Why is littlewoods so much more expensive than very when they are the same company???

I have been xmas shopping online. Additions, littlewoods, great universal and very are all the same company with the exact same websites. I was looking for Ben 10 lego which was £12 on very and additions but in littlewoods it is a massive £16??? and a buckaroo game is £10 in very but £16 in littlewoods. This is criminal!!! I have used my credit kimit with very so wanted to get the lego from littlewoods as i have an empty account with them but my god I wont bother!!! i feel insulted that they can charge such a lot more for the same stuff. NOT happy.:mad:

Hi, I don't know the workings of all the retailers you mention but could it be that Littlewoods give 10% commision and interest free credit and they finance that by charging higher prices ?

Hi. I have accounts with both. The previous poster is corect. Littlewoods give at least 5 months interest free credit and Very give 3 months interest free.

With Littlewoods, delivery is free and with Very it's £3.95. And Littlewoods give up to 10% cashback on purchases whereas Very don't.

Depending on what you are buying Littlewoods can be better value than Very but maybe not in your case with the lego.

Can you maybe not open a new account with one of their other brands - they have Woolworths, Empire Stores, Marshall Ward, Choice and Kays. You will get a discount as a new customer with one of these.

Hope that helps.
