Absolutely appalling shopping experience and terrible customer service. I am normally a happy customer who is very easy to please and loves giving 5-star reviews without being prompted, when simple and basic promises are fulfilled by companies even if something minor went wrong along the way (for eg. a delivery that was 4 hours late, providing they apologise and keep me updated with delays etc, I'll still be a happy customer in the end). I rarely leave bad reviews but on this occasion I have to share my terrible and horrendous experience about Argos who don't seem to have a clue about keeping their promises or delivering the most basic of customer services. Now here's why: 1) I recently placed 2 orders online on 20th and 24th August and never got my 2 × £10 vouchers (I even saw the 'Get a £10 voucher when you spent over £100 advertised on TV at the time'). 2) On the 2nd delivery, of which I also paid a £3.95 delivery charge, I was sent a fitted sheet instead of a backpack. I reported it immediately and whilst the fitted sheet was collected the next day 'at my inconvenience', I am still waiting for my refund of £32.99 for this backpack which was promised to be credited back to my card within 7 days - it is now 21 days and no sign of my refund! 3) I enquired about the 2 missing vouchers and also asked for compensation for this wasted time, picking error and inconvenience and I was eventually issued 3 vouchers. 2 × £10 vouchers which I was automatically entitled to, due to my 2 online orders of over £100. The 3rd was for the compensation for all the above hassle. They issued me £10 for the 3rd voucher but I noticed that 1 of my other 2 vouchers had only £5 credit and not £10. So I had £10 + £5 + £10. I then queried why this wasn't the full £30 by email and they ended up cancelling a £10 voucher and reducing the other one to £5. So now I'm left with £15 in vouchers from an initial £25 when it should have been a total of £30 in the first place! 4) The customer services team have a policy where they prefer one to make contact by phone instead of email. Well I am old-school and prefer to communicate by email so I can have everything in writing and have an email trail to refer to when needed (such as now). This is how I discovered that my refund for the £32.99 was never paid back to me and I would've forgotten otherwise as I have other important things to do like everyone else. I expect my refund by this Friday 20th Septemer. You can keep your vouchers!!! Argos used to be a great company but they have gone down the drain and I won't be buying from them anymore!!! Shocking!!!

Well Argos delivery worst experience ever, delivery team was unable to respect they're delivery slot as promised so when I phoned them they've assured me that delivery will take place and just found out 20 minutes later from their website that they've 'doubled' my order then a text message followed saying 'we're sorry but delivery...and so on'.That was tedious to not be able to deliver similar products ordered two days before and just two miles away. I literally needed the wall paint to finish my bedroom decoration that evening,so they've just let you down. I will no go soon to Argos that's for sure.

Paid £20 for Saturday delivery and stayed in all day - Argos didn't deliver. Phoned at 5.30pm only to find they hadn't put the item out for delivery. No phone call, no apology - taking the p!55 😠

Absolute total diabolical service from home delivery. We ordered our daughters new bed to be delivered for her birthday. I got told multiple lies from the call operator at Argos who kept changing the story on why its not been delivered. Argos have really gone down hill and will not service the future with this level of service. Never again.

Bought a bed and draws to go under bed. Argos delivered two different beds. Turned out they had discontinued the draws so I returned item. Customer service were fine but number is an 0345 number so cost the customer and they keep you waiting and paying. Then Argos had a second computer error and did not turn up in allocated time slot for beds. Driver refused to turned back to pickup. Argos refused to refund money till beds were picked up....so daughter had to sleep on floor whilst we waited for Argos to eventually reorganize a pickup. So three evenings spent waiting for Argos and in the end no bed!!! Argos customer service reply to this is sorry but tough. Great customer service Argos.....will not be using them again EVER!!!!

Faulty mobile phone bought from Argos and after 20 days wanted to exchange. I need it for work and had already lost money due to the faulty G5 also purchased from Argos. Changed Motorola's three times with Argos due to faults and decided to abandoned the brand as the handsets were too unreliable. Couldn't afford to delay as needed a phone immediately for work. Rang customer services, first lady was totally unhelpful. I asked her if I went in store to exchange/refund which is my right under consumer law and the store refused to do it - which happened before - could I call them to back me up. She told me the store had the authority to either help me or not and it was up to them. Utterly useless. I pushed the point politely and eventually she got it, but I think she was promoted by someone else to agree. That's what it sounded like. Rang again spoke to another person who continually interrupted me and refused to let finish what I was saying. When I tried to explain he then accused me of interrupting him! When I confirmed I understood that I needed to call Motorola and would do so he then tells me if I go into store with out the reference number....... I've just agreed to call them, but to prolong the lack of progress he goes back to a point already resolved to be patronising. He tells me he is reiterating the point. No, your being patronising and argumentative. He was so rude and I could tell he really didn't like his job or was just an unhappy individual and brought that to the work place to inflict on customers. Great, what a fabulous personality type for dealing with the public! NOT. Rang back to make a complaint and got the same awful guy again. Yes, he continually interrupted me again and I just told him that I couldn't talk to him because of his constant interruption and ended the call. The standards of customer service in the UK is dreadful. Just got back from the USA and it was like a different world. People don't see serving the public in any way as beneath them, but in this country they do and that's the problem. They want to feel like they are superior to you and choose to be rude because it's a way of devaluing the personal on the other end of the phone. The message they convey is that I don't respect you and will treat you accordingly. The narcissist in the call centre. Lol they're everywhere 😨 Motorola told me that they do not do diagnostics or ask for phones to be sent to them as it effects the customer's consumer rights due to the time delay. They told me that I should return it for an exchange or refund and that was my right under the law. Thank you Motorola for being straight with me. Argos stop misleading consumers with regards to their consumer rights or weed out these individuals from your team because they are making your brand look seriously untrustworthy. I would seriously think twice after this experience going to Argos again for anything electrical including a mobile phone!

