Argos


Catalogued convenience
164-166 Kensington High Street
Kensington
London, London W8 7RG
+44 20 7795 6983
http://www.argos.co.uk/
customer.enquiries@argos.co.uk
It seems as though the familiar catalogue of Argos, which (seemingly) contains just about everything you could ever want, has been around forever. For those unfamiliar with the concept, the drill goes pick that blender, answering machine, stereo or anything else you want from the extensive catalogue, in-store. Record the item information, check if the stock is available on a coloured calculator-type device and take it up to the counter, where you can pick up your goods if available. Prices are generally reasonable, and all goods can now be ordered online. But Argos services do not end there. Ring and reserve, home shopping, wedding list, and interest free credit are amongst the multitude of services available. Branches are everywhere - check online or in your phone directory for your closest.
