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

The worst company I have ever dealt with! Purchased a wardrobe on Oct 28th, delivered on 3rd Nov, received damaged! Called them had to wait 45 minuets on hold to speak to someone, couldn't pick up damaged wardrobe and re deliver until the 13th Nov, wardrobe was re delivered again DAMAGED!!!!!!! Tried calling again several times countless hours wasted with terrible hold music, call backs promised that didn't materialize! arranged a collection date 18th Nov which no one showed up. after literally tearing a manager a new one was the wardrobe collected by a third party company on the 15th Dec!! i was told i would be refunded withing 5 working days, its now the 11th Jan and i am still without my money i paid on the 28th Oct!!! if you have any sense don't not invest you money! products are not fit for purpose and the customer service is DIABOLICAL!

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.

I ordered a bed from argos , at the time of purchase it said 5 days delivery, I paid in full they took the money but 5 days later I have no bed or emails of them , I phoned today at 6.30 pm phone lines were busy I was on hold after 45 minutes (7.15) I got an answer she said you have no delivery date ill just put you on hold a few moments while I get you a delivery date , again I was on hold , customer services phone line is open till 8 pm so as I was still on hold at 8.25 pm I decided they'd fobbed me off so ended the call I am disgusted with argos customer services, i will never buy from argos again, as I'm still no nearer to finding out when my bed will be here , quick enough to take money from you ,

So mad with Argos right about now, ignore e-mails and fob you off with excuses. They delivered my sons Christmas present damaged and have still not replaced it.

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.
