Re: Direct Buy
No - but am occasionally interested in how it all works.
Made contact with them not long after we had arrived in Canada - and they would only set up an appointment for mr and mrs m - which got my back up immediately I'm afraid (I'm as capable of spending our money as we are )- and also no kids - which was impossible as we didn't know anyone here!
That kind of put me off really and we never went back.

Re: Direct Buy
We were interested until we looked into it, then watched the Marketplace report. Prudent shopping and Costco works for me.

Hi Louise - don't know if you have found Surplus Freight but we have bought some great stuff from them in Calgary at pretty good prices. I can vouch for their beds!! They do have a branch in Halifax ..... J

Re: Direct Buy
We just googled Direct Buy - that was enough to put us off, anything that requires money up front makes us run a mile.

Re: Direct Buy
We have been in here and to be honest a lot of the stuff is really overpriced..crap.lol. And the sales men follow you around the whole time - which brings out the evil side of me as I hate being pestered whilst shopping!

Blimey it's a minefield isn't it! I hate being pestered too
yeah you're right, think I'll stick to Craigslist and Kijiji!

It can be a bit embarrassing but it seems to work - he uses a very loud "outside" voice

Re: Direct Buy
LOL We must have hit them at a good time - our beds are fantastic and they were a really good price. My OH is pretty good in stores like that - whenever he walks into a store like The Brick (which is very, very, rare .. ) he immediately looks for a salesman and instructs them that he is only there to look and he will find them if he has a question

Re: Direct Buy
If you only have one or two things to buy, then the membership isn't worth it.
