Default Buying from Dixons Duty free at the airport??

If I go on holiday (well actually I am but thats besides the point )

and go to Dixons duty free and spend some cash, are they able to hold the stuff for me so I can collect it on way back into UK (still Duty free)??

Obviously if it was something as simple as an ipod i could sling it in the bag and take it on hol with me, but it isnt ROFL...

Whats the crack? will they mail it while I'm away?

You dont have access to that part of the airport on return, so i'd say a big fat No!

Jewboy!

I seem to remember a holding service, when I went through Gatwick. I think most do it for duty free. Look on the airport website. baa.co.uk
