Shopping at Gatwick Airport before Arrival

Hi

So I've been told that I can purchase items from the duty free before I get to the airport then collect when I get there is this true?

Basically, I want a peice of tech for my holiday and it would be cheaper to get it duty free, my concern is I get there and they don't have it in stock and then I don't have it for the holiday.

    To complete your reservation, simply telephone the relevant store below to confirm price and product availability. Your goods will then be reserved for you to collect and buy prior to your flight.

    Nothing I've ever enquired about has been cheaper enough to bother :(
