I know I'm probably being a bit thick here but if I want to ring and beg someone to extend my reservation - what number do I phone? I get a bit flummoxed by all the "press 1 for bla bla bla" that you get. And that is why I love the internet so much - it's a gift for people like me who are afraid of telephones!!! pathetic ain't it....
I thank the font of all argos knowledge in advance!

Phone the store where the item is reserved.

Find the phone number from here: http://www2.bt.com/edq_resnamesearch

(Thanks Stumpy - hope you don't mind me borrowing your link from your site. )

Just tell them the reservation number and they should extend it for you no problem.

**sigh** - obviously the person that answers the phone at my local store has cleared off home for the day....

I rang the customer Service number 0870 600 3030 a few times for the same reason. On one occassion I was told I needed to ring the store myself, on the other couple of occasions I was very kindly assisted by ladies who rang the stores for me !

No problem - someone else told me about it!!

Beware though!!! I had to extend a reservation yesterday - was really pleased because customer services were really helpful (didn't realise I could ring the store - rang customer services instead, whose number are on the confirmation e-mail they send you), they rang the store in question and told me there were no others in stock, so they had re-reserved mine for one week. Well chuffed I was.

Then I happened to notice on the argos online checking thingy that suddenly, another of the same item - the Hot Wheels thing - had suddenly become available. Was a bit suspicious of this, as I had already been told there weren't any others there, so I reserved that as well.

Went into the store today, tried to pick up my original reservation, the one that, yesterday, customer services had apparently re-reserved for a week, and it had been cancelled. The woman at the store seemed to think that, if the reservation was extended, I should have been given a new reservation number - but if it had been just a case of forgetting to give me the new number, then the item would still have been reserved, not available for anyone else to reserve.

Was not happy. Well, I was fairly happy in that I still managed to get it, but you know what I mean.

So, I sent an e-mail to argos customer services to complain about it, via their website, and every time I tried to send it, the thing gave me an error message. There's a surprise!!!

Just managed to pick up 2 Gamecube bundles from a local store. Got home and noticed only one has the gamecube inside !!!! I know, I know, but they were put in a bag together and I didn't think to check the contents

So, what do you think the chances are that they'll believe me ?? !!

Blimey! I never thought to check mine was actually in the box! I'd better check before I give it to my 4 year old. It felt heavy enough lugging it up the road though.
Perhaps yours is on display in the store? Good luck!

Surely there will be an extra one in stock at the store, they should be able to check this out pretty quickly.

Any other great deals in the north?
