Traditionally, wholesalers and manufacturers have sold products to retail stores in bulk. The stores would pay one price for the items, then add their “markup” and sell to consumers at a higher price. This retail markup includes covering inventory costs, local sales costs, the cost of the distribution chain for a retailer, and the local store’s profits or commissions. Because the retailer has to be concerned with his or her own inventory costs and even shelf space, retailers often must limit their selection to the items they know will generate higher profits, but reducing their selection. DirectBuy utilizes the buying power of our hundreds of thousands of members to allow you to buy at a lower cost. Because of DirectBuy’s model, you have the choice of a wide selection and you likely will pay less.
You can use your DirectBuy membership to achieve the lifestyle you desire. DirectBuy provides you with a gateway to accessing a massive selection in products. And if you need help in designing the perfect living room, laying out your new kitchen, or simply selecting the best mattress for your remodeled bedroom, DirectBuy is here to help.
You can use your DirectBuy membership for items large and small: electronics, kitchen appliances, furniture, jewelry, cabinets, flooring, home decor, fitness gear, apparel and more. Just about anything you can buy for your home in a retail store or online, from DirectBuy. Plus, you have access to design consultants, manufacturer resources, and a network of local contractors to assist in achieving the right matches for your specific style and decor tastes.
Once you have selected and ordered your products, an associate can help you coordinate delivery. Most products can be delivered right to your home. Others are delivered to DirectBuy warehouses, as some manufacturers are not able to schedule home delivery. From there, you can arrange for re-delivery to your home, pick your items up, or arrange for short-term storage if you are expecting additional deliveries. Some additional charges may apply.
There’s more, though. DirectBuy’s Platinum members can take advantage of DirectBuy Travel, which offers a broad range of dream vacation packages. With access to cruises, golf resorts, mountain getaways, beachfront villas and more, DirectBuy Travel offers the savings you’d expect from DirectBuy, but applied to vacations for families, couples or singles.

The U.S. Census Bureau* and Statistics Canada** put the average retail markup on home furnishings at 45 percent. This includes all store-based "sales," "closeouts," and "specials." On average, then, you could wind up paying nearly one and a half times the cost of an item.
