Tier 4... will Argos and Monsoon be open?

65 replies

HermioneMakepeace · 19/12/2020 21:16

We posted DD’s letter to Santa today. The things on her list are all available at Argos and Monsoon. I had arranged a sitter for tomorrow so that I could go present shopping, however we are now in Tier 4 so I’m worried that I won’t be able to get her presents. Does anybody know? Thanks.

I think Argos will be open for click and collect

3littlewords · 19/12/2020 21:18

Monsoon no. Argos click and collect maybe

ilovesooty · 19/12/2020 21:20

Monsoon won't be. It's non essential. The Argos near me was open for click and collect during the first lockdown, but it's inside Sainsburys. I don't know if that made a difference.

They shouldn,t be but I am the same with Argos being in the Sainsbury,s. May be available for click and collect.

Blacktothepink · 19/12/2020 21:24

Surely Argos will have click and collect, if not try home delivery for both.

InTheLongGrass · 19/12/2020 21:25

I suspect both will fe closed for physical shopping.
Order before midnight today from Monsoon for pre Christmas delivery.
Argos will probably do cluck and collect (from sainsburys?).

I'd order everything online, I think. Can the babysitter even come in your house now?

Thanks. Poor DD. I promised to take her to Monsoon earlier to buy a dress for Christmas. Now it’s too late. She’s had such an awful year. Oh well. It’s for the greater good.

You can get Monsoon stuff on Next I think. They often deliver next day.

Ohbabybab · 19/12/2020 21:26

Sorry to hear that OP. Do they sell online or you could try ebay?

LubaLuca · 19/12/2020 21:27

You could order online from Monsoon, their standard delivery cut-off is midnight today.

Brunt0n · 19/12/2020 21:28

Argos will for click and collect. You’ll be able to find alternatives for the stuff on the list online i’m sure. You have left it very late considering!

toocold54 · 19/12/2020 21:34

I’m not sure whether they are open or not but I did my Xmas shopping a couple of days ago and couldn’t get a lot of the things I wanted (I know it’s my own fault for leaving it so late) but just be prepared that even if the shops are open you may not be able to get everything you wanted.

I’ve just spent the last 15 mins trying to order but it won’t accept my foreign credit card! It keeps telling me the post code is wrong, even though I have chosen the right country.

PayPal ?

bailey999 · 19/12/2020 22:56

Argos is staying open, both stand alone stores and instore at Sainsburys.

lillylemons · 19/12/2020 23:06

Argos click and collect should be open.Monsoon won't be it's none essential.

Gobbeldegook · 19/12/2020 23:20

Monsoon is on very and I think they are guaranteeing Christmas delivery on orders placed before the 21st

SusieSusieSoo · 19/12/2020 23:30

Our Argos did click & collect during November lockdown (not in a Sainsbury's) so you should be ok with that x

Horispondle · 19/12/2020 23:33

Can you get Monsoon on Next?

Can I pay cash for Click & Collect? My card isn’t working and I only have cash.

OP posts:
ApolloandDaphne · 20/12/2020 06:51

I would doubt you could use cash for click and collect. Surely you have to pay for the goods before collecting?

Can you get any of the items at a big supermarket? I think that might be your only option. You could still use your sitter but ask them to take your DD out for a walk so they are not in your house?

Failing that, if your DD is old enough to understand what is going on, then do her a letter from Santa with an IOU for the gifts saying he will bring them when lockdown is finished.

No, you have to order and pay via the Argos website / app.

Will banks be open tomorrow, does anyone know?

Starisnotanumber · 20/12/2020 06:59

Do you have a friend who can order for you if you can give them the cash.
It's prepaid order only all you need to pick up is the text or e mail that gets sent to whatever phone number you give
