I’ve just ordered from them.
Are they legit?

Thanks

Ha, did a last minute Very shop this evening too! Yeah, they’re completely legit, never had a problem with them and decent prices too.

RedHot22 · 20/12/2021 21:29

Phew - thanks Pinkflask 😊

They've been on the go for years, they're fine :)

UndeadSlut · 20/12/2021 21:31

Aren't they what used to be Littlewoods, or am I making that up?

ThankYouStavros · 20/12/2021 21:33

Yeah they’re part of the Littlewoods group, all above aboard. My mum works there!

They're the same company except very appears cheaper due to charging interest if you pay monthly.

Yep brilliant company

ComtesseDeSpair · 20/12/2021 21:40

Not connected to their products, but when I had my identity stolen and a load of purchases made in my name they were amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever spoken to so many helpful, useful customer service agents. 10/10 would have them used for my fraudulent transactions again Grin Eould assume that reflects their more general customer service as well.

RedHot22 · 20/12/2021 21:49

Thank all
I’m reassured and so happy I managed to order as out of stock everywhere else

….. and delivery before Christmas 😊

My delivery came a day early! I’ve used them a bunch of times and they’ve been fine.

GTAlogic · 20/12/2021 21:56

Yes but be very careful and do not go overboard. It took years to pay off a debt I had with them: 2 items at £35 p/m altogether for something like 2.5 or 3 years and with the interest I ended up paying almost double the price. They were helpful and friendly and my items arrived in good time and condition but please be careful about getting into debt with any catalogue or hire purchase.

Guttedbuyer · 20/12/2021 22:04

@GTAlogic you can pay things by card too? OP may well be using the credit facility but I don’t think she says that in the OP.

FOJN · 20/12/2021 22:08

I've always paid by card when I've shopped with them. I can recommend their confident curve leggings, (£15) they are the best alternative to the monsoon Penelope leggings.

CurryLover55 · 20/12/2021 22:11

ThankyouStavros I think you mean “ above board” ( predictive text)

RedHot22 · 20/12/2021 22:15

I paid by debit card
I don’t do credit. I don’t own a credit card

OP posts:
Pinkflask · 20/12/2021 22:16

I pay with card except every now and then they send me great offers like £30 off a £60 shop if you put it on account…I do that and just pay it off as soon as I can. Have never ever paid any interest!

RedHot22 · 20/12/2021 22:17

But thanks GTAlogic
A good point worth making.

OP posts:
Guttedbuyer · 20/12/2021 22:23

Yea they do send some really good offers that you can take advantage of if you’re fastidious about paying it off straight away.

Thebathneedscleaned · 20/12/2021 22:32

DH swears by Very

They have proven very useful to find certain games consoles that are sold out elsewhere.

GTAlogic · 20/12/2021 22:42

Oh yea sorry! But still, I suppose it's a word of warning to others to avoid the trap I fell into!

Mooloolabababy · 20/12/2021 22:55

They aren't the cheapest but they are convenient. I usually do the pay in 3 stages, that way I spread the cost and I don't accumulate interest. Speedy delivery to my local coop too.
