They have recently been rebranded to LX Direct 'Littlewoods Extra Direct' I suppose. This was one of the first websites I purchased from online. They focus mainly on clothing, even though you can find items in most categories of a catalogue. They do offer big savings on many big name brands for clothes. I purchased three Fila t-shirts from them for under £15 the other week. On the high street i would have been lucky to buy one for this price. The only gripe i have about the site is it's not the easiest to browse. I find it a bit of a mess compared to some other sites i've used. And i constantly get emails from this site even though I never asked for one. This seems a problem with alot of sites I buy from.

If you want to buy from categories clothes to gardening equipment, you will find this catalogue such extremely handy. The Littlewoods company now manages several different catalogues, and like Argos has high-street branches in most large towns and cities. They also offer store finance, loans and credit cards (i've been advised store cards are a bad idea from a friend, high apr payments). The site like the catalogue is split into sections for various items. This makes it easy to find items. Then there are sub-sections, for example exclusive designers in the ladies fashion section. You may also find offers occationally such as "three for the price of two". I've just signed up to the Clearance Club - for £10 a year. You the get the first editions of sale leaflets. You then get first pick on all their sale and discounts. I did this because a friend warned me they tend to sell out extremely quickly.

My only experience with company was a nightmare experience, which began when I opened an account with the mail order catalogue section. I havent used the website, and have no plans to either. I made a purchase about 3 years ago by phone with their mail order catalogue. At the same time I opened an account offering 90 days interest free credit. I had 2½ years with no problems (a word of warning, the interest on these account is extremely high, with an APR of around 29%). The problems started when i had a bad experience I wont go into here at my local store. I then sent a cheque and letter to the head office to close my account with them. The enclosed cheque was for full and final settlement of my account. What occured then was unbelievable, I had Littlewoods phoning up saying they were checking the account for fraud, due to me paying the full amount. Now if my account was debited that amount I could understand it. But what fraudster would pay £800 of my debt off. This took months to sort out, and at the end of it they offered me a £10 voucher.
