It's not even worth 1 star. My sofa was meant to be delivered 2 weeks ago and today we get a call saying it's not going to be delivered until Thursday bearing in mind today is Monday I have a one-year-old son who needs somewhere to sit especially in the evenings but now he has to put up with sitting either on our laps or on the floor it is not good enough I am outraged at their customer service!

Ordered a ps4 game for fast track collection, week later refunded money without even an email explanation, rang customer services to be told sales exceeded stock levels and I could just go online and order it again, to experience the same again? No thankyou. Not a new game either so how stock levels can't be maintained is a joke. Terrible service, girl wasn't interested, won't be using them again. Fast track? What a let down!

Very poor customer service. An error on their part left my fast track order on their 3 for 2 toy offer was delivered to store in 3 orders After the second visit, my husband assumed i ahd completed the order and mistakenly deleted the email with the pin. This meant that i couldn't collect my remaining toy and had no other option (as a new pin could not be generated) but to cancel the remaining item which voided one of my offers. An error on their part that they failed to rectify and caused me to miss out on their flagship offer. Very unhelpful assistant with a bad attitude added to my extreme dissatisfaction.

bought an ipad on 11/08/2017, returned 27/09/2017 because it developed a fault, they sent it away to get fixed, got it back, still the same problem, went back to the shop (argos Whitehaven) was told there looks nothing wrong with it, explained to him that when we have it on charge it is draining charge out of it instead of putting charge into it, told him that you need to look in side for the fault, was told to buy a different wire to charge, why should we pay £10 to £12 for a cable, he then tried 4 different chargers, on one of them the red light on the ipad came on, explained to him that the red light comes on but it does not charge, it discharges, he still kept saying buy a cable, so said to him if we buy the cable and it dosent work are you going to refund me, the answer was no, told him we were not prepared to waste money on a cable, he was not prepared to do anything, basically saying there looks nothing wrong with it so go away. phoned customer services, they said to phone acer (the make of the ipad) and they would give me a reference number to give to argos and then argos would phone acer to confirm the reference number and then argos would exchange it for a new one, what a load of bull, so now it has been sent away again to be fixed, but they don't send it back to acer, no they send it to Coventry where the have a contract firm look at it, well they did not do a very good job last time. will not buy from argos again, the staff are hopeless, the person we dealt with he was tapping his pen on the counter and playing with his phone, he was not interested at all, he said he was not prepared to give out £150 IPAD WILLY NILLY. but its ok for them to take a £150 off customers for faulty goods and laugh at you when you take a 2 month old ipad back twice to be fixed, its not on, what a arrogant jerk this person was at the argos store in whitehave

My delivery was delayed by 2 hours. The initial delivery had a 4 hour window which meant I had to wait at home 6 hours for my delivery! Just what I wanted to do on a Sunday! When the delivery finally arrived it contained the wrong parts. I now have to wait another 3 days for the correct parts, which Argos are kindly sending by Royal Mail. Considering it was their error the very least I would have expected was for the parts to be sent by courier next day delivery. The customer service team I spoke to did not care and simply repeated the same thing over and over. It seems to me that this is a regular occurance and by now staff have just become numb and therefore are no help whatsoever. Argos might as well just have a recorded message at the other end of the phone. The only saving grace for Argos is the lack of competition. Their delivery slots are hopeless and expensive and the whole process is exasperated by the lack of aftercare. If Argos have given up then do us all’s further and shut up shop...you won’t be missed!

Looking for a new power washer great deals in Argos but guess what no stock of the first 4 power washer I checked it's very easy to sell items at half price when there's no stock. SCAM

Current argos 3 for 2 sale seems to cost more than b4 the sale , the day b 4 prices were up to 60% cheaper on many items, for instance a 14.99 item i was looking at & screen shot b4 the sale is now 34.99 in there 3 for 2 sale. Very disappointed for a trusted brand

Useless. Next day delivery never happens. Vouchers when you spend certain amounts never happens. Items in the online store are rarely available for pick up or delivery but are in other stores??? Ever heard of warehouses? Waiting for more than 30 minutes in the click and collect queue on more than one occasion . Useless staff. I hate Argos, I will never use them again.

