If you are thinking of buying an iPad or even an iPad 2 at an Argos store, please heed my advice.
They may have a brilliant pricing structure and offer bargains on their web pages. You may even check stock on-line and reserve one for pick-up at your local store.
But, before you set off on the 60 minute drive, (as we almost did on Saturday) telephone the actual store that you have reserved it at. When you get to speak to a person, get their name (you MUST do this) and try to get to speak to a manager or supervisor. Get their name as well. Ask them to confirm that the specific iPad that you have reserved is in stock and ready to be collected from their store within 2 hours. Give them the Reservation number to check.
We did that, having used the web to reserve a white, 32gb iPad 2 only to find that, in reality, there were no iPads of any kind in the shop at all.
Take care and don't waste petrol.
