...I have held a Debenhams card for some time now – and have advanced through the ranks to a Gold card (with a credit limit of nearly £5,000 - Aaargh the temptation!). With the customary bumf you get sent with this kind of thing there was an advert for the Debenhams Direct catalogue so I sent of the form to try it. You could also order the catalogue via the website or customer services in a Debenhams store.
The catalogue will arrive within a ... ...stuff.
The Designers at Debenhams are prolific in here, with Jasper Conran, John Rocha, Matthew Williamson and Pearce II Fionda amongst many others – all providing affordable and highly fashionable designs. Also, from personal experience, the quality of this ‘designer’ merchandise is of the highest class, though I haven’t tried all of them! Prices do vary, but you can easily get items from all their ranges starting at about ...

Advantages: Great intro offers! Friendly staff! Disadvantages: Bit pricey!
Debenhams Direct is a new, or perhaps, not that new now, service from Debenhams, the countries leading department store. (Their words not mine!)
I received their Spring Summer 2004 catalogue within a week of ordering. It is not as massive and chunky as other mail order catalogues can be, with less than 550 pages of clothes for all the family, and items for the home.
I was offered 10% off my first order and 250 Nectar points. (See later on in review!).
... ...In my opinion, the Debenhams catalogue would perhaps suit the 'professional woman', if that is the right phrase to use. Although there are a few casual items, they are always on the verge of being classy! The majority of the catalogue is very smart or elegant wear, with evening dresses to die for. I consider the new range of swimwear to be the best I have seen this season, with basic styles in basic colours along witht the new tankini sets.
The ...

...purchase my bridesmaid dresses from Debenhams and very quickly hit a few snags so I had to use the Debenhams To You service, so it is that aspect of "home shopping" that I am reviewing.
First off, I did manage to buy 3 of my required dresses from local stores (which is when they got me to join the Store Card program and get 10% discount for the next 7 days, thus ensuring that when I found the other dress I could still use the discount), but the ... ...break, I rang up the Debenhams To You number. According to the spiel, they will:
"Can't find what you want in your size or colour? With Debenhams To You order service we can help you find the item and send it straight to your home or even reserve it in the store of your choice for collection."
There is, of course, a delivery fee of about £4, but with the store card if you spend over a certain amount on the order, there is no delivery fee. I rang ...

Advantages: Great fashion, brilliant catalogue for all ages and a broad range of prices Disadvantages: £3.50 postage and packaging , bad associated couriers, Returning goods doesn't seem as simple as advised.
...do I think of the Debenhams direct? One of the best catalogues on my floor. With great up to date fashionable clothes, colourful, exciting well presented wearable combinations. I'd rather look in here then a fashion magazine. The clothes are for all ages, from different suppliers such as Jasper Conran, John Rocha, Jeff Banks, The Look, Wallis, Principles, Warehouse, Spirit, Anne Brookes amongst many others From formal to casual. All the relevant ... ...most affordable are from the debenhams own branded range and the most expensive is the formal wear and the Jeff banks range. Prices on ladies clothes can vary from above £10 (t-shirts) to over £100 (formal dresses). Ordering on the internet or through the catalogue allows you to receive regular offers of discounts such as 10% of your first order. Debenhams tends to have various one day sales in stores. You are able to benefit from these sales when ...

Quick review of Debenhams Direct
I am disgusted at the service I have received. I placed an order, it arrived in part. Some of it was wrong, the rest was very poor quality. I then wanted to send everything back, but it took over a fortnight before Debenhams got their act together and collected my goods. For that collection I had to stay in all day Saturday and the parcels were finally collected at 4.00pm. I am a gold card customer and that used to mean something at Debenhams, but not with Debenhams Direct. I will never buy anything from Debenhams on line again. ...

Advantages: None so far Disadvantages: They took our money, no delivery, no product, 4 months later.
...metal frame sofa bed from Debenhams Direct in July 2007. The sofa bed was supposed to be delivered in two weeks but after two weeks nothing had arrived and we phoned Debenhams. They said that the sofa bed was on it's way and would be delivered in the next few days. More time passed, no sofa bed. More excuses, more promises about it being delivered at specific dates. It is now the 12th of October and we have not heard anything from Debenhams for two ... ...we have phones. After phoning Debenhams today we were told the same old story of unavailability of the product coupled with delivery problems. We told them to just refund us the cost of the sofa bed as we are now fed up with their excuses.
I will not buy from Debenhams Direct again and will write a review on every website I find as I feel other people should be spared the grief of such pathetic service. ...

Advantages: Customer service phone line worked Disadvantages: Wasted my time for no result
Bad experience with Debenhams store card. Whenever I bought something from Debenhams I am harassed to buy their famous store card and get a one week 10% discount on all purchases. Well, when I wanted to buy a sofa bed from Debenhams direct I thought now its worth it to get the card and use the 10% discount. I went to a customer service personnel in store and asked if the discount applies on my particular purchase, she said wait here a minute, left ... ...the discount to buy through Debenhams Direct if I phone them instead of ordering online. So I agreed to resume the application for the store card just to find out at the end she was applying for a store credit card instead which I never wanted-. Luckily her computer system said that I wasnt eligible for the credit card and just approved the store card for me so this was my only lucky moment that day-. After exactly 35 very stressful minutes with ...

Advantages: Excellent Intuitive website with good photographs and stock availability. Disadvantages: Full colour range not shown.
...received 2 ladies jumpers from Debenhams and am pleased with both items.
The website was easy to use, with all the clothes categerised; I was looking specifically for V necked jumpers, and got to them easily.
The clothes came up as thumbnails which could be enlargened, and it was possible to search within the category by brand, size, colour and price range. On selecting an item you are asked to choose your size from a drop down box, at which point ... ...stock. My only critisism is that If you choose a colour other than that illustrated, unfortunately the photograph does not change to show that colour.
I ordered on a Friday and they came on Tuesday so no complaints there.
The goods came with a proper invoice, and a free paid returns label should I have wanted to reject the items.
In conclusion, a very satisfying shopping experience which I would be happy to repeat and to recommend to others. ...
