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

That's complete crap, a laptop will not clog up or clag as you call it if it's used properly, mine cost £450 6 years ago and it's as good as day one, I regularly clean mine using ccleaner

Read the full post I was quoting (not just the section I quoted)

The kind of user who doesn't understand what a backup is is absolutely going to end up with their OS install in ribbons within a few years.

Spending excess cash just to avoid having to do any maintenance work is insane.

Typo. Won't be honoured.

a_noodle_jenny

Do they not honour typos? That's a great price - wouldn't pay the price with the extra digit on the left hand side of the decimal point!

th283

They have honoured misprices in the past if you have a print out or copy of your reservation.

These have been this price for more than a week, but with limited stock around the country, I've looked on check argos over the last few days and numbers in stock have been going down so it appears they have been selling

Aeternum

Just ordered one for next week - will let ye know if I get it.

Jayprey

I imagine they'll honour it if you go in with your print out. More than likely they'll try to ring you beforehand to explain it was a typo but if they don't you have a very good chance.

€223.98 must be a typo:eek:

£159.98 on UK website - the pictures don't do it a justice, apparently:D
It is white in an oak effect so must be beatiful:

Handles and all - great value for money.

Just ordered 2 for collection so will see what the story is!

Can only order it for collection now it seems, and the earliest I can get it ordered for is the 17th but the 'current selling price' is only until the 16th so even if I managed to successfully order one, which I can't seem to do (it keeps failing), I don't think they'd honour the price lol

GaGa21

Tried ordering and even though it is saying you can order for delivery sat-mon, when you type in details and reserve, it comes up out of stock. They must have realised the error.

Getting same as you, maybe they have x number on the system so once it goes over that number we get out of stock, or as you said they noticed the mistake.

Well in fairness i had it 10 months and it developed a screen issue. Allegedly it was sent to samsung but it came back the same way so they've offered to replace it or give credit. Fair enough imo.

That happened me - got an I-pod mini and it didn't work. They sent it away but came back the same. Had awful trouble trying to get my money back - all happened within 5 days of purchase but because it was open they wouldn't give me money back. Complete joke. I explained I had to open it to see if it was faulty but got the whole "computer says no" reply. Got sorted eventually but was not overly impressed. Think for small items it's good but if something breaks then your bargain will not seem like a bargain

Current selling price is up until 16th because their new catalogue is out on the 17th .
I ordered one too and instead of the usual email where they name and prove it I got a basic one saying they'll let me know when my order is in .Fingers crossed
.Thanks op

There will probably be a bulletin on the till for the sales assistant to read out explaining that there was an error on the website. The price doesn't have to be honored if you are told about the error at point of purchase. I will check it out when I'm back in work tomorrow and let ye know.

DoYouEvenLift

Has anyone tried reserving one over the phone?

Witchie

I got an email confirming my reservation at the cheap price for 2 of them. Hopefully they honour them when I collect next Tues.

Berty

I had that blank e-mail thing as well. Same happened with luggage I spotted on HUKD. Ah well. Worth a shot.

It says on website you can pay by card for items reserved on the quick pay machines .Would that be better chance of getting them if they arrive into store ?

Yup, I'd say so too.

cena

I just reserved an item but it won't be available from tomorrow till Saturday. Offer ends on Friday for the item.
Well I still get it at that price it is at till Friday, if it doesn't come in till Saturday

RossieMan

if you bring in the email they'll usually honour it.
Can this information be added to a sticky? its asked every single page.

Even when the email doesn't have a reservation number?

Guffy

With regard printing out the email. I assume showing it to them on the phone is ok?

It depends which price comes up on the kiosk I have a feeling it will be the higher price though!

rolexeagle1

Tried calling to reserve the drawers and it says "sorry we have just run out of stock and I cannot make a reservation". It won't arrange for pick up either

DoYouEvenLift

Alright, I kind of found a glitchy loophole to order for collection but it's very unreliable and only worked for me once, but for those who REALLY want these drawers and are willing to possibly spend an extra €97.98 to get the 1 drawer bedside set, do this:

Click to reserve the 4 drawer set like normal

When you get to your trolley, there will be an option to add the 1 drawer set to your order. Click this.

This will make two two appear in your trolley for a total of €120.96

When you choose which stores to deliver to, choose TWO DIFFERENT STORES. This will more than likely also reserve both for delivery and ready for collection on different start dates but end on the same date.

If it works, it will show up with both being reserved like normal but the last few times I've tried again it's shown up as only the 1 drawer set being reserved and the 4 set highlighted as 'out of stock', so like I said it's pretty unreliable.

Proof it worked for me:

Edit: lol, clearly not thinking straight, left the res codes uncensored , let's just hope any boardsies who may have seen are honest

Coming up as:

The following items were not purchased
New Denver 4 Drawer Chest - White. 333/7062

4

€91.92

Out of stock

(For the record- If I got 4- they are for use at home, we need them- they are not for resale- we have a stupid amount of clothes etc- and having some matching furniture for the children's bedrooms would be great.)
