Don't know why you waited in? At 4pm on December 30th you posted you would let us know IF it arrived so realistically you had some doubt.

I expected either to receive a dsi or a phonecall early on to let me know if they'd cancelled the order,there was no consistancy in what Argos were doing with these orders.I received neither but didn't know that until 6pm yesterday when it didn't arrive.
Your name suits you btw;)

Fabulous! You've said something sensible I can agree with! Utterly true! The Doctor's just about to die and I'm wasting time here with people spouting about "rights" and "principles". Time for me to go.

I wish you all well :beer::beer::beer:

yeah it'll be a ds lite for that price blue monkey

Yes, I said it is a DS for £99 - less the cashback and £30 off it'll be £62 (think I said £52, I was wrong there). Or you can get a DS for £119 and £12 cashback. Over £40 saving. Whats the difference apart from the camera and a bigger screen. The 'gotta haves' have gotta have I suppose. Get them a cheaper one and let them learn that sometimes they cannot have everything they want in life as it costs too much!!

Cheshire_Carper, you sound like you know what you are doing, any help would be much appreciated!

As I pointed out a number of pages ago, those that have ordered over the phone and the order has been accepted have a winnable case. If I get time to assist further, I will pursue it.

I was only clarifying it for people who might have thought you meant a DSi. I completely agree with you.

No, because they don't contribute anything more than opinion, rather than fact, help or knowledge.

Wrong. I gave you all you needed to know to get your DSi but you clearly did not read it through your haze of rage at not getting your DSi....

You can make your claim for 'loss of bargain' here:

https://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk/csmco2/index.jsp

It will cost you £30, click 'I am a claimant' and fill the form in. When Argos defend their claim, as they will, you you have to pay another £100 to get the case heard. Of course you will get that back if you win. Which you think you will so you have nothing to lose, have you?

So, those shouting about their loss and upset, get your claims in now. Or are you just happier screaming about how unfair it is on here?? Go on, show us what you are made of......

With all due respect, the theory one can read in Law text books and what happens in the real World can be different.

For example, (as far as I am aware) any English legal authority enabling recall of acceptance is a grey area. eg Argos advising the customer that the offer has not been accepted before the customer was aware of the despatch.

Just playing Devil's advocate here.

Hey, perhaps it's time for a brave MSEr to go for a test case and clarify the legal position.

The legal position is very established. To be honest, this situation is completely cut and dry. It is yr1 LL.B territory. Formation and enforceability of contract. Whilst I agree that the real world position can be different (we term that 'law in books' vs 'law in action'), a contract is a contract is a contract. It is enforceable.

It is very hard trying to explain it to someone that has not studied the law. You see things in a different way. If there is someone else on here that has read law, they will understand exactly the position. I suppose that is why the profession is viewed as it is.

Not on this one I couldn't.

Doctor had my full attention - poor lad. Nearly had both me and OH in tears when he told Wilf it was his honour...they dragged out the re-gen a bit though...

Enjoying Confidential now - happy to multi task to that!:D

I suppose if you don't understand the law, then that is something for you to do (you would not have that legal argument btw, no one owes money here, this is a dispute over contract enforceability). But if you do understand the law, that, at this stage is completely unnecessary.

A letter to the vendor, explaining your position is the first stage. That will cost the effort and the postage. I would advise all that are disgruntled to write in explaining your position.....

The problem is that the approach the average lay person will adopt may be easily dismissed by the vendor. But for someone that understands the contractual position, then a different problem faces the vendor

I would advise at first instance writing in, in the best way you can.

Any contractual legal advice would cost you a little more than a DS at full price (and long may it stay that way ).
