i just want you to know my friend had a membership with this company it cost her $5000.00 canadian. they have pressure sales people who usually persuade you to sign up for a membership right on the spot , thats why they want your husband to show up. my friend lived a long way from their nearest store and was told he could buy online , what they didnt tell him was the high shipping cost and restocking costs and a few other costs. so in the end they saved nothing , when i redo my kitchen i want it done for around $20,000 not to save $20.000 so unless you can light your cigar with $100,00 bills stay away from these guys ..and for extra information market place done a show on these guys . after the show they didnt advertise for a while . now people have forgot they are back at it i see..just beware every 1

Actually, I've never even set foot in the showroom and am unlikely to ever do so based on a 10 minute conversation with an agent. We are currently undergoing extensive renovations on our home and have been shopping around for everything from appliances to whirlpool tubs. Someone mentionned Direct Buy based on the ads that are pervasive on some TV channels. I found the web site this week and provided my contact information to set up a visitor's pass. A young man (a Mr Pfeiffer) called several times and we managed to have a conversation a few minutes ago. He was most gracious and seemed upfront (but don't even ask about fees over the phone) until he asked me for my husband's name. I told him that considering that we have a young child and would need to come in from out of town, it would be unlikely that my husband would come to the sales pitch. Mr Pfeiffer than proceeded to ask if we couldn't get a guardian for our child and when I assured him I would be coming on my own, proceeded to tell me that he couldn't issue an invitation to me without the name of my husband. I actually started to laugh and said are you telling me that I am unable to make a decision without my husband or that money isn't good enough for you?! To which he replied that if I were to be spending a couple thousands of dollars in a day in would be better to have my husband present. I then proceeded to inform him that I have, on several occasions, spent thousands of dollars (cars, appliances, house)in a day prior to meeting my husband and even without him once we were married. I can not belive that a company operating in Canada would have the audacity to discriminate against women in such a blatant way. Has anyone else been discriminated against by this company? I've already left a message with their Operations Manager (Linda 613-749-2700) and will be reminding her of a little thing called the Canadian Human Rights Commission. Our reno will definitely run upwards of 100K, that's atleast 50K coming from my own pocket that this company will never see. Just google this company before even considering opening lines of communications. Although I'm completely POd at the moment, I am infinitely grateful to be so before having given them any money (surely not cheap) and being asked that my husband approve the colour I've chosen for the couch (sic)
