Product collected and when unpacked found items missing. Tried to take it back to store and was told we need to take it to Chelmsford store some 20 miles away. Apart from the problems of getting there in these days of Covid travel is against the law. We will not use Argos ever again and will do all we can to deter others for using Argos.

‪I am 19 and have saved for ages to buy a MacBook and upon paying for it it has failed but taken my money as pending. This has happened twice resulting in argos taking £2,000. The item isn’t in stock. I am utterly disappointed in your website that it would let me complete my transaction when your stores don’t even have the stock‬

You won't replace my faulty item in my local store because it's not in a Sainsbury's store. Your C.S advisers are rude, just cutting me off or refusing to reply.

As per another review, Argos have provided me with the most appalling level of customer service and I would not recommend them to anyone. I purchased a bed several years ago and opted for purchasing a three year accidental damage warranty. An engineer visited my home and confirmed that the damage was irreparable. Having waited over a year to receive my refund for the fault on the ottoman bed mechanism, I have been refused a refund by Argos although I was reassured that this would be processed at the time the fault report was carried out. It appears that Argos customer service agents are ill trained and not willing to assist customers when an issue is brought to their attention. I would not recommend purchasing products from Argos unless you are prepared to lose hundreds of pounds on their faulty items.

The worst customer service I have ever received. We had a sofa delivered yesterday with 2 leg holes filled it so we were unable to put it together and use it. We kindly asked Argos to send a replacement. We were told it would be solved within 24hours passed, 24hours later we have been told it will take 48hours to be resolved. We are critical workers and will not be able to receive another delivery during a national pandemic. So who only knows when we will ever receive a sofa, even though it says online I could have one delivered tomorrow. We have not received one apology, been given incorrect information 3 times by 3 different team members. We have not been given compensation unless we write a letter to head office and have received the worst customer service I have ever experienced, I’d love to know what they can actually solve for their customers. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. I won’t be.

Purchased a Braun series 5 razor between Christmas and New year. I persevered with it for nearly three weeks but the cutting head kept flying off when trying to have a shave. When I admitted to myself I'd have to return it I found that on sainsburys branches were taking returns and not the normal one were I bought it. When I took it back to sainsburys in Wigan I was told they didn't have another in stock but they could refund me and I could reorder click and collect from my original store. Very inconvenient but I accepted it it these difficult times they did not even offer to get me one into stock. When I got home and tried to reorder I found it had gone up in price by £40. She must have known this when she offered the refund. She had even told me it was in stock at Wigan Robin Park. I was absolutely livid that she had neglected to tell me the price was different before she did the refund and left me to find out when I tried to reorder. I tried to call customer services which was nigh on impossible with voice recognition switchboard saying it couldn't understand what I was saying all the time. When u eventually did get through I got through to what seemed like a foreign call centre who were absolutely useless and not interested in the service I had received. Just telling me there was nothing they could do. Absolutely shocking service all round and I will never use Argos again for anything. They have lost my business fir good.

Hi. Is my first time and my last time when I use Argos delivery and I’m so disappointed. I ordered a clipper yesterday and they send me a text saying the clipper will be here between 7pm - 11pm. Nothing happen, I ring the delivery man and he said he’s working on different area, nothing helpfully. I ring Argos next day to see what happen and they said, you’ll have the clipper tonight between 7pm to 11pm. And I have to cancel the order for delivery and get it for collect, because I don’t trust them. So disappointed 😞

I bought a chair from Argos. The chair brand was also Argos brand. On 15/01 I contacted Argos customer service team for the first time. The chair I bought and was still on warranty presented a defect: the left side was lower than the right. This defected caused me strong back and neck pain. After speaking to the 1st agent, she told me she'd cancel this order and because my chair wasn't available in the store, I could pick up another one. I made a selection of a few chairs as the problem was urgent - I am working from home - and spoke to the 2nd agent in the customer service team, who told me the chairs I had selected weren't available neither. I then called on 16/01 and spoke to the 3rd agent, for whom I explained again about my back and neck pain and the product defect. The option he gave was a refund, which I accepted. On 18/01, I called their team again and spoke with the 4th agent, who booked me a collection for the 19th. However, I noticed they didn't have my current address, so I called again on 19th morning and spoke to the 5th agent, who updated my address and booked a new collection for today, 20th January. I waited all day for the collection that never happened. I then called the customer service again and spoke to the 6th agent, who told me that this collection had been cancelled for some unknown reason - I wasn't notified. I explained for the 6th time the reason why I wanted a refund and she told me that actually, I had to speak to the safety team to see if I could receive a refund. Because I had spoken to five agents and explained the situation to each one of them and all of them said that I would receive a refund, I bought a chair from another supplier as I've got back pain and needed a new chair asap. I spoke to five agents who confirmed my refund and collection. Based on this information; I bought a new chair. Five agents didn't tell me I'd have to talk to the safety team! The safety team should have contacted me in 48 hours, which didn't happen! Now my refund is not confirmed, the collection hasn't been booked and I don't have any guarantees I'll receive my money back, which is absurd as the chair gave me health issues. I DON'T recommend Argos at all. The situation is ongoing for a week now. I have sent emails to the complaints team, contacted again at last 4 more times the customer service team and nothing! Horrible, horrible, horrible.

