I have seen this for sale on the Argos website, but of course I can't find it in stock in any of the stores. I would love to get it for DS for Christmas. Can you check if its in stock at your local store please?

It's out of stock in all the Birmingham/Sutton Coldfield stores ... sorry.

Sparkler1 · 28/09/2006 23:04

I'm in Poole, Dorset Kid and there's nothing around my postcode area. Sorry.

MamaGlamourPuss · 28/09/2006 23:06

sorry out of stock in Kendal too

I have just looked. They have it for pick up only at Aldershot. I cannot do that for you sadly as I am working tomorrow and then in London all weekend. But maybe there is someone else who is going to Aldershot tomorrow?????

80sMum · 28/09/2006 23:10

They've got one in Aldershot.

Is anyone near Aldershot that can collect it and post it to me?

Could your local Argos store request it from the Aldershot store?

Kid, did you notice that you can text Argos and they will text you when the item you want is back in stock.

fattiemumma · 28/09/2006 23:17

not got any in any of the stores within the 15 mile radius of here either...shame as my own little boy would have loved that too

Would they do that for a sale item?
Never asked them to do that before, but no harm in asking I guess.

I am sure that there is a facility that you can request it!! If you go into your local Argos and tell them just which store, they can do it!!! I had this once and even though it arrived a day late for my ds's birthday, we did eventually get his present.

I left it a bit late btw, and Argos did their best regarding delivery, so if you go now, no worries!

I'll do that text service now, it might come back in stock. Not sure if its a clearance line.

They should help to request it surely - they are all one company and should have ways and means of getting things from each other?

Well I have reserved it at Aldershot and will phone or visit the local store tomorrow and ask about having it transfered.

OP posts:

The other thing is, someone might log on tomorrow morning who is going to Aldershot and could collect it for you.

Well it is reserved until end of tomorrow. I will try and check here tomorrow from work before I go to local Argos just incase.

Have tried all the stores in Bucks and Berks.

Sorry none available.

Looks like it's a clearance line, so doubt if they'll get it back in stock.

Could you phone the Aldershot branch and ask them to post it to you???

Worth a try.

Stores near us won't do any branch transfers,
have asked before.
