argos reservation question

I was wondering if anyone knows when items that have been reserved are released so that you can reserve again?

I reserved some wii games - the last cars one in stock locally - but couldn't collect today because my little boy is ill - so I want to reserve again before anyone beats me to it.

    My store often releases reservations around 6.00-6.30 ish - seems to be within the hour after the store has closed, so worth checking around that time.

    I believe if you call the store, there can be the option to extend a reservation period though - seen mention of it but never tried it before.

    glad you managed to do it!
  • You are quite right earthmother - rather than waiting for it to be released, just ring your store with the reservation number and they can extend the reservation time for you!

    Yup it's once the store system has shut down, so usually within half an hour after the store has closed :)x
