I worked for UCC for 4 years. I can honestly say that membership is a good investment. If you use the club properly(christmas, birthdays ect..) you will save your membership easily. It is true that there are some owners who have given UCC/DIRECT BUY a bad name, but the majority of them are good hard working people who enjoy helping people save money.

I find it a shame that people get sucked into believing that Direct buy is a scam. Before you make any decisions, dont go by what these morons are saying, check it out for yourself.

The marketing approach is to suggest that by paying several thousand dollars to join the "club" you will get access to lower prices than anyone who has not joined this "club". Unfortunately that is a mistake many people have experienced with this organization. DirectBuy

does not guarantee lower priced merchandise. There are not any guarantees whatsoever that you will ever save any money on anything.Not on furniture, not on anything.

This misconception leads people to ask for their money back. The sales strategy unfortunately includes a "No refunds" and a "no oral promises" clause. This enables this company to say whatever it takes to get you to join, including lures of tales of all the money you will save if only you were a member, and the contract allows them to keep your $3500+ membership money whether you ever save any money or not.

Beware that the membership costs $3500+ (they will finance it for you, to your detriment because you must pay for all purchases in cash, in advance. Imagine how likely it would be for a family who was unable to pay in full for the membership to be able to pay cash in advance for high dollar merchandise!)
