Title: What The Hell Happened.....
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 25 May 2021, 17:21:34
...... To Argos?!

Seems that they have moved to online and Click n Collect outlets in in Sainsbury's?  ???  :-\

I need a new printer and the nearest Argos about 15 miles away has closed, which is a pisser because living in a rural area there's not much nearby and that one was handy.   :(

Amazon wins again!  >:(

Oh dear, poor Worzel. I've got two Argos and two Sainsbury's local within five miles, and Barnsley ain't exactly the centre of the universe.  ;D

Didn't you get the memo, old style retail has one up the shitter, because millennials don't understand how to use real shops.

I'm delighted we had a Sainsburys open in Brakkers last year, so now have an Argos outlet on my doorstep :)

Am I right in thinking that it's just a click n collect outlet though?  ???  Or can you nip in and get what you need?  :-\

For the most part its click and collect, but does hold some stock.  Given its size, its not often they have the sorts of things I buy in stock.

In your case, if the old one was 30 mile round trip, the £3.95 postage is probably cost effective.

It was just handy when you needed something right away and couldn't wait two or three days for something to turn up.   ::)

Or not in your case!  ;D

With our local Argos, although invariably it says it will be 3 or 4 days, its normally next day.

I feel your pain though, being a life long townie, when I moved to Brakkers it took a long time to get used to not having everything available on the doorstep.

It's no biggie, Andy, if I can't remember which thread I'm supposed to be posting on, a kind admin usually moves it for me  ;D

Yes you've been able to get Argos stuff from Sainsbruys for at least a good couple of years now.
