Stu Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 eBay have been doing this click and collect at argos for some time now has anyone used it? does it work or is it a shambles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donald463 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Parcel delivered to Argos by a carrier that could just as easily delivered it to my home.Only advantage I can see is if it needs signing for and you are not in.Argos sends you by email a code number and they will not let you have parcel without it.This usually means you cannot collect parcel until day after day of delivery.

Stu Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 thats the trouble theres never anyone in on delivery slots I dont really care if I get it a day later as long as it works! the missus can pick it up as its around the corner from her work where as depending on shifts etc picking up from post office is a pain in the arse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_stu Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I use it all the time because I'm never in when they turn up. Works well.Only time I had an issue was when delivery courier text me to say it was ready at their depot so I went to collect it and they wouldn't give it me as it was addressed to be collected at argos....stupid to text me but not the end of the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzie Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I use it all the time, argos near me has a late night once a week so I just pop in after work.For stuff you have to sign for especially it's mint but I use it for pretty much anything too big or things that work wouldn't like me having delivered here (like protein shakes or bike bits).

I was told the anodized parts had returned last Friday and the kit would be posted first thing Monday morning, it's now going to be Thursday before it lands here " If l'am lucky" That's Parcel force for you Joy!

Chrissb6 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Fantastic NOT! Having sat in all week waiting for my parcel to arrive and trying to track it. This morning l popped into my garage for 10 minutes l had left the side gate open so somebody should of known l was in, never heard a shout nothing! Go's to the front door only to find a card had been put through the door telling me l had missed my delivery and that l needed to collect my parcel from the local post office. "kin fuming". What a total waist of time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
