Direct Buy Informative - Buyer beware! - Buying a kitchen at Direct Buy

Buying a kitchen at Direct Buy
Review by Trying to be helpful on 2009-12-01
MICHIGAN -- The commercial says how much you will save. Well guess what a few of the clubs in Michigan do? They use a "local/Michigan cabinet dealer" to sell the same national brands that ALL the Direct Buys in the country sell. They do this because if a product is sold through DB but comes from a local vendor then DB can charge whatever they want for delivery. Customers are charged a large upcharge for delivery (a 20% markup) and roll it into your final price but keep the cabinet prices a notch below what a retail establishment sells them for. So you are getting a great bargain. Ha ha the cabinet dealer and club owner are making a profit from this delivery process & have for years. It does not go against the rules of DB because of the clause of being able to use a local dealer for some items. The truth? You are getting ripped off & I guarantee your same kitchen priced at an out of state club would be cheaper.
