Kays - as from my experience

Advantages: personal credit account with 20/40 weeks int free & cashback
Disadvantages: delivery dates are inexact on an average of 3 days

I've been a kays account holder for 4 years and since becoming a member my status with them has changed considerably. let me start with the basics. Ordering: With kays you have the choice as with many catalogues to order online, by telephone or by post. I find it most convenient to do it online but occasionaly I need to talk to an adviser. As I have found that items that are on promotion in supplement are not always the same price online this can ...
...paying with a credit/debit card or by applying for a fianace account. with the account you have the option to pay over 20 weeks or 40 weeks if the order is over £59.99. They also have a budget account option (not usually available on the first order) the budget account lets you pay on a buy now pay later term (ie march 07) and also have the items over 50 weeks this option is at a rate of 29.9% apr. I avoid taking out the budget account as when you ...

O-kays

Advantages: Pay monthly interest free
Disadvantages: Slow delivery, often out of stock

I've been a customer of kays for around 4 years now, and have, to my shame, kept some balance with the company for most of that time! Kays is a typical catalogue with womenswear, menswear, jewellery and homeware. The prices are slightly more expensive than the high street, but this is offset by the fact you pay monthly interest free, or you can pay over 100 weeks for an interest rate of around 30%, so is to be avoided if possible! Kay's is also ...
...pay online. The website is easy to navigate, with lots of choices, even down to particular brands and sizes in clothes, which makes it easier to find clothes in your size. If you're not happy, you can return the goods. This used to be through Royal Mail, but now has to be done through the courier that delivered the parcel in the first place. In Northern Ireland, they use famac, which is becoming notorious for taking your parcel around half the country ...

Catalogue from hell

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: Read the review

I had been with Kays for around 7 years and had ordered many things as I had over a £3000 credit limit,that proves that. The last item I ordered was in July 2004 (not that long ago) I placed an order around 2 weeks ago and was advised that my account had a foreclosure on it ?.I said to the adviser I had not ask for my account to be closed and had not recieved any letters advising me of this fact. I emailed them and ask them where my order was,and ...
...back to the catalogue,that they had decided to close my account and not send me anymore catalogues or accept any more orders from me. Has I said in the replying email to them,"what am I supposed to do if a customer does not want the item,keep it so I don' t offend the catalogue by sending it back".Its just the sneeky way they have went about it,doing it all behind my back without sending me any letters advising me what they were going to do.Just ...

Sorry, our system doesn't work that way!

Advantages: Quick to order. (quick to take your money!)
Disadvantages: Never get the products!, abusive customer service advisors, impersonal responses, lying staff, underhanded practices (in my opinion, without concrete proof!!) - just so you dont sue me!

UPDATE: THIS OPINION HAS BEEN COPIED TO THE BUYER BEWARE SECTION! THANKS FOR ALL THE COMMENTS Kays suck! - I just needed to get that out of the way! My story is a simple one, DONT ORDER ANYTHING BIG FROM KAYS! We ordered a rear-projection 49" TV costing £1,499.99 and was dissapointed to say the least when we were told we had to wait 'up-to' six weeks giving us the cut off date as 30th of October. So we waited.................. and waited.................and ...
...would be delivered on Wednesday the 27th of October. We then noticed on our account via the web, it had been cancelled so we rang their 'help-line', manned (or womanned!) by complete retards that know nothing about their jobs and dont care about their PAYING customers. We were passed on and fobbed off countless times. Told we'd be rung back and they didn't, gave us false promises and much more. All this time we were dealing with their in-bred cousins, ...

Online or via Phone: Shop at home!

Advantages: Easy to use website from a reliable company
Disadvantages: Couple of glitches in the system

...over So, what is Kays.net then? www.kays.net is the website for the company. On this site you can browse the catalogue, check out your latest offers, get specific online deals, check out the discount zone (specially reduced items for which they also send out regular magazines detailing offer items that are basically being discontinued and/or out of season and/or are in varied hard-to-sell sizes etc), place an order and go to the ‘my account’ section: ...
...your account and your cashback totals and also look at your archive of your statements or change details to your account such as billing address etc. You can also use this section to make bill payments and/or claim your cashback. The layout of the site is fairly straight forward. You have tabs to take you through the catalogue sections you want to investigate, and prompts to guide you through the ordering process: terms of payment, the list of options, ...

Service not O-Kay

Advantages: Good products at reasonable prices, interest free credit
Disadvantages: Service has been declining of late

I have been a Kays customer for about 18 months and do all my shopping online at either kays.com (formerly kays.net) or their sister site kayslifestyle.co.uk. KAYS LIFESTYLE: This is the new sister site to kays.com where you can find some Kays products at cheaper prices. Originally I understood this to be a perk for existing Account Holders which seemed like a reasonable idea, until I found that anyone can use the site to make purchases by credit/debit ...
...whole purpose of the site as far as I am concerned. Why have 2 websites showing the same products at 2 different prices? You can't even get the whole range on the new site and those that are on there they are often the same price as on kays.com, though some are cheaper. WEBSITE: The websites are fairly easy to use, with all the products laid out clearly in different sections (ie womens clothing, mens, household, beauty products etc) and then subdivided ...

