sidcow Posted May 26, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 26, 2023 I've not bought anything electrical off Amazon for a long while. Wouldn't trust it's safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely is if you have an Argos nearby and you're in a hurry. I can purchase online from Amazon and have my stuff the next day. Or purchase online from Argos, get in the car and have it in ten minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: Are the Argos branches in Sainsbury's shops as well-stocked as the stand-alone Argos stores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I use Amazon almost daily and have had zero issues in several years. Their customer service is second to none too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't stocked. It's just a delivery point. you order, it gets sent there, you pick it up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people above are talking about third parties selling through Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people above are talking about third parties selling through Amazon Both tbh. I’ve never really had an issue. A couple of times when I’ve bought something off a third party (like an electric toothbrush) it broke after more than a year and Amazon still gave me a refund even though it was a third party seller and over 12 months old. I like that if I return something they give me a refund minutes after I hand over the package to the courier, not when they’ve got it back and inspected it. 10 years ago I used to buy loads of stuff from eBay but as others has said, that’s like the wild west now but without any decent customer care.

My nearest Argos is a full-size store, but I always check availability, as it may mean the difference between having it now, and waiting for it to rock up from another warehouse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 In frankfurt Airport, going to Poland so don't need a passport so I'm in a different part than usual which is weird enough but they've got new scanners, didn't have to take anything out of my bag, don't have to put toiletries in a plastic bag any of that, was pretty good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't surprise me if they don't bother having any stock these days just use it as a click and collect thing, even if there is a fair bit of storage. Do they even do catalogues these days?
