To me, going to a Robert Dyas is like letting me loose in a toyshop. A visit to Argos on the other hjand is like a trip to the dentist.
I used to endure the trips to Argos years ago, when there was a marked price differential. These days you can find many of the goods at a comparable or even better price on the internet. Like the internet, you don't see the hard goods here until you collect them. Instead you can look at the goods online or through a grubby laminated catalogue in the store. So why do I use Argos? It's their click and collect service i like. If you order something online, they will hold it in the store for you for 48 hours. You don't even have to pay in advance online if you don'e want to, but chose to do so when you collect your goods.
I try to avoid this branch at the weekend and after the school run, when the experince is like visiting a job centre, but with kids thrown into the mix.
I give this Argos three stars as it serves a purpose for me, which I think makes it A-OK. read more
