Anyone ever used the Currys price promise to price match?

I want to buy a TV, and found that it is cheaper at Argos than Currys as it is on sale.
Currys claim to price match, then add an extra 10% of the difference as a discount.

However, Currys has free delivery, whereas Argos doesn't.
Will they get arsey on the phone and claim that the price includes the delivery price? It doesn't state this on the website.

Thanks guys x :beer:

  • Is the Argos one home delivery only or would you be able to go to the store and pick it up? If this is the case you should be able to argue that you would not have to pay the delivery charge if you were not having it delivered.

    My husband has; Curry's price was £69.99 and he found it online for £39.99. Curry's price matched it + gave him 10% off as well. He did it over the phone but picked up in store.

    Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately it's only available for delivery rather than in-store pick-up, (maybe because it's a 40" tv - not sure if that changes things) therefore I'd have to pay the delivery costs in theory.

    Tajna - do you remember if the item was available for in-store pick-up or not?
