Was in Stephens Green yesterday collecting a reserved black Friday deal that wasn’t in stock on the day. I had a printout of my reservation. Guy at counter kept saying it was showing up at a higher price. I wasn’t in the mood to call a manager so I said forget it.

Person on next till overheard and said to the guy that she would override the price. She told him herself or a manager could override the price if the customer had a printed copy of their reservation showing the price they reserved it at. She said she always tell customers to bring in printed copies of their reservations showing the reduced price.

Wow, opportunity for abuse there with a bit of tweaking in Photoshop!

I'm just back from the Dundalk store, where I had reserved both the Lenovo Yoga and the Asus Memopad. I put the Memopad in the pay machine and it came up at €99.99, so I cancelled the transaction, the Yoga was €139.99, so I paid for that and got €20 vouchers, I called the manager over and showed her the reservation text ( no email, as I'd reserved instore as the site was close to crashing), a phone call to upstairs, got the Memopad for €39 with the vouchers, paid and got another voucher!

I managed to reserve a Phillips Bluetooth Speaker for €22.79 on Saturday morning. It's current price is €106.94.

Have to collect from wednesday. What's the odds that they will honour this price?

It's the Philips Bluetooth Portable NFC 10W Speaker BT3500B. Can't post links....

Got my Asus tab in Argos this afternoon, had to be fairly definite that I wasn't moving before they agreed. Manager went off to ring somebody and eventually came back with a YES.

Thanks so much to Siobh73 for the code. Really appreciate it


... and thanks to OP for tipping us all off. Gotta love BA thread.

Picked up an Asus tab this afternoon, (reserved at the reduced price but had to be ordered) it was available for collection from today.

No hesitation from staff about giving it at the reduced price.

Siobh73

Delighted you got it deiseindublin! One more thing off the list.... Strange how different stores have such different approaches. I had no difficulty at all in Drogheda Store on Sunday.

Thewife

Picked up Asus tab in Waterford today no problem whatsoever in giving it for the 59.99
