I reserved mine 21st at 6.05pm. Was told to go back in on Friday to see if delivery has been made. My reservation is to start from Friday. Fingers crossed I get one.

They changed it on the website with the reservation thingy.

And it didn't matter if there was any left they could have said: "We have some left but they are reservation only"

They didnt cancel existing reservations though (didnt matter anyway since all were reserved anyhow)

I thought the Argos system was changed to first come first served a dozen pages back.

However they were useless. If you have probs get the store to ring their own support team.

Dont think it will be of any use. She said they just got conformation from head office to cancel all the orders in sligo.

The initial person I spoke to in-store told me it was a 'warehouse cancellation'. The manager was a *star* and investigated it and found the issue. Fingers crossed for me tomorrow or I will be hollering like mad about their 'reliable reservation system'.

Did you get one in Arklow PF?

No, all that was left had been reserved, apparently.

I have a reservation with the same dates as yourself for Argos Galway - will be interesting to see whether they'll be honoured or not on Tuesday.

We'll have to keep an eye on the Arklow buy and sell page on FB so!

Have you gone into the store? It may be there already.

I didn't because it is 1 hour up & another back plus I'm working all week. Also I got no text from Argos confirming TouchPad is in stock & ready for collection.

However I will be able to call up on Friday - may be a worthwhile trip do you think?

Schorpio · 24-08-2011 06:14PM

Reserved one on Sunday for Dundrum. I gave up constantly checking this thread because I figured I had an Argos unit with my name on it. Now reading this, seems like Argos either threw their reservation system out the window or had far too few touchpads. Either way I got no text or email from Argos to say that there were any touchpads in stock. Annoyed ain't the word. :mad:

Mine also cancelled according to someone in Argos Sligo. Thought I was fine after I was told by their twitter service that my reservation will be honoured, but when I read coach had his Sligo reservation cancelled I decided to call the shop and check. The woman on the phone consulted a list of cancelled reservations and mine was on there. She told me to ring back Friday morning because there was nothing in their system about the reservation being cancelled yet, just on the list she had.

I might give HQ a call and see what they tell me.

TheZohanS · 24-08-2011 06:21PM

argoshelpers:

Correct, I can confirm that we'll be receiving no further supplies of the HP Touchpad.

When they're gone they're gone folks!

neonitrix · 24-08-2011 06:23PM

my reservation cancelled in portlaoise argos was due for collection this sat, told that the item never existed in the warehouse and should not have been able to be reserved in the first place. not happy to say the least

Just went back into dundrum. They sold the last "32gb" apparently! I was in there earlier and they said they sent them back! I mean WTF! And they had no 15gb! Is there any other places in dundrum

Going by this, I dunno if there's much point going up tbh!

Xzen · 24-08-2011 06:25PM

Was just speaking so somone in the know at Argos. There IS a delivery on Friday in Dublin. All Argos shops in Dublin will be getting 1 unit . So anyone in Dublin whos got a reservation hold on to them don't cancel.

I was told this morning at 9.30am when I rang that they had none in stock, and none in the warehouse..

.. but thought they'd still honour reservations.

That's lousy tbh..!

Babyblessed · 24-08-2011 06:31PM

Argos trade on their name so this isnt going to do them any good publicity wise at all although people do need to complain.

wingnut · 24-08-2011 06:32PM

Any word on Limerick stores, have a res there tomorrow?

Yep, from what i've seen in this thread it's not just Argos but FNAC, Amazon and its marketplace sellers who've been having "inventory issues" too. Perhaps they need to get some better inventory/database managment or maybe they were overwhelmed by the demand. Either way a lot of disapointed people here...Think perhaps with all this demand HP may ressurect the touchpad? (even a cheaper hardware one? ) I really liked WebOs.

Just got this

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your pre-order for the HP TouchPad. Unfortunately, due
to the unprecedented demand for this gadget, stock levels across the
UK and Europe are incredibly low.

We wanted to let you know that we are working extremely hard to get
our hands on more stock as we know how popular the TouchPad has
become. Please bear with us while we try and secure more TouchPads,
and we promise to keep you up to date if and when stock arrives.

If we are unable to complete your order please rest assured that you
will receive a full and complete refund.

We sincerely apologise for the delay, but hope to be able to let you
know for certain the situation in regards to your order very soon.

Kind regards,

Zoe

Head of Customer Services, EXPANSYS

Thats me out of the race now I guess

Same here. Only an argos reservation left...

superflyninja · 24-08-2011 06:34PM

did argos drop the price?
moot point.. i gt given a reservation code by another boardsie but the reservation expired yesterday and the touchpad was given away.

missingtime · 24-08-2011 06:35PM

Got my mother to check a reservation i made in the killarney store, was told that none had come in but they were expecting a delivery to the warehouse on the 11th of september.

**shrugs shoulders**

Ghost Train · 24-08-2011 06:36PM

Good to hear argos reservations working for some people
