Also if the buyer is abroad when the payment goes through there is an option to print out a customs declaration. It's just a small thing to put on the package that says the description of the item.
My airsure came to £22.18 but it was in another cardboard box with bubble protection0 -
This is my first post so be easy on me!
Has anyone received an Elmo from Argos that doen't speak English, I have bought one in store and 3 online and they have all spoken a different language?


Thanks in advance!!0 -
How can you tell what language they speak without opening them up. You have worried me as I got quite a few from argos and some more from wollies and would rather not send out foreign speaking elmos :-(0

When you lift the flap on the box, it does a demo and it is another language.
The box looks the same as all the other ones on Ebay not like the one listed above.0 -
Some boxes say 'Uh uh no peeking' others say 'Elmo tiklish' - could be that is saying one of these unclearly rather than foreign.0
