I recently tried to buy a baby stroller featured in the new Argos catalogue. When I went to the store (Athlone ) I was told that the item was an "Argos Extra" item and would have to be ordered in and I could collect it in 4 days time. This didn't suit me so later that week I decided to ring and reserve the same item in the same store, but "Argos Extra" items can't be reserved, must be ordered in person at the store etc.... I consulted the catalogue at this stage and my reading of it lead me to believe that I could pick up the item at one of the four (I think) Argos Extra Stores in the Republic. I asked a friend to buy the item for me in Liffey Valley, one of the "Extra" stores. He tried his best, but was told that the stroller had to be ordered in and he could collect it in 4 days! What's the point, the whole idea of catalogue shopping is surely convenience? Instead I now have to make two separate trips if I want to purchase this item, one to order the thing, then a further trip 4 days later to pick it up. What does "Argos Extra" stand for, Extra Grief and Hassle??? Anyone have a similar experience??
