Why not? They are separate companies.

No you ordered a bed from Homebase (Home Retail Group) and it was delivered by an available Home Retail Group van which had the Argos livery on.

both these are separate companies that are run and managed by the Home Retail Group. the vehicles are owned by the Home Retail Group and not the individual companies.

Do Argos actually sell the same bed? If so then it's lack of research on your part that's to blame.

Even if they're the same company they can sell same product at different prices via different means, just so long as the price is not misleading.

Or even the same company selling the same product in different stores at different prices (think bottles of water in WHSmiths at stations/airports)
