    Not sure how - but who cares!

    When I collected mine I was told it was because they were on buy one get one free!! SA's couldn't believe it and were gutted there were none left to reserve! :beer:
  • When I try and reserve them it just says

    Unable to check stock at this time

    So grateful to the OP. Picked up 16 earlier today. I volunteer in a homeless shelter over the Christmas period and I took them in earlier today on my shift as a nice chocolate treat for the guests. They went down really well and didn't cost me a bomb.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! :T

    Stupid question, but how do i order more than 1? it only brings up 1 in the quantity drop down box when i try to add more...

    also, do you need to reserve or can you just go in and order there?
  • Picked up my 4 reserved chocolate oranges - and although I had my £1 coin ready to hand over, the assistant told me it was only 50p. Great BOGOF bargain.

  • really annoyed with Argos,

    They rang me to tell me that they had completely sold out of these, so my order had been cancelled. I have 5 reserved, plus my mate reserved 5 and some de-icer, and i wasnt allowed to have any as apparently out of stock, yet i look online and it says over 5 left to collect!!!

    For stores that were not open yesterday;

    Apparently when someone went in Bromsgrove store today to get their reservation the staff grabbed loads for themselves, which is fair enough but i wonder how many were already reserved as i bet they did not check how many were reserved stock.

    So again GO EARLY if you have reserved some as a lot seem to get "stolen" according to the sales staff as the day goes on.



    I am all for staff having some but they should reserve them as we did . It is very unfair to grab peoples reserved stuff .

  • Just seen this thread! Reserved ten the day before yesterday and got a phonecall in the morning whilst we were sale shopping in Dunelm Mill. They said they were cancellling our reservation as they were phantom items on the website and didnt exist! I can see from here that they do! :mad: I wonder what happened to my ten? :rolleyes: Was going to save them for my kids parties.:confused:
