PUT THAT LIGHT OUT !

no stock in barking ,dagenham,romford,lakeside,hornchurch.

So do these keep heat in well at all? My living room is so cold, unheated stone flat, anything to keep warm in is good.

argos has the option to email the receipt to you; some stores do this and its quite useful in such situations and warranty claims too.

No good for me... taking my 2 pairs back too, they feel strange, the stitching isn't good, the packaging is cheap looking. Didn't look good at all, or hang well. Argos have inflated original prices too

Just put mine up. There nice and soft, kinda suede feeling material...

Thank you they are fab quality too, better than my original fully blackout curtains, you too x

hi good to know and I hope everything works out for you, have a great weekend

Thanks I ordered again and took the others back

How did you get on returning them? My store refused as the packaging had been opened a D in their opinion were not "re-saleable". Pretty annoyed to be honest but for a tenner I couldn't be bothered to argue. Husband said he might go back and try himself next time he's passing x

The ones that I have got have gone up £3.99 since I bought them. I've been given two sets of curtains in two different types of packaging (apparently, they have changed the packaging). I'm not too sure if the curtains in the new packaging are exactly the same - same depth of dye used, etc. Has anybody bought two sets for the same window and been given different packaging - just wondering if there is a slight difference in shade/length, etc? Thank you.

Do you know why is it showing it at the discounted price but when I add it to my basket its the full price?

Noticed the deal at 7:33pm, ordered at 7:39pm, picked up from local Argos at 7.50pm, got back home at 8.00pm and put these on at 8.03pm! 30 minutes from the deal to putting them on the rail, they look great, many thanks OP!

I got these ones in grey mist

bargain ordered 4 pairs!, 2 windows in each bexroom unfortunately

mine were peacock - definitely not fleecy!

Have some heat! Just ordered 2 pairs of grey eyelet blackout, 66x72 for £12 a pair... bargain (were £39.99!), and great reviews!

http://www.argos.co.uk/product/3029796

Is it these ones? X thanks x

Hmm I will have a look thanks x

I got grey mist too, so soft! Highly recommend!

My grey mist are fleecy

I got peacock and Heather. Which ones did you get that are fleecy? X

what colour did you get as mine are not shiny at all. mine are fleecy

I agree. I got mine and thought they looked a bit strange lol. Keep them up in my youngest boys room but the ones I got for my room I'm returning also x

I ordered some for my ordered some for my son's room, collected them yesterday. they're quite 'shiny' which isn't apparent from the photo, and lots of crackling from the polyester content! they weren't my thing, so am sending back. great price though, especially for big windows!

At this price, I wasn't expecting the quality to be that great and to be honest, I was sceptical about the blackout claim, but having bought a pair, I've been impressed enough to order another set. Bargain!

Got my 4 pairs today and very pleased with the quality for the price paid. Not a goose chase at all, no stock in my local store, but ordered and paid for online, delivered to local store in 2 days.... Not bad at all!

usual instore goose chase. 1 or 2 left around for everyone to run after.

i got no problem with wild goose chases, so long as that's what people realise they are doing and voting hot on.

i just dislike this misrepresentation tactic argos have. showing items as in stock when not. discounting when clearance levels, but presenting it as being available everywhere.

I put a pair up last night and this morning I could see the light vaguely through the curtains. I wouldn't say they are 100% black out but for the price I'm very happy with these.

according to argos website they are dry clean only

yet dozens of posts saying people got them!

don't know why everyone voting this hot. usual argos b.s. nothing in stock and never will let you add to basket to order online

thanks for this. picked up 2 pairs today and seem great value for money. have reserved another pair for collection later this week at a different store

I bought 2 pairs of the grey mist lined curtains. I really like them but one curtain is about 2 inches shorter than the other so have to take them back.

no stock left in my local stores yesterday - but now back in stock at higher price
I will click expire so you can change price

I've just picked up two pairs of the black unlined ones - reduced to £9 a pair from £29.99. When I collected them from Argos, they were presented in two different types of packing - I asked the woman who served me if they were identical curtains and was told that the colour looks the same but that they have just changed to a new type of packaging. I have not opened them, but am wondering that if they have changed the packaging, they have slightly adjusted the intensity of the black dye used - also the curtains are an approximate size and perhaps they have made them a couple of millimeters shorter/longer now, etc? I'm just thinking that when you buy wallpaper, they always say to get it all from the same batch number - the catalogue numbers on the packaging are the same, but there is a POS number on each packet and they are different? I don't know whether to take them back to see if I can get the same packaging on both, or else just leave it and hope that when put up they do look identical?

hope they refund u the difference

Got them today, haven't taken them out yet but they look a bit thin from the outside if you ask me.

thanks op ordered 3 pairs of for the bedrooms ☺

If you want the curtains to have a nice 'gather' (folds) then you will need the width to be up to double your curtain width (you can sometimes get away with an extra half width). Matching the width exactly will mean it won't close properly, and on the pencil ones it will look like a bed sheet at your window (flat)! So whatever your window/overall width size is, use this to determine what size curtain you need from the sizes given on the site (which are per curtain, therefore you're doubling up). Obviously don't do this with your drop.

