Help - please from anyone willing to post item for me!

I have found a fab item in the Argos sale which ends on Friday and it is out of stock for home delivery and out of stock in all the Argos stores in Northern Ireland so was wondering whether if I checked it was in stock in a store in England would someone be willing to collect it for me and post it to me- of course I would reimburse! If you could let me know where you are I can do a quick check in the nearest store to you and see if its in stock and reserve it. Hope that makes sense! And thanks if you can!

Spotted the one. I'm afraid I've tried Croydon, Redhill, Streatham, Wimbledon, Epsom and Bromley to no avail.
