I recently used this website to reserve an item and put in my postcode to find the closest store however it decided to reserve the item at a store further away that i couldnt get to in the time they would keep it for. They should let you choose what store it is reserved at as i couldnt see an option to change it and it didnt tell you what store it was until the reservation was completed.

To be fair to Argos, there online shopping is some of the best that I have seen. You can reserve items in store, use the site to check stock availibility, and start things like wedding lists. Really is a good and easy to use site, and I would advise this to anyone.

A busy but easy to use Argos catalogue shopping website offers a massive range of products that can be either mail ordered from this site or reserved to pick up in a nearby store. The site is easy to navigate and purchasing is relatively easy however it can be difficult to simply browse items if you don't know what you are looking for as the products are endlessly subdivided into categories which you need to back track out of each time you have viewed the items in the narrow category which can get annoying. Besides that it is a fairly good site.

A good site to purchase argos products which you then collect from the stores. It is useful as you can find out up to date information about what how many of a certain item are in stock at a given store.

This is a good website beacause it is easy to use and offers all the products in the catalogue at one with up to date special offers. The site is easy to navigate around and it is also easy to purchase items using your credit card. The one bad thing is that it is somtimes difficult to find somthing as a gift and not knowing what to get.

This is a easy to use website and acts basically as a online catalogue. Everything that is in the store catalogue is in this one. There are a number of categories on the home page that send you to the appropriate products. There is also a search bar at the top of the site for when you want to search for specific products. You do need to register in order to buy online but this is quick and easy to do. A very useful site for people who are unable to get to the store or have a busy schedule.

The great thing about Argos stores has always been the very cheap prices and this website is no different. I recently bought some lifting weights from this site and was apprehensive about how much postage and packaging would be. The weights were delivered to my house in a matter of days and the postage and packaging was very reasonable considering the weight of the package. A very good site.

Argos online gives its customers the opportunity to shop online in the comfort of their own homes.
They have the same products that can be found in the catelogue, however they do provide extra discounts online.
With an easy registration system, its a stress free way to shop.

An excellent website with a good easy-to-use layout. It is much more convenient than to use one of the argos stores, as you dont have to queue, and the website can easily tell you whether a product is in stock or not.

This site has been designed well in that navigating yourself around it is simple and quick to use. I would go as far to say it is better and more efficient than going to the outlet itself because you can avoid the queues and the website will tell you if the product is in stock or not; therefore avoiding a wasted trip.

I find that this is far easier to use than an argos outlet. Mainly as there is no messing around with queues and going through the lengthy process of selecting your goods out of the catalogue is entirely removed. The website is laid out nicely and is simple to navigate, the special deals secetion is clearly shown and is always worth visiting to pick up a bargain. Overall I'd say don't waste your time going to a store as online is faster and cheaper when you factor in fuel etc....

I have used Argos online several times because it is very useful. Firstly, you can browse the full range of their goods (including special deals) without fumbling around with a catalogue and you can add things to your basket so you can total the prices etc. Secondly, you can order things to be delivered to your home which is extremely useful when you don't have the time to go down to your local branch or can not be bothered to negotiate with the crowds during christmas. Finally, if you don't want to pay the delivery costs (can be expensive) you can order something to your local branch to be picked up. I did this when I bought a television set and it was much better than having it delivered. Argos prices are really good although the I beg to differ with some of the earlier reviews - the quality of their goods is satisfactory, you can not make something 'very high quality' and then sell it for those prices. Overall, Argos online is valuable resource.

Argos online is avery good resource if you are ever planning to but anything from your local argos. You can easily and quickly check the stock availability at your local store or you can just order straight off the internet, saving you time and (probably) money.

I think that argos online is the best as you can just go on and see if a item is instock at your chossen store if if it can be diliverd to your home, the website can be easy to find items if you have the item number from the caterlog.

This website is fine if you know what you want, but doesnt really act as an online catalogue as I thought it would. Its relatively easy to use but can be a bit confusing as not everything is avalible for home delivery, as you would expect from a website! So you have to look closely to see if they'll send it or you have to go collect it.

Using the Argos website is a better way of looking for the item you want. Just find the item you want on the website and either place an order for it to be delivered or reserve it so you can go down to Argos and pick it up. Its easier to find your item because you dont have loads of people talking right next to you and you dont have to find a free catalogue.

A place to both browse and buy Argos' full range of items. Is a great time saving device, as once you have found the item you want, you can then simply order it to be delivered to your door, without the hassle of actually having to go into the shop itself, and then often annoyingly find it is out of stock!

Ever since seeing the advert for shopping online with argos, it seems like such a better idea. Ive always hated the number thing where you wait for ages firstly to pay, then wait for someone to stamp something. With this you pay online, then just pick up instore when it suits you, then you can go in when theres no queue. With large items you can get them delivered to your house for a small cost.

Argos online is a standard middle of the range online catalogue store. Variety and selection of products available is very good and usually most are in stock unlike the high street stores. Argos is quite highly priced though and there are many other online companies offering cheaper prices for the products you desire

I choose to do all of my Argos shopping online these days to avoid the 'crush', if you've ever stepped foot in an Argos store then you'll definitely know what I mean by crush! Simply reserve on line, get to the store type your reservation number into the self service tills and collect, it really couldn't be easier! I recently purchased some great under-bed storage bags for tidying away some winter clothing, they were so reasonable at 3.99 for a set of two. I'm hoping that by getting all my summer clothes out it will tempt the warm weather to arrive early!

Search the stock at your nearest branches, reserve your items, print off your authorisation, call into your branch, avoid the catalogue selection bun fight, go straight to payment and collect your purchases. You cant go wrong! Its a brilliant facility, which is just a further improvement on the original idea. Ive used this reservation service on several occasions and never had any problems.

the argos website is very easy to use and navigate with all of the categories clearly listed aross the top. The website also has a stock checker and price checker as well as a store locator. It is a lot easier to find stuff than in the catalogue but if you do know the catalogue number you can also search by that. The website provides more product information than the catalogue and you can buy or reserve online and it tells you wheather an item must be delivered or if it is availbale to pick up. The only annoying thing is that it lists products with prices highest to lowest when you usually want to search the other way around but you can change this with only one click.

if you ever get really mad looking for things in the argos catalogue and it takes you ages to find some random board game for your cousin, then argos.co.uk makes it easier. Cos you can search for what you want it cuts out all that searching for page 1289 in the book. Its easily set out to use, and you can search by brand, price and availability, making purchasing easier. It also gives you the option on most products to either get the item posted or pick up at a store (which saves on postage). The prices are all the same as in the catalogue and sometimes deals can be found on the site which actually make some things cheaper than in store, i dont know about you but i prefer doing that than standing in front of the catalogue in store with them crazy small pens.