Under no circumstances should you order a large item that has to be delivered from Argos Ireland unless you are prepared to wait. They promise a 3-5 day delivery.....it bs. They treat you like dirt once you4 order has been made, they ignore your request to cancel the order and a request to lodge an official complaint is just ignored. Don’t order a home delivery item from Argos unless you want to be treated terribly.

Here is an e-mail I sent to ARGOS on the 12/01/21, I have since had a phone call offering me a £20 token, which I refused, absolutely shocking service. Last week I ordered and paid for a Bosch upright Fridge Freezer order number 241072971 from your company, at a cost with removal of my old appliance of £469.48. This morning the item arrived, it was brought to the back door where it would not, with the packaging on, fit through the door it is as you will understand a very large item in its packaging. Your delivery men had already refused to unpack or take the packing away with them due to the fear of being struck down with Covid 19. As the item would not go the door, I was told they could leave it in the garden and I could unpack it and carry the Fridge Freezer, it had taken two men to get where it was, into the kitchen. I am 67 years old with Sciatica and Arthritis and my wife is 72 just had a heart attack and is disabled, it was also minus 1% with a very cold wind. I was therefore left with no alternative but to refuse delivery, I had already with huge effort put the old fridge outside for them. This epidemic has been the excuse for bad behaviour and poor customer service by many organizations which now include ARGOS, the refusal of your Delivery men to unpack and bring into my house this item is inexcusable. I have since they went away looked at the possible transmission of the Covid 19 virus, and there is not one case of anyone recorded as catching it from packaging, which I must point out they had already been in contact with by unloading it and bringing it to my door and subsequently taking back and loading on the truck. I have ordered the same item from CURRY’s who WILL unpack it and install it AND take the packaging away. While I understand the need to protect people from Covid 19, this carry on today was going from the sublime to the ridiculous, and the apparent terror of some carboard and polystyrene displayed by your employees left me speechless. Let me assure you of one thing I will never ever buy another product from ARGOS.

So appalled by the service. I ordered a bed and the delivery was delayed 3 times. Not only did they delay but instead of ringing to tell you, they email you and ask to call them and put you on hold for 20 minutes - so you have to pay and waste time to be disappointed by the company. They finally got in touch to tell me that the item is not in stock. Firstly, it seems ridiculous to me that they would display an item on their website if it is not in stock? Secondly, why book a new date if you still haven't got the item in? I've had to order a new bed from another company and delivery is 3 weeks which is the amount of time Argos have wasted for me and left me sleeping on a floor. Really disappointed and unimpressed and advise anyone against using them

Trustpilot reviews Categories Blog My Reviews My Settings Help 1 star: Bad Just now Awful company I bought a bookcase which came in a 2 part flat pack. When it arrived on 20th December it was 2 different colours. It was meant to be white as shown on the website. Phoned customer service and went on live chat. New part to be delivered 24th December The courier arrived with part....wrong part again!. Phoned again, correct part to be delivered 3rd January. Duly delivered.....wrong part again. I have now requested a refund 4 times through phone calls and live chat. Customer service advised me 4 times they would pass this on to the help desk who would call me within the next 48 hours....still waiting😡 Argos now have the bookcase returned to them and my £165. Hopefully someone with a bit of clout from Argos will read this and have the decency to contact me and refund my hard earned cash. One star given as zero stars not available

I would never ever shop from Argos because they thieves and doggy in all different ways. It’s disgusting for big company like Argos not delivering my item but instead took my money. I ordered my first laptop for my daughter but never received it, to claim my money back I have to wait 14 days to do so. Argos told me my item has been delivered but the question is where was my order delivered to And was the delivery man blind for him to take my order to the wrong address stupid and disgusting nasty customer services.

I bought a Hitchi Television, no problem until I came to install it. It would not connect with Sky. Took it back for a refund and they would not accept it as the box had been opened. How the hell are you supposed to install a television without opening the box. The moronic staff at Carlisle were totally unhelpful and vertually accused me of being a liar. I will never purchase from this company again and hope that they cease trading as soon as possible. If I could give a negative star score I would, their customer service is deplorably bad, their most helpful reply was "that's your problem".

