“Tv”

★★☆☆☆

written by Princewilliam on 28/02/2023

Avoid this company at all costs. If you have a complaint there are only robots to answer telephone calls. Bought a tv that was faulty no one was interested. Website rubbish too. Visited Sainsbury’s Argos in Poole personally to resolve problem and still no satisfaction. Few others will give 5 year guarantee on any tv and give an amazing service and no more expensive than Argos Frustration beyond description.

“Bad customer service”

★★☆☆☆

written by Dawnpin on 16/10/2021

I have been trying for nearly two months to get a six wheel deluxe folding shopping trolley from Argos, I finally managed to order one, but when I tried to put it together today, one of the Axel's was missing, I contacted customer service and they were not very good, and they insisted that if I wanted to a replacement I would have to do click and collect, even though I mentioned that no one can drive in our house for medical reasons, and we have no transport or support nearby to help us, and a manager is supposed to contact me back but I have heard nothing not very impressed with this situation

“Beware of there prices”

★★☆☆☆

written by Squibsey on 10/11/2020

Just got the argos Christmas catalogue. You find an item you wish to purchase in the catalogue when you go online to place the order it is more than the catalogue price. The offer is from 06/10/2020 until 24/12/2020 you contact them about this and are told the price went up the night before and to read the small print. Smyths toys is doing a lot of the same toys and cheaper than argos with free delivery as well. I know where i will be shopping from now.

“Gone Downhill”

★★☆☆☆

written by Shane399 on 01/09/2016

I was happy with Argos and its ease of changing an item if went faulty, until today that is. I bought a Remington Electric shaver in April, and this week the covering where you hold the shaver has split and is starting to come off. Argos will not change it as they say it has been dropped, which is has not. Despite me arguing that the shaver is faulty they refused to change it. I will think twice before buying anything from Argos again.

written by Karen4brian on 18/08/2016

I ordered the two seater Carrington sofa for my parents replace their existing 3 seater . I was looking forward to it arriving and called them to check it had arrived.

“Misleading Customers”

★★☆☆☆

written by MichealCardenas on 24/04/2016

Ordered a Whirlwind Hoover Vacuum Cleaner and when I got the product home I discovered I had been given a Hoover Spritz model. Went back to store and spoke to customer services and after speaking to several people it was agreed that the product had been replaced owing to surplus stock of the Spritz Model. I pointed out that they were advertising the Whirlwind Model and this is the product I had reviewed and wished to purchase, so I was told I could return item for a refund fair enough I thought but if they had item in stock why couldn't they just sell me that. I tried contacting Argos direct and all they would say is 'if I'm unhappy with product to return it'. They also stated that there would have been a notice displayed or I would have been advised at checkout. ALL of which I was Not. Very frustrated with Argos as I asked them many questions and made several points but all were met with "Return for Refund" My questions are these: 1.How many other customers receive wrong products/models (or may not notice)? 2. Why are they giving an alternate item when advertised item is available. 3. Why aren't customers advised. 4. Why are they still advertising and selling product and which Model is actually being given. (Not good for Hoover if customers have researched products and have choosen a model of preference). The list could go on and on and like many customers before me I agree that you could do a product review IF INVITED, but this would be pointless as : 1. You can't review a model you didn't receive as this would be unfair to Manufacturer. 2. Argos seem to only print reviews they are happy with. 3. It does state that reviews are for product, not customer services, delivery etc. Fair enough but where is the place for reviews of the company (I.e customer service, aftersales, pricing, delivery issues, etc). Tried to contact Argos without much success. No explanation, no satisfaction, just notification to return item for Refund. NOT GOOD ENOUGH ARGOS. Customers please be AWARE!!!!

The next day, still having not heard from anyone at John Lewis, I called again to try to inquire about my blinds only to hear that the order had not been processed upon the day of purchase and had only been placed after I had gone to inquire in store!

