Collected too late

[carl7105]

Hello. I ordered an item on 15 September which was to be collected by me at a local Argos, I was given a code starting FM for this. Due to illness I was unable to collect it immediately and when I visited the store they couldn't trace the FM code. Looking at the delivery instructions it seems I only had a limited time to collect it and was too late. I have no 6 digit backup code that I can see but would still like the item if possible, or would it be returned to the seller? This is the first time this has happened and I am concerned this might affect my buying feedback.

Firstly,  it will not affect your buyer feedback, worry not,  a seller cannot leave neutral / negative feedback for buyers if they do,  eBay can be asked to remove it,  but a seller would not leave bad feedback for this .

You have 7 days to pick up an item after being notified it was in store, after that the store can either send it back to the seller,  give it to charity or even destroy it.  In my humble opinion for a busy store such as Argos,  the easiest option would just be to bin it !

However,  drop the seller a message explain the circumstances ask if it has by chance been returned to them.  See what they say.
