Very (the new name for
Littlewoods Direct) was launched nationally in 1996, offering direct sales of a full range of merchandise at some of the lowest prices in home-shopping; Littlewoods Direct (now
Very) is a direct-to-the-customer catalogue offering optional flexible credit facilities, providing easy ordering, 7 days a week by telephone, online, fax, textphone and post.
Very, referred to below by its previous incarnation, Littlewoods Direct, was also previously known by several other names, including Littlewoods Extra, and also LX Direct. The Littlewoods LX Direct name was dropped mid-March, 2007, while the Littlewoods Direct name was dropped mid-2009. There’s no denying that the name
Very doesn’t seem very distinguishing, or appear to make much sense, but don’t let the name put you off; the
Very online store is every bit the same as the previous Littlewoods Direct store, only with a shorter URL.
With a much bigger range of products than some similar catalogue stores, you will find close to 40,000 products available from the Littlewoods Direct website, with categories including clothes, electronics, appliances, home & garden, gifts & leisure and many others. You can also request your free mail-order catalogue from the website too - with more than 1,000 pages of offers. If you do already have a mail-order catalogue, then remember that you can save time at the website simply by entering the product codes found in the catalogue, which will take you directly to the correct pages.
Littlewoods Direct is owned and operated by Littlewoods Shop Direct Home Shopping Ltd, who are also responsible for several other catalogue brands too, but each brand is slightly different, so take your time to look around, and you may find special offers on one site which are not available on the others. The popular Janet Frazer brand you’ll also find available at Littlewoods Direct, which is also available at Marshall Ward.
Most products ordered from Littlewoods Direct can be delivered next day, and the delivery charge, which may vary, is usually very low. You can also return unused goods, should you decide you not to keep them, free of charge within 14 days.

Littlewoods Direct customers may pay in full or may choose to pay using the Littlewoods Direct "Flexible Account" - a credit account which allows customers to spread the cost of purchases over several months - even years on some items, should they choose to. There is also an option to avoid paying interest, by paying an "interest opt-out amount" charge up-front, but naturally this method does indeed mean paying more than one would if paying in full for the product at point of purchase.
However, if purchasing an expensive item, it can be useful to spread the payments over a longer period, and the Littlewoods Direct "Flexible Account" can sometimes prove an ideal solution.
