Argos- if somethings gone on sale and I have receipt can I return it and rebuy

[AntlerFlames]

Bought a rug for £50 it's still in wrappings downstairs.

It's now £25.

Paid cash. Can I take it back. Get my 50 cash and then ask them to rescan it to buy it

Yes, we did that one Christmas.

Yep. As long as within the return times (is it 28 days?).

I'd click and collect a 25quid one and return then go get my click and collect.

Yes!

OK but what if its sold out. Everywhere.

So I can't reserve another. Would I have to wait until they returned it then try and reserve it quick or will they just let me have that one

Yes if it’s not available you might not be able to rebuy it.

I tried this as some trousers were 50% off two days after I brought them but sold out in my size. I asked the store if I could take them back and rebuy them but they said not right away, they would need to be checked and reput on the shop floor and that wouldn’t be immediately. I risked it and went in next day (I wasn’t worried if I didn’t get them) and managed to but you might risk someone else buying it or it not going into stock.

If there are none there is a big risk you won't get it again, shops don't generally let you return and rebuy in the same transaction, only return if you if you can reserve it beforehand. Of course now it is half price you may not think it is worth £50 and return it anyway.

You good always ask them? I've had this with Fat Face (bought a top full price as a treat and it then went into their 60% off sale the next day 🤦🏻‍♀️). They let me return and re-buy the same top in two separate transactions but on right after the other if that makes sense. Good luck!

*could

If you can afford it, maybe buy the £25 rug first, then return the £50 one?

If you buy them and they are reduced in price within 30 days you can go in with your receipt and ask for the difference to be refunded.

All retailers will do this. I only found out about it too late after I bought a coat in the Black Friday sales that went on winter sales at a deeper discount the following week..

Either reserve in advance or be totally honest with the cashier - they are usually emenable (I’ve had the different pace refunded before now as well to save returning and rebuying)

All retailers will do this.

No they won’t! White Stuff were really rude when I took something back within 2 days and asked as it was 50% off and refused. They were the store I mentioned - they had tons in other sizes. Or some in my size but a different colour. I returned them and brought them the next day as they refused to let me buy them back the same day as they needed to “process” them. I don’t shop there anymore as the staff were consistently rude though!
