My wife and I joined DirectBuy and were told that we would be able to get a ton of savings on just about everything. We were about to do some major remodeling in our house and thought that this would be a good way to save a couple of bucks. We were wrong about that.

We joined DirectBuy and thought it would be a good idea because we thought we could save some money on a couple of big purchases. We called to get a air conditioner installed and the quote we got was the highest out of anyone we talked to. No savings there. We then wanted to purchase a new washer and dryer and then found out that with the shipping cost and everything, we could have just bought it at any local store for the same price.
