Darren Frost, Head of Fast Track Delivery at Argos, said: “We know Christmas is a busy time for families so it’s easy to forget essential items, or be surprised with late additions to a Christmas guest list. The dominance of toys and homewares in last minute customer orders demonstrates that when it comes to Christmas, children and house guests take priority.
“It’s inevitable that some Christmas preparations get left to the last minute. So, whether people urgently need a turkey baster, batteries for the kids’ toys, or even an emergency chocolate fountain, our Fast Track delivery service can make it happen!”
Argos has informed us that customers can order up to 1pm for same-day Fast Track delivery before 5pm on Christmas Eve with Argos, subject to availability. For further information go to https://www.argos.co.uk/fast-track
