Argos

Argos is probably one of the biggest catalogue stores in the UK, with over 750 stores, and this store seems to be one of the bigger ones in the area, with it of course being located in the Arndale Shopping centre of a major, busy city, which must receive hundreds of visitors a day, in this branch alone.
This store seems to have a great range of stock, as you would expect from a large city centre store, however due to how busy it gets, I would recommend that you avoid this particular branch and visit one in a quieter area for example, to avoid long queuing to just pay for your item, and then waiting on top of that to collect it.
Argos could make the queuing system better by getting someone to run down, and ask what product you are buying, like you get at Starbucks for example, hence the waiting time is as low as possible, and the customer leaves happier.
I did originally try to use the automatic card payment machine, but was turned away as my order number wouldn’t go through the till, and I couldn’t type in the product id, as it seemed they had run out until 4pm on the following day.
My queue was a little longer than I had anticipated, even for a busy, city centre branch, and my server was a little slow, asking me to repeat a few things, such as the order number, and she didn’t seem to provide me as much information as I would at other stores, which are not as busy perhaps.
When I collected my order, I was surprised that they scribbled all over my receipt with a permanent marker, rather than using the «Received stamp» but I didn’t have a problem with this, and it was probably done through staff rushing as they were so busy.
Overall, this is quite a nice Argos store, but due to problems with the machines and it getting really busy, I would suggest to visit this Argos store at a last resort, but still they do seem to have a good range of products in stock here, and do deserve at least 2 stars.

needed a few small electrical items and argos always
have good offers on all year round. new hair striaghtners were £24
and a new iron was £25 all half price or less and you
can put extra cover on them
when my blender slipped off the draining board and cracked argos
replaced it no questons asked! they dont argue with you if either
if you decided somethings not suitable they automatically refund on
most items unless stated. just waiting now for a new xbox one on some
sort of offer and am sure argos will fuliful it.
Have bought everything from here from my tv to my dvd player and never had a problem.

Everyone loves Argos!
Buyer– ‘I need item xxx, don’t know which one to choose and I don’t want to spend a bomb’
Me– ‘Argos!‘
Yes, we all think of it that way. A huge space with nothing in it and only catalogues. Boy do they have everything you could ever want! From home to office to kitchen to rooms to electronics to jewellery to beauty to children to literally every category that mankind has come up with!
I have bought speakers, pillows, duvet covers and laptop accessories and I’ve been served more than great!
If you’re the kind who hates moving window to window for the perfect something, how about you look at one catalogue, have all the possible options in front of you and just punch in the code! There, 4 hours saved and you’re going home immensely satiated!

Argos… oh Argos how we love you. We love the fact that we can go into the shop… open your little catalogue and find anything and everythingwe could possibly need. We love the fact the fact that when we have found what we want we type in a little number and it tells it if you have it… which you normally do. We are estactic about the fact we get given a little ticket and then we can park our little bums and just wait for our number to be called. The glee on our faces when you bring our treasure from the never ending hidden storeroom. Argos we love you!

Argos is a great little store, you can get all your christmas presents under one roof and they also give vouchers off when you spend over £50, I find it easier to reserve on line and then go in to pick everything up, that way you will not be dissapointed when items are out of stock, the sale items soon go out of stock.
They have a very good system and have put in new machines so you dont have to queue and pay you just use your credit card and get a receipt to collect your goods.
There are plenty of chairs now in the shop as they have changed it around.
Christmas is probably the worst time to shop at Argos as it is very busy there are usually big queues and a long long wait for your goods, it may be better to order online for their delivery service.
The insurance they offer on all their items is absolutely great, I always purchase it on electricals, it covers you for 3 years accidental damage etc and is very low priced for the cover you get.

how come they put adds in the paper for apple touch with £100.00 off when you go in the day after to be told they are out off stock till the new year?

Not a bad little argos parking is a nitemare because its shared by Asda and instore. People who tend to park in the disabled and parent and toddler bays dont tend to be entitled to do so. Displays are good and it is always well staffed there are plenty of chairs to sit on whilst waiting, and the screen is easy to see and hear. Staff are polite even though they seem really busy all of the time! Its very rare they are out of stock and there always seems to be discounted stock to buy from behind the collection counter. Its a bit small for pushchairs but is managable. Its pretty bog standard of other Argos’ with good bargains and a catalouge to look in. There are cash machines outside and accross the rd is a petrol station with cheap Asda petrol.

Everyone knows of the Argos catalogue. Argos is great for the following reasons: it sells just about everything you might ever need, its good value for money and they have great sales. They home deliver large items and you can opt for an argos store card which will give you a certain amount of interest free credit. Selling everything from sofas, beds, toys, toilet seats, kettles, xbox’s, knives and forks, dog beds to jewellery, tents and home gym equipment. I personally enjoy their gift ideas section in the catalogue as there are always some great ideas! Staff are normally friendly in this store and most are willing to help. Waiting time isn’t normally too long although they do get busy at weekends and it is always hammered at Christmas!
