Advantages: SHOP TILL YOU DROP AT HOME, LOADS OF CHOICE, DELIVERED
Disadvantages: NONE ENCOUNTERED YET

Up until about 2 years ago, I was what was known as an Internet shopping virgin. Most, if not all of my shopping was done offline and this suited me down to the ground. I am very fussy when it comes to carrying out purchases, I like to see and touch what I buy, but this all changed at the touch of a button. After the birth of my second child, we had moved house, settling into a more rural location. The nearest large shopping centre was about an ...
...do with just our local town. The shops there were plentiful, and you could get more or less everything you desire, but for larger department stores travelling was a necessity. A couple of weeks before Christmas I saw myself without a car. The turbo decided to die on me in my hour of need.

Britain’s favourite department store is now online. Or, to be more precise, it has been online for a bit, but I’ve only just got round to visiting. It’s GE Capital’s fault, you see. They are the bank who issue Debenhams (and Arcadia) storecards and send out the statements each month. Last week I received my latest bill (not too high since they only trust me with, wait for it, a £250 credit limit) and in their new news section, ...
...Debenhams staff buying on their staff credit cards can now enjoy a 10% discount on stuff ordered online / over the phone. Up until now we’d only been given discounts in store, but now with opportunity to save some more money, I had to have a look. ** Website Facilities ** (1) Shopping What would a shop’s website be without the ability to buy things?

Disadvantages: so much to see

Debenhams combines leading national and international brands as well as it’s own brands and exclusive contracts with many leading British designers, such as Jasper Conran. I am not a particular fan of the high street store of Debenhams, so was pleasantly surprised by their on-line facility. The first thing you will notice when you first visit, is that the site is very understated, no frills and no annoying flashing adverts here to distract ...

She had been depressed following these operations and the situation has been compounded by the fact that she was unable to attend our recent wedding due to illness. After speaking to her last week, we decided to order some flowers in attempt to cheer her up.
