Not available for home delivery

How can you print this on an INTERNET site:mad::mad::mad:?
Especially when i'm trying to buy an item that is quite heavy.
I can't believe that an internet site is happy selling products that aren't available for home delivery. !!!!!!?! Total nonsense!

Er..that's it really.

    It's not Argos is it? I bought a bed from them for my little one so got a £10 voucher which I can only use online. Everything I've looked at is 'not available for home delivery' so I can't get anything I want that's cheap with the voucher. Same with their sale items. GRRRR.
    There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.

    Maybe they have a store too and your expected to pick it up from there.

    Which shop was it?

    Some companies websites are basically like looking in their shop window. If you like and want something, then you have to go into the shop to buy it, because they won't come out to you.

    I must say I buy 99% of my non grocery/clothes purchases online, so am much more likely to give companies who sell via a website business.

    If a retail company doesn't even have a website nowadays, then it's extremely unlikely I would even bother considering them.

    It can't be Argos, they deliver everything, even down to the smallest piece of jewellery, if they can't deliver it it's because it's out of stock

    It can be Argos!

    If it isn't available for home delivery it means that the warehouse is out of stock. But it still may be available in some stores that have it in stock.

    Mrs V. sent me out to pick up a bathroom cabinet from Argos. As it was a nice day I though I'd walk it (45 minutes) and bring it home in one of their big bags. This cabinet turned out to be 19 kilos! My fingers were red raw from the cut marks of the bag.

    Thats what i said :doh:

    It can't be Argos because they don't say (as op quoted) " Not available for home delivery" they say "Currently out of stock for delivery"
  • I wanted to buy a microwave from Argos.
    I could buy it if I wanted to take it home BUT I couldn't have it as home delivery as it wasn't in the right part of the shop!
    I went on eBay and got a better deal.

    Not true as it isn't sold out , they just refuse to deliver this item now. I ordered something from them a couple of months ago that was only available online. Strange rules some of these companies have.
    You can carry 19 kilos?! I probably need a husband then because i've weak arms:rotfl:
  • I'm pretty sure angelic is right and there's some things they just don't sell online.
    I've been trying to get some furniture but they've always said 'Home delivery not available'. I've checked 3 times over 6 months and it's the same.

    When you're on the search results some things say 'Currently out of stock for delivery' and some say 'Home delivery not available'
    (and some say 'Home delivery from __ days')
