I found a Samsung E250 blossom mobile phone listed @ £34.99 with store pick up option at Argos website. I successfully got its reservation (number 296804), also received an email confirmation from Argos that item is available in the store for collection against the above reservation price. After traveling about 15 miles I visited today Charlton Argos with confirmation print of my reservation but to my surprise when staff refused to sell the item @ £34.99 pretending that they are selling only to those customers who are able to spend a further £10. The staff also confirmed that the details of extra £10 are not shown on their website but it is imposed in the stores. I therefore decided not to purchase from such daylight robbers who are the demolishers of the distance selling rules as well as the UK's E-commerce Regulations.
