Tried to reserve earlier when I saw this on HUKD. All sold out in all Cork stores:(:( Someone may have beaten me to it. Was only reserving 12 in total, so not greedy...but there wasn't even one left:(.

Are they open tomorrow? I reserved 3 of these- 4 socket surge protector extension.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I've a funny feeling Argos won't be open tomorrow on the 26th but I could be wrong :-) I'll be near 2 stores so will check her out...nice of them to give us some choco at 35 cent :-)

Lindtee I'm worried about the combination of things you bought from Argos ..... :eek:

SIX PACK

is it just the choc orang bar or the 1 in box?

jelly&icecream

Out of stock in Cavan and all the Dublin city centre branches ::sobs::

Edit::It seems they have a few of the plain ones in dublin city centre...just not the popping candy ones.

the groutch

I ordered my 10 for dun laoighre (seems to be loads there) , hopefully someone will be going down there early and can tell me if they're open

Nope, not with Galway anyway, quick question. The Choc Oranges are on display in the shops mostly, with some out the back. How are they even able to be reserved. Couldn't someone just buy it anyway.

georgem25

They have them in Limerick - yippee

peanuthead

Just reserved 10 of them at Blanch!!

milly4ever

25p and sold out here!

medic143

Just reserved 20 in Sprucefield, Lisburn

meoklmrk91

Since when are they selling chocolate?, for some reason that just seems mad to me.

tintar

i reserved some & got a confirmation to collect today! is Argos also open today?

sue97

Went to collect mine and they did not have them. :mad:

Bought some other stuff though

RasTa

Blanch is closed anyway. The extra is open but I reserved mine in the other one.

donmeister

Had mine reserved for today, but I'd rather have no Terrys choclate orange than a broken neck!

paddypender

Went into argos waterford today and they scan as buy one get one free! so they come out at 17c each. Between me and the staff waterford its now out of stock .
Not sure if the buy one free was just waterford or nationwide though either way its still a bargain. Thanks op

yoshytoshy

I reserved some ,but Im not bothered to pick them up.
They're round and I'll be rounder if I eat them.:D

dragonfly!

I had 20 reserved but the waterford store was closed when I got there at 3:45pm, they were supposed to be open until 5pm. So I'd say I'll never get them!!!!!!

a strongly worded letter to head office is in order imo, they might give you some vouchers or something like that for the inconvenience

paddypender

Are you sure it was actually closed. The main door is broken so you have to use the fire escape at the side.

medic143

went to pick up mine in Lisburn and the computer didnt charge me for 7 of the twenty, so worked out at 17p each !!

Where was this? and what excuse did they give you? The whole point of reserving stuff is to ensure it is going to be in stock, I would have gone mental if they had gone and sold something I had reserved.

Theyre on Point of Sale! No-way of reserving them anyway isn't there?

sue97

It was the Omni Centre in Santry. I couldn't figure out what I would achieve by going mad. They couldn't upgrade me as they were the only chocolate they sold.

You can reserve them from the links in the original post. I ordered 10 and got a confirmation email & text saying they are there for collection up to monday evening.

Yes I know that, but the Choc Oranges are mostly kept out on the shop floor, there no way someone at the tills could stop someone from picking it up and buying it. Don't think that reserving it will guarantee you any at all, I may be wrong, but I doubt it.

As i said earlier, all shutters were down and no lights on, so I reckon they were closed:D:D

I can understand they would have them on the floor, many would not expect them to be sold there, but seeing as they are listed online and you can actually reserve them then that would make me presume that you can indeed reserve them, and that they would be kept in the back, just like any other product, the system seems to be working, some are in stock in some stores, some are not. I don't really see why you would doubt it so much, has anybody here gone in and collected a reservation yet?

It's easy to pop in to your local store and buy your items straightaway but stock of some items can be very limited so they may be out of stock by the time you get there.

With Check & Reserve, you can make sure it's ready for you before you leave home! If items are in stock when you place your reservation, they will be held in store for you until the end of the next working day. If it's not in stock, we'll order it in for you and let you know when it's ready for collection.

I did in the North. There was an empty Terrys display stand out front and I feared the worst but when I paid for my reservation the stock was brought out from the back

When the sales clerk types in the code, it will appear as out of stock, and they won't be able to process the sale (as it's reserved).

I had my 4 reserved in Longford, collected yesterday no problems. There was lots there and lady told me that every one was reserved so staff got none:p
Also got the BOGOF offer so 4 only cost 70c!!!!!!:D Thanks OP

Kilteragh

Just got 28 Chocolate Oranges for free :pac:

Had a 5 euro Argos voucher from buying stuff before Xmas.

Went in to get 14 of them for a total of €4.90 to be told they were still 2 for 1 at the 35c price.

Everyone in my family will be getting choc oranges for presents in the near future. LOL.

Many thanks to the OP.
