    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 :D

    Worried me a bit at the time but i would have checked it before leaving the shop anyway.
  • 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!

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

    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.
