    is jewellery under guarantee at argos anyway
  • I reserved one 100g gold chain for £141.89 a a couple of hours ago. Rushed down to collect it in my local Argos. With great anticipation I gave the assistent my reservation confirmation. A minute after she returned with the item. She took it out of the box and to my dissapointment it didn't weigh more than 10 grams so a misprice. Needless to say, they didn't honour it and I didn't buy it.

    I think that some of us could not resist calling them to verify weight. As soon they realized, they got all the good item replaced around UK for the lower quality one.:D :easter_os

    It could very well be the case. The reason I had high hopes was the earlier offer of a 1oz necklace for £134 something. I wasn't quick enough and missed out on that one. This time it was a misprice I guess.

    Well, this is very interesting. I was going to go to verify my self with my electronic kitchen scale and I scanned through all the branches in London to reserve one. I cannot believe this: none is in stock. Are they now spying us and have they looked in to it after the experience they had and subsequently withdrawn it or once again this was a genuine bargain spotted by thousand members of this forum and already reserved all the available stock?? I hope so after all despite the fact that I really wanted to gain some more cash out of it.:confused::confused:

    i still reckon they put the weight wrong (100g instead of 10g) rather then it being a misprice as such

    Sorry,that's what I meant. They got a zero wrong on the weight description rather than mispricing it.

    I looked at this chain when I went to collect the other one and can confirm that it is only 10g and not 100! I was rather disapointed to say the least lol!

    Has anyone seen the other 70g one 'in the flesh' or is this a weight misquote too?

    I didn't see the 70g one, but I assume that's the case.
