Unless u were one of the first people who ordered then just sit and wait it out.

Anyone got a number for Argos Galway - 091 760602 number ex Golden Pages is out of service???

Tks in advance

PseudoFamous · 24-08-2011 05:38PM

Some arse just left Argos Arklow with three touchpads and the most disgustingly greedy grin I've seen in my life. No doubt to try to flog off to someone unknowledgeable in tech for two or three times the price.

Lot of unfair and unjustified bashing of Argos staff in this thread IMO.

In fairness the manager in store was lovely as I previously posted. HQ were rubbish although they did offer to pay my petrol and phone expenses!

24-08-2011 05:42PM

Any word on stock in NAAS?! OR Liffey?

Xzen · 24-08-2011 05:43PM

No more in Argos Cork city , Blackpool or Mahon Point either, and no deliverys due. The lady said to come back in a good few weeks or check the website and see if there's an update, though I dont think she knew they not being manafactured anymore. She also said most of the people in today were only in for the Touchpad...lol has Cork gone touchpad crazy?

Bah, well on to ebay then...though no way im paying €200+ for one when something better will be out after xmas for that.

Lots of people that had reservations were given the run around, it's only after people spoke up that these stores finally started to honour these reservations.

It will be worth asking early Sat/Sun morning as some people were told instore today their reservations werent being honoured. I say Sat/Sun as thats when the reservations will close.

I'd advise anyone with a Cork reservation thats not honoured to insist on the store manager getting onto their support guys.

padocon · 24-08-2011 05:47PM

Still seems there is none available in any Argos, pity I didn't reserve one last night.

coach22 · 24-08-2011 05:49PM

I had a reservation in argos sligo since sunday. Just got a call there from them saying my reservation is now cancelled cause they ordered too many of them or something F**K! I give up good luck to anyone who gets one at this stage

They changed it on the website with the reservation thingy.

And it didn't matter if there was any left they could have said: "We have some left but they are reservation only"
