Argos Reviews

"Ordered a storage unit for garden tools.\r\nBox looked to have been re-sealed - I suspect having been returned by another customer.\r\nPlastic frame is twisted, screws not in box - still just about useable, but poor quality."

"Do Not Buy Bikes from Argos if You Want to Stay alive. And I am not even joking.\r\n\r\nI am absolutely horrified by my experience with Argos and their handling of a life-\r\nthreatening issue involving a self-assembly bike I purchased. The bike had a clear\r\nmanufacturing defect, which I noticed after the accident I had. After reaching out to\r\nArgos, I provided all the evidence, including photos showing a misfit rim and serious\r\nsafety concerns. I said I will escalate issue further if they will not resolve the case as\r\nthey ought to.\r\nDespite this, Argos ignored me and gaslighted me throughout the process. When I\r\nasked for documentation of the bike\u2019s quality check, I received no response, just\r\nplain email included in this review. Andrew H., an Argos executive, denied any\r\nresponsibility, blaming me entirely as the customer. He also failed to acknowledge\r\nthe fact that I had already taken the bike for an independent quality check, which\r\nrevealed the bike\u2019s instability and safety risks, including a misfit rim and potential\r\nbrake failure. Argos never conducted their own quality check, and it\u2019s clear from their\r\nresponse that they were trying to avoid any accountability. Andrew H. was a second\r\nexecutive who was dealing with my complaint. The first executive, Lee H., have\r\nnever took my complaint seriously and had a hope I will forget about what happened\r\nto me, by simply ignoring me. So I had to remind them about my case starting again\r\nfrom the scratch and receiving new case number. Don\u2019t ask what has happened with\r\nmy complaint with executive Lee-I was never updated on that. This is warning to\r\nYOU, every potential customer. Andrew told me Argos is not responsible for safety of\r\nthe products they are selling, which in reality they are responsible for selling unsafe\r\nproducts under The Consumer Protection Act 1987. Remember that. And remember,\r\nhe was trying to avoid responsibility but do not mind having a position of executive,\r\nwhile being incompetent of owning it.\r\nThis bike should NEVER have been sold. It is a serious safety hazard that could\r\nhave resulted in severe injury or worse. Argos' executives refusal to acknowledge\r\nthe issue and their dismissive attitude towards customer safety is shocking. My\r\nexperience has left me with lasting health consequences, and I strongly advise\r\nanyone to avoid purchasing bikes from Argos. Their negligence and lack of\r\nresponsibility make them a company that simply cannot be trusted when it comes to\r\nyour safety. Simply because they have clueless executives who only counting profits\r\nover customers safety. Do not make the same mistake I did\u2014stay far away from\r\nArgos when it comes to bikes!"

"At first, everything with them proceeds without a hitch; you regularly receive returns from the deal. The system first denies your request to withdraw money and directs you to a department that works to fix the problem within a day. After that, you can withdraw up to $400 once, but bigger amounts are rejected. If you don't comply, they then start to demand payment and threaten to freeze and seize your funds. Avoid investing in such sites because you will lose everything. I lost a hundred thousand dollars. I was able to get my money back after crying to a friend who put me in touch with the M-E-R-S-E-Y-H-I-P.C-O-M company."
