* Watching out for mail order P&P charges *

National newspapers often come with mail-order catalog inserts -- but be wary if buying from such catalogs: the suppliers may actually be tied in to other newspapers' own online "home shopping" departments offering a better deal.
One such catalog is that from Premier Edition. It's currently enclosed in copies of The Times. The range is OK and the mail-order prices comparable with anywhere else.
Premier Edition is part of a Loughborough-based mail order house which supplies the online "home shopping" departments of newspapers like The Daily Mirror, and The Daily Telegraph. Much of the content of the current Premier Edition catalog is therefore identical to that of the Mirror and Telegraph home shopping offers. . .
But with one difference: whereas Premier Edition charges £4.95 for an order placed via its catalog or website, there's no P&P charge if you order exactly the same item from exactly the same supplier but via the Mirror or Telegraph websites.
May not sound a lot -- but those £4.95ps can mount up.
