I got my Playstation collected nearly a week after having it first reserved for the cheaper black friday price

some sales staff can be very nice ans sound, considering the price went back up to over a 100€ more after the promotion.

Happy days

Agreed, always found the argos staff sound to honour price changes after reserving stuff

Well you should be. That's not how the system works.

You can't have your cake, return it and expect to keep the cherries?

WELL ACTUALLY - I just returned the bike .. instead of having to collect it again at cheaper price they refunded the 30 to my CC.

They never mentioned the gift card (which is not running anymore)

I then was able to use it to buy other items and used the gift card too

So Cake and Cherries for me :-)

RossieMan · 05-12-2018 1:56pm

You got lucky then. They had every right to make you return the gitfcard.

Think of it as an extra Christmas present, curiosity of Argos.
Always find them great to deal with.

I reserved the x rocker cobra gaming chair on Black Friday, was advertised on there website momentarily for 69.99- was meant to be a saving of 69.99, but after showing screenshot they honored the deal, fair play to them.

If you need it shipped to you I can help - but unfortunately my knowledge of dpd etc is not great. Where abouts in the country are you? Maybe we could meet half way?

Probably in readiness for post Christmas sale where coincidentally there will be a near 40 euro reduction in it's price.

Ordered that for my daughter last week, email said it was for collection on Thursday, went in on Thursday and the girl just said its not in and probably won't be in. Portlaoise store.

without the confirmation text you're wasting your time going near them. Most of us have learnt that now!

embraer170 · 22-12-2018 11:13pm

Would they send a confirmation email if you didn't provide a phone number?

Do the individual Argos stores have their own phone numbers?
If you go onto Argos website and click on ‘contact us’ it only shows one generic phone number....ring it and you can only talk to a ‘computer’....no human option.
The product I am looking up is out of stock all over Ireland.It is a Smartband,know someone who got one recently in Argos so I doubt if they are discontinued.
So wanted to ring nearest store to see if they can order it in?...Can this be done?

Thanks for any replies.

No it can’t be done, check back next week and there might be an expected date of when the new stock will come in

Bill nye · 05-01-2019 7:00pm

Most will show up as Atlantic Dawn pointed out. As an aside I got a phone call from an argos store yesterday asking if I would be in to collect a reservation as they had a customer looking to buy the same item but no stock left.

I just googled my local store- Killarney- & the telephone number is listed for it- you may be able to find your local store if you have an old receipt- it's probably listed on it?

Thanks.....do they generally say on the website if a product is being discontinued?.......
Would go sussing out other Smartbands if I thought that the one I’m after was not just out of stock but actually not being ordered back in.

Mr E · 16-01-2019 11:39am

I was just about to post that. I'll be grabbing that tomorrow myself....

It says 4k in the description but I'm not convinced.

It says 4k you would assume it is but considering they're selling on amazon direct for £49.99 I'd imagine it's the first gen. In saying that I know nadda about the things.

OmegaGene · 27-01-2019 3:41pm

Best to get it from amazon really but no harm buying it and looking at the box and if it’s not 4K hand it back, Argos have a good refund policy

RossieMan · 27-01-2019 3:56pm

I'll be picking one up if it's the 4k model. Will go in and ask in my local tomorrow.
