Playing Freemantle Doctors and Nurses!

Advantages: The best mail order catalogue around
Disadvantages: Standards have slipped over the past couple of years

...wrote an excellent review on Freemans mail order shopping catalogue. My opinion tries to give a male perspective on Freemans, which mainly caters for women. I first came across Freemans catalogue in 1988. I can recall a photograph of the Scottish pop singer Lulu on the front cover. In 1995 a few months after I got married I came across an advert for Freemans in a magazine. Eager to make my wife independent regarding buying clothes I sent off the ...
...TV or radio. The Freemans advertising talks about easy shopping, interest free credit and free delivery. Well what does the Freemans catalogue sell? Freemans sells a whole host of women's fashions. This includes denim jackets, tops, skirts, sandals, bustiers, dresses, trousers, camisoles, sweaters, Halter tops, Bermuda shorts, cardigans, mules, boob tubes, bootflares, vests, midi pants, T-shirts, tank tops, jackets, hotpants, frockcoats, catsuits, ...

...not be sure of what Freemans is, it is a Mail Order Catalogue that has been on the go now for many years. They offer a wide variety of products and service via a pay monthly service i.e. you order your goods receive them within 2 days / next day* and pay for them with up to 50 weeks interest free credit. So what does the catalogue have to offer then? I will list everything low in order as it would appear in the catalogue and I will then highlight ...

Freemans also offer an Emergency Delivery for items at a cost of £15 per item, you must again call before 12 noon and they can guarantee your items will be with you in 48 hours. Returns: ~ From time to time you just may need to return goods, however, I have never had to with Freemans.

Advantages: Good range, good customer service, lots of buy now pay later deals
Disadvantages: Prices aren't competitive, stock availability can be an issue

...high street. I’ve shopped with Freemans on and off now for about nine years. Although I only buy something once every few months, I’ve always found Freemans to be largely hassle-free. In writing this review, I’ve opted to give a summary overview of this means of shopping, with subsequent detail on aspects that I like and dislike. This is not intended to be a complete user guide to shopping, but I hope will provide the necessary detail to enable an ...

Each item is displayed in colour, with a unique reference number, which you need to quote when placing an order. Orders are despatched directly to your home, by courier, after which you have a fourteen day period in which to decide whether you want to keep ...

The shopping centre in your living room

Advantages: A veritable plethora of goods to choose from, and 14 days to decide whether you actually want them or not once they arrive
Disadvantages: Some items, e.g. electricals, are expensive

Freemans home shopping catalogue is a whopping 1100+ pages of quality, up-to-the-minute goods, all of which can be delivered to your door, free of charge, in as little as 48 hours. The catalogue itself is big and glossy. Photographs are clear (with particularly 'true' colours), items are well-labelled and descriptions tell you everything you need to know. Categories in Freemans include: Men's, women's and children's fashion and shoes Jewellery, ...
...all the big names plus Freemans own brand which is good quality and very inexpensive. There is a wide range too of jewellery/beauty products/accessories, but these do tend to be a bit on the dear side, especially the perfumes which can be bought 10-20% cheaper in Boots, and even cheaper elsewhere. Kids toys are also dearer than in places like Toys-R-Us. Ditto the electrical goods. There is an extensive stock but it is very expensive - I've seen ...

Freemans

Advantages: Cash Back and Diamond Account
Disadvantages: Ordering on the internet

I found a flyer in a magazine to get a Freeman's catalogue and thought ok i'll have a look at it, it can't harm. I have been with Freeman's for 6 months at the most and I find the catalogue good with a wide range of products but when it comes to ordering on the internet and delivery well that's another matter. I have order 4 or 5 times off the internet and every time there has been times that they say items are going to be delivered shortly and ...

It has happen twice with Men's 522 Levi jeans, I have been told they will be sent out shortly and then told "no sorry sold out" which makes me really mad. They do two accounts "Add to Account" and "Diamond Account" which are both good with the "Add to Account" you can take advantage of the buy now pay later offers, this is where you can order an item, it will be delivered ...

Good Catalogue with Fast Delivery.

Advantages: Good products for every taste.
Disadvantages: Nothing I can think of.

