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!

I tried Nottingham, Newark and Grantham, no luck I'm afraid

Worcester ? I have to go into the city centre tomorrow anyway, in fact I have to be in Argos to get some vouchers for a friend's wedding.

taramac, I could get to Reading, but not until Thursday afternoon - I'm sure they'll hold on to it another half day.

bump Thank 2gb will let you know if CP3 doesnt get hold of me. Think I could hopefully reserve it again tonight if its not collected - it was the last 1 there tho so hopefully it would go back into the system if its not collected.
