Yes but essential items only.

Seems they have restricted gaming stuff (among others) and the like now.

Ordered an item last week which was due in on Sunday, they said I'd get a text when it's in stock.

Yet to receive a text, has this worked for others before?

It's for stock they don't have in stock in store but can quickly source from the UK and quickly pick and load onto scheduled deliveries

Once its in store you will receive a text

The issue now is brexit and deliveries are impacted.

It will arrive in but delayed , you can ring the store you reserved it from and they should be able to give update.

I've had more than one occasion when I didn't get the text, but I still went into the store and it was ready for collection.

Most of the time you would receive the text, though.

I got loads of calls to organise the delivery and requests to ring them back.
This turned into emails saying that the item was delayed in transport.
Finally an email to say that the sale was cancelled and I'd get my money back.

HP V150w USB 2.0 Flash Drive - 64GB - €8.49

Product code: 718/7782

Good price for a 64gb USB stick, can't find it cheaper anywhere online, currently £16 on Amazon.

That's a very old and slow USB drive (and only USB 2.0).

I'd recommend getting this USB 3.0 drive for ~€6 instead and use the savings towards getting Prime for a month if you don't already have it.

Think their service has fallen off a cliff tbh, they're making some strange calls about what's essential and not - eg a guitar is considered non-essential but earphones are fine - great unless your child happens to be learning music - guitar in particular and need to upsize etc.

Yes it's a moan but still think some of their decisions are a bit bizzare, back to Amazon for me.

Headphones can be required for many people who work from home. Guitars wouldn't.

Not saying that explains everything, but I'm assuming in the items you stated that's the reasoning.

I understand that, but there's no reasoning with it, I can call or email the local shop and explain the need is essential but Argos is a brick wall - both items could be described as either essential or non essential depending on how you look at it.

Btw - music student working from home - just incase it wasn't clear.

Looking at some fitness stuff on Argos for weeks now.
Every time I check anything it has status “currently out of stock” or “home delivery not available”


I thought this was down to the fact that fitness stuff was in high demand.

But then I had a gander at other stuff and seems nothing is available.

Has anybody actually bought stuff of Argos.ie in the last few weeks?

Fitness isn't deemed essential, neither I or Argos are saying that it's the conditions of what they can sell or not sell. If they were doing click and collect for weights etc other sports stores would argue why can't they do click and collect

As for delivery they are just doing large items for delivery I'd imagine because of brexit and costs

I can buy a digital photo frame in Argos but I cant buy a regular photo frame ... essential versus non-essential!
