Click and Collect any one had trouble collecting using multiple names
 

Has any one tried picking up parcels from argos using different names on the same day

Re: Click and Collect any one had trouble collecting using multiple names
 

That may raise a few eye brows... I have never tried it

Re: Click and Collect any one had trouble collecting using multiple names
 

Always good to space things out when dealing with different names - any service

Re: Click and Collect any one had trouble collecting using multiple names
 

Anyone can pick a parcel up with the collection code, just say its a friend or relatives. Might look suspicious if you're picking up for 5+ names though

Re: Click and Collect any one had trouble collecting using multiple names
 

I dont think they ask for the name... at least i've never been asked.

For the most part, if the code matches, they seem fine with it.

Re: Click and Collect any one had trouble collecting using multiple names
 

It varies from store to store. I've been asked for first name mainly and some ask for surname. I think it's only to help them locate the parcel though

I don't think they will be trained to refuse the parcels in that situation but I'd say depending on the person they may seek some advice from management. You could space the collections to be safe or enlist some help if you need them quickly.

I collect around 5-10 parcels a day all in different names, never had a problem although I do go a couple of times a day.... I just always state surnames after they ask for the code. Not been asked once why there different names.

A few of argos stores around here so i just spread the collections out between them.They usually ask for my name if i dont state it.
Dont think the argos staff care as long as the code matches and its off their hands :).

I was collecting once at Argos ,and a guy in front of me was collecting multiple parcels with different names ,,he couldn't even remember the names ,,he had to look on his phone for names ..The assistant was a bit miffed with him but she still gave him his parcels

Sounds like Spindoctor and Bradd both shop at the same argos!

Re: Click and Collect any one had trouble collecting using multiple names
 

Sounds like the OP has nothing to worry about!

I was thinking of asking him are you a stealther mate ?

Re: Click and Collect any one had trouble collecting using multiple names
 

Odds are he was probably collecting, to then deliver them. Shutl used to offer such service for those who cant make it into store to collect, they dont anymore.

Re: Click and Collect any one had trouble collecting using multiple names
 

It depends the staff at Argos, sometimes i got interogated when collecting my own parcel 😂

Re: Click and Collect any one had trouble collecting using multiple names
 

Some ask and some don't I have found...
I got my flat mate to pick one up once that was ordered from stealth account but I forgot to give him the name.....
well they asked for a name,he couldt give the right answer.....and they still gave him the parcel!!!
.....I was GOB SMACKED...imagin trying to do that down DHL

Hahahahahhahahah

Re: Click and Collect any one had trouble collecting using multiple names
 

Wow.... that is really poor training

Re: Click and Collect any one had trouble collecting using multiple names
 

All that's needed is the pick up code. The name is just to help them identify the parcel quicker

Re: Click and Collect any one had trouble collecting using multiple names
 

Usually i will have a difficulty collecting my parcel if Argos assistant is Indian. I think in India there are a lot scammers and they are very vigilant. I don't know maybe its just with me ��

Re: Click and Collect any one had trouble collecting using multiple names
 

Im to frightened to try it in-case they keep my items

Re: Click and Collect any one had trouble collecting using multiple names
 

If all they need is a code and the name doesn't matter I don't see that being an issue

Just kick off a fuss if they refuse to give it to you and site their terms & conditions in which it says just the code is needed.
