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

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.

Absolutely agree. I rarely buy anything in Argos since CA has been down.

@witnessmenow - thank you for all the time and effort you have put into it over the years.

Is the Argos value drill any good?

I got the cordless hammer drill. Grand as a glorified screwdriver, but it's going to struggle really really badly with anything masonry wise. Which is no surprise.

No idea if the electric drill will be any good. Guessing not, but for the money worth a punt, even if it only lasts for one job.

I bought the 2nd one, there's a corded electric drill which was 9 euro but has doubled in price to 18!

Drill, Sander and Jigsaw for €30!

FYI - the drill went up from €9 to €17.99 yesterday but politely asked and they reduced price at till.

Price scanner not updating neither now for Argos argos really seem set on making finding a bargain difficult.

This morning, Argos website changed layout a bit.
Finally some changes

Maybe some day they will bring back their referral program too!

https://pricescanner.ie/ is working again for Argos.

Thanks RobbingBandit for highlighting !

Thanks grabbed NBA 2K20 for Switch just now. Pricechange and checkargos are/were great for bargain hunting.

Folks, could someone tell if the interest on the Pay Now Buy Later is applied from the start, or after 6 months if items are not paid in full. I'm look at some fitness equipment and would like to pay it off in installments,

Well almost anything will be better than their existing mobile site. It's an exercise in frustration as it is. Absolutely pointless.

It's back but it seems the same...

What's most shocking is that the UK site is perfectly decent, surely all they need to do is copy that and add prices in euro?!

Your username is the best I've come across.

Seriously though the Argos site on mobile is absolute dogsh@t, jumps all over the place and it constantly switches between the mobile and desktop version.

You'll need to wait until opening hours tomorrow I think.. 9am or thereabouts.

RobbingBandit

Yeah after midnight as the item is reserved until close of business the next day

If you pay in full before the 6 months is up you get the interest free but if you even have 1c left over a day after the interest free ends you'll pay the exorbitant interest rate on the entire amount- not thr amount outstanding.

Presumably that's how they make their money.

RobbingBandit

Definitely after midnight rather than opening time tomorrow morning I do it all the time for Nintendo switch games once the date is the next day the item is reserved until the shop closes 24 hours later

I am very confused with the exceptions to the retail shops that have to close due to coronavirus outbreak. Is Argos.ie open or closed?

I think their UK shops are online only but don't think we have that option here on small items? Their website is updating/offline since last night.

My local Argos (Clonmel) branch is open today as normal but reduced hours,it's in a shopping centre and only a few other places open as well. I can't use online though seems to be under maintenance.

I got an email yesterday that an order was cancelled and they're all closed.

jules86

Following government advice, Argos stores are now closed. This means we have had to cancel your reservation. We are working to get our website and delivery services open as usual. We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your support and understanding.

This is what they text me last night

sydthebeat

Their website appears to be down this morning, despite their twitter saying online is still open

Quigs Snr