The drop will also depend on whether you go for the eyelets or pencil, as pencil will hang almost directly under the pole (some adjustment possible with the small 'pockets' on the curtain), and the eyelet (metal ring in curtain) will measure from the top of ring/pole with no room for adjustment.


Use your window width for the actual width of each curtain, as you are doubling up this way. So get the size closest to 143cm and you will have a nice gather to it. Drop you will have to figure out yourself what works best with whats available


As above, get the closest to 115cm. Each of your curtains will actually only be about 57cm, but your doubling up so it will gather nicely once up.


3ft x 6.5ft is 91.5cm x 198.1cm, if this is per curtain you will need a curtain at least 137.5cm wide, preferably 180cm!

Thanks! Just bought a pair, fab deal!! :smiley:

Been back to buy some more lol kitted out my mum & dads house too!

Hi. Can someone's plz help, my bedroom window measures 143 x 170cm what price curtains will I need to purchase ? Thanks in advance

Just ordered 4 pairs myself, thanks OP. Heat added.

Awesome find, got 3 sets for our new house.. in the middle of collecting them now.. had to go to Mansfield oak tree lane and Arnold to get all 3 colours we wanted.

Cheers reserved

good bargain but in the argos website description it says dry clean only

Thank you, exactly what I needed (:

I wouldn't use iron-on tape without making a few token hold stitches as well, turn ups don't get dragged around in the same way curtains do.

There is probably a seamstress in your area who won't charge much to run a line of stitch.

Just picked some up for the living room. Heat added! :smiley:

In summer, it's light here for longer than further south... so these will be good for when I'm trying to get to sleep and it's still light outside...

blackout curtains and a comfy bed is the way to live.

Bargain and in stock.Heated

Heat-o-matic!

Just ordered 4 pairs of curtains. Thanks for sharing :smiley:

I have 3 windows side-by-side in my sitting room - each window is 90 cm (width) and 138 cm (height). I usually spread out 4 curtains on the rail - each of my current curtains is 120 cm (width) and 180 cm (height). The only problem that I find is that I have to place 3 ends of the curtains up on the window ledges as there is furniture up close to the wall below the windows. I've just realised that I can't get a shorter curtain length to fit my windows, so am just wondering if anybody has had any success with cutting a longer size of these curtains down to size (just wondering if they would fray badly). I don't have a sewing machine so was looking at perhaps using that iron-on tape that you can get to take up hems, etc? Thank you.

I would disagree, I have these myself and they don't feel or look like plastic shower curtains, they are nice decently heavy.

Thanks OP saved myself 30 quid there had one of these on my to buy list, one happy Mrs.

really stuck, we have windows that are 115 x 115 cm . what sized curtains should we get ? thanks

You don't get much sunlight in in Scotland do you? :wink:

brilliant thanks

Are you seeing the red one at that price? When I check it's showing up at £19.99.

Why oh why at 2.30am did I click on the HUKD app, spent around £100'incl curtain poles. Oh well, deals a deal! Thanks OP

we got some black ones for 12.99 last week and they're excellent quality

thank op red pair and duvet all reserved for sons new minecraft room. star :smiley:

most are £9 and above.. fairly standard price range

Argos seem to have a permanent "sale" that often seems to be clearance on the curtains, but heat anyway bc still good prices

Do I need two pairs or one pair plez?

Cheers I think that you mention is about the right size

Thank you

well theres 30.48cm in 1 foot

3 from is about 90cm and 6 feet is about. 180cm. If that's your window size you'd need 137cm drop/length curtain and the 117cm width (as that is the width of each curtain- so you'd get a span of almost 235cm which should be fine. Guess I'm. Saying you need 137cm by 117cm. Unless you want your curtains to the floor in which case you'd want to longer than a 137cm drop. X

my curtain size is the drop is 3ft and the wide is 6.5 ft so what size do I need plez anyone!!

Thanks in advance

I ordered these. The reviews are excellent x
http://www.argos.co.uk/product/3070422

Nearly ordered till the reviews said they felt and looked like shower curtains.

Yes I have done that in past once when we couldn't find the receipt. They found it on the system for us.

Do they red one comes up as £5.99, when I checked, coming up as £19.99?

Sweet,ordered a couple of sets in berry.

argos webpage states they would accept returns (refunds) on other proofs, maybe you could try:

WHAT COUNTS AS PROOF OF PURCHASE?
Any of these:

till/kiosk receipt
confirmation email
e-receipt
your order number
If you can’t find one of the above, don’t worry. We should be able to sort everything out if you have:

your card/bank statement
the email address used to buy your item
scroll down argos refund page

or you may try live chat to ask for different refund on the courtesy of the branch manager.

Hope it helps

Thank you!!! :smiley:

Thankyou OP, have ordered a new set for my daughter's bedroom. Will be perfect!

Thank you so much! Just ordered them I nearly bought them the other day at 12.99 thought that was cheap but now they are 7.99 even better!

​no problem if u go back to the store & tell them u got these yesterday they can find the receipt from their systems... worth a try?

What an absolute diamond!! Having 2 seperate windows in my lounge has always been a pain for curtains on a budget! Thank-you so, so much!! <3<3

Fantastic deal, just ordered. Thanks

I ordered a pair for collection today and it should have been £13.99 but was only £11.10. They are great for the money.
