Getting rather narked at Argos.
There is a pushchair on the argos website I want. It would be perfect for me to take on holiday and is currently half price at £49.99.
When I first saw it I tried to order it, not available for home delivery so tried my nearest store. Its not available there or the 10 nearest stores. So try a little further a field and again no luck.
So then it dawned on me as this has happened before. There will be no stock in any of my desired stores until the price shoots back up to full.
I tried other places over 200 miles away that relatives could pick up for me. Tried 3 different stores and the 10 nearest to them.
Even tried London, North Wales and Edinburgh and not available there.
In total I must have checked over 100 stores. Unless the pushchair is permanently out of stock I know it will be back on the shelf in all 100 of those stores once the price goes up.
As I've said this has happened to me before, and I made a complaint then as I have now, but I was mugged off the last time.

I had the exact problem before Xmas, with a kids sylvanian families hotel reduced from £119 to £55. Not one store in the country had it. So I went on John Lewis.com, they had it in stock so I used their price match0

Answered on your other thread - if it is the Koochi you are looking for, this is very old stock, hence the low numbers, plus the offer has been on for the best part of a month.
If it is the Mamas and Papas, there is stock available in other areas.0
