Reserved by mistake, what do i do?

In an extreme blonde moment this afternoon, I somehow have reserved for pick up at my local store two of the same item when I was trying to reserve one only, and to use my £10 evoucher off the price, which I did not manage to do. Now I don't know how to cancel this and start again, does anyone know what happens if I just don't use the reservation number, (was going to collect on Monday evening) - or how to cancel - I would rather cancel as it may stop someone else getting one of these.
:confused: you are as you are, if you aren't as you ought to be.

    It wont make any difference if you just pick one of the items up, and leave the other:D

    just as candy girl says, they only hold them for i think 24 hours and thn put them back into stock so i wouldnt worry about it. (you could mention it when you picked the 1 item up and the other one would just be released that much earlier.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
  • Thanks. still don't know how I managed to do it but I will go and confess!

  • Just to say you can't use your evoucher when reserving stock as you have to pay for the item in store. You can only use that voucher when ordering online for home delivery.

    make sure you let someone know when and where your going , they are likely to call the police and arrest you on the spot.:o
    dont worry about it just take the one item and leave the other,

    It's an easy mistake to make, i've done it myself. But similar to you i have ash-blond hair, it use to be brown and others call it grey, but thats a four letter word, so i try not to use it.

    lordy all the time!

    If there's more than 1 item on your reservation number just say ya or nay. If you're embarrassed tell them you picked it up cheaper somewhere else!
