Ah yeah, the Argos catalogue. I used to walk past their stores on my way to work. You'd see hundreds of them on pallets outside the store for people to take. By the end of each day the pile would always be much smaller as they were pretty popular. During lockdown here in the UK I've used Argos quite a few times and I've been pretty impressed with their service. I've got same day deliveries on a whole bunch of items which Amazon were going to take 3-4 days to deliver (even on prime). That and not having to trawl through hundreds of cloned products and not knowing if reviews are legitimate, it was a pretty relaxing process.

During the early part of lockdown, there was a period of several weeks when Wahl hair clippers were impossible to find in Argos (online or store) or Amazon.co.uk, even though many similar models were plentiful here in the US (and even being sold at a discount). It was a frustrating experience searching on the Argos web site (as you can't filter out items which aren't in stock locally). But the popular models came in stock at Argos before they did at Amazon.co.uk (at least first party, regular price).
