Better still, don't buy anything from Argos.

Why not?

Zero value over and above ordering the items from a web site.

Not exactly; if you can get goods 'over the counter' there's the
advantage of not having to wait for a delivery.

Yup, and prices can be better than websites. I also like being able to
look things up and reserve online, knowing they have just what I want
and just have to pick it up.


A while ago I bought a TomTom thingie from Argos. After a short time
the carrying case stitching failed and I had no bother whatever having
the whole kit & caboodle replaced with no paperwork or questions asked
(as is only right). There wasn't the hassle of having to parcel up and
post the machine to some vague destination...

My returns experience to argos has also been similarly good.

Yes some of the stuff they sell is a bit rubbish, but that goes for lots
of places. But mostly they sell branded stuff it seems and you pretty
much know what to expect.
