Furniture and upholstery FAQs

From ordering fabric swatches and delivery, to learning how to care for your products, our helpful FAQs have you covered…

Can I order a fabric sample?

If there's an item you like, head to the product page where you'll see an option to request a fabric swatch. Click on the link and follow the steps.

How will I receive my furniture order?

You'll receive a text from Argos on the evening before or morning of your delivery with a 2-hour delivery window. Our Argos drivers will call you when they're nearby to discuss delivering your order safely. If you're self-isolating, please make us aware so we can rearrange your delivery date.

Made to order items will incur an 8-10 week lead-time. Occasionally we experience delays; if this happens we'll contact you with an updated expected delivery date. When your item is ready for delivery, we'll phone you at least 10 days ahead of time to arrange a date.

Please ensure there will be a person aged 18 or over to accept delivery. We'll deliver to your room of choice if there is adequate access and space, and we recommend measuring your doorways and room to make sure your piece will fit before ordering.

Can I place a ‘Made to Order’ order?

Yes, you can place a ‘Made to Order’ order. For more information on Made to Order and how to complete your order, please click here.

Should I consider measurements before purchasing my furniture?

It's important to measure your space correctly. We recommend measuring your entrance, route and the space your product will sit before ordering.
