Awful customer service at MK Grafton Gate store today. Refused to accept that an electrical item purchased only a few days ago only worked intermittently and was therefore faulty. The very arrogant manager made no attempt to listen to what I was saying. His response to my concern that the heater might present a fire risk to the elderly and immobile relative it was purchased for: "I will not be responsible for that, the manufacturer will be". Shockingly bad customer service. I will never shop with Argos again. Truly awful.

I was given a used laptop, when I switched it on it didn’t go through any set up, just went straight to the desktop with icons on the desktop, a message also popped up saying that antivirus needed renewing. Laptop went back but argos tunstal store didn’t have a laptop replacement, I had to go festival park to collect from that store with no apology for giving me a used laptop and for having to bring it back and then travel to another store. This store is not run very well, it seems to be low on resource, very slow service, even had to wait 10 minutes after my number was called, the boss was to busy on his mobile whilst the other staff were running around like headless chickens. What’s happened to argos, used to be a nice store to shop at

Unfortunately I have had to terminate my long [over 20 years] shopping at Argos. I wanted them to take my date of birth off my details & give me a pass word or use some other form of ID, Example the last 3 or 4 digits on my bank account details [they obviously know them I have spent thousands of ponds over the years. But recently my identity has been compromised. My current account card went missing at Argos, that was why I wanted my date of birth removing. But Argos refused to remove my date of birth? Or give me any other form of ID. However they did ask me for a copy of my driving licence, Passport, Birth certificate [would that not just give Argos even more details?] In addition to this everyone seems to have my details now, even my phone number, what is going on with all this I identity fraud. At the end of the day All I wanted was to take my D.O.B. of their database [mainly so it could not be passed on or sold on]. After all it is my D.O.B.

Argos were due to deliver us a bed today but called this morning to say the order had been cancelled 'by them'. We have just moved house, all our furniture is in storage so we will have to sleep on the floor. The only compensation is the offer of a lilo which we will have to go and collect from a store 30 miles away. Disgraceful.

i recently purchased in store in Camden (London) a pillow and 2 sideboard to be delivered to my home address-they couldn't delivered together (WHY?) so the first delivery, the pillow , never arrived. i waited 3 hours at home for it and then i called customer service and they couldn't even find the order number that was on my receipt! the advisor was able ot see my receipt but he said somehow there was a "missing order on the system"( check Argos Ref number 1282546692) and couldn't find the pillow! he advised me to call back the following day to re-arrange a second delivery as it was already 10pm and their offices close at that time. as advised i called on Sunday morning and spent 20 minutes on the phone- i have asked the advisor if i could collect the item from the store instead of re-delivering as i was on holiday and i had things planned everyday- the advisor said yes but as it was a "Missing order on the System" he had to create a booking order (?) to collect in store (like you do when you order on line) and he said to ask the person serving me to call ofr the "Resolution Centre" to obtain an authorisation to cover the costs of the pillow (?) as obviously i already had paid the £13.99 and i shouldn't have charged again... OK... i thought it was sorted... the following day i receive a text message regarding teh booking collection, i then go to Argos store in Camden (London) and i repeat what the advisor told me to say. The advisor call teh "resolution Centre" for authorisation and, after 20 minutes, i was told it ws not authorised because Argos had re-arranged for a re-delivery the same night ! i was unaware of this as it was not my choice and none ever mentioned it to me! i was so upset i have asked for a refund in Store which was denied because the delivery was already re-arranged and i had to wait after the re-delivery to decline the item and call again costumer service for a refund! so, the following day i receive an email from Argos and i am requested to call custome service which i did! i spent 45 minutes on teh phone and i was eventually able to speak with a manager that said she couldn't do the refund online as they didn't have my card details in it so i had to come back in store! i probe the manager to provide a reference number for this conversation as sinc e the beginning of the whole experience i had the impression i had to repeat myself millions of times with thousand of different people with no clue of what i was experiencing! the manager gave a reference number and PROMISED ME that if i had presented this ref number in store they wouldn't have asked any questions and they would have provided me with a refund! NOT REALLY! i went in store after one week as i was abroad before, i provide the reference number to a sales assistante and she was on the phone for like 15 minutes after which she come back and said they were trying to sort it and that i might have needed to call back the customer service again for a refund! WHAT??? the store is telling me call customer service... then customer service tells me to go in store and over again! after 4-5 phone calls and 2 visits in store i received my refund of £13.99! do you think this is good customer service? this is not the end! i did purchase 2 sideboards together with the pillow and choose a home delivery for tomorrow between 7-11am (order on receipt was 221504848 but then they couldn't find this number neither and a little angel told me the number was now 221524788)- today i receive a text message from Argos telling me the delivery will be between 10-12! again! dejavu! NO! i am losing hours at work and have booked GP appointment at 11:30 on purpose not ot loose many more hours of work for my visit and i cannot wait until 12. i have just called Customer service and after 10 minutes on hold a guy tells me he is going to call me back as soon as it gets hold of the driver... it has passed one hour already and i haven't received a call back from Argos.... do your conclusion... worse customer service ever... much too long waiting times and they do not keep records of enquirers/issues/complaints. will not use ever again!!!

