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

Didn't work for me

anyone have a spare code for Dublin

I swear- someone in their IT department must be monitoring this thread!

In which case- you can cancel all those orders for the 1 drawer set @ 90 Euro odd each- none of us have any intention of picking them up.

like we f**king care about your fake orders.

I asked a member of staff in my local store who said they were that price on the Argos system and there was no bulletin about the price being wrong and I should get it for that price when reservation arrives

RossieMan · 14-01-2015 05:42PM

if argos honour that price they deserve massive credit. Can't see why in the world they would though.

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.

Wasn't there when I got mine, worth keeping an eye on.

Yep gone now

Pinkycharm · 14-01-2015 10:24PM

Anyone actually get one- are they nice quality?

The_Conductor · 15-01-2015 07:10AM

Looks like they may have done a little work on the website overnight.
Some of the ambiguities during the ordering process- have been ironed out.
Suffice to say- this is no longer available- pity.........
Well done to anyone who got it- it seems like a very good buy.

Millenium Falcon is on sale for €28.99 in Argos.

There's quite a few in stock around the Country - Stock Checker

Single Camping Air Bed €6.99 - Stock Check

Corholio · 15-01-2015 02:39PM

Reserved the drawers a few days ago, got an email with a reservation number. Only available to collect from the 20th though. What are the chances of getting it for stated price? It's still that price on the website.

Same here. I've printed out the email and plan to bring that with me when picking up the item. Was in similar situation with Asus Memo Pad on Black Friday. When stock came in following week, they honoured the BF price for me - I'd brought a screen grab showing price.

Pinkycharm · 15-01-2015 07:49PM

Was in Childers Road this evening collecting mine. Asked had they any behind in the back and she had said none left but that they were due a shipment of them the end of this month and that would be the last shipment of them to that store as all others were cancelled. it would be on sale at the 22.98 to get rid of them. They won't be in the next catalogue. She said to keep an eye on the bedside table too.

Returned this a few weeks ago. Very very plastic feel. Would not recommend, even for EUR1!

It's for camping. Better than the ground!

uli84 · 16-01-2015 10:33AM

devastated I missed those drawers, got a house to furnish and the budget is tight

will be checking at the end of the month...

Sennheiser HD355s over-ear headphones are currently reduced to half price, €55.

Not many left around the country, but I managed to reserve a set in Mahon Point. Really don't need them (impulse purchase), so if someone wants the code, drop me a PM.
Need to be collected by close of business tomorrow.

JDxtra · 16-01-2015 11:50AM

Argos web site currently just displaying their logo at the moment - no content.

When do they flip over to the new catalog content? That can be an opportunity for mis-prices and for UK only items appearing here that would not normally be available.

witnessmenow · 16-01-2015 12:01PM

Seems like a ridiculous time to do the cut-over? lunch time on a Friday?

nava · 16-01-2015 12:04PM

Working for me, now, I thought other times with new catalogues they changed the website over night.
