SIR – Buying an item of clothing from a catalogue is not always the bargain it claims to be in the advertisements.

It’s a case of buyer beware as I found out to my cost when responding to the Damart Catalogue.

As one has to pay the postage to have the item delivered and also has to pay the postage to return the items.

Most catalogue companies have a pick up service but not this catalogue – it cost me £7.62 to return the unsuitable items.

What it would cost when postage goes up in a fortnight’s time I dread to think!