Bought a iPhone and it gave me error at checkout although money left my bank. Contacted them they said there's no record of order and money will return within 3-5 days. Don't order from these money hungry animals. Seems like this is a common problem for a while yet they haven't fixed it. Imbeciles

Argos put on a public face of caring but this just put on to get you to purchase if anything goes wrong this is the truth abnout the company.4 months ago we bought a matrress from yourselves on day was supposed to be sent we disposed of the one we had because we had a call from driver saying they would be with us within an hour ,in that call i told him we had to distance ourselves from him because we were SHIELDING (we are shielding because both of us have ms and are highly vunlerable)he said fine.2 hours later the mattress was not delivered so i rang to be told the order had been cancelled,i said what you on about?the replied the driver had cancelled it as he was frightened we had covid ,the MORON did not know difference between shielding and self isolation.THE JOKINGLY CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT said it had returned to depot so i asked could it be redelivered as it was their companys fault they astounded me by saying no it would have to be sent back to stock and would take about a week to redeliver.they expected us to sleep on floor for week 2 disabled people.with all their 1000s of vans did not have the technology or sense to do this we cancelled and got a professional company to deliver one for us NEXT DAY.I vowed never to buy another thing from argos cowboys however both of us did have laptops from argos we had both paid £94.99 for 2yrs breakdown care on them on 21/12 i spilled a drink on mine and it stopped working,i phoned domestic and general like book says to be told i did not have a policy? lucy did and we also had several other items registered with them but not my laptop,they told me to talk to argos customer care i phoned they could see the receipt but not the laptop it was protecting and because it was bought instore i would have to contact them,so i did they said they could not understand why the insurance company did not have it(turned out wrong address was registered by them for my laptop) so they told me to phone insurance company and ask them to ring store so i did.the insurance companty said they would not ring the store,so i rang argos at LONG EATON AGAIN they said i would have to come instore i had explained i was SHIELDING and had been since february 2 weeks before official lockdown and apart from hospital visits had not been out,but was told only way to sort and as my laptop is my main way of staying sane i reluctantly agree.i got to store saw manager and after some toing and throwing from them and insurance company the manager agreed with them and said my laptop would be picked up on 25th to be sent for repair i laughed and said they not gonna pick up chrismas day but argos manager was adamant that was case ,few hours later got phone call from repair company saying they did not work christmas day (surprise surprise but argos are masters of miss information and lies) but they did pick up on 27th told me when was going to be inspected on 4th jan got a message saying was going to be repaired by 19th jan.then tues 5th got an email from argos saying my laptop could not be fixed and here was a egift voucher for the £400.and its really easy just go and pick your item and pay for it.so i went online but they do not have a single 17 inch laptop for sale(i need larger screen as my eyes not that good)either for delivery or collection apart from 1 75 miles away from my home.so i rang customer services,spoke to young lady who said her company does not have the ability to transfer a laptop 75 miles to my local store or deliver it to home (i suppose it does take an eliment of effort and caring to exicute)but she said she would pass over to payments team and sure although she could not guarentee due to surcumstances they would issue as cash,the team would contact me within 48 hours to discuss.i would say argos could not lie straight in bed but to do that you would actualy have to deliver bed to do that.after no phonecall i rang customer service and spoke to ollie who in fairness within his scope was most helpful,i explained this all to him again he contacted his customer resolutions department (change your name to fo we dont care)who informed him it was in small print if could not repair item they would issue e vouchers to be spent at argos (this would be fine if you had suitible laptop for me to spend money on)im sure argos if any senior member of argos read this they will think their reputation has been enhanced by their actions and even if they feel need to take this down can read on all other platforms im about to put this on.the order number listed is for 2year agreement not my laptop or previous bed order but im sure if argos do reply to this will be with pretence of going to sort out ive spent hours of stress trying to get them to show some responsability

I ordered something from Argos and it never arrived. I had to chase them over the online chat and phone to rebook the delivery 3 times and I waited for 12 days... they didn't give me any reason or excuse as to why they didn't deliver it. In the end I had to cancel and get my £200 refunded...even that was a proving to be a problem. Awful experience.. I will never want to deal with Argos again.

I purchased a product from Argos a joie pushchair which includes a baby car seat from city centre whilst waiting outside in a que on a cold day as Argos won’t allow you to enter. After collecting it I returned home where I began assembling, although it might look nice but I was shocked to see how Argos can sell such an awful product espeacially for a newborn baby. There is absolutely no cushioning for the baby it’s so hard it’s unbelievable. Really disappointed and to top this off you have to return it to a Sainsbury’s store with an Argos which is more of an inconvenience by this policy
