Argos 1 star review on 26th October 2025

"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!"

“Ordered a dog guard, but it was not the same as the one advertised. Had to return next day to sort as shop was closing and I was not allowed to re-enter to sort it out. When I returned no apology or help to find an alternative offered. I therefore accepted refund but as I had used an easy saved card for part of the payment, I was told they could only give me a gift card for that part of the refund. I had no intention of buying anything else with Argos and just wanted my money back. after a 10 minute battle with the manager I finally got the refund I was entitled to.”

“We placed an order for nursery furniture the week before Christmas, arranging delivery for 30th December. Got a phone call the day before, rearranging delivery for 8th January due to a stock issue. Got a text the day before, confirming our delivery window so sat in and waited... and waited... and waited. No delivery. Phoned customer services the following morning, as the offices were closed that evening (delivery could have been until 8:00pm). Told that the delivery was not made, as the drivers 'ran out of hours', so just didn't deliver - no phone call, just didn't show up. Offered a new delivery date of 2nd February! Cancelled my order and arranged a refund. The advisor I spoke to was very helpful, but waiting another month to see if my order will arrive again (after two failed attempts already was unacceptable). I have since placed an order with another, more reliable company. Wish I'd read the reviews and warnings on here before I ordered. I will never use Argos home delivery again. Dreadful service.”

“I recently made an order for delivery which I obviously waited at home for. I had a message saying that delivery had been attempted but failed..an outright lie as I was at home. Trying to get a new delivery date was an absolute pain. I have never had problems with Argos so put it down to a one off.. However, I bought a bed last week. It got to 6pm on the day of delivery and I had a call saying the van could not get down my road..fair enough. So Argos arranged for a smaller van to deliver it, on Thursday. Somehow this date changed to Wednesdag, then I had a message saying it was coming on the following Monday! After 45 minutes on hold to customer services I was told it was actually to be delivered Wednesday. I took the morning off of work, thought I'd give them a call just to confirm my delivery as they don't seem to be 100% on any date or know what is even going on. The adviser tells me there is no record of my order coming on Wednesday, it Is in fact Thursday between 7 and 12. So I now sit here, on Thursday, at 11:30, no sign of My delivery and no phone call from the driver. Another day I have taken off of work. I called Argos for what seems like the 100th time, it has been confirmed the delivery is being made today but nobody knows a time. So basically, that's two days I have taken off of work, and currently still no sign of my bed. Im not holding out much hope it will even arrive today. Never again will I place an order with this company.”

“Someone collected a PS4 for me from Argos in Cromer on Boxing Day. They were told that it came with a free Uncharted 4 Collection game. They did not have it so I had to collect it from Castle Mall in Norwich by the following day. So I made a special trip to Norwich a total journey of 45 miles. However when I got to the Castle Mall Argos (between 11.10 and 11.30am) I was told it was not free. Therefore I made a special trip for nothing paying for both petrol and car parking. Never mind having to deal with all the queues. I complained to Argos on 27/12/2015 and they got back to me on 28/12/2015. They advised I contact them if I was unhappy about being misled and they will speak to the store to see if they would honour what was promised. So I stated that I was not happy. 9 days later I have no reply by email or any other means. Last time I shop with Argos.”

“I ordered a TV last Saturday and selected the 7pm-10pm delivery slot. I waited up in the front room for it to arrive and they never showed up, had no emails or calls. I left it in the hope that they'd arrive the following morning by some miracle. The next day at around 3pm they call me to tell me they're actually out of stock and that it'd take a week for the item to get down from some other warehouse and they'd rearranged the delivery, I agree to this which takes the woman on the phone by complete surprise so she quickly hangs up. Immediately after this phone call, I get a text through from Argos saying my item was cancelled and is to be refunded. I shrug it off assuming it won't arrive and then three days later they took the money out of my account. If you really have to buy from them, you'd save A LOT of hassle if you collected it yourself.”

“Don't expect basic customer service from Argos. They said they couldn't take my old bed outside - literally down a short hall to the front door and no stairs! Were not able to take away the packaging or assemble the bed. The only suggestion was to ask me if I had a rubber hammer which I would need to get the feet in. Rubbish service”

“Ordered a tumble dryer yesterday ONLY because it would be delivered within 48hours and just received a message to say it had been confirmed it will be delivered on 31st Jan 2016 . (one month later) Called customer service and they said it must have been an error, However it happened to my brother last month with a fridge freezer. My brother had to fight to get refund for weeks and they had no recall of his sale so I better get refund as promised !!Nothin but liars and cons.”

“Absolutely crap 'Fast Track' service I ordered and paid for a toy musical keyboard for as a birthday gift via fast track store collection service. I received a sms and also an email confirming that I can collect the item at selected store between 23rd to 30th December. I went to the store on 23rd and was told by staff that the item has not yet arrived, I showed the sms and also the email which I received from argos confirming the dates. I was advised by staff that the layout of sms and email is incorrect by Argos and that I should come back on Monday the 28th to see if the item has arrived. There is nothing FAST in Argos's FastTrack service. Its only waste of money and our time to go to their store.”

“Fast Track - what a waste of time. Its taken 50 hours of calls only to find out that the tv they sent me is second hand with an argos bracket on the back, as it came of the wall in the store and now it is returned, they now want me to get another one and pay for it. They never return calls and lie. Shameful behaviour from a company that prides itself on customer service, NOT! Do not use the Cowley Middlesex branch as both Ben and Paul are liars, not my words, their own delivery drivers.......”

“Absolutely disgraceful. Had nothing but bother. Bought a sofa bed which was for a guest at my mother's house, payed for and guaranteed I would get it on a specific day I recieved it 15 days late so our gest had to sleep on the floor, for Argos to turn around and refuse to carry it up the stairs once it finally arrived, leaving my DISABLED mother no choice but to do it herself. Then when ordering some items, I got charged twice and DIDNOT recieve my order because they once again didn't have it in stock. Also they did not refund the money and caused more hassle. More recently in a local argos store I waited 30 minutes to be seen on my lunch break because the staff "couldn't remember who was next". After waiting in the line watching people get served who hadn't been there long, I had to explain how long I'd waited. I told the boy at the till what I wanted to be told bluntly "no can do, sorry bye- who was next!? ". So I went to another Argos store, where the lady told me she also didn't have the item I needed, but that another store definitely had it. After spending £25 on taxi fair to get to the store which was a long distance away, I was again rudely served with "nah, haven't got it sorry". Never ever again will I shop at argos, what an outrage.”

“Ordered a camcorder for Xmas present on 15th December using fast track service I was advised on my confirmation email saying I could collect this from my local store between 20th-27th December. Turned up at store @ 12.30 on 20th December to be told it wasn't there they would be getting a delivery @ 15.00 (doesn't tell you on email to pick up after a certain time ) . I returned on 21st December after work @17.45 to be told again it wasn't there . The store where it was supposed to be coming didn't actually have one but they took my money anyway !!Luckily there was one extremely helpful member of staff who told me they had one in stock but because I'd ordered it online on fast track she was unable to just give me that one .After numerous phone calls made by her she was able to sort this for me . So 45 mins after I'd gone to pick up a "fast track " order I had my item . Glad she was able to help because another member of staffs suggestion was they'd refund this order and I buy the item in their store. But as this item cost £170 this wasn't an option as it would then take 5-7 days to get money back . Will not be using again”
