Hi all,

I've tried phoning and reserving the Fireman Sam Alphabet Rescue through mothercare (main phone number and local stores), but they won't allow you to reserve it if your local mothercare stores don't have any in stock. Has anyone else managed to get round this? All my local mothercare stores don't have any in the shops.

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks.

I have price matched a the rocket and fireman sam phonics with no mention of it having to be in stock in your local area, mine weren't in stock in any local branches of argos when I done this, all I can say is try again, as previous posts have mentioned it can depend who you get through to.

Good Luck

Thanks for the reply. Another question, do we have to pay in advance when reserving any item to a store? That's what CS told me.

Think you pay on ordering on the internet/phone and you just collect the item then.
Is there a reason you want it to the store reserved? They should let you order if your having for home delivery its free at the moment take advantage

Have you tried just ordering it from Mothercare for delivery to your home? I believe delivery is free on this item. It may be because you are trying to 'reserve' rather than 'buy' that you are having problems?

Not sure if you would qualify for the free £10 voucher as it is under £20

And yes, you have to pay in advance when ordering

Yes, I was going to collect from the store as collection is free. I didn't realise there's free home delivery at the moment.

Thank you so much both of you for your help and patiently replying to me.

Glad to be of help. It's good to see one 'newbie' helping another too.

Welcome to MSE to you both:)

I went to collect my swords today and there were loads of these cute bean bag toys in a basket in the queue section near the counter. Lots of different animals, dogs, bears, dolphins, frog, deer and others. I bought 6 different animals They actually are a lot nicer looking in real life than in this picture, and nice quality. I have bought a 'Ty' brand soft toy before as a gift from TK Maxx.

Also lots of these, also Ty brand, not to my taste, but someone else may like them...

With the variety available, the bears are all similar, the messages they are holding differ

Just picked up Fudge the pony, checked the box and the dress up set is in mine :T

Looks really cool but now gotta figure out how I keep it out of my granddaughter's way until Christmas time. Got this mostly thanks to lovesabargainido not picking up the one she had reserved so Thanks

I have a reservation number for the Strawberry stables & pony set for collection from Abingdon nr Oxford if anyone would like it.

I reserved one for a friend but she says she doesn't want it now.

I have bought one for my niece and she will love it, it looks fab for the money!
