Thought I would try my chances with JL and Argos this morning as I’m in club 13-20!

JL: got in at bang on 8. Made it to the payment screen after a LOT of hanging only for an error to occur. Couldn’t get in again.

Argos: checked out for delivery tomorrow. Payment failed as Halifax placed a fraud block on my card. After a painfully long conversation with the fraud team @Halifax managed to push my order through again for delivery tomorrow!

My question is, how reliable are Argos with their delivery promises and does anyone know which courier they use?
Someone earlier said Argos use Yodel

Park Royal depot, no time slot. Oh the wait, should just go back to sleep. Then I’ll dream about getting the delivery, and wake up to a “Sorry, we missed you. Please collect from blabla” card. Life.

Ok watch users. Ignore all those saying unpair your watch. Wasted time.

Presume you unpair it from old phone once it’s paired to new phone?

Just had a text from Paypal asking if Argos payment is fraud! They are probably aware of how much of a mess my spending is xD But in all seriousness we could be seeing tracking details for Argos orders soon if they just tried to take my funds!

The UK Mail website earlier had more detailed information (it said the driver was heading for his first stop, and that my delivery was number 11) this information has now disappeared.
 
Ecclesfield, delivering to Pontefract.

Is yours also now showing having arrived at Ecclesfield twice?

It's just a couple of miles down the road for me, but we usually get DPD round here early afternoon. I think it will be mid afternoon this time. I just want to get a slot so I can plan my day.
 
Not too bad. Driver knows us too which is good (though sometimes other drivers use his login). Depot is Snetterton.

Got a late kids Halloween party to prepare for this evening, so I’ll be occupied for the next few hours and hopefully time will fly!

Yeah twice mate.
 
Has Barclays Finance fallen over yet or is it all smooth running? Last year I was there for three hours and ended up coming back the next day. Booked a lunchtime slot this year just in case (and also because I was reminded as I had the choice of slots that I now have to do a school run...)
