Additional considerations that are very important: Shipping Costs Return policy Restocking fees Warranty Online reviews sometimes sway my decision This message was edited Oct 13, 2007 9:17 AM TwinLakesChef OC, CA & Twin Lakes , IA (Zone 4b) October 13, 2007 10:16 AM Post #4078332 What I would mostly like to know is if any DGer has ever had a good experience with DirectBuy [HYPERLINK@www.directbuy.com] ecrane3 Dublin, CA (Zone 9a) October 13, 2007 10:39 AM Post #4078389 There was a good discussion of Direct Buy on one of the other home forums--let me see if I can remember which forum it was in and I'll come back and post a link. In case I don't remember where it was, the general thought seemed to be that if you were building a new house and had to completely furnish it, or if you were doing a complete remodel/redecorate, then it might be worthwhile, but if you're doing something smaller scale, you won't save enough to make it worth the fees. ecrane3 Dublin, CA (Zone 9a) October 13, 2007 11:05 AM Post #4078466 Here's the thread [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com] TwinLakesChef OC, CA & Twin Lakes , IA (Zone 4b) October 13, 2007 11:45 AM Post #4078570 Thanks; that is an interesting thread. TwinLakesChef OC, CA & Twin Lakes , IA (Zone 4b) October 13, 2007 12:36 PM Post #4078718 Thanks ecrane; that was a good thread. mpark Jacksonville, NC February 25, 2008 5:30 PM Post #4587374 For prices and estimates of home remodeling, I'd suggest going to [HYPERLINK@www.remodeling-guru.com.] I recently used it for my basement - and it saves a lot of time of finding good and inexpensive contractors, because they find contractors for you within your price range. I found them very reliable and made the process of remodeling my whole basement painless. you should check out their estimator calculator. you just pick what you plan on remodeling and your city and it'll give you an estimate for free TwinLakesChef OC, CA & Twin Lakes , IA (Zone 4b) February 25, 2008 7:27 PM Post #4587856 Thanks for the tip
