I was to have a delivery between 1530 and 1730 today When I phoned at 1715 I was told they were running late and would be here by 1800 .I phone back at 1850 and told they had tried to phone but got no answer and the had run out of time and had refund to depot.The next delivery date was not until the 18 of the month.This is not good enough.The order was done on July 19 .Argos delivery service must be one of the worst in the UK.

Bought a cooker.which I will say is out of warranty but my oven door has come away from the hinge causing the door to explode.this is a manufacture fault but argos does not want to know.I'm not asking for a new cooker.will just the door repairing. I have taken photos of the damage.someone could have been seriously injured.

Lack of customer service referance no. ARG1960340NX Recently ordered some Lego sets on line, each one arrived damaged due to items only been packed in a plastic bag. Then tried to contact the Argos 'customer service' via phone (no answer), on line chat (not available) neither of which worked then sent e-mail after e-mail and today Tuesday I'm still waiting for a reply to my e-mail sent last Friday. Lets hope Sainsbury's know the meaning of customer service.

1.)Unfit for purpose Billy oh storage garden shed. Full of knots which fell out leaving holes, cracked wood that cracked even more when screwed together, panels and joints didn't fit, leaving gaps, doors didn't fit leaving gaps. 2.) On trying to get refund, explained it was unfit for purpose, already erected, and did as asked, took pictures, waited in 2x for collection. 1st refused to collect because we hadn't dismantled it, and it was stained with wood preserver. 2nd didn't come. Now saying we have to dismantle it. It cost to have it erected. Asked them to arrange to dismantle it, as we aren't going to pay for this. They are refusing, and saying the thing isn't in saleable state,( it never was!) so they won't take it back. This is very wrong. Very bad product even worse customer services. NEVER buy from them.

I paid for "same day delivery" which they offer, but they cannot deliver. I'm waiting like an idiot for the delivery, which should be between 7 and 10pm. No sight of any courier. They haven't even tried to contact me with any information about the delivery. Do not trust, do not use, do not buy anything! Just waste of time.

Ordered a chair at the end of June and specifically chose a weekend delivery date - first one available was end of July which was acceptable. Today had a text stating delivery has been postponed. Cue lots of texts to and fro until I was able to get another weekend - but not until end of August. No explanation, and no phone call to explain. Dreadful customer service. Don't expect to receive anything you order on the date given.

Never have anything you need in stock! On the odd occasion they do have the item you require, they only stock the one. Good luck getting another delivered to the store, usually it's unavailable for reservation and when it is available to reserve it will take them 5 days to get off their arses and get one in stock. Absolutely useless!

I have ordered an under counter freezer on the 12th of June 2016, Order number:213750833 . Website stated delivery within 5 days to post code. One month later, no show. I sent an email to Argos to enquire about the order. I was informed that the freezer was not yet delivered due to a "stock delay" and that I will be informed when delivery will take place. Another 2 weeks on (6 weeks later in total), and I am still waiting. Yet, when you go on the website it states that the freezer is in stock and delivery is still stated as "within 5 days" to the post code I need it delivered to. Disappointing, Unacceptable customer service.

Ordered and paid extra for next day delivery for a Layzspa hot tub. Waited in all day only to get a call mid afternoon to say it would be another week. Shambolic service - go elsewhere,

I fast track ordered two tower fans the night before the anticipated 'hottest day of the year' in July and received an email saying delivery would be between 7am-8pm the following day. At 8:15pm I phoned customer services to find out why they had not been delivered. CS closed at 8pm! Clever timing that! The automated voicemail found my order and stated that they were still expecting to deliver that day. By 10pm with heat not diminishing I wrote an email to Argos asking why they had not been delivered when the order had been fast tracked. At midnight gave up and went to bed. Phoned following day, was passed along, hung up on and generally messed about, until a very nice lady kindly told me that there had been 24hr delays the previous day and I should have received a text. I hadn't of course. She reorganised the delivery to between 4:30-8:00pm that day as nobody would be in before that. When going home I found a card to say that the goods had been left at 2pm and were with a neighbour! Grateful to have received them at last, but why can't they deliver on their promises, or at least have the courtesy to contact you if they cannot! Email never answered.

Finally goods turned up Monday 18th afternoon, but delivery instructions ignored and nearly missed driver who parked not where suggested on del instrucions-anyway goods arrived but one item missing out of stock!Bad service-should not promise delivery when not possible-and special delivery instrucions ignored-plus have to specify if you dont want argos to deliver to neighbour-they dont tell you that on order form-MANSFIELD-NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

It is more a case of what went right ! Purchased a Fitbit Surge watch/activity watch from Argos in Clitheroe,no instructions other than to go online for them which is nothing new nowadays. Followed the instructions for charging and basic setup,then placed watch on wrist as per instructions and within a few hours I felt to constant need to scratch my wrist beneath the watch,took the device off for a while and tried again,same result. Tried again the next day,just the same...the watch gives me the need to scratch beneath it. Again,I tried whilst outside driving and the same result. At the next opportunity I took the watch back to Argos and was told because I had charged the watch and placed it on my wrist that they would not refund as it was now used as it had been charged and on my wrist !! Also that I should have worn the watch without charging or setting up...nowhere in the instructions online is this suggested.Apparently as it has been charged,they cannot sell it again ! should that really be the issue here? They referred me to customer services and I am told just the same...also they cannot give me a customer service number for Fitbit and just said to get online and take the matter up with Fitbit...how can this be called 'customer services' I find this a very shortsighted of customer retention for the sake of £160-00...I could have spent that in store should a credit have been offered. Well....they have lost a customer for the future for sure,how could I ever have the confidence to buy from Argos again with the knowledge that there is zero support. I hope this serves as a warning to others with reference to Argos and Fitbit.

i went to place an order but couldn't find its correct name or on screen i explained to the young lady working there she knew what i wanted but couldn't find it either i told her it was in the disability section but no such section mobility section was what i wanted she 1 st told me that the item i wanted was no longer sold and when i said id purchased a handy reacher only a month ago she then told me it wouldn't be in stock i got home and found the item in stock and ready for click and collect bascically she and her friend rushed me out of shop as it was 15 mins before closing and suspect they wanted to get home early instead pf helping me its more of a big deal being that I'm disabled and in a great deal of pain walking i think its disgaceful and the fact that no one has even bothered to reply to my email shows they really couldn't careless

Ordered a bed which i needed urgently as i had company arriving so chose Argos as they delivered within less than 24 hrs of ordering online Pretty Good you might think but oh no on arrival and unpacking the bed was in a pretty bad state loose panels plenty of chips and grooves i personally think a 2 year old could have made a better job of making one Ok Argos only supplied but on telephoning customer service was told could not collect for 2 weeks at earliest and it would be 5 working days after that so nearly 3 weeks in all before i get refund back so in the meantime no bed and no money to buy a new one its ammazing how they can have one delivered to me in less than 24 hrs and take money out my account for unfit goods Would never ever purchace from them again or would not reccomend
