mail order catalogues

[fruitsalad]

are they all part of one big company as they all seem to be similar only under different names

[sandyRoe]

I think Great Universal Stores, GUS, run some of them.

Some I know of are too, makes you wonder how they manage/afford to run all these different companies, though perhaps it's something to do with tax situation...

[dzug2]

There are several different 'big' companies most of which have a gaggle of smaller ones. Not all though - Damart and Daxon I think are standalone.

Market differentiation may have as much to do with it as tax.

I wouldn't say all, but there are some obviously with the same source.

[boxtops]

Some are under several umbrellas - JD Williams run several catalogues.

Remember when I run years ago a few were in the same group are you looking to run one fruitsalad or just an enquiry (just being nosey lol)

[fruitsalad]

was looking to run one pizza and had been looking at their websites thats when I noticed they all seemed the same

[atalanta]

If they are so closely associated, it is surprising that they have very different prices for the same thing. I have just priced a toy
( exact same) at £6.99, £7.49, and £9.99. And no, p&p is not included.

[fruitsalad]

atalanta I also noticed the difference in prices as they are all one of the same

I remembered this thread last night while I was trying to arrange a 'return' to House of Bath ....... and surprisingly in the small print I noticed J.D. Williams details
