Troubleshooting

How to fix Argos not working

Argos is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach argos.co.uk over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

Reload the Argos basket
Press Command+R on a Mac or F5 on Windows, then open the basket again; pull down on the page in the app if you are on a phone. Close extra Argos tabs before you retry, because a stale checkout page can keep the old session.
Open a private window
In Safari, choose File, New Private Window; in Chrome, choose File, New Incognito Window. Sign in and repeat the step that failed, since private mode starts with a clean cookie store and shows whether your normal browser profile is causing the basket or sign-in loop.
Clear the Argos app cache
On Android, open Settings, Apps, Argos, Storage, then tap Clear cache. On iPhone, delete the app from the Home Screen and reinstall it from the App Store, then sign in when it opens.
Use the Argos help centre
Open https://www.argos.co.uk/help/ and open the checkout or delivery help page. If the help centre gives you a contact route, use that route and include the device and the step where the service failed.

While Argos is down: what to use instead

Argos website Use the browser version when the app will not load or the basket stalls, since it gives you a separate route to product pages and checkout without waiting for the app to recover.
Amazon Order household goods and electronics from Amazon when you need a delivery option that does not depend on the app recovering.
eBay Try eBay for secondhand and hard-to-find items when a shipping delay is fine.
Currys Use Currys for appliances and electronics when you need to compare models or arrange delivery.

About

What happens when Argos goes down

Argos is a UK retailer whose website and app people use to browse products, check store stock, read reviews, and place orders for collection or delivery, so an outage interrupts shoppers and households buying essentials or gifts. Those errands stall when the service fails.

Search and product pages often fail first, and a store stock check can hang or return an empty result. The basket may refuse to update, checkout can reject a payment, order history can go blank, and a confirmation email may never arrive. That leaves you unsure if the order went through. Failures are often partial: the app or checkout can break while the website still loads, and reports can cluster in one region or on one platform.

Questions

Argos FAQ

Is Argos down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports for the service are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. The site does not check the service itself. If only your app or browser has trouble, try a second device on mobile data and check whether other sites load on the same connection; a problem that follows your account or device points to your side, while failures across devices and networks point to a wider issue.

Why does the Argos app show a payment error at checkout while the website still works?

The app can lose the payment session or hit a card check that the browser route avoids, and it often reports a general error instead of the reason. Try the same order in a browser; if the card still fails there, call your card provider and use the help centre at https://www.argos.co.uk/help/.

Why does Click and Collect say my item is unavailable after the stock checker showed it in stock?

Store stock counts move fast, and the checker can lag behind a sale or a stock correction; a reservation is not held until the order is accepted. Try another nearby store or delivery, and use the help centre at https://www.argos.co.uk/help/ if an existing order is stuck.

Why does my Argos Card payment keep failing on the app?

A saved card can fail after a reissue or a billing-address mismatch, and some banks add their own check at the payment step. Try the website with the same card, then use the help centre at https://www.argos.co.uk/help/ if the decline continues.

Why does the Argos app keep signing me out and losing my basket?

An app update or an expired sign-in token can drop your session, and the basket can clear when the app treats you as a new visitor. Update the app and sign back in before you rebuild the basket; if the loop continues, use the website or the help centre at https://www.argos.co.uk/help/.

How we track Argos

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Argos, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Argos, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Argos doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
