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

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

Re: Argos
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....................

Re: Argos
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.

Re: Argos
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!

Re: Argos
Hi argos been delivering to spain n gib for about 4yrs . They charge you for the book as well. I was going do it, but the delivery charge was dear at the time, so i just bought something else here instead , And cheaper.
