Rip-off Report Investigation:
EDitors UPDATE: Positive Rating and Recognition has been given to DirectBuy for its Commitment to Excellence in customer service.
Rip-off Reports investigation of DirectBuy uncovers an ongoing commitment to total client satisfaction. This means that clients can expect the company will always work towards finding a mutually satisfactory resolution to any complaints or concerns in the past, present or future. DirectBuy pledges to help members and guests realize their dreams through exceptional customer experiences and unparalleled savings, service, and selection.
The Rip-Off Report Investigation revealed a demonstrated commitment by DirectBuy to providing excellent customer service and resolving customer issues. They achieve this through several means, including a recent partnership with customer service experts to actively survey their members and guests and make changes that improve their processes and ensure a uniform exceptional experience for every customer. To address the most common concerns, DirectBuy recently started offering free trial memberships at participating club locations, as well as additional tiers and terms of membership to meet a broader range of household budgets.
The Investigation also showed that DirectBuy members are renewing their memberships at record rates, indicating members are still very satisfied with the value they receive through DirectBuys home furnishings and home improvement products and services. DirectBuy is one of the largest consumer buying clubs of its kind, and we are convinced they are dedicated to using feedback from customers to continually improve their policies and procedures.
One DirectBuy executive explained about their many changes stating, We have a team of service support specialists available specifically to address concerns from members and guests who visit Rip-Off Report. We want to ensure that their experiences with DirectBuy are positive, whether they join or not." Should you require this assistance, please contact them at DirectBuyHELP@directbuy.com Provide your name, the date of your issue, and the name of the location you visited. If you are a member, please include your member number if available.
Given DirectBuys commitment to excellent customer service, they were alarmed by some of the complaints lodged with Rip-off Report. Rip-off Report found that most complaints about DirectBuy were made by non-members who were critical of the cost of membership and the policy that a decision about membership must be made the same day of the open house visit. The policy is there to protect the manufacturers. It ensures their confidential pricing cannot be used by non-members to negotiate better deals with retail stores, thereby protecting the best possible pricing to members. The policy has not changed, but as stated above, new tiers and terms of membership are being offered at participating club locations
DIRECT BUY recognizes that complaints posted on Rip-off Report (true or not) are issues that need to be addressed and if handled correctly can be valuable learning opportunities. With the feedback generated by Rip-off Reports Investigation DirectBuy has made the necessary organizational changes to allow their members a more streamlined approach to problem resolution and a total overall commitment to customer experience. As one senior executive stated, We have learned that even the most committed companies can make mistakes, but if you really pay attention, you can learn from them. Weve adjusted policies to please both members and manufacturers, and we hope that anyone who has further suggestions on how we can improve our services will contact us with their ideas.
In summary, after our investigation, which included discussions with DirectBuy Senior Management, Rip-off Report is convinced that the company has been and is committed to quality delivery of services resulting in total client satisfaction.

NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED
=====================
Direct Buy BEING HARASSED BY A SCAM ARTIST Cincinnati Ohio
When I signed up with Direct Buy I was never informed that I could not cancel my membership. This was not disclose to me when I joined a few months ago. Since I joined my finances have changed and no longer can afford the membership fee. Instead of Direct By trying to accomodate my budget, I started receiving threatening phone calls from their financial reps. They threatened that they will start going after my assests and they almost cost me my job because of harassing phone calls at work.
I placed one order through Direct Buy which I was not happy about. After paying in full for my order, I received a phone call from the sales office informing me that my order would not be delivered until 7 months later. In fact the order came within two months and I was given 2 days to pick up my order, which I wasn't expecting to arrive until later. My order was incomplete due to damages upon delivery and I was told that the missing mirror and bed post would be reordered.
I haven't received my full order and it has been over 3 months since they reordered the damage goods. However, I am still receiving threatening phone calls from their finance office. I was never given a tour of the building and they have terrible customer service. Whenever I visit the show case to obtain assistance there is never anyone around to assist. They promised factory prices but their prices were the same as other local stores.
I regret ever signing with this company and due to their harassment, terrible customer service and not completing my order I want to draw my membership.
I would love to participate in a law suit against them. I was suckered into this membership and I would like out now.
