Advantages: Less Hassle

Disadvantages: You can't see before you buy

Argos is a well known store, I see it on TV and in the paper.

It's like no other store on the high street. You choose what you want from a catalog, then simply go in store with the product number pay and collect.

Well its not that simple, first you have to choose from the massive catalog or use their website, write down the product number or numbers, then go to a store and hope for no crowds and either have another look at the book in store or check your product is in stock (that's if the machines work), then queue at the tills with 1 person on them, who is sorting something out. Then finally get to pay and get your number and collection point, whilst totally dis-regarding the estimated waiting time.

You finally see you item come down the belt and sit there for a few minuites until your number is called. At time when you see your item you have to go for it, for them to actually get it to you and press the button on the system.

I do think Argos is going down quite a bit, but its a bit less hassle, the only thing is you can't see the product before you buy, I think thats why they give you a 16day money back guarantee, as if you can't see the product before you buy, you are aloud to return it by law, without having a reason, but they don't let you do this for any software.

Summary: Good store, with difference, but it has its problems.
