I got it delivered. Contacted CS and they wouldn't collect it, said I had to go in store. Didn't want to take the hit myself so thought fuck it, what do I have to lose... Was standing around a bit before anyone asked me if I needed help. My countenance was somewhat stern and mildly annoyed, as if I had been wronged and intended to make it right (if that makes sense). I am well-spoken and was was well-dressed at the time. I was polite, laid out my story, was asked for proof, and provided the order info and showed the proof of contacting CS. The woman seemed kind of embarrassed about the situation. I had a replacement within 5 minutes. I brought that back to another store a few days later. Refund successful. 

Sorry I'm a little confused.

When you originally contacted CS did you say it was EB or just ask for a regular pickup return?

And when refunded you received money back on your card cash or instore credit?

Congratulations here though.  Very very smooth.

Said it was an EB. They don't refund cash if you bought it online, only if you pay cash in store to make the purchase. Refund to original payment method (CC).

Thanks. This was my best SE so far. Maximum gains, minimal time.

I am sorry to ask again but need to confirm you claimed EB online first!? Thank you for all of this information. I have a very nice fall back here thanks to you

Argos seems very laxed
