    That's probably because he pay at the kiosk, I went yesterday to collect my orders and they came out at 2 toys for £15 at the kiosk, but went to the till and it was £10 for the 2 toys... So try paying at the till...

    I've just spent 30 mins in Argos because of just this problem. Had reserved the animal hospital babies and the I love ponies pack. They came up at £11.65 when I reserved. I have the reservation number texted to my phone so that was all I had on me.

    Used the till as wanted to use my £5 cashcard and surprise surprise they came up at £15. The girl was adament this was correct and in the end I said I wanted to speak to someone on Customer Services. They were none the wiser and weren't going to budge, next stop the Manager. She again was not going to honour the price without some proof and no they were unable to access email in the store nor was I able to access my Argos account.

    I then remembered my phone has internet of sorts and eventually I was able to access the email from Argos showing the price at £11.65. With a face looking like she was sucking sour grapes she put them through at this price, looked even more disgruntled when I handed over the £5 gift card!

    Make sure if you do reserve items on line you print off the email or screen print your argos account showing the price you have been quoted.

    Hope this helps someone

    Went to pay and collect, used the self service thing put my reservation number in and was coming up full price for both. Went over to the tills and explained to the girl and she said those tills never come up with the offers, she put my number into the till and came up at £15!
    So for anybody using the self service tills, dont! Go to a normal till!
