Text from Argos telling me that due to "software issues" MS has "delayed the 950XL". It will be with me by the 06/12 and they apologise for the inconvenience!
What's the legal position behind advertising, and in some cases, taking money for something you know you can't supply?
I notice they've changed their site to say delivery within 5 days.

Just got a text from argos saying its been delayed due to software issues but will be released by 6 December.
On a different note I notice the price for the black 950XL has gone back up to ?474.99 on amazon uk

Snap also had a text from Argos announcing a slight delay due to software issues... Phone to arrive no later than 06/12 which is Sunday... I don't think I am going to hold my breath, but at least they have contacted me and do say they will contact me when it has been dispatched.
Legally I am no expert but I wouldn't expect you to get anything, you could ring customer services and they may make a good will gesture, or you could cancel and get a refund.

I got the same message. They lied considering the website stated "1 day delivery"
Dissapointed!

It might be worth noting that a number of retailers have had their stocks delayed so this isn't just Argos.
Amazon went from the 3rd to 12th December a number of weeks back
Clove went from first stocks expected to ship on 2nd December to now first stocks expected 7th December
Mobile Fun went from stock due 2nd Dec to stock due 3rd Dec to stock now due in 1 week.
CPW went from 3rd Dec to 8th Dec
MobilePhoneDirect went from 3rd Dec to in stock in 5 working days
So I think there is a supply issue from MS here.

I am sure it is a supply issue, but the fault Argos made was to show next day delivery when they didn't have the stock available to send out at their suppliers. They have now removed the available 'next day' from the website but it shouldn't of been there is the first place. Argos are not the only company to do this but their systems haven't handled this problem well.
No it never came, I got this text from them this morning

MS Store in the UK is still listing "ship by 3rd", I was told yesterday that items would ship today. I (or someone else) will post when I get a shipment notification. It's entirely possible that Argos knows something that the MS Store doesn't, however.
