How to Order Free Catalogues by Post (UK Guide)
Ordering free catalogues by post remains one of the most relaxing ways to browse and shop from home in the UK. Through catalink.com, a free mail-order catalogue, brochure and newsletter request service, anyone can request printed catalogues delivered free to their door, with no cost and no obligation. This guide explains what is available, how the request process works, and how to manage what you receive.
What free catalogues are and what's available
Free catalogues are printed publications produced across many sectors so you can browse products, ideas and inspiration at your own pace. They are requested at no charge and posted to you for free, anywhere in the UK. There is no obligation to buy anything once they arrive.
Typical categories you can explore include:
- Home, garden and furniture
- Fashion, footwear and accessories
- Health, mobility and everyday living aids
- Gifts, gadgets and hobbies
- Food, drink and seasonal hampers
- Travel brochures and holiday inspiration
Many titles arrive as a printed edition through the post, while some also offer an instant digital version you can read straight away.
How to order catalogues free by post, step by step
The request process on catalink.com is designed to be quick and entirely free. A typical order looks like this:
- Browse the categories or search for the type of catalogue you want.
- Add the titles that interest you to your selection – you can request as many as you like.
- Enter your name and UK delivery address so the catalogues can be posted to you.
- Confirm your request and submit it free of charge.
- Where a digital edition is offered, open it instantly while you wait for the printed copy to arrive.
That is all there is to it. There is no payment stage and no commitment to purchase.
Why request the printed editions
Printed catalogues offer a browsing experience that screens cannot quite match. Many people find them easier to read, more pleasant to flick through, and ideal for sharing with family or marking pages for later. They are useful for planning purchases, comparing options side by side, and keeping handy on the coffee table for whenever inspiration strikes.
Because requesting and delivery are both free, there is no downside to building a small collection of the titles that genuinely interest you.
How to choose the right catalogues
With so many titles available, it helps to focus your selection. Consider what you are most likely to browse or buy — for example, garden inspiration in spring, gifts before the festive season, or home comforts and everyday essentials all year round.
It is perfectly fine to request several at once. Many visitors choose a mix across different categories so they have plenty to explore, then keep the ones they return to most often.
Digital versus printed editions
Both formats have their place. Digital editions are ideal when you want to start browsing immediately, search for something specific, or read on a phone or tablet while out and about. Printed editions are better for relaxed, no-screen browsing, for reading anywhere in the home, and for sharing.
Where both are offered, you can enjoy the digital version straight away and still receive the printed copy in the post, giving you the best of both.
Managing what you receive
Because there is no obligation, you remain in control of what arrives. Only request the titles you genuinely want, and you can simply choose not to request more in future if you have enough. Keeping your selection focused makes it easy to enjoy your catalogues without clutter, and any unwanted printed copies can be passed on or recycled.
