From the stories I've read, it can be hit/miss. I've actually got a motobecane that I picked up on craigslist dirt cheap. I put a new fork on it which substantially increased my investment, but it rides great. I've never had to deal with bikesdirect though.
Try to get something with at least a Tora fork.
