Was browsing Argos clearance and spotted this bargain...
9p - click and collect.
I paid online to collect in-store.
17.17 - Update. Some people are reporting that upon collection, the book is going through the till at 49p. Think these are people who haven't paid online? I paid online and had no issue when collecting. I would advise people to pay online for fast track collection?

Argos now operate a 'Hub and Spoke' distribution system. It's very clever. The bigger HUB stores that are usually located in industrial/retail parks, close to motorways etc, receive multiple big warehouse deliveries each day, and distribute it twice a day between the other, typically smaller, city centre type SPOKE shops via vans driven by employees of the HUB store. This is how they keep the smaller shops stocked with a less complicated warehouse to store distribution process, however, it also allows them the opportunity to show stock that is in store at a HUB as 'ready for collection after X o'clock' at a SPOKE store, because any such reservations that are made can be picked and transferred between the stores in either the morning or afternoon HUB-to-SPOKE van shuttle run :smiley:
It really is very clever!

Jeez, it must cost them the 9p to pay for the conveyor belt to bring each book down on, let alone the wages of the man/lady picking it up & putting it on the shelf (and keying code in so the voice says "number 176 to your collection point please") and the other man/lady picking it up from the shelf & stamping your receipt. They'd be better off fashioning a load bearing wall out of them.
Or in other words, that's a very hot deal you have there.

If you want one there are some left if you search, just noted Christchurch Bournemouth, and Blandford Forum (in Homebase store) store has stock. 9p for a stocking filler can't be argued at.

bought 10 in plymouth I reserved yesterday, no problems, they also knew about them and them being 9p, they said they were getting more coming in, I assume they mean other reservations (ones which stipulated collection in 3 days etc) as they admitted they were out of stock of that item.

If you're in or near Aberdeen then the Portlethen and Inverurie branches have stock. I've just had the last ones from the Trinity Centre branch which I'm giving to the charity shop my partner works in. They will probably sell them for £1 each so that's 91p profit for each book.
cazsilver
16 Nov 16#118
Checked earlier & there wasn`t any within 15 miles - Just had another look & found a few in stock, looks like people have reserved and not collected today?
Anyway the few I`v got are going to be donated to a charity that makes up childrens hampers for families that are struggling :smiley:
em4567
16 Nov 16#119
I'm able to reserve some in Northampton :smiley: Some of the other 9p stuff Argos had had recently I've put aside for charity shoeboxes going overseas for next year. I don't think these books would be suitable. Any suggestions on places to donate this? We have loads of charity shops in the town but they don't like taking book donations.

16 Nov 161#120
Here are some other 9p items to look out for whilst your in the shop. Stock will be low again as its clearance. There is stock though, I got all of the items below a few days ago and there was still stock left. You can't check online so will have to check on the machines/tills in store.
358/7991 3Aroma scented candle in glass . Various colours available
358/6583 8pack of pocket tissues
276/7468 10 retractable ball point pens
358/7982 pack of three gift bags. Blue silver and purple sparkly
358/7063 Pack of 5 lint rollers
358/7654 16pack tea light candles
358/7726 tin of Vaseline
287/2975 24 pencils
There's quite a bit of 9p stuff but I didn't take down all the numbers. There are also black bIn liners, bottle gift bags, hand sanitiser, cleaning wipes. It's worth asking in your local.

17 Nov 16#131
Yea a few near me aren't too keen on them, some don't refuse offers - but you never see them in their store, but others have just blank refused. Pity! We used to have some stores that offered free books, up to 3 per person I think, used to take books to them and occasionally picked one up. Unfortunately those things have gone now.

I just find that attitude of a charity shop appalling and I would seriously consider making my voice heard to their higher management. Books always sell - even if it's for just 50p each then it's still 50p they didn't have before.
