To try and separate discussions about the (possible) super bargain keyboards from Argos and the rest of the Hardware Bargains thread I've created this thread for further discussions and also for people wanting to swap whatever it is they receive. Cheers GK Edit: Rep to meandmymouth and madginga for giving me the inspiration for the name of the thread
The Great Argos Keyboard Kerfuffle Swapshop - GAKKS Goatee - Wants Brown - Received Red Big Elf - Wants Brown - Received Red MadGinga - Wants Blue - Received ...........
Unsurprisingly, Argos say they are dealing with a massive backlog of orders and don't have enough stock in the country, so deliveries are delayed. Apparently, they had a lot of people ordering 10 to 20 of them and have imposed a "strict one per customer" rule.
Yes meandmymouth used the term kerfuffle first, but I coined phrase "The Great Keyboard Kerfuffle" Good idea! MadGinga - Wants Blue - Received ...........
Spoke to CM via their online chat and basically they are willing to help people out who paid less money but the people who paid me, ie me for an XTI can get knotted, ah well as I posted before a collection is being arranged and I'll be glad it's over and done with.
So I just received an email from Argos customer service (5 days after contacting them) saying that they have received my request for the cancellation of my order and have forwarded it to the supplier. Um... cancel that cancellation plz? LOL
Yes this is true, I ordered two, one for me and one for a friend of mine but my order has since been amended to just one. I'm expecting a fairly significant delay but I'll update once I know what I've got. I'm hoping for blue but brown would do.
A couple of days back Argos were doing a sale on a CM keyboard which was priced lower than it should have been at about £32 (CM have stated they're going to be working with Argos to honour the orders), along with that the images and descriptions on their pages were all wrong so anyone who's purchased one can't be sure what their getting. So this thread has spawned to create a potential keyboard trade.