My dad has been a Freemans agent for years, and I can honestly say that this is one of the best catalogues around at the moment. The catalogue itself has sections for every age group from the ultra trendy, womens wear for the older woman, menswear and even baby wear. They also do a wide selection of electrical goods, household items and a childrens section, so if you are looking for a catalogue that has a little bit of everything in it, then this ...
...we get their latest sales leaflet, that has loads of bargains on household items and clothes, I have picked up quite a few bargains over the past 12 months or so, it amazes me how they make any money to be honest, because some items are price slashed at around 50%. Delivery is excellent on this catalogue, we order goods and they arrive within two days, some catalogues take forever to deliver goods, but in our area we dont seem to have a problem ...

Returning your goods

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: Poor customer services, poor admin and couriers.

...recently become a member of Freemans and I received my catalogue and saw something, or a few things I liked to order. I placed my first order and it took a long time to arrive. I waited nearly three weeks to receive my goods. Which is quite a long time, especially if I was ordering a present for someone, but luckily I wasn't. When I received my goods I was pleased with them all the only thing was 2 of them were no good and in the meantime whilst ...

don't know the meaning of customer service

Advantages: Spread costs of payments
Disadvantages: Poor customer service

...now been an agent of Freemans for two years. When i first joined i thought it was great, easy to purchase goods, quick delivery and able to spread the cost of payments if needed. My problem with Freemans arose this year. In January of this year my son was born and, like most mothers the only thing on your mind is your baby, nothing else matters. And yes i admit some payments were late and a couple even missed. When i receieved my letter from Freemans ...
...not good enough and that Freemans would would send 'heavies' to my house to sort this out ( i have to point out, i was late with a payment of £60!) and all sorts of other nasties. I the rang Freemans the following day to speak to a supervisor as the other operatar had refused to pass me over to one. I was told that a supervisor would call me back as soon as possible. I waited 24 hours before i received a call back, i explained the situation and ...

Freemans

Advantages: Good for times when cash is scarce
Disadvantages: Goods cost more than the norm

...sister is an agent for Freemans and so l was sucked into her web of mail order! To be truthful l can find Freemans hit and miss, although for times when you need to spread your payments because cash is tight it can be great! So why do l find it hit and miss? I find the product range (now lm talking clothes)at times excellent and at other times poor. Usually in a year one of the ranges (either spring/summer or autumn/winter) with fall into 1 of those ...
...Northern Ireland and like everything it takes that little bit longer to arrive! Overall, Freemans has its plus points, but like all mail order catalogues it is more expensive than the norm - but unfortunately that is the price you have to pay for spreading your payments over time. ...

Shop with complete FREEDOM

Advantages: a very handy way to shop
Disadvantages: some items can be more expensive than shops - but you have flexible paying methods

...recently become a customer with Freemans mail order catalogue ( I been a memeber for just over 1 year now). But despite my short usage of the Freemans service - I am 100% smitten and will remain a customer for as long as possible. Freemans offers a wide range of products - everything you can imagine can be found in their bumper filled catalogue - womans fashion, mens fashion, children's fashion, shoes to suit all, kitchen items, bedroom items, bathroom ...
...for you to have. Freemans also has sales catalogues which come out during the year. These catalogues contain loads of great bargains - but you must be quick to purchase the goods as sell out very quickly. Freemans has a super telephone service which is free to use, with very helpful staff at the other end of the phone line. You can also pay your bill with the telephone service if you have a credit card. Overall Freemans gets thumbs up from me - ...

Freemans. I'd say Dearmans.....

Advantages: Nice top fashion clothing etc.
Disadvantages: Great at losing packages and all staff have incompentent training in way of customer services.

...how disgusted I am with Freemans catalogue. I started as an agent with them about a year ago,although I encountered a few problems such as, wrong item's not being able to get through to customer services for days on end, I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. However it was through not being able to get through to customer services that has started off my latest upsetting incident. About three months ago they sent me a package which ...
...all I can say is Freemans have lost my custom,I shall be paying my bill but that's all from now on. The funny thing is I used to work for U.P>S ( united parcel service) and in all that time I never knew of any parcels being lost from OUR depot. But there was a rather dubious looking pile of Freemans book-in's that had no home. Makes you wonder?! ...
