• Complete a shop for collection using just a keyboard and or using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver and TalkBack)

We know some parts of the Argos website are not fully accessible. We are aware of the following issues. We aim to provide workarounds or alternatives wherever possible.

Delivery slot booking on the Argos website

It is currently not possible to select a delivery slot from the delivery slot booking grid using only a keyboard on https://www.argos.co.uk on a desktop or laptop computer.

This does not affect the Argos mobile phone apps or the website when accessed via a mobile phone or tablet.

• Argos for Android
• Argos for iOS

If you are a keyboard only or screen reader user, trying to book a delivery slot on https://www.argos.co.uk please try using the Android or iOS mobile apps instead.

If this is not possible, please call us on 0800 052 5500 (option 2) or through SignVideo, for assistance until we are able to fix this issue.

We're committed to fixing any WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility issues that stop customers from shopping. We also want to improve user experiences for customers with disabilities.

In order to do this, we:

• Use our proprietary component library called Bolt. We test components to ensure they work with most modern browsers, devices and assistive technologies.
• Our development process includes several layers of testing:
• Automated testing. This ensures that when we publish new content, we are confident that it meets accessibility standards.
• Manual testing using browser plugins.
• Manual testing using assistive technologies including screen readers, screen magnifiers, and voice recognition software.
• Review new features and functionality to meet Sainsbury's Luna design system accessibility guidance. This is based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 2.1.
