Studio - Excellent Catalogue / Website

Advantages: Loads of gift ideas & cheaper than most shops
Disadvantages: Sometimes delivery can take a long time

...the sites I looked where £65 per set but on Studio they where only £32.99 so I got my two sets for what I would have been paying for one & they are also on Quidco so you get can even more money back buy going through them. The catalogue has loads and loads of choices from Garden Furniture, clothes, electricals, toys & games, homeware & gifts (the list goes on). If you are looking for a little something for a birthday, new baby etc this is a good site to look at because you can get a lot of personalised gifts on it so you can have mugs, photo frames, towels etc etc with the persons name on it. You can order a couple of different ways, either pick something out of the catalogue & fill in the order form they send with it & post it off or you can go onto there website www.24studio.co.uk & order it through there. You can also pay for everthing...

Review of Studio Catalogue

Amazon.co.uk

Advantages: Wide Range, Cheap, Quick Delivery
Disadvantages: Cheap Looking Site

...I've only quite recently begun shopping with Amazon, the main reason being receiving vouchers from survey sites and from on here. It's now one of the first sites I look at when making a purchase. ~~~ Products ~~~ Amazon.co.uk stocks a massive variety of products. So far everything I have searched for has been available to buy on the site, although most of the things have been quite common like DVD's and games. I can't think of anywhere that stocks as much stuff as Amazon, maybe not even Ebay. ~~~ Prices ~~~ The prices on Amazon are very competitive and are usually the cheapest place to but DVD's and games, again being usually cheaper than Ebay, I have no doubt that this is the case for many other products. The main down side is that cash back sites don't offer cash back for Amazon, or am I on the wrong cash back site...

Amazon.co.uk

Advantages: Easy shopping trip
Disadvantages: none

...I have used Amazon.co.uk many times and have never been let down by them. When you click on www.amazon.co.uk you are greeted with a well presented home page, offering many different items, from books to television. **THE LOOK OF THE SITE** The site is well laid out and everything is split into categories depending on what you are looking for. Or you can narrow your search by typing in exactly what you're looking for. I found the site easy to navigate and simple to find a wide choice of items I was looking for. **BECOMING A MEMBER** This is a simple task and only takes a matter of minutes. You click on 'new customer? start here and are instantly taken to the 'sign in page. (If you are already a member you simply input your e-mail address and password) If not then you should click on the 'no, I am a new customer.' Then you...

Amazon.co.uk

Advantages: Wide choice and easy to use
Disadvantages: Wishlists disappear

...I am sure there is no one here who would not know what Amazon.co.uk is, but, on the off chance... Amazon.co.uk is a website that started originally as an online book store. Now over the years it has grown and developed to sell a whole range of items. Including, Electrics, DVD's, CD's, Appliances, Toys, Games and many more. Layout and Navigation ---------------------------- Amazon.co .uk has an orange/blue and white theme throughout; it's clear and well laid out. There is a search bar at the top of the page to type in what it is you're looking for. You can narrow this down by category. One feature I really like about Amazon is the suggestions that appear on screen, you can see what other people who brought the product you are viewing also looked at, so if you have similar tastes, might show you a great product to go with what...

Advantages: +Reasonable prices +Easy to use +Marketplace +search function
Disadvantages: -Delivery rates

...Basics Amazon started out as an online bookshop, now they sell a huge range of products, from music to watches! Layout and design/Navigation The site is layed out in a fairly "busy" way, theres alot of content on the main page. At the top is the amazon.co.uk banner with the wish list, your account and help links. Then below is a search bar and above this are 15 tabs which link to all the sub-pages. Below this is a sign in bar. Then there is the main page. On the left of the main page is a box, which allows you to browse to all the main product categories.

* Going French with my Catalogue *

Advantages: Free gifts, big selection, easy to order and prompt delivery
Disadvantages: Junk mail

...La Redoute. I've always loved their clothes. As I used to live in Belgium, we had their catalogues all the times. From tiny tot to 23, I've always worn clothes from La Redoute. La Redoute have been in UK for 11 years now and are part of the Redcats' group, who are the world's 3rd largest home shopping organisation. Others in this group in the UK are Empirestores, Daxon and Vertbaudet. But what is La Redoute? La Redoute is foremost a catalogue company. Then they branched out online and got their own website. In France, they even have shops, which means you can actually try on the clothes in the catalogue but unfortunately, they don't in this country. La Redoute is known all over the world. They have their catalogue and websites in 15 different countries including USA. Nobody knew what I was talking about when I said Oh yay...

Review of redoute.co.uk

Amazon.co.uk

Advantages: Great prices, free postage on Amazon orders over £5, easy to sell
Disadvantages: Marketplace could be better, hard to use both buyer and seller help

...(previously £15). It's really good if you're not in a hurry to get your items but if you want things fast then don't use Super Saver as it took an item I purchased more than 1 week to arrive. First Class delivery is just the standard Royal mail 1st class delivery service. It costs just £1.99 for the whole order (unless you're items are shipped separately). This is the delivery method I use most often as items tend to arrive within 2 or 3 days after ordering and the service is really cheap, especially if you buy lots of things at the same time like I do. I don't know anything about Express delivery as I've never used it. Marketplace The postage costs on the marketplace are, most of the time, too high. Here is a list of costs when sending items to the UK: * Books: £2.75 * CDs: £1.21 * Videos: £2.69 * DVDs: £1.21 * Video Games...
