Argos Chat Thread #1

Mr.Crinklewood

Seems most weeks we have a bargain or two from Argos, thought it might be an idea to have a dedicated forum like the one for Tesco:-

Sound Asleep Pillow - was € 39.99 - now € 11.99

Morphy Richards Fastbake Breadmaker - was €159.99 - now €79.99.

PAC-MAN Remote Controlled Man and Ghost Racers - was € 39.19 - now €19.59

Mod Edit:

If anyone is looking for an item and is looking to check for stock nationwide. Use http://checkargos.com/.

Mod note please read post 352 - here

I know this is 'chat' thread but can we keep it strictly to the items posted in the Argos thread for everyone's benefit.

Thanks

Regarding the broken links.

The Argos affiliate link generator seems to be broken for their mobile site, this happened when they first launched the mobile site too.

British General double gang socket with USB twin pack - €14.99
http://www.argos.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10152&catalogId=14551&langId=111&productId=1019164

These are even cheaper now at €12.50. Moreover the brushed steel ones are also reduced to €18.74.

I still didn't get around to putting in the white ones. I'm tempted to bring them back and get the steel ones. I don't know if there's a massive difference though.

Also saw a single pack of them in Aldi (different brand and probably not as good) costing I think about €19.99!

It's a great resource but it's down a lot. And it doesn't get fixed until someone here has to be the bad guy and post about it.

Does anyone know if I can use an Irish argos gift card in a UK argos store?

a_noodle_jenny

As far as I know you can't... you can use Tesco club card up north, great deals in Argos U.K. But sometimes dearer too... I'm guessing you're after something specific you have seen up there..

I'm after a dual sim phone - for some reason they don't sell them in Ireland but I'll be in UK in April so wanted to get one but I have a gift card so I was hoping to use it in the UK.

Lads, I purchased a PS4 with a free game on Sunday for €280. Now they've changed the offer to also include an extra controller to the worth of about €60. Is there any way that I can avail of this now? Would a manager be able to help me at all, or am I just out of luck?

It'd make me hesitant about any big purchases from Argos in the future.

If you haven't opened the game and it's not one that is bundled in the PS4 box then they might exchange it for you and give you the new offer.

Misread your post earlier. I thought you said they were giving a controller instead of a game but as well as the game. Hence why I said as long as the game isn't open because they'd have to take it back. I'd go back in and ask the manager. Can't see why they wouldn't do it.

So just go in ask Argos for a free controller?

Not a hope in hell they oblige!

Nope. They would refund the old bundle and resell the new bundle. The OP didn't pay any extra so is essentially getting a free controller and Argos' stock file isn't affected either. I used to work in an electrical retailer and we did this type of thing quite regularly. Even if something dropped in price we'd do a refund resale if a customer asked and have them the difference back. With in reason of course.

Not exactly, I mean if I had exercised some patience and waited a couple of days I'd have gotten the console, game and the controller for the very same price as I actually got just the console and the game. I'll admit it's unlikely, but I find it annoying that they reduced the price and put up the offer when they were just going to make it better a few days after.

Thanks a million for the help, and just one last question - I'm in Galway until Friday, do you know if I be would able to go down to the Argos here and bring it up with the manager or would I be better off waiting and going to the store I bought the PS4 from originally?

Not sure why that'd be the case as this could happen in absolutely any shop, Argos however are one of the best when it comes to customer care so I'd definitely go back with your receipt and your bundle to ask nicely if they could oblidge you with the updated offer, obviously you should be sound about it and not act like they've done you wrong somehow.

They're not nearly as customer centric as they used be- since they were taken over by Sainsburys- there have been big changes.

Try the one in Galway and see what happens. Worst case scenario they say no. I wouldn't even ask for a manager just ask at customer service. Bring your receipt with you as well. If you bought it on a card bring the card you used to buy it with. If there is a small difference in price (even 1 cent) and they need to refund it back to you they might be only able to refund it back on the card you paid for it with.
