Argos RIP thread

TheDriver

The previous chat thread #1 is closed due to some weirdness going on with the code etc so we'll continue it here.

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

Thanks

Anyone know what the story is on the furniture deal? Adding product to cart and adding promo code doesn't do anything. FURN25 should take 25% off.

You get the discount when you pay , just make sure you say about the discount beforehand, the staff are not allowed say it to you

Julez

Hmmm, ok, so cant buy online?

noble00

That’s the only way I have ever used a discount in Argos , I just reserved it and then paid in the shop , I have never ordered and paid online , I would just give them a ring their pretty good at sorting stuff over the phone

kenyard

Do they not state on their website that the online price had the discount already applied?
Prices shown already include discount.
You can quote the discount in-store to get the discount on the in-store price, but this will just allow you match the online price.

Bit late now, however, I did have to go to store to get this offer. Catalog was same price as online, but when I quoted "FURN25" to the cashier a further 25% was taken off the price.

I think a charge had crept in somewhere for the developer do it's been moth balled.

Argos have the Nikon Coolpix W150 listed at €13, which is a pretty price for the camera. Unfortunately it doesn't actually seem to be in stock anywhere:

Sorry, yes, that is what I meant to type (now fixed).
That is €25-30 cheaper than anywhere else including Amazon.

Not a bargin! Something I Resevered but changed my mind!

Acer Spin 13in Pentium Gold 4GB 64GB QHD 2-in-1 Chromebook 299/6198
**Original Price €709.99 ~~ €609.99

is ready to collect in Cork Mahon Point until 02-01-20!
Anybody interested in reservation number, please PM.

Reason 2 expensive for what I want it for, and you can get (2 in 1) something with a proper OS for less money.

So I doubt anyone would be interested, is there a method to cancel it?

Just don't collect it?

Anyone know when the pre Christmas money back vouchers can be used?
Mine mentions a handwritten 26th and 31st but don't know if that means only between Dec 26th and 31st or excluding those dates.

Mine has the same handwritten note, but the printed text on the receipt that came with it says it expires on January 31st.

Is checkargos not working for everyone else or just me?

Not worked for months.

I believe the developer (witnessmenow I think) is too busy and stopped updating it a good while ago.

See this post, he is no-longer earning commission on links due to argos changing something.

Nevermind

With checkargos down, is there any other website that tracks the price of an item from argos?

beauf

https://pricescanner.ie/#

Seems decent. Doesn't track stock though which is was so useful about check argos.

Argos site its pretty dire in that regard.

witnessmenow

Howdy,

An update on Checkargos:

It is not currently working (as you know), two things broke with it.

Price history Database is full - We used a free instance of a hosted DB service and its full, it actually has been for quite some time but inexplicably they kept allowing us to go over the allowance :pac: . It finally stopped working before Christmas, this is probably what caused the site to go down in the first place. This functionality has since been removed from the site which brings us on to

Stock Checking is not working - Argos made a change at some stage, not to their code I think, but to their server. It was now rejecting requests for data without the User-Agent set (something we never did before). Setting a user agent seems to fix the problem locally, but as of yet it still not running on the server. Maybe they have IP address banned us again, honestly, I'm not sure.

I would prefer if CA was up and running, as I hate Argos' website, especially on mobile, but I can't guarantee it will. As mentioned in a previous post, finding spare time to investigate or tinker around with it is extremely challenging.

I'll update if there is any progress

beauf

Was a super idea and super site and the usability was so easy.

Argos should have brought it off you. It drove who knows how much sales to them.

Especially useful for clearing old stock inventory.

antodeco

Prime example of where CA being down meant a sale was lost. Looking for a TV and wanted to check a few stores (as the Argos site is terrible). Wouldnt work, so tried powercity and could check multiples stores. Bought it from them instead. @witnessmenow, hopefully you can get it working (and you should stick some google ads onto it to get some money

)

@witnessmenow

I understand time is an issue for you re. updating the site, but if there's a cost involved would it help if some of us regulars here were to pool together to help fund that would that help? I know I'd be willing to throw in a few quid to help get it back up and running - as much for the stock element referenced above as for the bargains.

It's Argos's fault. They stopped paying a commission on items reserved through CheckArgos (something like that anyway).
