Littlewoods

...so, a catalogue such as Littlewoods is extremely handy. The company manages several different catalogues such as Janet Frazer, and also has high-street branches in most towns, along with Littlewoods Extra stores run in a similar fashion to Argos. They also do finance, like loans and credit cards. The product I'm reviewing here is their main mail-order catalogue. I'll just warn you now, this review has turned out a lot longer then planned, because ...
...get yourself an account with Littlewoods is amazingly easy. You can call them, apply online or fill out a form from either a promotional leaflet or a friends' catalogue. (Contact details at the bottom of the review). Just remember that you are authorising them to carry out a credit check on you if you apply, as the whole idea of a catalogue is based on credit - you can order goods now and pay for them interest-free over a period of 20 or 38 weeks, ...

Review of Littlewoods

...interested in applying for a Littlewoods catalogue, after a short conversation with her I decided to apply for it, She took a few details from me such as name, date of birth and address etc, she give me a leaflet which entitled me to £15 of my first order and advised me that the catalogue should arrive within a few days. Other ways you can obtain a Littlewoods catalogue is to give them a call, go to their website or a friends recommendation. Two ...

Review of Littlewoods

...I myself have run a Littlewoods catalogue for quite a few years now and to tell you the truth, I find this catalogue about the best there is, they have some excellent goods included in their catalogues and often have sales that are totally unbelievable, with goods going for up to 60% off. I myself was recommended to the catalogue via my girlfriend (and she received a nice £25 knocked off her balance thrown into the bargain) and at first I never ...
...but as time went by, loads of orders came in (via friends and family) and my commission began to mount up. You see, when you run a catalogue you receive 10% cash or 12.5% goods commission on all sales i.e. should you get £1,000 in orders, you get a nice £100 just for the sake of collecting payments and ordering stuff for them, easy money if you ask me. I have also become a select member of this catalogue now, and with this I regularly receive some ...

Review of Littlewoods

I started an account with Littlewoods in about 1998, and carried it through to about 2000. I will never have an account with them again and I will tell you why. To start with, admittedly everything was fine, until one day I ordered two items for my daughter, a skirt, and a pair of trainers. I received neither, just a letter to say stock was being delayed. Fine. Until I got my statement and found I had been charged for both items. I rang customer ...
...reordered both items for me (which I did then receive). Ok so that was a minor hiccup, and everything would have been fine if it weren't for my friend ordering a vaccum cleaner from my catalogue. It broke within about a month, so I phoned customer services again and we sent it back, and they sent us a replacement. This one lasted about a day before sparks came out the back (slightly dangerous don't you think). Again I phoned customer services,but ...

Review of Littlewoods

The Littlewoods current advertising campaign is keen to make us believe that Littlewoods Would, due to my recent experiences with this store I feel that a more appropriate slogan for Littlewoods advertising campaign would be Littlewoods Won't, don't and couldn't care less anyway. Before I begin I must apologise if this opinion is in the wrong place - You see my nightmare experiences began when I opened an account with the Littlewoods Index mail order ...
...a purchase in my local Littlewoods Store in Portsmouth and was offered a mail order catalogue and a form to complete to open a Littlewoods Flexible Account, at the time I purchased a lot of items in Littlewoods and decided it would be a good idea to open an account especially as they were offering 90 days interest free credit on the account. For about 2½ years I had no problems with the account - other than the fact that like many others I found ...

Review of Littlewoods

...or two adverse comments about Littlewoods on the Ciao, and like most folk I could probably find something negative to say, afterall they are like most other catalogue companies, expensive, but offering a service....however as a point of interest I thought that I would highlight a bit of a discrepency between the Catalogue and their website... I have been an account holder of Littlewoods for about 18 months, I have bought one or two items from them ...

