Bought a ps4 pro last week before they had any deals on it. They have a deal now with two games plus €30. Would argos refund me if i bring it back?

Have you opened it?

Anyone know what time the stock system updates to reflect reservations not collected/ general stock update?

heldel00

I'm trying to reserve a number of the same items online bit it's not giving me an option of picking a quantity. Am I doing something wrong?

deiseindublin

Will let you change quantity in the basket area, on same screen where you put in email and ph number.

Stock levels update at different times, depending on store closing time, usually within 1/2 hour of closing.

heldel00

No it won't let me change quantity, even on the email/ phone number page. When I tried to reserve a few at the weekend I had to do it separately and received a text alert for each one of my them!

Is anyone having problems with the 'Check Stock in your area' button on the website? I keep getting "An error occurred" and cannot check.

VOUCHERS ARE BACK!!



They are also valid up to January 3rd and available between 7th and 13th of December

http://www.argos.ie/static/ArgosPromo3/includeName/giftvoucher1.htm?mvt=HP1_main1

beware of condition 18. A voucher code gives you a discount on a single purchase and can only be used once (even if the purchase costs less than the code value).

Yes the Vouchers are back - Hurrah Hurrah.

But in case you didn't notice, their prices have shot up.

The price of that set was €919 yesterday also as I was reserving everyday this week as I was trying to decide if I was going to buy it or not. I ended it purchasing yesterday, was initially charged €919 but upon showing them reservation price of €799, I got it for €799 along with the €10 voucher and hopefully €25 back via permanentTSB rewards

Well when I reserved at 12.10 on Tuesday night, it was €799. I was undecided on it too and after researching have decided to leave it as it has an IPS panel, going for a Samsung KS7000 instead.
Reservation valid until close tonight in Sligo, if anyone wants email reservation?

Would you believe, I was also looking at the Samsung model too, but having had 2 Samsungs go bad on me in last 4 years, I decided not too. I've always loved samsungs too

Can you redeem more than one voucher against one purchase? Thinking of splitting up the Christmas shopping

RobbingBandit

You can use more than one voucher at a time. You will only get a €5 voucher if you spend between
€50 and €99.99 and one €10 for any spend €100 or higher, you don't get two €10 vouchers for spending €200 in one transaction, however if you buy 2 €100 transactions you would get two €10 vouchers so split your purchasing to maximize the vouchers.

200 LED xmas lights €5.99 https://m.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/5417605.htm

3ft xmas tree €4.99
https://m.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/2198604.htm

I got three packs of those lights last week foolishly not reading the description properly and thinking they were mains powered.
Just advising everyone that they're fairly dull even with good batteries in them.

I got them last week and have to say they aren't dull, have them on the outside and are nearly as bright as neighbors mains powered ones, very happy with them, still burning bright after a week. They have auto on/off, so hassle free.

+1 to this.

I also got a set to put on one of the trees outside and very impressed thus far! Very bright and loads of speed settings. Nice buy if you can get them

We have a set, with cheap batteries in, decorating a tree outside and they are plenty bright enough IMO. The timer is a great feature and the lights have been running all week on the cheap batteries

Good reviews and lowest price, similar to Amazon which has been 40 Sterling at its lowest.

I have Duracell in mine and very impressed with the brightness.
How does the auto on/off work though?

I find mine great too. If you don't change the setting it turns itself off after 8 hours and turns back on after 16 hours. But if you switch setting the 8hrs starts again.
