Breaking the law/discrimination
Complaint
Janice
Country: United States
I worked for them last year. They discriminate against the elderly. They also are running a promotion which is illegal. I'm going to the attorney general to prove my case. I read the script for one month and there was an article in the Columbus Dispatch about them. I'm going to put them out of business with what I can document about them. I can prove what I'm saying because I worked there.

F u ck you direct Buy.
DO *NOT* JOIN DIRECTBUY IN COLUMBUS, OR ANYWHERE!!!! This place is such a total scam!
We went to their location in Worthington and didn't join because of their HIGH PRESSURE TACTICS!!! They said we could only join then or NEVER. We didn't join and decided to test their "one time only" tactics and went to their other location in Hilliard and joined a year later only to have them shut down without any notice in 2009 and run off with our $5,000 membership! We then shopped at their other location by the airport only to have it shut down in 2010 without any notice. This place is just ripping you off of your $5,000 membership. It's a pyramid scheme at its finest!!!! They lied about the join "now or never policy" and then they ran off with my money. RUN!!!!! DO NOT JOIN DIRECT BUY IN COLUMBUS!!!!
I have no doubt they will try to open again in Columbus sometime soon. It's all about the greed of getting other people to join and then running off with their money. I did some research. Just Google what happend to DirectBuy in California to see that what I'm saying is true. They don't do what they promise and if you become a member then you are throwing your money away!!
ake over while my family goes hungry because DirectBuy ripped me off!!!

And to Janice who originally posted the comment in 2008: I don't know if you will get this or not, but I hope you shut them dowm for good!!!
We are now in the process of remodeling the kitchen in our new home. I actually visited the Dayton location to price some big ticket items and was told the new Columbus Direct Buy location would be open in a few weeks.
I have found that if you plan to buy high end items, DB can save you a lot of money. If you would rather spend less, shop around and buy off the shelves in local stores or over the internet. It really depends on what you are looking to buy.
So, even though two locations closed in the Columbus area, a new one is supposed to be opening soon and you can order many items via their website.
P.S. I don't work for them nor am I a salesperson.
