  - The company has responded to complaints by disputing allegations and stating that retail stores do not sell at manufacturer cost prices. The company maintains that typical savings on furniture are in the range of 30-50%, after shipping and handling.
  - On February 3, 2005, Direct Buy's franchisor in Merrillville, Indiana contacted this Better Business Bureau stating that the Bureau inquiries pertain to the corporate headquarter's relationship with their manufacturers and suppliers. The local franchisees are not party to establishing vendor relationships nor are they authorized to disclose any information that would breach either applicable law or their franchise agreements. The company also stated the proof the Bureau is requesting is beyond the limits of what they can provide.
