Worst Customer Service Experience of my Life. I'm currently living with cancer but dealing with Argos is equally as painful. I was delivered a faulty fridge freezer. 90 minutes on the phone later Argos agreed an exchange. When the new one was delivered it was obviously a customer return as it was scratched, was missing parts, had no protective packaging and was also faulty. The old one was not taken away as Argos had promised. Argos agreed a refund with a manager William Hardie. On the day the fridge freezer was supposed to be picked up Argos didn't turn up! I have spent 16 hours - no exaggeration- on the telephone to try and arrange pick up and a refund. The staff always promise a course of action and then never actually follow through. Christine Cameron was rude, obnoxious, argumentative and frankly shouldn't be dealing with the public. She emailed me in block capitals like an angry 9 year old that she and Argos customer services would no longer help me and she has blocked me from sending her emails! All because she couldn't manage to arrange a refund. I may have understood if I'd have been rude but under the circumstances I've been nothing but patient. I am currently £234.98 out of pocket with 2 faulty fridge freezers one of which is in the dining room. The staff have no understanding of consumer rights. Christine Cameron told me I needed to phone Indesit for a refund. Basic training should cover the obvious fact that as I've paid Argos for the product and when I reported the fault within a day it is their responsibility to refund the customer. I've disputed the transaction on my credit card as frankly I'm at a loss as to what to do. Luckily I have an email from Christine Cameron agreeing a refund and then saying Argos won't deal with me to send to my credit card company. Despite agreeing a refund, because of their incompetence all they've arranged to do is pick up one of the fridge freezers (If they turn up as they didn't last time) and leave me with a faulty one. I'm 47 and this is the worst customer service I have ever received. This would be difficult for any customer but as I'm currently receiving chemotherapy for bowel cancer I really have more important things to deal with. As I'm unwell and can't work I can't afford to be out of pocket and not have a working fridge freezer.

Terrible, terrible experience. Given misinformation on order, courier faked signature, wrote a formal complaint as weeks later had still not received item or a refund, all they did was send me an automated reply saying a refund would be processed with no acknowledgement or investigation into the situation even regarding the fake signature by the courier!!! Disgusted by this major retailer operating this way..will never do my food or clothes shopping with them again! Back to Asda I go! And now I'm trying to write my name on the review its not allowing me to-is this to stop it being published as a one star-believe me I would have given no stars if I could!!

Was told only 'selected' customers can leave reviews. There are no telephone number to speak to them only to order or ask about an order. They are not giving me a complaint number. Terrible! Bad attitude + discrimination

I ordered a kettle using the Argos website on Friday 4 August and the site said it would be ready for me to collect at the Milton Keynes store on Monday 7 August. When I went to collect it, the kettle had not arrived and nobody could tell me where it was or when it would arrive. I have been in contact with Argos via Facebook and called the customer service centre to be told just the same and have the delivery window extended from 14 to 21 August. I cannot understand why getting hold of the kettle of my choice seems impossible for Argos. Needless to say I will not be shopping there again in a hurry.

I ordered an item that seemed available for the fast track delivery. They told me that my item would arrive between 2 and 6. At 6 i contacted their online service and re-booked me between 7 and 10. When i contacted them again they told me that my item was out of stock. Argos delivery system and customer service is a joke.

Just awful. Don't trust the lead times and don't trust the live web chat operatives. Fridge freezer stated delivery in 7 working days, email confirmed this. Turns out its 9 working days and the stated lead time is 'only a guideline' (as if we're stupid for assuming otherwise). Still waiting on my refund. This is supposed to be straight away but according to one of their chat operatives you should allow up to 5 working days. Not sure how legal that is. I'm taking my custom to a local business instead.

We ordered three items. One turned up with a missing part. One was the wrong colour. We realised one had a missing part and called. They said all they could do was pick it up and replace it on two separate days, both with all day delivery slots. Once we realised the other item was missing we called again, pointing out two items of the three were wrong. They offered nothing else. We were insistent. They checked with the manager. All we got was a call back service for a call within 48 hours, and no compromise on the delivery slots. We had spent over £100 with them during a recent move. We stayed on the line for 30 mins trying to get a different decision. Eventually they hung up on us.

Ordered and paid for a Reebok exercise bike from Argos, I was told 3 weeks delivery. The bike turned up on the date, ok so far. Assembled the bike, but did not work, was faulty. Telephoned Argos, I was told the bike was going to be picked up next day and replaced the same day. Desembled the bike and repacked. Driver turned up, no replacement bike, even though I received messages to say it would be delivered on the same day. Telephone Argos, I was told that they had no intention of replacing the faulty bike and that I have been refunded. Or I could reorder for a delivery of 3 weeks. They refused to give me any confirmation of a refund and were the most unhelpful that I have ever experienced. Argos surely cannot tell me this is the only bike of its kind in the UK. Worse than dreadful service, will never use or recommend Argos again. Would give 0 stars if possible. Mr T. Plimmer (Bucks)

Purchased item and as soon as opened it was obvious that it had been repackaged and item itself was scuffed. Returned to store immediately and spoke to manager who told me to come back tomorrow as store closing and blamed her staff for not checking returned items . Not a good example of customer service . Will not be purchasing from Argos again.
