a friend of mine had some big toys delivered at Christmas - the delivery charge was minimal & they came in plenty of time - and when they said they would:thumbup:

I was so happy when I first realised about Argos in Spain, then I looked at the selection, disappointingly limited!

yes it is - especially when you follow the links again & again - to find nothing!

they list electronic games so I thought we might be able to get nintendo games at a sensible price - but they don't any games at all:frown:

but if they do have what you want it's a good service apparently

What do you suppose they mean by 'delivery restrictions'? Are there legal restrictions or do they just mean cost...? OOH I think I need to start a bit of a rant thread about postal and delivery service costs in Spain!! However if you want something delivered from England Worldwide Parcels are good.
But if you use them, specify DHL because when they use DPS the goods are treated very badly. Having said that I insured a PC that we sent with them and when it arrived in bits we did eventually get paid out. More to the good ministrations of worldwide than the company themselves who initially said the packaging was insufficient... Which was rubbish and I proved it. anyway I digress....................

It looks pretty limited to me.

Amazon have a much better choice and postage to Spain is reasonable. The only thing to present a problem is goods ordered from their "partners" often cannot be shipped to Spain.

I agree with Fred, have used Amazon for all sorts of different items and all have arrived on time and in good condition. M&S could take a leaf out of their book, their packaging skills leave a lot to be desired!
