Bought Platinum insurance for our 2 collie pups. Researched online but rang to arrange the policy ( wanted to be able to ask questions if needed - didn't want any nasty surprise's) Unfortunately 7 months later one of my girls became ill, took her to our vets who kept her in for 5 days, as her condition worsened she was referred to the small animal hospital, where she was kept in for another week. She was diagnosed with a form of meningitis, she is recovering and will be on meds for 6months. ARGOS were BRILLIANT. I rang them to say she was ill and they said they would send out a form and wished her well. I received a text to say they were dealing with my claim and later copies to say that all bills had been paid. No hassle, No stress, No quibbling about the treatment or our vets referral to a specialist or the subsequent tests and treatment. They kept us informed and paid quickly, cant ask for more than that.

Disgusted. Tried to order a Dyson DC35 last weekend as in the sale at £199.99. None in stock anywhere. This weekend the same model in the sale at £249.00 saying it was previously at £299.00! What a complete con. Shame on you Argos & I am sure goes against trading stanards to advertise something when previous price was actually not as high as stated??

Due to a mistake with THEIR website, i missed the delivery day option i wanted for a new tv, i asked them for free delivery as it was their mistake and i would have to wait, the delivery cost was only £3.95 but it was the principal, they refused, so for the sake of £3.95 they have lost my custom and lost out on the sale of a tv and the customer services person was snarky....................bye bye argos

I purchased a TV from argos which came damaged out of the box. 1 inch deep scratch on the screen and stuck pixels. I took the TV to the Kings Lynn New Conduit Street store. The manager looked at the TV and said this was consumer damage. THE TV IS BRAND NEW AND UNDER 2 MONTHS OLD He called me a liar which was very embarrasing infront of a store full of people.. He then called customer services and left notes to say that I will not have a replacement sent out either. I called CS again only to be told lies over the phone stating that the TV was very grubby, the scratch was 10 inches long!!!! All lies. The women on the phone was very, VERY rude, trying to catch me out on something that is not my fault. Ive asked for all recordings and notes to be sent to me via email or sent to my address. Ive sent email complaints stating court action will start and that ill contact the Ombudsman. Im with my rights under the Sales of Goods Act. I will not let this slide and will do everything in my power to get this resolved and make this issue know by others. See you in court Argos if you do not resolve my issue. I will not let this situation slide by. Argos, contact me with the email address attatched to this review.

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.

Normally a good service from Argos as quick and easy but in mid December the website has been terrible. Each time we've been on it's stated that "oops, we're busy". Their website really ought to be able to cope with the demand of shoppers at this time of year. The whole idea of Argos - click and collect - is so convenient for busy people. It's such a shame that they can't cope with Christmas! : (

The Flash on my camera stopped working. I returned it to Argos as it was still under warranty. They sent it off for repair. Today I received a letter which said the warranty was 'void' as the camera had suffered impact damage and they wanted £75.71 to repair it. The letter also said return carriage/handling/estimate refusal charge is £23.24. The Argos shop where I purchased the camera was unhelpful.

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
