I was foolish enough to believe the advertised 'same day delivery'. What a great service I thought. My watch was off for repair so I used the great idea of 'order by 6pm and deliver by 10pm'. On a Thursday at 4pm I scheduled a new watch for delivery between 7pm and 10pm that day at the cost of just £3.95 for the guaranteed time slot. I sat back with a glass of wine and waited. And waited. And waited. At 11pm I went to bed grumpy. 3 days later (Sunday) the item arrived. Still trusting a well known brand I complained to Argos. Did they sort my issue? Did they provide an explanation? No, they emailed after another week to let me know that 'as a goodwill gesture' they would refund the £3.95. I would say that calling a refund of the money for same day delivery (not achieved) a goodwill gesture is disingenuous, insulting and probably legally questionable.
The moral of this story. Argos are not capable of delivering same day, Argos don't care about their customers, Argos will fob you off with whatever bullsh1t they can if you complain.
After seeing the 'same day service' advertised I though pt I'd do my Christmas shopping with Argos. Now I've seen their new service in reality.... I'll be shopping at Amazon.
