Check & Reserve

Make shopping at Argos even easier, check the latest prices, reserve your items so they're ready and waiting for you in-store, or order products!

It's easy to pop in to your local store and buy your items straight away but stock of some items can be very limited so they may be out of stock by the time you get there. Why not save yourself a journey by using Check & Reserve? This way, you can make sure the items you want are in stock and reserve them so they're held in-store for you. Check & Reserve is available on all items which state 'Can be reserved, subject to store stock'. See individual product pages for details.

Items that are in stock will be held in-store for you until the end of the next working day. Items marked may not be available for immediate collection in our non-extra stores but can usually be ordered in for you from the warehouse and ready for collection within 3 working days (the exact dates will be shown on your reservation confirmation).