Review of Littlewoods

...I decided to search the Littlewoods catalogue, in which I found the laptop I was looking for. This was also on the Littlewoods website. The laptop I wanted was £379, and I was looking to take the laptop out over 152 weeks, which with the interest totalled around £525. I contacted Littlewoods to see if I could open an account and get a sufficient credit limit. I was told by an operator that their new membership systems were down, and that someone ...
...fact, at 6pm I called Littlewoods again, and was told that the items hadn't even left the depot! I got a half-hearted apology that I had been misinformed. I more recently ordered an LCD TV, which I took the day off for. I spoke to someone who assured me that the item had been received at my local depot, and that I would be receiving it today. I even used Littlewoods automated service which told me the same thing. Only by chance I called them, and ...

I used to shop in littlewoods stores untill there closure 2 years ago which is when i resorted to using there catalogue. Littlewoods catalogue has a large variety of womens, mens and childrens clothes along with a large choice of household items, during the summer they have a gardening section and in the winter they have a christmas section along with a toy section. My littlewoods orders are usually delivered within 3 days, i then have 14 days ...

Items under £50 you can pay for over 20 weeks interest free, items over £50 you can pay for over either 20 weeks or 52 weeks interest free. If the item you ordered is more tham ...

Review of Littlewoods

Littlewoods is really a proper High Street shop, but for this opinion I’m reviewing just their catalogue service (note category). They offer several catalogues in fact - the classic Littlewoods catalogue (mostly fashion), the relatively new LX (mostly designer brand-ware stuff I think) and a much more general one that goes by the name of Index (this is what I‘m really focusing my review on). You can find Littlewoods and all these catalogues on the ...
...out the exact relation between Littlewoods and Index. Sometimes you’ll find a shop called Index, sometimes Index trades from a small section in a Littlewoods Extra store (this is how it is in the Oxford branch I visited). If you don’t want to use the internet and can’t reach a shop, you can also order by phone on 08457 444 444 (8am-8pm at weekends, 8am-9pm weekdays). You can also ring and reserve on 0905 5890 xxx (where the 3xs are a store specific ...

Review of Littlewoods

...on an electrical appliance from Littlewoods Mail Order catalogue. I purchased my first Dyson Vacuum for £215 over 4 years ago from my Littlewoods catalogue. I also paid £52.00 to extend the warranty from 2 to 5 years. I thought this was a good idea at the time because it would only cost me a £1 per week for 52 weeks. The insurance certificate came and I just filed it away with my other papers. When my vacuum decided to set itself on fire a few ...

I rang Littlewoods and explained the position and was told as it was beyond repair all I would need to do was sign the form they were sending me and I could order a replacement vacuum from the catalogue. The form came and it stated I could order a replacement up to the value of £200. I checked in my Littlewoods catalogue and the price of a Dyson vacuum started at £240. I rang Littlewoods to query this and I was told this was ...

Review of Littlewoods

...We have been shopping with littlewoods for a long time now some few years. To say the service has been impressive and products have been good and received on time. We have ordered several items from littlewoods and they turn out all right. �What are little woods?� Well, littlewoods as from what I know are a big company who owns Index, and some other shops to name. They specialise in all sorts of products and have a few littlewood shops around the ...
...the catalogue?� Like I said Littlewoods sell most products who would expect to buy from clothes to televisions to cycles. "The All Inclusive Catalogue" like it says on the autumn and winter 2001 catalogue. They say they offer: FREE delivery, FREE returns, FREE credit, And FREE 14-day approval. And yes that is true because as I have ordered with Littlewoods I have been offered free delivery, free returns and the rest. I was unpleased by a product ...

...to have one of their Littlewoods catalogues. I felt sorry for her, and was suckered into saying yes. Boy, do I regret it! I opened an account with the purchase of a shirt. So far so good. I had no qualms about this order at all, but then - how many qualms can a person have about a shirt? Well that's what I thought about an innocent lace curtain set. How wrong can a girl be? I ordered this inoffensive item and was informed upon ordering that it ...

Upon trying them at my window, I decided I did not really like them, and so telephoned the customer service line to request some returns labels. The customer services lady was extremely helpful. "Do you realise Miss Clarkson, that a courier will call at your house and collect the goods at no extra cost to you?" I did not. I was ...
