Can l order online from the UK World Gift Catalogue?

Question

Having won a gift certificate for £1000 which is only redeemable from this Catalogue (UK World Gift Catalogue) l wanted to make life easier by ordering online, instead of sending for catalogue and having to wait up to 28 days for delivery of it, then ordering which presumably another wait of up to 28 days before receiving my order!

Answer 1

Exactly how did you 'win' it ?

Did you ACTUALLY enter some sort of lottery = i.e. buy a ticket ??? or did it just arrive in the post (along with a lot of other junk mail 'offers' ?)

I ask because I see them up on eBay for £9.99 and no one is bidding at all .. (so perhaps your '£1,000 voucher' is worth less than £10 in 'real money' ?)

Check the 'small print' ... in addition to paying for the Catalogue every month I expect you have to pay for P&P .. and after you give them your Credit Card details you are told you have £10 off each of your first 100 orders over £100 (or some such) .. and then every month they deduct £90 from your Credit Card to pay for the goods you (haven't) ordered ...

I also found the following :-

The voucher scheme is run by UK Incentives and Promotions.

If anyone else is interested in this voucher offer, I have found information regarding OFT action against a different company but with the same address for their registered office: The World For Less Ltd., 1 Saxon Road, Faversham, Kent ME13 8QA (this address appears on the voucher offer materials). You can read the article I found at: http://www.oft.gov.uk/News/Press+rel...005/201-05.htm

The ruling concerns inertia selling.
