Don't make our mistake

We attended their presentation and after some calculation decided to pay for the membership which was $4990. We wanted to update our kitchen and bathroom cabinets, as well as bedroom furniture. We put down about $1000, and the rest was financed through their lender Beta Finance.

A month later we started planning our purchases and realized we were about to pay more by buying through them than we would otherwise. What the don't tell you on their presentation is that while you save about 10% on furniture they add 8 % handling charge in addition to 7% tax, and that doesn't include shipping.

I am now trying to get our membership money back. Do not become a member! Buy from other stores.

      I have been a member for 10 years and I feel I have saved a lot of money.  one must be smart.  I check the prices on line for the product, then Direct Buy's Price.  Yes there are some items that are not a deal, but I researched my plumbing items, to include online and in stores.  I saved 43% on each item,   I also bought lights, found them in a store, they cost $2000, I paid $700.  Shop smart.  I could go on, but you get my point.

    Thank you Trudy.

    You are so right, 98 pages of complaints still isn't swaying DB to give refunds and they continue to take people for $6K every single day.

    If letters, and requesting to cancel within 3 days etc. are not working, my solution is to crank up the heat and send so many complaints to Dateline NBC that they expose the problem on National TV.  

    I'm not trying to create a SMOKESCREEN by no means, I'm just tryng to help and the best way I know how to get something done is to cause a big ruckus about it.  

    I believe there is a chance here to get some action if everyone jumps in the boat and rows in the same direction.

    a real good   expos'e  ( which would never get the light of day)  is why  none of the media does a story on db.

    shame on the media for putting ad money above the public good

    BUYER BEWARE. FYI to potential customers. You do have access to the vendor list until after the cancelleation period has expired. Their vendor list is not what I thought it would be. I expected recognizable name brands. It appears many companies will not do business this way.

    So, on the promise of access to well known and established manufacturers,
    I signed my contract April 28, 2010. I did not get a "sign in" until after the three day cancellation time frame. When I saw the vendor list, I was disappointed and cancelled at 9 days. No response. So I went in the store and was told "Sorry, you signed a binding agreement". Then I got the letter from Beta Finance.

    Another FYI, Beta and DB are owned by the same people.

    I contacted the San Diego attorney John Davis. There are 4 pending class action cases.

    The CT case is in the settlement process and the other 3 are stayed pending this settlement.

    CT ref: Wilson, et al. v. Direct Buy, Inc.,  et al., No. 3:09-cv-590-JCH (D. Conn.)

    For Californians the USDC case is:
    Ganezer, et al. v. Direct Buy, Inc., et al., No. CV08-08666 GAF (RCx) (CD Cal.)

    My advice: get on board. I advised Beta Finance to back off.

    I am out $490. Whether I get it back or not is up in the air.

    Tell everyone DB is not what they lead you to believe.

    I posted that I had the vendor list under "free stuff" on craigslist and the posting was immediately tagged.

    HI DEBBIE
    Feel free to post the vendor's list here, Please!
    This is the only legit site left, where we do not need an e-mail address
    probably the main reason that I am still here, almost 2 years now,
    & we still can't stop the scum!!!!!!
    but we have gotten some refunds here, & encouraged everyone to fight back!
    & INFORMED PEOPLE OF THEIR RIGHTS, & THE LAWS

    IF YOU GOOGLE:  CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW

    There is a Guide to California Law  (by Weblocator)
              Contract Law.... MISTAKE, DURESS & FRAUD

              undue pressure to join ---
              INTENTIONAL MISRESPRESENTATION OF AN IMPORTANT ISSUE               OF                 CONTRACT,                    CONTRACT FRAUD CAN MAKE A CONTRACT VOIDABLE

    UNCONSCIONABILITY-- CONTRACT is grossly unfair, biased in favour of db

    THESE are the most used tactics by db (SOUND TOO FAMILIAR?????)

    ...NOT  bound by verbal statements, but would not dare put their lies in writing........the whole details of the contract are MISSING IN ACTION.....

    YOU might like to send them a Registered letter, adding the law & INC. the specific details of how they misrepresented the contract to you


    let us know how things are progressing....Good LUCK!!!!!!

    I can't begin to thank all of you for your support.  I'm on the warpath  here in FL.  The membership has been bought almost a year ago.  Time to pounce.  