When I was making an order and tried to change the pick-up address the system told me it was broken so I could not change it. So I completed the order with the offered address assuming I would be able to call the Customer Service and change it there. I then tried both Customer service Chat and their hotline, but both said they could NOT change it given the address I wanted was even the same Road in London, just closer to my place! They could not even extend the pick-up dates! But then what is the Customer service for if not to be able to amend something that cannot be done automatically due to the failure of theit own system? Terrible service and attitude to customers'requests. Very unprofessional.

Disgusting service, I emptied my fridge freezer ready for my delivery, only to discover it had been rebooked, however no one informed me of this. I’ve wasted a day off and £50 of food, also I have to wait 24 hours for a confirmation of a new delivery date, possibly in 8 days 😡 I feel furious. No compensation has been offered for a wasted day off or the wasted food. Extremely poor service

- Prices are cheap because some items are not of good quality - Wouldn't refund me on a return as they stated that I did not return the items when I DID, even after I gave them proof of delivery - Customer services are a bit lacking.

Argos are without a doubt the worst company to deal with. Their delivery service is appalling. Then when you attempt to rectify the situation you are offered a ‘live chat’ with what is an automated computer. I would never shop with them again and I’m so surprised given this level of customer service they are still trading.

Horrible returns policy Horrible returns policy. I bought an air cooler which was not doing a good job. Tried to return to a store but they didn't accept it saying that the product is used. The term used means that it is been plugged in once which I don't understand. Called customer care on the first first instance the guys told I can return it with no hassle and asked me to go to store and give them a call. Once in shop, I called the customer care speaking to a different agent he told it is upto the discretion of the store owner. When I said that the previous agent had told I can take it to store, he was reluctant and said the other guy was wrong and left me embarrassed in front of the complete store and felt foolish. When I speak to a customer care agent, means I'm speaking to argos representative and it cannot be that each person can have different views. Never had this experience and to be honest, Amazon is the best in terms of returns and I'm never ever going to buy a single thing from Argos. If argos does not want to work like other ecommerces, they better stick on to their traditional brick and mortar shops and at some point close down (which I think will eventually happen).

Good question would be easier to ask what didn't go wrong I ordered a washing machine was told it would be delivered on wed 14th August between 07.00. And 13.00. it got to 14.30. I rang argos was told shouldn't have been told that time but everything was running to time and it would Definitely be there by 15.20. But no it eventually arrived at 16.30 now I had waited all day for this and had to go shopping so off I went but 2 mins later the 2 burly delivery guys had come back to my house my 15 year old daughter answered they said is your Mum there she said no so they grabbed the washing machine my daughter asked them what they were doing they said we need to redeliver it later my daughter rang my Dad and told him he got straight on phone to argos lady said she would find out what had happened and ring him back in 2 minutes 45 minutes later no reply so rang again was put through from 1 dept to another and just got fobbed off so rang again and was told putting you through to argos fraud department I was put on hold for 1 hour 20 minutes I even involved the police at this time it was not until the next day that I actually found out they had delivered someone else's item and mine was left at depot so why couldn't someone have told me this when it happened it would have saved my 15 year old daughter being so upset thinking someone had stolen my washing machine and also would have saved 3 and half hours on his mobile phone God knows how much that cost so when it was all clarified the next day the lies from argos still didn't stop as I was told by agent had been offered £35 by way of compensation but she said to me with all the money it would have cost in phone calls and the upset caused to my daughter who may I remind you is a minor at 15 years old so if I would ring after item was delivered on new delivery date of Saturday 17th August that they would sort out an appropriate compensation solution as £35 was not good enough in her opinion so when I rang again was offered £32 which quickly changed to £35 so once again more lies from argos they just keep on coming everytime you ring them

I ordered a camera from Argos. I picked up the order from a drop off at Sainsburys and took it home. The item in the box had been replaced with a cheap USB charger of similar size and weight and the box had been sealed up. I rang up Argos and they wanted nothing to do with it. Absolutely disgusting customer service and a fraudulent transaction they want to wash their hands of. Either they don't check their returns or they have thieves somewhere in the distribution system. Either way it's not great. And if something goes wrong they will do nothing to help you. Argos will never again get a penny from me. Save yourself from a similar experience.