“Absolutely terrible”

★★☆☆☆

written by GilbertHays on 13/09/2015

Paid for a guaranteed delivery and no show. On calling John Lewis they can't say where our delivery is and whether we will receive it today. Absolutely gutted we have wasted our evening waiting for an expensive TV which is no where to be seen. Ridiculous, customer service zero. Will not be recommending to any family, friends or colleagues.

“I purchased a Bosch hub and installation on John Lewis...”

★★☆☆☆

written by MarcieBerger on 13/09/2015

I purchased a Bosch hub and installation on John Lewis website, to replace the older Bosch hob. The hob stopped working within less than 12 hours post installation. I called John Lewis to request that they send an engineer to check the hob and the connections to complete the installation. I ended up being transferred several times, with no single department willing to take the responsibility for this. John Lewis' online department did not want to deal with this as well. It turns out, when a product

“Do you have the product or not?”

★★☆☆☆

written by BostonCollier on 03/01/2015

I went into Argos to prefer an item which I had found ononlinewhen entering the store I found the number and was told the product was in stock. Going to the till I played and gave my details for delivery I was then told the item was out of stock. I went home and tried to order the product from a different company and I found the product on eBay being sold by Argos. There has been too much hassle and too much time spent on such a simple thing. The customer service has been terrible when in the shop. The website gave very poor information and the shop also gave different. The electronic screens in the shop barely work and are very slow.

“Choosing a Baby Car seat thats safe from Argos not easy”

★★☆☆☆

written by Robbarker on 26/10/2014

We look after our first grandchild on occasions and had the need to purchase a car seat for her, she is aged 10 months and we purchased a seat which was advertised on the Argos website ……the make was a baby start racer 1-2-3. When we got it home and opened the box it was of a completely different design and size ….we took it back and paid more for another baby start seat which again had to be returned as it could not be installed to an acceptable standard of safety. After three seats that were not suitable We ended up going to Halfords who were very safety conscious regards baby seats and we were able to look at every model they sold with really good advice on which type would suit the age of our granddaughter and the type of car it was to be used in We also learnt about buckle crunch which can occur if the seat is fitted using certain types of seat belts where the buckle rests against the seat in a certain way that if in an accident could break apart allowing the seat to propel forwards. We paid a little more but we ended up with an extremely safe baby seat which they also fitted in our car for us free My concern is when you buy baby seats from Argos there is no mention of buckle crunch and they seem to sell certain makes of seat which can only be considered as totally inadequate regards safety My advice is when buying a car seat go to somewhere like Halfords who have staff that have been trained on them ……although for us cost was no issue….. There are very reasonable priced seat available at Halfords and the peace of mind that we have a safe environment for our granddaughter while traveling with us means so much.

“Plush lies”

★★☆☆☆

written by dark_scion on 12/09/2014

Honestly, for the price of the two plush I just bought, you'd think they'd keep the quality up, at least they'd show what was in the catalogue right? Nope, neither Twilight nor Pinkie were what they were supposed to be, the Alicorn Twilgiht has these very fake flat wings that seemed to be sewed on an already existing regular Unicorn Twilight. And Pinkie, while nothing "terrible" hasn't had her stuffing put in her mane, it's flat right now and I'm going to have to figure out how to open it up without ruining it to get the stuffing in there. This for nearly £70 is horrible, there are shops on Etsy that-while cost more-the quality is there, you see the work put in on them. Won't be using Argos for anything plush related again and might turn away from them alltother now, there are cheaper and far better looking designs on Amazon that would suit the fan far better now. The Pinkie I can somewhat forgive, it's only a small screw up, but the Twilight is down right misinforming.

“New but used Laptop”

★★☆☆☆

written by boblockson on 28/03/2014

I purchased a Toshiba laptop which I must say I am very pleased with. I tried to download the trial version of windows office, only to find it kept getting rejected. I phoned Microsoft UK to see if there was a problem or if they had stopped the trial version. They done various checks and told me that the trial version had already been downloaded on my laptop nearly six months ago, I asked how this was possible as I had only purchased the laptop over a week ago, to be told that it was likely to have been a used laptop I have bought. After getting in touch with customer service and being fobbed of with excuse after excuse and no help at all. I for one being a loyal Argos customer will think twice about using them again.

