A warning about Argos click and collect

I went to order a lawn mower online. The product wasn't available for home delivery only click and collect.

So I did the click and collect and went to the store.

The store then wanted to charge me a much higher price. The small print on the website says they can do that.

I spoke to the manager and i said that the product couldn't be purchased either on-line or at a store for the advertised price.

She admitted to me that it was a con to get people to visit the store and they were likely to pay a higher price and might buy some more things because they had made an effort to go to collect it.

I told them to shove it and I found the same product elesewhere for less.
