    Hello I have a reserved item.
    Ok whats th enumber?
    Its xxxxxxxxx.
    That will be £17.99 please.
    Oh i have a voucher from the paper. I saw it in the paper this morning and knew it would be popular, so i reserved one so I didnt have a wasted journey.
    Thats fine, collection point B.


    Thats is how my conversation will go tommorrow.

  • Do I feel guilty reserving one ? Well given the amount of offers I have missed out on because the stocks have run out 1 minute after opening....

    However it might all be to no avail if the condition is "Free when you spend £20 on toys at Argos"

    A lot of reserved orders not being picked up if that is the case :)

    well if there is a clause that says not available on reserved items then no-one will get one in the stores that have them all reserved. We will find out tommorrow.

    Could you not got to the desk and ''view'' your reserved item before purchase. Then say you dont want it, which will put in back into stock, then get it with your voucher.

    I think I can say there will be NO general stock available in any store once this hits the stands. They will all be reserved before the Argos stores even open.

    These paper deals are great if you get them but I remember talking to the sales staff at Superdrug who said the Express offers caused them no end of bother as the demand always exceeded supply. For example 6 bottles of vitamins for an entire Saturday's shoppers.

    And Whittards only ever had one or two of the item they were giving away "free".

    A lot of the "good" Express offers (Free plants from Focus) are conditional on buying another item to get the free one. That MIGHT be the case with this board game but then again it might not.
  • thankyou that guy reserved mine.
  • Reserved one thanks

    will someone be up bright and early tomorrow to go get the paper and update us all on the exact wording of this offer?
