i reserved 2 for £2.50 yesterday - should have been ready for collection on sunday. got text at 7.15pm tonight saying available to collect, so shot down the road to local argos before they closed. usual thing of coming up at £5 something, luckily took email confirmation showing £2.50, so after a fiddle on the till by two staff got them for £2.50 - neighbours boys will be happy at christmas.

I was a bit worried that as they werent due to be ready for collextion that the glitch might have been fixed and i would have to pay the £5 something. I emailed customer services this afternoon with a very very brief general query (not mentioning what it was i was actually reserving) asking if a reservation which isnt available to collect immediatly would i have to pay store price on the day. ie. the higher price. now got home and had the following reply
