Awful furniture range. Cheap and nasty like many other argos products. To get your money back is like trying to get blood out of a stone! I will not be shopping at argos again. Very disappointed with the service...from terrible products to incompetent staff including store management! Complete waste of my time and money if I could give a rating of 0 I would!

Would never shop here again. Bought a wardrobe, noticed damaged when got it home. Told had to go to another store to pick up replacement parts. These were also damaged. No apology or offer to locate parts which are not damaged. Wasted 2 afternoons and at least £20 of petrol for nothing.

Beware! Stupid kid employed at argos in Havant wearing a managers name tag! After having to build and return two faulty Zinc Girls push bikes on my daughters bday there was no apology from the "manager" and not an ounce of sympathy either. Please think carefully before buying from Havant branch of argos...this bike is poor quality and customer service is appalling from a person in a position who should be setting an example to their staff!

Bought an amplifier and electric guitar for my son for Christmas - delivered to home. Waited in for the day - no time slots could be given. Upon opening couldn't use because amplifier was buzzing loudly. Returned to my local store, no replacements in stock, lady reserved one in another store for me to avoid me queuing in Christmas returns queue a second time. Drove to second store, paid second car park. Went to collect, but was told I couldn't just collect it I had to go through their cust services. Queued again. Two hours later back home, amp working but this then showed the guitar was not. No guitars in stock in two local stores. Phoned cust services, arranged delivery of new one the next day - wait in again, no time slots can be given. Damaged guitar taken, new one left. Open new one - guitar fine but lead damaged - wires exposed. Phoned cust services to ask whether they could just give me a new guitar lead that they sell in their catalogue for less than ten pounds so my son can have his xmas present - now 31st December, was happy to go and pick it up but... No!! Not company policy, unable to do that. Have to have a new guitar and lead sent to me. Got to waste another day in waiting on 3rd January. Can it be delivered to my local store so I can collect at my convenience rather than wasting another day? No!! Not company policy. If I like I could drive to a store in the middle of manchester - miles away - because they have one in stock. Will Argos pay my petrol, the original delivery charge if I have to go to a store anyway to get what I want and third car park ticket? "No because that would be my choice to do that" erm no, my choice was to have a working product delivered to my home! Can I speak to a customer services manager as I am really not happy with the service and attitude - two amps and three guitars is really diabolical but.... No!! They (managers) are "there to manage staff, not deal with customers" (quote!). So they have had my money since mid December but my son doesn't have his Christmas present yet - it's a good job he has had other things too - not from Argos I might add!! Have emailed customer services and look forward to their response.

Argos are good at trying to re-interpret UK retail law as it suits them. Their policy when it comes to mobile phones, laptops and cameras is that they don't take them back. They are on dodgy ground here where they attempt to avoid their responsibilities in law. I bought a laptop that was not as described and they have made me jump through hoops to get a refund. Their initial response to my complaint was that they were sorry I hadn't got what I wanted but they would do nothing. Then they would offer me Gift Cards. The final offer after a week of complaining (including to the CEO Mr John Walden - john.walden@argos.co.uk - postal address 489-499 Avebury Boulevard, Saxon Gate West, Central Milton Keynes, MK92NW) was a refund and a £20 token as a gesture. This smacks to me of a clear strategy that they will not fulfill their obligations unless they are dragged kicking and screaming to do it. I'm upping the ante by taking them to Court, reporting the matter to Trading Standards and I have already said that I will give them poor reviews where I can - consequently I am writing this. I have every expectation that I will win and it will cost ARGOS considerably more than it would if they had just done the right thing in the first place. They stack cheap stuff high and it may appear tempting but the price you pay with dodgy descriptions, misleading promotions and lousy aftersales service is what you get. A rubbish company with dodgy practices and no sense of fairplay. Go to Currys or Ebuyer - this bunch don't deserve your business.

Bought something online and paid in advance to collect in Fast Track, when I got to the store the systems were down so they couldn't give me my order or even cancel it and no idea when they would be back up. Waited 20 mins as they suggested, then left empty-handed. Would have been better if I hadn't paid, since I could just forget that order and buy it in store from scratch. Went there for nothing, waste of my time, now have to go there again! Never using 'Fast' Track again that's for sure.

I went to our local Nuneaton branch of Argos. Picked out items I wanted, checked on machine Yes they have them. After a long queue at the till I was told they are out of stock. Not happy I returned to pick another item queued yet again and was told this is online order only. This is the second time this has happened to me. Why don't they update the system when sold out and why do they put these item on the machine if you can't buy in the shop Will never ever go back would rather pay more and get better service

Don’t buy through home delivery service if there’s something wrong with your item ie wrong size etc your local store won’t help even if customer services say they should. I was told on three occasions that I could return the Item that I purchased the day before. Now will have to wait three days for item to be picked up then hope expensive ring does not go missing and wait for refund. Poor customer service by Argos

Black Friday...more like black everyday. This company's service is ridiculous. I received the wrong item repeatedly then returned them following their returns procedure and still have not received a refund. Despite speaking to several members of staff and emailing it has been over a month. They are quick enough to take your money. Will not use Argos in the future.

I went to the store im emersons green and the fast track system is terrible. I queued for ages at the fast track till and then when i got to the front i was then told fast trsck customers are queuing at customer service which i had tp join the back of the queue and wait for ages. Then when it was the person on front of me turn he was asked to go to the fast track till and people started queueing behind him which meant i nearly lost my place. I was then served and my order was not ready which meant more waiting. I did not even get an apology from any of the staff. There was nothing fast about fast track and i will definitely not be doing it again!

I orders Andrew Barton heated rollers and I received Tresemme! Not only that the box was not sealed and there was no delivery note. I rung customer services and was in hold for 20 mins and probably cost me a fortune! But I must say the man was very helpful. He arranged a collection for two days time and for the correct product to be sent and even refunded me my the delivery cost. But overall for Argos I definitely won't be using them again!!!

Order created on the second of October 2014 for replacement of faulty goods sold by them. Was given delivery/collection date of the 22nd November. Just received call today stating can't deliver on this day but would re-schedule delivery for the 30th December. So three months to replace item's sold that are unfit for purpose. Then they had the cheek to asked if I would like to cancel the collection for the 22nd. So they can't deliver order's but then expect you to sit on the floor until they decide to deliver. Worst company I have ever dealt with. Buyers of furniture beware..

Argos staff take great pride in being willfully ignorant of any of their current offers or discounts, and give customers a hell of time at the checkouts if you try to ask for one of them. They also have little or no knowledge of the products they sell, or do not wish to disclose any of this information to customers. And they absolutely won't let you say a single bad word about their staff or their products on their own website reviews page if you do eventually tolerate all the aggravation you get trying to buy something, and make a purchase.

pre-ordered a game (a month before release) they took my money and then they cancelled my order without notice (don't know when because they still kept my cash), and they reordered it after the released date without telling me (found out when rang up to find where it was day after release) so asked for refund and bought from another store.

Terrible service, I have ordered an Ipad mini a week ago and still not here! Been on the phone trying to find it's whereabout's for the last hour and given up trying to get through. I run my own internet company and would not have a business if I treated my customers this way! They have my money and I have no idea when I will receive my goods. Lesson learnt...never ever buy from Argos, they have not got a clue!