I have ordered a Roger Black treadmill, it was a faulty. We got an electric shock while we are walking on this. Surface is also small. I am a first time buyer at argos but I have not expected this. A final quality check of the product is missing. What’s the guarantee from Argos. This fortunate it’s a minor electric shock. What if this was a major.. Very bad experience.

I purchased two items of gym equipment. The first a barbell set. When I was going the through the purchase process, I was able to pick my delivery slot. I chose 19:00-22:00 on a Friday as a knew I would definitely be at home. I received a text for the other item asking me to ring an 0800 number which I did. The chap told me I had to commit to an 07:00-19:00 slot and then the couriers would send me a 4 hour slot which could be anytime. I said this isn't convenient because I am out on school run twice a day and also work shifts so I either need a 4 hour window in advance. He said this wasn't possible. I asked if when I receive a 4 hour slot whether I can change it, he said no your order will be cancelled. I asked if I risk doing a school run during the 4 hour slot what would happened. I was told my item would be returned and my order cancelled. There was absolutely no flexibility at all with the delivery so I cancelled the order and will take my business elsewhere as obviously Argos don't want it.

As I write this, I’m sitting at my home waiting for an Argos delivery, I was doing the same all day yesterday. Yesterday, after contacting the driver on the phone he stated that he had just finished his break and he was 8 minutes away. After 10 minutes I rang again and was told by the driver that he could not find the address and was now out of delivery time and he would be returing to the distribution centre. the phone then cut off and I could not get back in touch, the phone just rang out. After contacting Argos I was told that my goods would be delivered between 07.00 and 11.00 the following day (today) - Unfortunatelly I can't report that Argos have even made moderate progress in delivery management It is now 11.00 and no sign of my goods. My Partner rang the driver and was told that they are running late. I have no doubt that Argos considerations are now that I am just just another nuisance complainant !!!

I think you are making a big mistake running your business since the takeover. One of the main assets of Argos and partly why it survived the resession was that you could find what you wanted and go to the store and pick it up.But now you are making customers go to an Argos site in a Sainsbury store and wait. This defeats what was your greatest asset. Now you might as well go to Amazon for your needs and get what you need at roughly the same time (slightly cheaper) A real shame and a big mistake. Once you close these Argos stores you will loose most of you business!!!

Disgusting customer service by "Faizal" Manager at Argos Hounslow. I went to collect my v expensive computer item, which he slammed down hard on the counter and was extremely rude to me throughout my visit. He is in the wrong job. Nasty individual. If you want BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE, visit this store. I pity the staff that work with him and his bad attitude.

Every time I order online and collect at Bridgemead Swindon my item isn’t there. Even after numerous texts and emails telling me it is. Whilst there another customer was having the same problem. But what really is unacceptable when you try and write a negative review on the Argos website that THEY have requested me to do, they won’t print it.

Terrible. Quick enough to sell you something but if that item is not fit for purpose, ie doesn't work properly and this is over 30 days, tough on you. You have to pay for someone else to fix it. Esp white goods. So in effect you pay twice.

Went to dudley argos today and accused of using a product, manager Sarah was so rude and abrupt couldn’t believe her attitude and wouldn’t even let you talk shouldn’t be a manager and at one point thought it was amusing so filed a complaint, no wonder as a company sales are down she clearly didn’t want to be there and certainly shouldn’t be. One of the worst argos i have visted
