Argos Smartphone Deal - Too Good to be True?

doberryfirkin

Like many I am looking to buy a new smartphone this coming black Friday and so have been doing some research. The Sony Experia Z5 is one I am keen on and the offer at Argos .... here ...

seems a good deal. But here's the thing. This has been on their website for nearly two months and every time I look to buy it's always out of stock.. everywhere.

It's clear that Argos neither have any nor know when any will arrive. Is this legal? I am tempted to contact trading standards.

Hmmm.

I have just checked under my local and regional post code and sure enough it is out of stock in over 20 stores. I think you might be on to something, especially if you have been checking for sometime and it is not available in store or online.

I guess there is a chance that they might have arrangements to get special stock in for the Black Monday/Cyber Monday sale. Given the stock situation you have found, perhaps however unlikely.

Let us know how you get on and if you contact TS what they say.

Good spot!
