The company had been labelled "sexist" over it use of the phrase.
Argos has made the decision to remove a phrase branded as "sexist" from all its catalogues following a customer complaint, reports The Manc.
After several members of the public took to social media at the weekend to call the retailer out over its use of of "two-man delivery" in several pages of its catalogues and on signs in stores across the UK, Argos has now confirmed that the phrase has been removed from its branding.
Questioning Argos over the phrase, one person wrote on Twitter: "I noticed in one of your stores your ad was sexist - two-man delivery. Hopefully moving forward you’ll change this to two-person delivery."
Another added on Twitter: "Two MAN delivery, really Argos? This poster shocked me at the weekend - not very inclusive language. I’m sure the Argos workforce is made up of so many fabulous individuals…not only men…but women and non-binary?"
They said it was an "outdated phrase in this day and age".
A third person critiqued the retailer: "Can you explain why you put up a ‘two-man delivery’ sign in your brand new Lewisham shop? Do you only hire men to deliver heavy goods? It’s a very outdated and insensitive phrase."

One of the customers also shared a picture of a sign which showed a delivery truck underneath the words "2 man delivery".
According to several reports today, Argos has now listened to the customer complaints and has replaced it from "two-man delivery" to "two-people delivery".
According to The Sun, Argos had previously defended the usage of the word “man” by saying it was used as a non-gender term in a way that was similar to “human”, and that the company had many female delivery drivers.
"We updated our wording earlier this year to ensure we reflect the diverse communities we serve and colleagues we work with," the company confirmed in a statement on social media.

Marks & Spencer food hall on Wellington Street set to close later this month
As of the end of March we won't be able to get our Percy Pig fix on Wellington Street any longer.
Whether you're popping in for a Dine in for Two Meal Deal or an iconic Colin the Caterpillar cake, there's no denying that we all love a cheeky trip to M&S.
After all, it's not just food...it's M&S food.
But unfortunately for us, one Marks & Spencer food hall in the city centre is closing its doors for good at the end of this month.
The one in question is on Wellington Street, just round the corner from the train station and nearby the Wellington Place development.

Signs have gone up on the windows announcing its closure, stating it will be closing on Saturday 22 March 2025.
Now the only two remaining stores are the train station location and the superstore on Briggate.
We here at The Hoot shared the sad news via Instagram and were met with mixed responses.
Comments said: "This is an odd move to make, I use that store a lot. We have a massive residential population now in the West End, including myself and we'll be left with just two supermarkets to serve the whole district, Tesco and Sainsburys."
"Like most of these developments they can’t predict the footfall, just like down at Leeds dock, it’s a ghost town because people go into the centre. Oh and if you want a big shop, you’ll take your car to either crown point or whiterose to put your shopping in."
"I love this store ! I use it all the time . Also get my clothes collections from there - I hate going to the big one in town and the station one is not great . I will really miss it @marksandspencerfood please rethink !"
So if you're after a final browse around the food hall, you've only got a few more weeks to do so.
Tesco is set to trial personalised Clubcard prices giving shoppers even cheaper offers
Emily Sergeant
Tesco is trialling personalised Clubcard offers which give customers tailored prices based on their purchases.
The supermarket ‘s Clubcard loyalty scheme has more than 20 million people signed-up nationwide, making it one of the most popular of its kind on the market, by far – but over the coming weeks, prices could begin to get cheaper for some than they already are as part of the new ‘Your Clubcard Prices’ scheme being trialled.
The scheme, which is being launched nationwide to a select group of people, will see shoppers sent new personalised offers every Wednesday, on top of all other existing deals.
These will be sent via the Tesco Clubcard app, and added automatically at the checkout.

At this moment in time, it’s believed to be unclear how many people are a part of the trial, and also how long the trial will last for.
What we do know, however, is that customers will be able to use their personalised offers multiple times for a total of seven days in larger Tesco stores, but at present, they unfortunately can’t be used in Express locations.
“We are constantly looking for ways to make Clubcard work harder for our customers,” a Tesco spokesperson explained.
“We are currently offering Your Clubcard Prices to a trial group of our Clubcard members, giving them offers on products they regularly buy at Tesco, in addition to the thousands of Clubcard Prices available to all Clubcard members each week.”
The news that Tesco is trialling personalised Clubcard offers comes after the retailer was advised by leading consumer watchdog, Which?, last February to make prices clearer for customers.
It also comes after the UK’s cheapest supermarket of 2024 has was revealed.
