Bought a laptop, not working well. Two weeks outside the 30 day return period, I went to the store to change it. They refused, offering a repair, which would take over 21 days. I called customer services, who confirmed that it was a branch matter and they could not be involved only to mediate they did and the same replies. I was even planning to change it for a more expensive model, they did not want to know. Argos has my low rating.

MANY ARGOS SPECIAL Offers do not infact exist. YOU WASTE TIME CHECKING LOCAL STOCKS, NATIONAL STOCKS AND HOME DELIVERY ALL UNAVAILABLE. Just a con trick to suck you in to buy something else.

Bought a Amazon Echo Dot and took it out of the box. The next day I returned it to store, and tried to exchange it for Google Mini but said it had been used as been placed on a surface and there was a little spec of dust on it.

Argos in Lincoln, terrible customer services. I bought a gazebo yesterday and put it up the same evening but it was way too big for my patio. It was almost big as my whole garden. So decided to get a refund the next day but the two lady staffs one grass stuck on one of its pole. So she told me that I cant get it refunded. I told her that how was I supposed to know that if it way the right size for my patio without putting it up? Then she started telling me all the return policies. But they didn't tell me any of them return policies when I was buying it. I definitely wouldn't have put it up if they had told me the return policies when I was paying for it. So I had to bring this gazebo back to my home which I can never use it and I paid £110 for it. My blood and sweat money gone in vain. When I tried to argue the matter other lady turns up and starts telling me the policies again and she told me that I should listen to her. Basically she was telling me that I should shut up and just listen to her. No politeness or customer handling skills in these two staffs, very unprofessional. They could have talked to me in a polite manner and convinced me in a Proffessional way. Big let down, never buying anything from Argos Lincoln again in my life. I shall pass this message to all my friends and families.

Be careful people when placing orders in store.. We’ve waited 6 days for our babies new cot. Phoned them and basically had to give all the details fro our receipt. (Luckily we’re more organised than them) No record of our order. Then told we’ll receive an order number by text in the next 12 hours, Then should be contacted by Thursday to find out when it will be delivered. So just being treat as another order!! Not as a customer who’s been messed around. My partner doesn’t like to say it, but I will. Terrible service by Argos. Should be chasing the order and getting it to us ASAP! Not just having to WAIT some more. By the way, apparently it happens quite a lot! 1 * service.

I am disappointed on 3 things - 1) i could not obtain nectar points with my purchase as I have since found out your click and collect on YOUR website does not allow one to obtain nectar points, only if you buy through the nectar website- it is disgusting and I feel cheated. 2. ) I could have purchased the item £10 cheaper at Currys but I always look to Argos when buying an item of value and this time I am absolutely dissatisfied that your price was NOT competitive. I will not be looking to you first in future as I now don't trust your pricing. 3.) Every time I buy a big item from you - magically 2 days later I get a voucher in the post to spend more money. I feel cheated again as rather than at random intervals you automatically send your Argos card customers a voucher to spend to show you actually value your customers, it is only when i have spend a large amount I get a voucher through the post and to add insult to injury - it has a short expiry date. POOR Practise.

I've been waiting 17 days for my refund on an item!!! I was told 5 to 7 days depending on my bank...rubbish, my bank has always processed any refund I've had within 72hrs, Argos are to blame! Going to have to phone them for a 3rd time and get told 5 to 7 days again no doubt! I will never buy from Argos again...I'd rather pay more for an item than use them again with all the messing about I've had to do...to get my OWN money back!! Grrrr....

Placed order for home delivery. Case for holiday and birthday gift for my young daughter. Ordered in plenty of time and due to work decided home delivery was the better option for me. Delivery day they said arrived and no order. Called to ask where it was told still in delivery company depot. They would re order it and get it next day and to expect email confirning this. Have waited 7 hours to get email and nothing. Call them back and ask what is going on to be told cant get it to me on time for daughters birthday. Going to have a very upset little girl. Rubbish attitude on the phone I do apologise, yeah that still doesn't get my order to me on time. I hope I see refund of my delivery costs.

sales misrepresenting and flawed IT system when transacting with their e-gift cards/vouchers. Recently I have been looking for a new Dyson v8 cordless vacuum cleaner on google and the results prompted Argos that offered the cheapest (£50 less than its peers like Curry’s). In Argos website the item was listed as Limited Stock but was available to be picked up from my preferred store the following day. I proceeded to do pay and collect with my e-gift card. Instead of a webpage that should have shown my transaction ID, it said the transaction would be on hold as the item may not be in stock. It also stated that my card would not be charged. After waiting 3 working days without any further updates from Argos, i decided to call their CS and all they said was the item had been no longer in stock despite their webpage still advertised the item was available (for both instore collection and delivery). CS could not even figure out from their end if they have any stock left nationwide. To my surprise my e-gift card had been charged in full. It took me another 30min to have the CS to log my claim and I did not get my full balance back after 48hrs. CS assured me that it was just an one off technical error. I made the same order the following week as it appeared to be stock again. The same technical issue arose (the balance was taken off from my egift card and item was not on stock) and I went through the pain again to phone up their CS. Right until now I have not received my refund despite CS promised the refund in the next 24 hours since I logged the claim.

