As the question says.
I want to buy an Oral B electric toothbrush.
Argos are selling it at £156 but Boots are selling it for £62!!!
I'd prefer to buy it from Argos as I want to take out their return/replacement policy if it breaks within the first 3 yrs.

Thanks loads!!!

    No afraid Argos don't price match, one thought have you checked the price online as Oral B have upto 50% promotion, and there show up online. x

    no argos don't they think they are above everyone else anyway it comes with 2yr manfacturer guarnatee argos only extend it to 4 yrs for another £41 on top of the £156 thats total of £207 i would either buy it from boots or if you really are that fussed buy 2 it will still only cost £124 still £83 pound saving like that anyway oral b must be confident if they give 2 yrs guarnatee my philips sonicare still going strong 3yrs on its all about how you look after it these extended warrantys arent worth it plus you get newer better items all the time. Its like saying you had a cooker 5yrs its done alot of cooking parts wear out plus all the hidden grease would you want it repaired? or would you say ill have a new one! i know what i would do.
    just buy 1 and wait for it to go bang eventually

    Frankly, I don't care about your annoyance.
    In what way is it rude to ask a question? That's the whole point of forums such as this; to stimulate discussion, share info and help each other out.
    I've tried looking but didn't see anything on the Boots website, but that doesn't necessarily mean they don't offer an extended warranty.

    well why dont you phone them up. quite frankly all you see to do is the same questions not just in this thread but you have created another thread on the same subject which really is against board rules. From where i am sitting you seem to be asking the same questions again and again would you like me to phone up boots for you? or better yet would you like me to phone up http://www.domgen.com
    they do warranties. would you like a warranty on my reply i'm sure i could sell you on it wouldn't be hard. sometimes you need to see what other people are seeing! if i can find information after you have written a question like looking on a website because basically if information is not on a website it is not done 99.9% of the time as usually that becomes part of terms of sale, and terms of sale becomes a legal requirement when binding a contract. sorry if i seem to be going on here but your attitude and ignorance is very frustrating with the i don't care attitude but stuff the fact you might be helping here. Trying reading what you have written as if you where replying and think how you might feel if the boot was on the other foot.

    now in answer to all your orginal questions.
    argos dont price match
    argos or comet only do the warranty your intrested in.
    no else like boots does the warrantys so please stop asking
    i found this information in 1min so why cant you?

    merry christmas and a happy new year

    yes quite annoying, i can understand if the 2 threads were a minute apart but they're not, they're different sections of the board at different times, i mean why start 1 thread 2 days ago and the start a similar thread yesterday
