Advantages: Really cheap goods, speedy service, well layed-out.
Disadvantages: Each category takes ages to load (because of the vast number of products on each page), many products are due to be out of date.
I visited this online store a few weeks ago after someone recommened it highly on Ciao. I didn't want to cramp their style by writing an opinion myself, but this website deserves upmost attention and apprasal. Here are some descriptions of the site's features: 1) Layout/Design - the moment you set eyes on this site, you'll notice the effort that has been put into its design. It is set out like a supermarket. All the links are presented like signs hanging from the ceiling and you have to click the enterance doors to go into the online store. When you browse the categories, you'll notice the different products are displayed as if they were on a shelf. It's an amusing online shopping experience. 2) Navigation - the website has a good search facility. The store is organised into different categories. These include; gifts, food and drink, toys and games, and so on. 3) Ordering - ordering is very simple. Just click on a product you like, read a description and select how many you wish to buy. As like most other e-tailers, you have a shopping basket your selected goods are put in to. 4) Delivery - postage and packing costs £2.99 per order, delievery usually takes about a week. The website is extremely useful for buying reducedeveryday products, such as biscuits, tinned foods, crisps and that type of thing. You can also find great bargins in their stationary and toys section. You have to take note that the reason they are so cheap is because the sell-by date on most of the products is relatively soon. At the moment the sell-by date is typically 31 March 2001, one month from now. So if you do want to place an order, make sure you're going to use the products before the date runs out on you. This is a spectacular site, a definite 'must do' browsing/shopping experience, but please be careful with the sell-by dates, I wouldn't like to think I am responsibe for an illness o
r anything.
