A relative is in a bit of a pinch, I could do with purchasing an el-cheapo mobile phone for him, thinking I can probably buy one from argos website, and pay for it ... does anyone know how the collection works?
Hopefully it will just email me a code that I can pass to him to allow him to collect it?
I think it's texted actually, maybe both.
They email and text a code...
I wasn't sure if you had to pop the same debit card into one of their machines in store?
I've only ever had to show the code.
Be wary if the stock at the remote store shows one off. In my experience the computer system that Argos use isn't too good at keeping track of what is actually available in the store.
He may be asked for your address unless he has a printout of the email.
I have never been asked for a printout. I have always shown the text. You can't print a text anyway as far as I know, so why would they send the code as a text if this was not acceptable at the shop?
You can take of photo of the screen, though, and then print that photo.
Actually he collected it based purely on the order number and collection PIN which I passed to him (which as John said are both emailed and texted)
