    My nearest store is open. I am self-isolating. They will not collect the item as they are not doing that at present. My car driving friends are like me, self-isolating for one reason or another so would not be able to help.

    None of them would have opened more than 30 days ago anyway so I'm not sure what the problem is.
    Have you got the date when these type of stores were allowed to open?


    So. To be clear.
    You are self isolating but feel its essential someone travels to you to collect a faulty ipad case?
    The item was delivered to my home. And Argos usually does pick up such items. However, they are not doing it at present. See the following page.
    Shesh custardy, I guess if I went out and caught the virus and ended up in ICU you'd have something to say about that as well.
    I trust you wear your mask with pride. :)

    You can trust I'm at work so folks like you can whine about not getting an ipad case collected.
    I'm pretty confident most retailers wont be collecting small items from a customers door regardless of it being ordered online.
    From your link. Was your ipad case a 2 man lift delivery?
    "Please note, for the safety of our customers and colleagues, we’re currently unable to accept larger 2-man items in store. You can arrange for collections of large items, however these are subject to delays. Speak to our team via Live Chat to find out how to book your collection."

    In my experience, with Argos online returns were dropped off at a Post Office. 
    It's worthy of note that my local taxi company has been offering to do this for customers for the usual fare - might be worth seeing if yours will. :)