Absolute joke service. Ordered a fridge over a month ago and it still hasn't arrived. I've called Argos five times and they've been entirely useless and have even hung up on me once. An absolute joke of a company who like to blame the delivery company that works for them. Almost laughable if I wasn't already in tears!

The absolute worst experience I have ever had with trying to make a purchase through a company. Tried to place the order online, it didn't go through properly and I was told by the website that I would have a communication from them within 2 hours. I didn't. On phoning them I was told that I needed an authorisation code from my bank for the debit card payment I had made. Phoned Argos back, and the advisor put the phone down on me. Phoned back again, and was told that I didn't need to provide an authorisation code and that the previous advisor was incorrect. Managed to get the order sorted and believed it was all good. Got a text message from Argos a few hours later confirming this, and called back to sort out compensation for the time wasted earlier in the day (as I was advised to by the last advisor I had spoken to). At this point, to my shock, I found out that the previous advisor had provided completely the wrong postcode, so despite their assurances, the product would not arrive with me the next day. I have cancelled my order, and will be going to a different shop to make the purchase, when Argos finally refund my money.

Ordered Ring doorbell £89.00 online for collection instore. Got there 30 minutes later, cash in hand and was told, sorry the price is £99.00. No, it's £89.00, I could pay online now and collect express. Jess said, we wouldn't let you have it! I phoned customer service who said they should honour the £89.00 price, please hold the line. He then phoned the store, came back to me and said the till won't let them alter the price therefore it's £99.00. I said escalate my complaint please. I also fired off an email when I got home and then promptly ordered on Amazon. No wonder the high street is dying, just another reason to buy everything at Amazon. Customer service at stores like this is appalling. I'm pretty sure that legally a contract has been entered into at the time I got an email saying thanks for your order, please collect instore within 2 days and pay £89.00. I doubt I'll even receive a reply to my email!

My worst experience with Argos I had today . Never experienced such a bad customer service like in this store ( Argos London Colney shopping centre) I had to deal with the store manager Alex. I wanted a refund for an item bought just a day before. I brought back in perfect condition with original packaging and receipt. He refused to refund me and he was very rude with me . In the end went to another store near by and sorted it straight away. Shame to this store manager ( Alex) who wasted me time.

I purchase a stroller. Which is from birth to 18 months. It’s too tight for my 9months old baby. I took it back exchange. I was refused. The store manager was rude did not even check the item. I contacted their customer service. They couldn’t help because it’s their policy. I had to leave it the store. I got ripped £40. You will definitely pay it elsewhere. RIP off

One star given as zero star is not an option. Purchased a ProAction dishwasher just over 1 year 5 months ago, it completely died mid cycle - clearly an inherent fault at manufacture. If Argos’ budget dishwasher is not expected to last even 1/6 of the average product life expectancy (9 years) this warrants a disclaimer, failure to do so will continue to lure those living on a restricted budget into false economy that cannot be afforded. Pushed from pillar to post by so called 'customer services' - Repeatedly passed to staff in differing teams hence, having to repeat the issue over and over, being placed on hold for up to 20m at a time, being cut-off, disinterested staff (sighing, speaking over me, not listening, snorting at me) and several, obstructive, conflicting information given and out-right lies told. Complaint submitted to Sainsbury's Argos CEO John Rogers who simply passed my complaint back to the 'executive office', had he read my complaint he would know that I was not expecting a response or seeking a resolution - It was a complaint, end of. Executive Office (cough) has merely rubbed salt into an open wound. Have sent further email to John Rogers and copied in his superior Sainsbury's CEO Sainsbury's CEO Mike Coupe. After 30 years of shopping at Argos I am resolute in my decision to boycott. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement, exceptionally poor service from start to finish. Little wonder Sainsbury's is experiencing significant losses.

I ordered, Salisbury sofa set which was supposed to arrive on the 17/5/2019. Fine until I received a message which said I sofa set will be delayed until 7/6/2019, a week after my partner is due to give birth. Customer service phone, (order another sofa) live chat (problems with supplier). So out of curiosity i put the same sofa set in my in my basket to see when a new customer who hadn't ordered weeks ago who get the set. Apparently 7/5/2019, So I'm guessing no matter when you order argos will clear the back log and deliver to all new customers by 7/6/2019 be warned before they take your money. Very poor show argos and very poor customer service no resolution to the problem at all.