Pages and pages of stuff for all tastes

Advantages: 20% off first order, cashback on all purchases, wide choice of products, excellent delivery service
Disadvantages: some can be dearer even with the cashback

I have been a member of Kays now for over two years and I am not a regular shopper with them but when I do shop I never have any problems with them and their services. Kays is like any other catalogue. You order on credit terms and receive a monthly statement showing you all the transactions you made that month, what payments have been received and what is still owed. You can shop with Kays by phone and on the internet 24 hours a day. It is safe ...
...padlock symbol on their site. This basically means the site is secure and all your details, including your card details are protected against fraud and misuse. They send you two catalogues a year and it is packed full of womens, teenagers, mens and toddlers fashion and also things for the home such as hi-fi's, tables, bedding, towels, curtains, furniture, ovens etc. They also send you promotions and special offers through the post. They are always ...

Don't Delay Buy today

Advantages: Do your shopping without leaving home
Disadvantages: Returning an item if it isn't suitable

Kays.net I have been a customer with Kays for quite a few years now. Last year my husband built me a computer and connected me to a modem so I could explore the Internet. I soon found that I could now browse my Kays catalogue on-line. This was fantastic news for me as the more time I spent on the Internet the less nervous I became. When I realised that I could do my mail order via the internet, I was over the moon as it meant that I could now place ...
...I found this much more preferable to a phone call as I have a young child and you can’t always give your full attention to an operator when you are being distracted by a little one needing you for something else. Ordering by mail order has always been my preference as I can take my time to look at the products rather than chase around to the High Street Shops. I will now tell you about the website itself. Kays website loads up very quickly and is ...

You stroppy little c

Advantages: quick easy convenient
Disadvantages: beware of ill tempered staff

....atalogue woman! I have been a customer of kays for over a year, I think catalogues are great!. Yes you can pay a little over the odds for some things but you can also pick up a bargain. They are so convenient and easy to use; it takes the hassle out of shopping, especially when it’s for a man. You just push the page under there nose let them chose, you order it its delivered and hey presto, a day of shunting round the shops arguing with ...
...found that they have a rather nifty web site and a great bargain sale section. So after a nice long browse I selected some rather smart bargains and proceeded to check out. All the items I had brought we half price. After I had processed the order I received an email confirming the order and the prices of each item. At this point I was happy. A few days ago I received my monthly statement as usual, but when I checked the Items all the sale items ...

Good service all round

Advantages: Site is rreally easy to use
Disadvantages: none

I have an account weith Kays catalogue and I never even realised until recently i could order on line, what a find. The site itself loads really quick and the search facility is excellent you can even browse around in the sale section. Once you have placed you order you can pay by card or open an account on line, Kays e-mail you to confirm your order, the orders are usually sent out the next day so they arrive 2-3 days after you have placed the ...

The prices of the things they sell are really good value and quality too, they sell everything from clothing to garden furniture. ...

Make shopping easier

Advantages: makes it easy to place an order
Disadvantages: non

Kays.net is a site where now you can go online to order and check the latest offers in the catalogue, and I must admit on my first visit I was very impressed. Their was nothing fancy, the site was easy to follow and the search engine was really good. The search like the catalogue is divided into section for instance men, women, sportswear, children etc, from their you select what you want and it takes a minute and you have at the touch of a button ...
...confess I have not placed an order online, but that is coming next. The site does provide a chance to see what is new on the site. And sometimes you get to check new products quicker than say when you’d get them through the post. With everything these days having a web site, it does now make it easier to place an order, no more ringing up, and if you say prefer to use this method, it will help you greatly. ...

When kay reallty is for katalogue

Advantages: Excellent service and next day delivery.
Disadvantages: If you can find any, then I would be very surprised.

Kays.net is just excellent. There are many catalogue sites on the net, all claiming to be the best. Well I have now been a Kays customer for several years and was allready familiar with ordering over the phone and through the post. But nothing can compare with this fairly recent facility provided by Kays to their customers. Their site is just about second to none and its facilities leave virtually nothing to the immagination. The site has a plethora ...
...What with their 'next day delivery' and 10 percent commision on all goods delivered, Kays have been a boon to our house-hold. I am not sure how many items are readily available to online customers, but a conservative estimate is about 50,000. If you cant find anything to please on Kays.com, then you would have to be lacking. One last observation is that of customer service. Having dalt with several catalogues in the past, I can confidently say ...

Good place to buy

Advantages: good site
Disadvantages: none

Kays catalogue in my view is the best one around, it has more choice than any other catalogue and their deliveries are prompt. I have been shopping with kays for an year and I regard them very highly. The catalogue is full of things for you, your home and your family. I am one of them people that like to shop from catalogues so I have the different ones. I find kays to be the best one because simply no other catalogue has the variety as them. They ...
...free. Y ou have to be over 18, and they give you 20% of your first order or £25 to you if you recommend someone else. A catalogue which you can pick up some good bargains. They have all the top brand names when it comes to clothing for both men and women. So if you don’t have a catalogue what are you waiting for Kays is the one. You can shop online which is just the same, just order online which is fast and efficient. www.kays.net ...

clothes for small people

Advantages: None that I can see !!!
Disadvantages: Everything

I find when shopping at kays and most other shops, it is very difficult to get clothes to fit me correctly. I am 5ft2inc and a size 14/16, the waist is not a problem, it is the length. It is assumed that if you are a 14/16 you must me at least 6ft. I cannot get trousers or dresses that do not drag on the floor. I am aware that there are petet ranges, but they seem to be for sizes 8,10,12, and not above. This really annoyes me, because why can't I ...

Advantages: good layout
Disadvantages: difficult to find what you want

kays.net I use catoluges quite often especially kays, and the other day I was ordering on the telephone but no one would pick up the telephone and i tried and tried and got no answer, so i decided to visit their web page and see if i could place an order via the net. However I had difficulties, it showed offers that they were offering at low prices but I could not find where to go if you wanted to order some things. It really annoyed me and in the ...
