UK shoppers have always enjoyed a huge selection of quality mail-order catalogues to choose from. Back in the 1970's, stores such as Argos created a whole new way of shopping on the British high-street by building "catalogue stores" - high-street shops without the usual aisle upon aisle of products, but a new concept where shoppers simply browsed in-store catalogues and ordered right away, usually being able to take their purchase away with them. Argos have now also created an extensive website - www.argos.co.uk - where you'll find thousands more bargains.
The trusty mail-order companies, have also joined the Internet shopping revolution, and where once the names of companies such as Kays and Gratton were confined to a thousand-page glossy paper catalogue, you'll now find them amongst the leaders in online UK shopping. The UK catalogue companies, at one time synonymous with not much more than their mail-order catalogues, have generally adapted more quickly and more successfully to the Internet, than their high-street counterparts. The Shop Direct Group has a leading role in UK Internet commerce, maintaining control of many famous catalogue brands, including Kays Catalogue, Great Universal, Choice, Additions Direct, abound Catalogue, Marshall Ward, Innovations Catalogue, Home Free, Morses Catalogue and Reality. At the websites of these online catalogue stores, you'll generally find not only everything that is in the respective paper catalogue, but also much more. You'll also often find special offers and prices that are not available in the equivalent mail-order catalogue. There are, of course, many other UK catalogue companies - Grattons Catalogue and JD Williams & Company Limited to name just a couple. Here too, you'll find reasonable prices and a good selection of products to choose from. Many of these UK catalogue websites tend to have a similar look and feel - but prices for similar, if not identical, goods can vary considerably, so shop wisely and take a look around before you buy. However, for good prices, easy-to-navigate website and good customer service then you'll not go wrong if you shop online at Kays Catalogue - probably the leader amongst similar sites. Many traditional stores have now done a role-reversal, and are catching up to the idea that having a printed catalogue is not such a bad idea. With that in mind, then you'll also find stores such as Debenhams listed below, where you can order the Debenhams Direct Catalogue. Littlewoods, similarly have an excellent online store, where the Littlewoods Catalogue is also available to order. |
