I got a delivery call yesterday got the brushed steel one

Thank you very much to the OP I lost my job a while ago and our oven is on its last legs this will make a huge difference to us I just hope it gets delivered !!!

Great to see BA doing what it's intended for.I was tempted to order one when I spotted it but I'd have to rejig the kitchen to fit it in.Nice to see my posting it here helped somebody out rather than seeing bargains being stuck up on adverts or donedeal within the hour of them appearing on this forum.
If anybody spots a great deal on a single oven I'd appreciate it.

I'll be next I suppose, too good to be true. Minute it got out on sites the less chance we had of it going through. Next time

When did you order it? I ordered over the phone schedule for delivery for Wednesday. So far no cancellation call.

What was the reason for cancellation, no stock, wrong price or something else?

I ordered mine on friday morning @ 7:33. Just got my cancellation call there. Reason given was misprice,was offered 10% off it if I wanted to proceed with purchase.

Their policy is if its already been dispatched they will let it go for the price and if it hasn't they'll cancel it

They offered me the oven for 699 and 10% off it or another oven , If your is due tomorrow i'd say you'll get it , would be with a courier by now

They offered me the oven for 699 and 10% off it or another oven too. I had spotted it on pricescanner and ordered it as my oven broke last week. I'm very annoyed that I can't get the one bargain I flipping well need

nava

Mine was delivered earlier, I just noticed that I might have ordered a different version that you, what version of the oven did you order? HBM43B250B or HBM13B251B I ordered the 2nd link HBM13B251B that's the fan oven. Maybe you all ordered from the 1st link.

Delighted with the Argos bargains over the last few weeks when they came out I was looking around for a bargain for a while, got the Delonghi coffee machine, Lenovo table and now the oven, saved over €1000 on the 3 items. Now I just need a gas hob 5 rings.

lol Yes I nearly ordered that too, but we wanted the 251b model as it's a fun oven.

I check pricescanner everyday for any good offers.

Good site for deals in Argos and others.

ablelocks

just a heads up for whoever is in charge of pricescanner - boots, chain reaction and possibly currys seem to be stuck ...

and thanks for setting up that site!

Has anyone contacted argos about the state of the searching facility on their websites, in particular the mobile site?

Its practically impossible to find anything these days, just wondering if there's an update on the way

Haha, I have no idea but 53 quid for a tree is a pretty good deal! I bought a new one last year from littlewoods for 90, it's awesome. Looks similar to the one I posted

The whole website is a joke. If you go onto the clearance/promotions page You get to see all the specials they have on. You first have to go into the sections like Home/Toys etc. When you do tho it brings you to an error screen.
