Hello people :) My daughter has asked her nan for this Lucy dog for Christmas out of stock everywhere apart from ridiculously priced amazon and eBay! Gets me so mad when kids are after toys like this parents/grandparents desperate for stock to become available somewhere but doesn't because greedy people purchase loads to make money on them! HELP please people :(

huggy25 · 23/11/2013 21:03

Even though I have got one now, I am still checking stock locally- if I manage to locate one, I'll post here at cost price + postage... I know how frustrating it is xxx

LaurenP1988 · 23/11/2013 21:05

Hello buzzardbird :) I wouldn't normally be so cheeky but I've seen that your saying your local Argos has stock of the Lucy dog and you don't mind posting. I would be more than happy to pay the postage if you could get hold of one for me please please please?

LaurenP1988 · 23/11/2013 21:11

I would really appreciate if you could ship one to me if you could manage to get hold of more stock please? In desperate need for one so I don't have a disappointed daughter Christmas Day xx

HaveToWearHeels · 23/11/2013 22:21

Think they are still available on Very. I have just managed to add three to my basket on the 3 for 2 offer. If I buy three I could split the cost with 2 others, so £70 for the three (incl postage) £23.50 each plus postage. Anyone interested ?

HaveToWearHeels · 23/11/2013 22:22

PLEASE NOTE I would not be making a profit and have no interest in doing so. Happy little girls at Christmas is so much more rewarding !

HaveToWearHeels · 23/11/2013 22:37

Little shits, I just ordered three, put it through on my credit card, website confirmed they would be delivered on 26th then got an email to say out of stock, grrrrrrrrrr, so ignore my above post. Hopefully others that were being greedy won't be getting theirs either.

Guzzy1 · 23/11/2013 22:37

Yes please I would be very interested my 5 year old is desperate for this! [email protected] please email me if you get them thanks

HaveToWearHeels · 23/11/2013 22:40

Sorry Guzzy no luck :( Let me go through the whole process then emailed to say out of stock.

I too am desperately looking for Lucy the Dog. I live in Borehamwood in Hertfordshire. Don't bother ordering from Very as their website says they are in stock and they let you place the order and pay for it and then when it doesn't get delivered on the day you ring them and they say 'our website is incorrect, we don't have any'. They issued me with a full refund. I have emailed a complaint to customer services asking why I am still able to order and pay for one online when they don't have any. The prices on Ebay are ridiculous. Would be grateful if anyone could help.

boptanana · 23/11/2013 23:04

I have one reserved in Portsmouth Argos that I no longer want. Available until tomorrow. If it is useful to anybody please pm me and I will send the reservation number.

Littlemousewithcloggson · 24/11/2013 00:02

Would anyone like a reservation code for one in Argos Yeovil reserved until 25th? I was going to get it for dd but she hasnt asked for it and has enough already. At least someone who really wants it could have it then

Kutiez2005 · 24/11/2013 12:05

Anyone wanting one in or near to Bristol, I should be receiving some from Very on Tuesday (providing it doesn't get cancelled as others seem to have :/ ) you can have it for the Very price £33

I hope it comes because I originally ordered through Littlewoods at £41 & then cancelled in favour of Very, same company but £8 cheaper!!

LaurenP1988 · 24/11/2013 18:49

kutiez can you post it out please?

Kutiez2005 · 25/11/2013 08:23

I could get a quote for the postage but how would I receive payment?

Don't rest all your hopes with me yet though, I have heard a few people saying that Very have let them place orders but then cancelled it on delivery day. I phoned them yesterday and they said they were expecting shipment in to them today so fingers crossed. I will keep you updated.

Kutiez2005 · 25/11/2013 08:43

Sorry, looks like my Very order has been cancelled too, the order status now says "no longer available".

LaurenP1988 · 25/11/2013 08:50

Aww ok no worries thank you for trying anyway x

Kutiez2005 · 25/11/2013 09:11

I have a reservation code for argos chippenham and argos portsmouth if anyone needs one, I just managed to get the last one available for delivery from Toys r Us so I don't need these codes anymore.

Kutiez2005 · 25/11/2013 09:12

They are only valid until the end of today though

chrissypotter72 · 25/11/2013 09:29

Well, as no one replied to my first post with any help I thought I would help myself (which I did)
Got an email from very today confirming my order as I ordered them when they first came into stock.

chrissypotter72 · 25/11/2013 09:32

Maybe if someone replied to my first post with any kind of help I would have probably helped them out with a Lucy Dog, but they didn't. So...

HaveToWearHeels · 25/11/2013 09:51

chrissypotter72

Obviously no one could help you hence no reply !
but after your post below why would anyone contact you, you obviously want to make money !

*Just ordered 12 from 'very'.

3 for 2 offer on too.

Dizzy22 · 25/11/2013 10:15

Girls, it looks like Argos have them coming in over the next few days. Will keep a keen eye on it if i were you. Fingers crossed we all get one xx :O)

TheXmasLogIn · 25/11/2013 12:02

They appear to be available in 7 out ot the 8 closest Argos stores near me (Sussex) right now. Not looking for one myself, but if anyone wants one reserving, I'm happy to help :)
