simple reply........ no ....
seems like they only deal with people (bit like easy jet ) over the web via e mail.
seems crazy that they are refusing money via direct debit card and a normal charge phone... but there it is !”
That's because they're an internet shopping company. Bit like complaining your corner shop doesn't have a website and won't do online deliveries. That's not what they are.
What's the difference anyway? You either phone up and give them your debit card details, or you log in and give them your debit card details.
The latter is, in fact, much safer. Someone on the phone could write down your details as you give them, then go shopping for themselves. Can't possibly happen through a secure website.
