Can there be bans handed out for code requests please? People getting greedy reserving it in multiple branches being ***** and then trying to platy the white knight cases offering them up. Should be banned from BAs altogether.

Sounds like someone didn't get a printer :rolleyes:

What annoys me is I come here looking for bargains and it's all code requests and I reserved but didn't bother picking it up

I signed up to their site over the weekend and went as far as payment details but then decided to leave it.

I got a missed call from them yesterday and then an email today with a 10% code if I wanted to complete my purchase.

Same here. I answered the call and it was some guy asking if I wanted to place an order over the phone and said I could call back if I needed anything.

I'll probably use the 10% code once I get the printer.

Doodah7 · 25-08-2015 9:25pm

It's more about posters being too stupid to notice that the thread title specifically states NO CODE REQUESTS...

DopeTech · 25-08-2015 9:28pm

Picked up the Epson printer today, came up at 58 on the self service so had to show the email but got it for 21.99 without any problems. Have it set up now. Excellent value.

Requesting and swapping of codes is what has been banned. Offering them is ok and someone responding to that offer asking can they have it etc. is also ok. What's not ok is a general request like "does anyone have a code for..." and these types of posts are being deleted.

RossieMan · 25-08-2015 10:32pm

Surely someone reserving in multiply stores and offering the codes then is idiotic? Fair enough for someone who can't get in and wants to be useful and not let it go to waste. These people reserving in multiple stores are what gets me, I don't even want a printer, but I'm sure some people do. There's a separate thread for codes to be fair, that's where they should be going.

This has already been debated to the death on an open thread in feedback I think it was. And this was the best solution we could come up with and most people agreed on. I don't believe we're encouraging people to order in multiple stores any more, like what was happening before we brought these new rules in when people were just snapping them up to swap for something else they actually wanted. If they're doing it now it's for their own reasons and there's nothing we can do about that. If you read the first post on the codes thread you'll see we do ask that people don't do it for the sake of getting a pat on the back on Boards.

The separate thread for codes was a trial more than anything, we didn't know if it was going to work or if we should just let people offer their codes on the individual Argos threads. So nothing was set in stone in this regard.

Anyway like I said, this has already been discussed and agreed upon by mods, admins and many users so this is not the place to discuss it again. I just thought I'd make a few comments to clear things up, but let's leave it at that now and get back on topic, thanks.

Ordered one for Liffey Valley within the same timeframe as you (Tues-Thurs).

Reservation confirmation number received but nothing else.

As it happens I got lucky with Argos Blanchardstown and managed to reserve one last Friday for pickup on Saturday.

Was this price only within a timeframe Tues-Thurs?
I'm not needing one now, but at that price? & wireless too, not bad!
& thanks to OP for inkjet.ie as cartridges are cheap there!

Is it with certain products on sale for a couple of days, as i see the low price & hi price on the tv ads, is that a new thing to advertise old price or something else?

The high & low price is on checkargos.com which isn't anything to do with the official argos website. It's a 3rd party website designed by a boards.ie member.

It's to help users know if the current price is the best price or to wait.

bored_newbie · 28-08-2015 10:08am

I set the printer up last night. The iPad app will be very handy for printing email reservations etc.