    I've looked into the FL Consumers Protection Act and trying to perfect a bit of legalese?  (Figuring out the laws is not my forte')
     Also have a lawyer 'noodling' DB store.  Once I can make sense of the laws (need the lawyer's help) then my ltr is going out certified to DB and DB owner will have one angry but prepared woman to deal with.  
     With Trudy's help I know it's really worth the time and effort.  Especially since we are out $5,500 for their "GOLD" membership.
     All I've read and studied on this site is revealing DB sales presentations & tactics are all the same.  They say the same and give all people the same rigamarow.  
    They're phonies and professional con artists..  DON'T JOIN>>>>>

    interesting  you should mention db in san diego

    Hi Trudy!

    I really need your help. I sent DB a certified letter and cc it to the
    Governor’s Office of Consumer Affairs. DB responded back with a bunch of lies. They also said that they want me to call them to resolve the issue but, I don't want to call them and they tell me that they can't give me a refund. The Gov. office sent me a letter and said it seems like they want to resolve the problem and that there is nothing that they can do. They suggested to me taking DB to small claims if they refuse to resolve this matter. I also sent my complaint to a news station and I figured that they would get back to me but they haven't. I've tried to get a pro bono lawyer but, they all take 15 clients first come first served. Anytime I call the line is busy. I really need you help. I've responsed to this site a couple of times and most times I don't get a response. Help me because I feel like giving up.

    REALLY ?  you mean shifts of same people ?  she should set up a camera and turn it over to DATEline.  We had a room full of people at our presentation and I've always wondered what became of them.  We waited with another couple before the prez and chatted a bit.  They also were planning to remodel.  They lived near MacDill AFB (military) and wanted to save money.  I sure hope they didn't join.  I've asked our closer at the store one time if we could get back together with the folks who joined that day and compare ideas of shopping.  He blew me off of course, after remarking "that's a good idea".

      Chepita replies to Debbie M
      The above list is no longer accurate.  I joined a group in 1992 when it was called "United Consumers Club" (UCC) where the consumers were the impetus for its founding. It was a low-key industrial building in an unassuming industrial park with folding tables, folding chairs, a small refrigerator on a back wall with sodas and water with an honor system to put 25 cents in a box.  No real computer system but all the really great companies with their wholesalers' catalogs and wonderful people behind the main desk who knew almost every catalog or where they could find and help you find what you were looking for.  The membership was costly for a young couple with two children but very manageable by paying $50 a month until the membership was paid off-I cannot remember for how long but that didn't matter because we were able to start immediately ordering, or at least going to UCC as a journey a couple of times each month with or without the children-the kids would have a great time with the catalogs figuring out their bedrooms.  Every major company was present from the best furniture and appliance companies.

      Forward to the 2000s and we had gone from  a true "United Consumers Club" to "United Consumers Club-Direct Buy" to "UCC-Direct Buy" and finally "Direct Buy" and thus began its downfall.  It no longer was for consumers but for corporate profits and that meant convincing members to take a franchise and franchising began with requiring new owners of each to create fancy showrooms costing upwards of investment money that in reality the new owners would never get back.  As time went by many of the franchisees seemed to order everything that members had paid for but these monies were never paid to the vendors and the orders would arrive at the showrooms and the vendors never got paid because the money paid by members had been used to pay off the showrooms and the owners' cost for the franchise.  How do I know-because one day I saw an article in the Washington Post about Direct Buy going into bankruptcy.  I was in the process of ordering for a major renovation of my home and I did use Direct Buy Corporate's staff since all the showrooms had been closed by Direct Buy all members had to work through Corporate's staff.  In reality, they did have to keep some control of the company by having this large Corporate staff from designers to advocates.  When I had read about the bankruptcy,  as I said I was working with Corporate staff and I had a great relationship with one staff member and I asked about the bankruptcy and I was told everything and how desperate the owners were trying to keep it afloat.  A short time later, "ABC" tech company bought all Direct Buy debt, and thus the new "Direct Buy" became about 2017/18.

      By the time the tech company acquired the company, ALL THE BEST COMPANIES HAD LEFT BUT in 2018, Kohler was the first major company to rejoin Direct Buy but the companies that I had joined for were no longer available. I recently bought through Direct Buy and I will continue to buy when I have established where the best price is.  Much furniture today is sold "as is", meaning you have no choice about finish or materials, etc., and many companies that Direct Buy also sells to stores such as Wayfair who order massive quantities of the very same item and so they get great discounts some of which are passed onto to the purchaser who has no choices and who wants something, anything quickly.  Many of the manufacturers of today's Direct Buy will give choices to Direct Buy members who then wait the usual time for custom pieces at great prices.

      Today's Direct Buy gave me a chance to purchase memberships for my adult children for just the annual dues and after the first "free year" for my children, they pick up their own annual dues which are reasonable.  This is my history with Direct Buy and today I have made good relationships with the Concierge agents that I work with and go back to them often,