“Delivery driver hands my items over to ? ”

★★☆☆☆

written by Em2014 on 25/03/2014

Basically I ordered some wardrobes and draws. Meant to be delivered on mon 24/3/14 between 12pm and 6 pm at 5.55 pm I ring Argos to find out why my items haven't been delivered yet. Only to be informed they have :/ but no one has been to my address at all. Can't contact delivery man to see who's stolen my items. Have to then contact police and wait days until they can come and see me to give me a crime ref no that Argos are asking for. So now have an appointment with the police tmoro.... Spoke to a manager I think she said she was and she was really nice and authorised my times to be re sent. Good contact with Argos and I feel the problem has been resolved. Although the delivery driver us to blame and wants the sack in my opinion as now someone has over £250 worth of items for free!! Really disappointed and very stressed by the whole ordeal. I now feel I can't order items for home delivery as I can't risk losing things if paid for and having to go through all this again.

“ARGOS SHOPPERDISC.CO.UK”

★★☆☆☆

written by lmMorrison244 on 28/02/2014

I will not be buying from Argos online again, as if you don`t check the small print, you will be enrolled on an programme, which your card details will be passed onto a company shopperdisc.co.uk, and £10 will be taken from card every month. They can also take money out of your card account if the card has expired. I am £20 down. I know many don`t check the small print. All they want to do is purchase the item(s). Looking on the internet a lot of people have fallen into this trap, not just with Argos. Argos need be more upfront about this company. A lot are falling into the trap. Sort it out!

Maryor's Comment

Written on: 05/03/2014

Hello,

We are sorry you have concern about the Shopper Discounts & Rewards programme. Unfortunately, there are incorrect comments online about Shopper Discounts & Rewards and I would like to take this opportunity to provide you with the correct details so that your concern is properly addressed.

Shopper Discounts & Rewards is a membership programme through which members can save hundreds of pounds each year. Some of the benefits of the Shopper Discounts & Rewards programme include an initial £15 cheque, a £10 monthly bonus, 20% off giftcards and 10% cashback at over 650 online stores.

Please be assured that Argos did not pass on your details to Shopper Discounts & Rewards. It is not possible to be registered for Shopper Discounts & Rewards based on data from a previous online transaction. Consumers are offered the opportunity to join Shopper Discounts & Rewards after completing a purchase at one of our online retail partner’s websites. All prospective members must manually enter the following details into the online Shopper Discounts & Rewards membership sign up page: their name, email address, postal address and their credit or debit card details. This sign up page clearly states there is a monthly fee – in fact there are at least four references to it on the sign-up page. After entering these details on the sign up page, the prospective member must also create a personalised password and then click on a YES button to acknowledge they have read and agree to the membership Terms and Conditions and the Offer and Billing details which are clearly stated in text adjacent to the YES button. All new members are sent a welcome email to confirm that their account has been created, and also to let them know they can start benefiting from the programme straight away. On the registration page and in the welcome email we let you know that membership is free for the first 30 days so you can try the programme out, and after that it’s only £10 per month. You can cancel your membership at any time.

We will be happy to assist you and further address your concerns. However, it's difficult to do that in a public forum when we don't know who you are and are not able to identify your Shopper Discounts & Rewards membership record. If you would like further assistance from us, you can call our customer service team (freephone) or you can complete the contact form on our website. Alternatively, you can contact me. Please reference this forum when you contact us.

I would like to know from anyone who has purchased the Habitat Salisbury leather Sofa recently to how the leather looks like. Does the leather finish got a shine to it as the pictures in the gallery of the 3-Seater. I have purchased one and it does not look the same as the pictures and from one I purchased a couple of years ago. Yet I purchased 2 back in 2016 and 1 in 2019 and they look the same. This 3- seater sofa leather has a dull distressed look.
