Argos tv

Not sure whether this is the right place to post this, but i reserved a tv in argos yesterday for £139.99 but today the same tv is £149.99 does this mean that i get to buy it for £139.99 because i reserved it yesterday or will i have to pay todays price?

Thanks for any help or advice

    If you have the reservation print out with the price on it then I would argue that this should be the price you pay

    Wow, thats really unfair! So they can pretty much put any price they want to get you to reserve it and then charge any price when you collect it. I know they wont but if they have the product in stock when you reserve it they know the price they are going to be selling it at.

    So if the price is reduced you would insist on paying the first, higher, price?

    If you check the the bottom of the page there is a note telling you how long the product will be at the current price

    You're not obliged to buy it at the higher price, the cashier will tell you the price before you pay - if you don't want to pay the higher price you can walk away.

    I agree. It is only £10 difference, and Argos ususally have an expiry date listed for all promos.
