just to give it a finished look. But it looks like a forklift went through it. It obviously happened during the shipping.
I couldn't even use a regular box cutter on it. It was like this heavy-duty box. So, I left work to meet the delivery team and had to go back to work. So, when I got home that evening, that's when it all came to light. I took pictures and I went online to where I could go to make that known. I've emailed them a couple of different times and I've put all that information in there, but no one has contacted me. Other than that, I love the quality of my purchases. The furniture and process themselves are wonderful. And the dresser is really heavy and bigger than I thought it would be. So, I was very pleased with that.
It was very easy to use them. But the prices are a little high. It could be a little better.
PurchasingPower is one of the benefits the company where I work offers. It's a very convenient tool to have, and a lot of people here at my place of employment use it. Purchasing is fairly easy, and I can set up small monthly payments directly out of my paycheck until whatever I purchased is paid off. I bought my son, my grandson, and myself a computer each, and I didn't have to go out to the store to look at them. All the specs are on their website. I let my son and my grandson select what they wanted then I clicked on them and the payments were automatically set up. I pay a bit more, but with the small payments that they are, I really don't even think about it. I would tell people to use PurchasingPower.
I bought a few things from Purchasing Power and the terms were great. Everything's really simple. Everything that I asked about was explained to me. I would tell others to try it.
Thank you very much for your kind words, Edward. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us.
I got a plane ticket from Purchasing Power that I'll be using tomorrow morning. I did everything online. I had no delays. I paid off my ticket early and I had no problems. So far, it's a nice experience. I will recommend Purchasing Power.
I got two other laptops from Purchasing Power. The service is great. It’s quick and easy. I like it.
