Has anybody else had problems getting "free offers" from Argos?

I bought 2 I Pods from ARGOS for Christmas Presents and included within the catalogue was an offer of free shuffle packs which made it a good offer. I went to Argos in Blackburn to be told that the shuffle packs were not in stock but to take my receipt to any Argos store within 2 months and they would let me have them as some would be in stock after Christmas.

Despite visits to different Argos stores i have been unable to receive the free offer and they are no longer in their new catalogue.

I've e mailed Argos and received 2 responses the 2nd of which informs me that free offers have a start and end date and only limited stock is available and once that stock is sold thats it

My argument is that had I not been informed that stock would be available then I may have chosen not to purchase the Ipods from Argos. In simple terms Argos could buy 1 free offer per store and thats it!!

Sadly the same thing happened the previous year when we bought a camcorder with "free tapes" but once again they were always out of stock and we gave up

Have I just been unlucky or have other webbers had the same problem?
