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!"

“I purchased the Jamal entertainment unit about a year ago and my son recently bent one of the door backwards - damaging the hinges. After searching the internet for a replacement hinge unsuccessfully, I called Argos' Customer Services to inquire which retailers stocked the hinges so I could purchase a couple. The friendly lady on the line told me that she would send me four replacements at no charge! I couldn't believe my ears! I am so impressed - thank you Argos!”

“I ordered a kitchen unit set. It was a larger item for delivery only. What was offered.... - delivery was next day between 12pm-4pm...paying £19.99 for express fast track service. - Email confirmation would be sent with order number. - £199.97 was paid using my debit card. What was provided.... 1. Item was not delivered 2. No email confirmation received, so no order number to track. 3. Payment was taken 3 times, the bank said Argos had my money already through the faster payment service. I called Argos 5 times and each time I repeated my details only for them to tell me I was not on their system. No apology. No concern or care. The bank confirmed yet again that Argos did have the money the whole £659.88. Argos refused to acknowledge that I was even a customer. The bank provided me with the payment reference numbers and Argos are now looking into it, however it will take them 48-72 hours before someone will call me back. I doubt they will and I will have to chase them. I'm in the middle of renovating and I can't believe they have taken this amount from me and university nothing to show for it. This has delayed my decorating and house move and left me with very little money to pay my bills or buy the things I need to buy. The bank say they will open up a dospute after 48hours so patiently waiting now! Shocking service I will never shop at Argos again and I cannot believe the ratings on here are so bad. Wish I had read them first. Argos do not care they just want your money. AVOID so rude also!”

“very poor company poor customer service and poor attitude. Can not believe this company still exists, why would anyone want to shop at argos. When they can not even be bothered to serve you in store then you order something online and only half the order arrives. good luck to anyone who works at argos”

“Ordered 2 items online using fast track. What a joke! Received a text to say the items were ready to collect, so went to the store only to be told they were not in stock and I would have to wait 5days. Checking online for ordinary reserve and collect it was still telling me the items were in stock, and also if I'd have ordered and had it delivered to my home it would have been there the next day. Having complained to Argos via email and also in store I have been refused a refund even though I have not received the items. So fast track is In fact a rip off, the slowest of all the services they offer and their customer service is absolutely disgusting. They have taken my money and not provided the product and refused refund. Will never be shopping with them again.”

“I was bought a Lenovo A10-70. The Lenovo review states that the model number A7600H has a slot for a phone sim card, which I was under the impresssion I was buying, but when it came to fitting the sim card, no space, the model I had been sold was the A7600-F which does not take a phone sim card. When I spoke to Argos about this ,they told me that they cannot guarantee that you will get the model you ask for, and have totally refused to exchange it. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ARGOS”

“My Dad in his Eighties bought a watch from Argos, but found that the strap needed adjusting by removing links from the bracelet. I took him into the Abingdon Store where he got it and was really surprised and delighted to find that they sorted it out right then and their and the staff were very friendly too.”

“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.”

“This is a little email just to say how disappointed I am with the service. I have bought some items online. I tried to see if went through so I tried the track your order bit but it wasn't working. I sent 2 emails and after 5 hours I had to call Customer Services just to find out that one of the items was out of stock and I would have to wait 7 days for refund. When I try to ask why as it wasn't my fault she start rushing into information. One of my friends start laughing at the situation as I was trying to buy something since yesterday. the person said "If you are laughing I'm just going to cancel your order" and hung up on me. For starters, how can be possible for me have to wait for 7 days for something that is not my fault or just a simple "change of mind" with the buy? the website kept showing availability for 10 minutes before I went through with the buy. So, how can I have to wait for their mistake? and the website still showing that a shop in Angel has the item. How come, a customer care person hang up on a customer? This is totally unacceptable. I don't know if one customer is important to them (as I've written to them), but I'm closing my account today (it is a new one, but I buy things from them in a monthly basis in their stores) and I hope I don't need to use it again for the time being. Please Argos, just be fair with people when it is not their fault and please, don't hang up on customers is very very rude.”

“Ordered a TV to be delivered online the following day. On the plus side, we got a phone call on Friday evening within a few hours of ordering that the delivery slot chosen was unavailable and that they would confirm when the delivery would be made. No clue until we call the following day in the afternoon, only to find out that the delivery would be 2 days late on a Monday. One star due to us only being available on weekends, the misleading deliveryb slot and lack of update before confirming a new delivery time.”

“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.”
