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!"

“Writing reviews help build trust - I would say that this is not a company anyone should trust. I have only ordered something from Argos twice in my life, last time it was an iron and this time an ink cartridge and both times it has gone disastrously wrong! I ordered a black ink cartridge on Friday for a delivery on Saturday between 1900-2200hrs, nothing arrived. So I went on line to try and track it but to no avail. I then called Argos and was explained that my order had gone missing, although after the sales rep Calvin called my local store it looked like the cartridge had never been out for delivery the order had disappeared shortly after being confirmed?? But as always Calvin was apologetic, and to be fair it is not his fault although unfortunately for him he represents Argos so to me he is Argos. The best solution he advised would be for me to go to the nearest Argos store and he would make sure the cartridge would be there waiting for me. This is what was suggested last time when I had ordered the iron but when I arrived in store it had disappeared in the system, so to be honest I did not want to go through this again. Had I wanted to go to my nearest store I would not have arranged for a delivery. Arranging for a delivery means I would like to have it delivered to my home not to a shop. I then asked to receive a refund, oh dear this is not as easy as you may think, as the product has disappeared it is not possible for the cs to arrange the refund, the only way this can be done is through the head office and they will have to call me back within 24-48hrs to arrange the refund for me and then I will have to wait up to 10 working days to get the refund back on to my card........al this because I needed a black ink cartridge because I unfortunately have to work today and needed to print something that I am now unable to print anyway!! Thank you Argos for advertising a service that you can simply NOT deliver.”

“Recently I place an order however a supposed confirmation email I received turns out to be a cancelled order on my purchase. What is that? I didn't even cancel it. Ok that enough. I've called Argos 3 times today after a long wait because the payment was made using my voucher code and I would like to retrieve it back. The customer service team said that they will instantly send me an email with a new voucher code but I'm waiting up till now! I could say that it is a shame to have a very very very poor customer service for such a huge retailer like you Argos. A big discount won't make it for a worst customer service. Your customer including me would run away to a more reliable retailer. And Amazon will be a wise choice I think. You just lost your customer and customer'customer's loyalty.”

“I've. Been held hostage by Argos's delivery or should I say non delivery service all day today. Zero communication since they debited my account last week. I called them and the automated message said the could deliver up until 9pm, when it should have been before 6pm. Very unhelpful man on the fone asked if I had rung. Yodel. Didn't even know they were the delivery company. Fuming whilst writing this. Still no delivery, not so much as a txt all day. If you can't collect it yourself, don't buy from these jokers.”

“Argos say they are competitive but when I boght a tv from them I found out that it was £105 more expensive then other retailers The answer was they only offer price match on toys and against homebase which is the sister company of argos. When I complained and asked why that ofher company can offer 3 years guaranty on the same product and £105 cheaper then them they just went quit then I asked to speak to some one whow can explaine they put the phone down the store did not want to know either. We also tried to take my son faulty guitar because on of the strings was already broken we were treated like criminals and blaimed for bracking the string our self the lady so called manager was very rude and my son started crying we said we were not happy with the service and we would want to speak to somone else she no one else was availeble but we can phone customer services but they want belive us and she was correct they didint. My advice if you want to buy any electrical product and Ipad go to john lewis you will get a good servise and 2 exta years of warranty and dont go to argos other good high street retailers are also cheaper then argos. Take our advice do not shope in argos.”

“Very poor computer system. Tells me my order is ready to collect when in fact I waited another 20 mins after the tanoid said it was ready to be told it hadn't even been picked. Only 2 staff on one of which was a driver helping out which were rude and unhelpful. A shop at a busy Christmas period full of annoyed customers. Picking staff which looked like they needed a kick up the backside as theyccouldn't av been any slower and stopped to gossip to each other. Doncaster Wheatley hall road store is a joke.”

“Unacceptable extremely poor customer service. Argos were due to deliver a tumble drier 29/11 wasn't delivered unable to get through to customer service message now saying unless it's urgent call back next week! I just want to cancel the order and get my money back. Have sent 3 emails via the link on their website it states if u have not had a clarification within 12 hours to contact them again. Guess what no clarification. Also tried the order enquiries link to send an e mail came back as undelivered. Can't believe this company have my money and I have not received the goods and u can't get through to them to cancel. Will never order from them again there must be some sort of law against taking people's money and not fulfilling the agreement. Very poor show Argos.”

“Argos Online is such a disgusting company and should be closed down. They take the money, say they will deliver, they don't deliver. It gets worse, they text you to say "your were not home" - complete lie. They give you a number to arrange re-delivery but you can't get through at all, have spend 55 mins each time at over 5 times to sort out, still nothing. What a joke of a company”

“Had an undelivered item which was bought in the Black Friday sales, tried emailing several times but no response, also tried twitter, again no response! When I eventually got an automated email they gave me the link to their live chat, well that was pointless. Tried god knows how many times. Never worked! 3 days later they reply on twitter saying my item was out of stock! Thanks for the email or telling me that when I ordered or when delivering the other stuff. Now the item is double the price!! Crap customer service.”

“It's all about how much money Argos can make they don't care about the customers. We ordered a fridge because ours no longer work the only available delivery date was over a week away thats fine we managed to get time off work which is our busy time of the year in work. Argos called and left a voicemail saying they can't deliver on that date. After waiting almost 2 hours on the phone to speak to someone. They gave us a new date but can't promise that will come on that date. That date is over another week away. So that's a day off work waiting for something that might not turn up. Customers service isn't important to them. Wish I read these reviews before ordering anything from Argos. I will never order anything from Argos again. Especially when they said it can take up to 5 working days for the refund to go on. I feel trapped to them pay for goods and a service and all you get is hassle and stress. Such a waste of time and money they can't grantee anything.”

“bought a sony 32 inch tv for our static caravan, when i unpacked it i realized it was a little bit on the small size, so decided to take it back and exchange it for the same model but the 40 inch version (which i was prepared to pay the £80 extra) under their 30 day refund policy that argos operate,to my horror argos would not do the exchange because i had unpacked the tv from the packaging,i am now stuck with the 32 inch tv.i will never shop at argos again,moral of this story be very careful when purchasing a tv from this shop as you wont be able to exchange it if you opt for the wrong size tv.”