my parents bought the hauck travel system for me as a gift I started using 7 weeks ago but the wheels started falling off,my problem was my baby has down syndrome and wholes in the heart and is waiting on open heart surgery,he is a very sick baby and would only sleep in the cot part of his pram.i talked to customer support and explained the situation and was told I would be able to get an equivalent pram,I told them that argos no longer stocked this particular hauck system and the other prams that were a trio were more expensive,I said I was very worried as I needed the pram to have a cot due to my baby only being able to sleep in the cot part, I was told again I would get an equivalent pram at no extra cost to myself,so I took the faulty pram back yesterday to the argos where purchased in the over gate Dundee with my baby in the car seat that goes with the pram only to be told that no I could not get a travel system similar to the faulty one I was returning as they were more expensive ,the one i picked out was out of stock so i picked the next one,I explained that when I spoke to customer service that they said I could get an equivalent system and never quoted an amount that they would not go over ,i then said i would be happy to take a trio travel system of their choice but was told there was no way they would because of the price difference,they said i could have a refund but when i asked how i would get my premature sick baby weighing 7 pounds without the car seat home they offered no alternative apart from trying to sell me a buggy and car seat set that my baby was far to small and fragile to use, the way I was treated was apalling I was made out to be a liar,I was made an absolute fool of and spoke to like an idiot,when the female manager finally came over she was rude and just stood trying to be smart,at one point in desperation I asked if I could get the broken pram back and use the refund to fix it,I was told there's no way I'm giving you a broken pram back that would be stupid, why would you want a broken pram,had i not been sold fault broken goods in the first place i would not have been in that position,then asked me and my husband in a sarcastic way if we new the solution to the problem because she didn't ,after an hour of getting no where I agreed to the refund and eventually managed to allow us to keep the car seat so we could get the baby back home,like I say had I not been told on the phone I would get an exchange for the equivalent at no extra cost I would have sourced a pram prior rather than having to have the baby out in the pouring rain trying to get another one ,

With great faith I purchased a wheelchair for my disabled family member, the item was delivered next day however I found a cheaper and better quality product so decided to return the argos product. That’s where the problems started! I was advised to wait from 7.30am to 9pm for the courier to collect my return - first of all how inconvenient for someone who works! The return was arranged for Monday 25th September 2017, at about 5.30pm I was surprised no one arrived to collect my order so I decided to speak to argos. When I spoke with argos I was advised the courier attempted to collect the item but was unable to as there was no answer at the door- what a lie!!! This frustrated me so much as I had missed a day of work and waited around for no reason. A second return was scheduled for the day after 26/09/17, hesitant was my emotion throughout the day. I contacted argos around 4 times only to be advised I must wait till 9pm. Surprise surprise no one showed up!! How ridiculous is this?! I was then advised to wait an additional 30 mins taking my wait time till 09.30pm. I called argos only to be waiting 30 minutes before getting through to someone - was there any point .: the guy I spoke with was inconsiderate and unhelpful - yes I’m angry but he didn’t offer any suitable alternatives. Still nothing has been sorted .. whilst the method failed twice they are expecting me to rearrange for a 3rd time. Shocking!

I ordered a new tumble dryer as my old one had broken, received an email stating that I. Would be contacted within 2 days with delivery date and would receive my order within 7 days, 3 days had passed and I had still not heard when my delivery would be, so I rang customer service and was told my contact details would be passed on as it was through a 3rd party company, another 2 days passed and I had still not heard anything so I phoned again, to be told what I had order was out of stock and discontinued and my order was then cancelled, if I had not phoned them myself they would still have my money as they made no effort to contact me, I had to do all the leg work and then when I wanted to make a complaint I was told there was no phone line to make one, so I had to then go on a live chat, which was also unsuccessful, eventually I ended up having to write a complaint on their FB page which got there attention, 4 days later I finally received my refund and purchased a new tumble dryer elsewhere.

Argos after sales is crap. I've been on the phone for the second day trying to get some help. I have now been on the phone for 2 hours and not one person seems to know what they are doing.

Absolutely shocking. Sent me the wrong sofa. Took three months to replace it, made me choose a sofa I didn't like or have a refund to a cash card which can only be spent in their store. Shocking attitudes from the staff on the telephone and failure to follow up any complaints I made. I will never buy anything that needs to be delivered from these monkeys again. They had a replacement identical to my original choice but I missed the delivery and they took it back to the store and sold it. Worst company for online sales ever!

I bought a tumble dryer and paid £24.99 for next day delivery. I selected the 2pm to 6pm delivery slot as I had a hospital appointment in the morning but then rec'd a message to say they had tried to deliver it at 12:30. When I rang the contact number to find out what was going on I was told"You'll just have to arrange another day ". They then said that they couldn't deliver until the following Monday _ a week away! I demanded a refund including the delivery cost. Ao.com were quite happy to take my order and deliver the next day as promised_ in the correct time slot!

"Put it in a bin bag".....argos is … "Put it in a bin bag".....argos is terrible. Do not buy from there. The customer service team have no brain. I purchased a whole bedroom suite. One large wardrobe and 6 drawer chest were faulty. First they arranged a replacement and collection without telling me. Then didn't tell me to wrap it so the drivers wouldn't take it away or leave the new furniture. I am a single small lady and it was hard enough to take it down on my own, and I have a v small one bed flat with no garage and had got rid of the original packing as I didn't expect it to be faulty. So when I call to complain the woman on customer service told me to wrap it in a bin bag. It's a large three door wardrobe and a chest of drawers. In a bin bag??? I have now lost two days pay due to their uselessness. They wouldn't even let me unpack the new one and pack the old in the packing. GET A BRAIN ARGOS!
