Direct Buy,anyone a member?

[Fonzy]

I seen the direct buy commercial on the tv the other day and was curious if anyone was a member,is it worth it to become a member? or is it a scam?

The reason I'm asking is I have a lot of renovation to do to my house,siding,floors,kitchen..etc I'm looking for the cheapest place to get materials and furniture.

here's the website...

My parents became members when they were building their house. They ended up getting most of their materials from regular retail stores because of sales that popped up here and there on most building supplies. They regret getting the membership. Everything you order from their stock, you must add shipping as well. Returning things is a nightmare as well. I think my mom adds like 25% to every price when she buys stuff. Don't know if it IS a scam, but my parent do regret it.

I am disgusted. To many lies and lots of guys form DB kiss asses. Is this a superstore for rich people? If this is true then DB should say on their TV advertise. Are you obligated to have membership for two or 10 years? In Toronto, we have some golf clubs which are not different from others but they specify membership $70,000 a year. Do the marketing for the rich people.. That is not working. I saw rich buying rich and a headhunter buying all his stuff from Wall Mart. Remember one thing –PEOPLE ARE SENSITIVE AT PRICE.
