The homepage
The homepage is the starting point of online shopping with Argos. From this page, you can browse through our entire range by selecting the product category you‘re interested in. The homepage also contains links to our special offers and price cuts, as well as weekly higlights and customer services/information pages. At any point during your visit, you can return to the homepage by clicking the ‘home’ link at the top of the page, or on the Argos logo in the top left corner of your screen.
How do I search for products?
There are several ways of finding products on Argos.co.uk. You can browse our online catalogue, search for specific products and catalogue numbers, or have an overview of our entire range with the help of our A-Z index.
Browse
You can browse through our entire online catalogue by selecting one of our main product categories, from the navigation bar at the top of your screen. Each time you select a category from these main menus, you'll then be shown a list of relevant sub-categories and criteria that you can select for further browsing.
For example, the top navigation bar will display a list of all main product categories, such as Home & Furniture, Video games, Jewellery & Watches, etc. When selecting Home & Furniture, for example, you will be shown a drop down, listing all of the relevant sub-categories such as Beds, Sofas & chairs, etc. You can then select any of these sub-categories and browse until you find the product(s) you're looking for. You can also view products by different criteria, such as by brand, by size, etc.
Search
You can search for products by name, brand or catalogue number. Just enter the type of product (e.g. iron, kettle, bed) or the brand name (e.g. Sony, Hotpoint, Lego) into the search by word or catalogue number box and we'll return all of the products which match your chosen word. Entering a valid catalogue number into this search field will take you straight to that product.
A-Z index
You can use our A-Z index to find the products you‘re looking for. Simply click on A-Z index and we will give you a list of all the types of products we offer. From this list, you can access our whole range as well as the A-Z by brand, which will give you a selection of all the product brands available on our website.
How do I check latest prices and stock availability?
We're always lowering our catalogue prices and running special offers. With so many great deals, you might find that many items are cheaper than you thought! Luckily, Argos.co.uk always has the latest prices. Wherever you see a price advertised on this website, you can be sure it is the latest price available. Alternatively, there is a fast and easy way to check product prices using our Price & stock checker. Simply enter the catalogue number you‘re looking for and we'll tell you the latest price available.
You can also check stock for home delivery or store pick up. Just enter the catalogue number and your postcode in our Price & stock checker and we'll confirm stock availability for home delivery and store pick up at your local store. If you wanted to order an item for home delivery but found it was out of stock, you can provide us with your email address and we'll let you know when the product's back in stock.
Shop by catalogue numbers
If you already know the catalogue number of the product(s) you're interested in, then Shop by catalogue numbers is ideal for you. Simply enter all of the catalogue numbers and click 'view items in trolley'. All of the products will be added to your trolley and you can then decide if you'd like to buy online or reserve for store pick-up.
How do I order for home delivery and pay online?
Once you've found the products you were looking for, you can buy or reserve them online. To do so, just click the 'Add to Trolley' button for each product selected, or use Shop by catalogue numbers if you already know the catalogue number of the product(s) you'd like. You'll then be directed to your 'trolley'. Remember, you can remove products from your trolley or stop the ordering process at any time.
Please note:
- All prices are shown in £ Sterling and are inclusive of VAT, unless stated otherwise. Where savings are shown, higher prices were charged either online or in our stores
- Click on the product name to view details of footnotes marked by a † or *, the details will be shown in the additional information panel. For further details on pricing footnotes, please Contact us.
- We're sorry we're unable to offer personalised jewellery or rings through this website or Argos Direct at present. Please visit your local store to place your order.
Once you have added all of your items to your trolley, select the 'Buy for home delivery' option and click 'continue' to proceed to checkout. If you intend to take advantage of our great credit deals and you already have an Argos Card, you can pay via the 'Buy for home delivery' option. If you don't have a card then just select the 'Get great Argos Card credit deals' option instead and proceed to 'Apply & buy for Home Delivery'.
Before you enter your details, we'll ask you to confirm your house number/name and postcode so we can check your chosen products are available. Once stock has been checked and is available, we'll then ask you to complete your delivery and contact addresses. All fields marked with an asterisk must be completed. You will be presented with the delivery options which are available for your order. These options will vary depending on the type of products you've ordered. See Home delivery information for more details.
Having completed the delivery details, you will be asked to complete your payment details. Again, all fields marked with an asterisk must be completed. You can pay by most major credit and debit cards or with your Argos Card. Your details will be encrypted to keep them secure. See our Security section for more details.
After completing your payment details, select 'continue' to place your order. You'll receive an on-screen acknowledgement with your order number and details, which you should make a note of for future reference. We'll also send you an email confirming we've received your order.
Please note that you can place an order from overseas, provided delivery is to a mainland UK or Northern Ireland address. If you're ordering from overseas, please enter the UK delivery postcode instead of your own postal/zip code in 'your address'.
PayPal as a method of payment
How does it work? It is simple, on the payment page, select PayPal as your chosen payment method and when prompted login to your PayPal account, you will see all your order details and be asked to confirm payment. On confirming payment you will then be presented with your order confirmation page on argos.co.uk.
You will receive an email from us confirming your order along with a further email from PayPal confirming your payment.
How do I reserve products for store pick up?
If you'd rather not pay by credit/debit card online or if it's easier for you to collect your products rather than wait for delivery, then we suggest you Check & Reserve. Please note that some products in some areas cannot be reserved for store collection without prior payment. These will be displayed as ‘Only available to pay now'.
Check & Reserve is easy. If the items are in stock, they'll be held for you at the store of your choice until the end of the next working day. If they're not in stock, they can be ordered in for you and will usually be available for collection within 3 working days.
Once you have added all of your items to the trolley, select the 'Collection' option and click 'continue' to begin the reservation process.
If you haven’t signed in we will ask you to do so. If you aren’t registered with Argos we'll then ask you to enter your postcode or town name so we can show you which stores are nearest you. Once you've selected the store where you'd like to pick up your products, we'll check to see if stock is available.
Once we've confirmed that stock is available at your chosen store, you can then complete your reservation by selecting the 'place reservation' option in your trolley. We'll provide you with an on-screen confirmation of your reservation, which will include the dates when you can collect your item(s), along with a reservation number. You should make a note of this number, as you will need to quote it in-store to pay for and collect your items. You can also choose to receive your reservation details by email and text message.
Alternatively if you are registered with Argos.co.uk you can 1 Click Reserve your item from the 'product page' you are on. The stock for your favourite store will be shown on the page but you can also see the stock available in your other selected stores by using the 'change store’ option. To reserve an item, simply select the store you want to reserve the item at and select the 1 Click Reserve option. You will be taken straight through to your on-screen confirmation and we will send you an email with your reservation details. We also offer you the option to receive a text message with your reservation details.
How do I place a FastTrack order?
We offer a FastTrack service in selected stores. See here for more details.
Can I take advantage of the various Argos Card credit deals online?
Once you've added all the products you were looking for to your trolley, you'll be given the choice of all the plans that are available for your order.
