    Looks a bit like this, I keep screen shots of the whole page when I do an order.

    I printed my page from Homebase,similar to the Argos page,except mine says confirmation after the word payment in the arrowed line.
  • Don't know about anyone else but I have "legal protection" cover on my house contents insurance and will be consulting them on this if anyone else has the same I would check with them,If you have a claim they will fight it, mine is for up to £500,000 of cover, have used it in the past and won against estate agent and wife's company for constructive dismissal,both times they appointed highly paid solicitors and both settled out of court,I think knowing that it's not costing you frightens the other side a bit.

    Ok they have taken the money from my credit card.all processed through, so huh ! only have the email reciept but as I had ran out of printer ink. I have morzilla anyway to go back through the history and print it ? I have heard that the credit card gives me cover but I seriously doubt that anyone will get anything.They will just say out off stock and refund the money. Virgin did it to me at xmas with a mistake they made. I never challanged it as i changed my mind anyway.
    BUT i m prepared to pickett this time !!

    i have just spoken to my credit card people and the money has been taken
    i asked her to confirm if argos physically had my money and she said yes.

    but the strange thing is they have took 2 payments
    the first for £5.44 and the second for 49p???
    also did a homebase one and still havent had any form of confirmation email but again money taken from my debit card.

    also havent had any cancellation emails

    I think anyone of us who has anything with order confirmation, should challenge this!! Why should they not have to stand by this... Im in business and if I make a pricing mistake, I have to stand by it! So why shouldnt they!!
    In this trusted place U can erase
    Every tear that ever rolled down your weary face
    All the time U waste in that paper chase
    Is time better spent in these arms of mine
