Company details

  1. Alternative Financial Service

Written by the company

Purchasing Power offers an industry-leading employee purchase program. From its inception, the company has helped private and public employees buy important products through installment payments via payroll deduction. We’ve always been more than an employee store; our goal as a voluntary benefit provider is to help people build a better life. Our payroll deduction purchasing program was one of the first of its kind. Originally we sold only computers, but over the years we expanded our catalog to include thousands of products and services--from electronics to major appliances, from furniture to vacation packages--made easier through automatic paycheck deduction.

Customer service is terrible

Customer service is terrible. I ordered a coat on December 6th, and on January 14th they told me it was out of stock and that the order was canceled. I used the extra holiday incentive to be able to purchase it,so now that the incentive is over, I don't have enough to purchase a different coat! Why did they not ship it in December when it was still in stock?! Instead they waited over 5 weeks, and by then it was gone! I tried asking for help twice, but English is not their first language and I didn't get any answers.
I am being overcharged every week too! The order packet shows it will be paid in 26 payments, but they charge you the amount it would be if you pay in 24 payments. What's up with that?!

Vicki, because of the nature of our drop-ship business model, we work with a variety of distribution partners. Therefore, individual items in your order may not ship out as soon as the order is placed. The vendor will be in control of the shipping and handling of the merchandise. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Way over priced charged 620 for a 3night hotel stay. The rooms were $88-$98 a night. They can’t tell us where the additional $300 is coming from. We called and are getting no where. Better business bureau we need answers. We were telling them we didn’t get the room we paid for. Not at all. Upon check in the room was totally different

Our price point may be higher than traditional pricing since while you receive the product upfront, we provide the option to pay for it over time or else immediately at the same price. This allows our customers to pay overtime for the products they need with no escalating fees or credit checks. Additionally, our display price regularly includes a first-class warranty, and we frequently offer promotions. Please get in touch with us on (888) 923-6236 and we'd be happy to assist you.

iPhone Advertised as UNLOCKED but NOT!!!

Product physical appearance was not poor. My issue is with Purchasing Power itself and its poor marketing! I ordered and received a phone that was advertised as being “Unlocked” but instead it was not unlocked. In the settings of this “new iphone 16 Pro Max” it actually states “ This device might be restricted to the original carrier and/or have certain capabilities limited. Contact your provider for more info.” I contacted my phone carrier and was told that this was not an unlocked phone, that my phone service could not be transferred to this phone because of this. I then contacted Purchasing Power. The first rep I spoke with troubleshooted but then confirmed & apologized that the phone was not unlocked. He then transferred me to his supervisor who suggested that maybe the phone needed a factory reset because sometimes this can be an issue. I asked why would a new phone need a factory reset. He assured this would take care of the issue, so I did a factory reset. When that failed, the supervisor admitted that this was a mistake on Purchasing Power and gave me the option to return for a refund and or repurchase. He also assured this would not happen a 2nd time if I decided to reorder. However, I’m very skeptical about ordering another phone m out of fear that i’ll receive another phone that’s not unlocked. I will most likely reorder another iphone 16 Pro Max phone just to see if the supervisor’s word is true. If not, I will make my way to the courthouse. Thank you Purchasing Power for causing me to let down my god-child on Christmas Day as this was the gift she was most excited about opening.

I recently made several purchases with Purchasing Power, and from selecting the items that I wanted to having the order processed and all the up to date follow up throughout the delivery process has been absolutely flawless. I would highly recommend Purchasing Power to anyone.

I love Purchasing Power

I love Purchasing Power, I haven’t had any real issues with them. Products have been very good quality. I would say on their vacation packages make sure you understand all the rules for cancellation. Other than that amazing company to work with and customer service is great.
