There seems to be a lot of this going on with them at the moment.
I bought a phone of them for the other half and they insisted on opening the sealed box to ensure the phone was in it before letting me have it.
Maybe i look a bit dodgy
Worried me a bit at the time but i would have checked it before leaving the shop anyway.0 -
Our Argos delivery man told us that some xbox 360s had come in at midnight - only one person working overnight and when other staff came in at 8 in the morning, there was one less xbox 360 than there should have been. Quick call to police, visit to night worker and 1 xbox 360 found in his sitting room (complete with argos label on the box). Could be a costly one that!0

My friend had this happen once and when asked they said it was now policy to check all mobile phone are complete in the box0 -

Hi, good news! went in today and they were expecting me. They apologised and said it was in a display cabinet and shouldn't have happened - I explained it was a disappointment but didn't kick off, so now got the ps2 and was also offered a choice of any game from the catalogue for free, so went for the 007 game - so all is well!
Cheers.0 -

That's an excellent outcome
Good to hear all sorted with no fuss"Part P" is not, and has never been, an accredited electrical qualification. It is a Building Regulation. No one can be "Part P qualified."
