Catalogue giant launches an Arran delivery service

Before Amazon revolutionised online shopping, the main name in mail order was Argos.

The firm was taken over by Sainsbury’s last year and has launched its first online Arran delivery service bringing more than 30,000 products directly to residents.

A wide range of items will be delivered in as little as two days at the standard UK delivery cost of £3.95.

Local customers shopping the website have the option to input their KA postcodes and check availability before orders are delivered by Yodel.

Paul O’Neil, northern divisional manager at Argos, said: ‘As a business we are continually looking at how to bring more affordable and convenient ways to shop to our customers, and this service to Arran does just that. We hope that our customers on the islands are as excited as we are.’

The new delivery service has also been launched on Bute for residents with a PA postcode.
