I ordered my psp in advance from this merchant, then I was told on the day of release they were out of stock. I had been waiting weeks for this item and then i was told i would be waiting for at least 2 weeks. Extremely annoying, so many items seem out of stock here, avoid.

Yet again i complain about Argos!

Sorted out the dispute in june *above* and was sent £20 vouchers as recompense *that makes up for the £320 wages i lost waiting for delivery again *mmmmmm, anyway its happened again...

Ordered on the 23rd august 2007...£240 worth of items..for delivery on the 24th august...delivery man didnt knock as someone was in all day...he/she just left a card to say that they would deliver the next day as no one was in!..i rang customer services to complain yet again only to be spoken rudely to from one of the customer services employees...i cancelled the order as i wanted it for the next day*mobiles and camera* and also i wouldnt be in on the next day for delivery as i had to go into manchester for a few days....anyhow...i rang customer services for 4 days...and they received the items back on the 29th august *where had the items been for 6 days!?* was told that when the items returned to depot they would refund the cost of the items.argos took the money out of my bank account the day i ordered...as the items didnt arrive on time or arrive at all i had to go further into my bank account to withdraw another £240 to go and pick the same items from a store 15 miles away...so thats £480 out of my bank for argos's mistakes*i am disabled but needed these items...dont drive..so the travelling and stress made me have a relapse in my condition*

I have rung argos 'customer services' numerous times up until today...was told by 1 c.services from the date of return that it would take up to 10 days for refund back into my account and WAS told that this included weekends...i have rung c.services yet again and they said it was 10 WORKING days!i dont believe it! so from ordering to refund *if i get it back* it has taken 3 weeks for a refund like i say if i get it.

I have rung yet again to c.services to be talked to very very rudely by a c.services employee *name obtained* who said before i even asked that she wouldnt put me throught o a manager because he/she would say the same thing...how rude!. i mentioned that if it takes this long for a full refund *was told its my banks clearing systems fault lol* then how come i had a refund of just the delivery charge *£4.95* and none of the items 2 days after cancelling? theres seems to be alot of lets say untruths at argos from the amount or if at all the items they have/not in stock...untruths from customer services who may i add are very rude...i asked her to talk to me like a human being and not to talk to me rudely...she didnt oblige.

Surely i could had had a full refund on the day the delivery charge refund was put back in my bank? so untrue about bank clearing system as this proves the point. Anyway rung again and i have to wait for a refund and it SHOULD be in next wednesday *3 weeks after ordering*

I am copying this website and attaching it to a complaint about argos to watchdog.

It seems since littlewoods ceased to trade*competition* argos thinks it can do as it pleases....i am complaining.main thing being that on the website even in small print it doesnt say how long you have to wait for a refund...nor about the length of time altogether...ie:the 10 working days claim....argos have missed this out and surely customer should know about this? anyway i gave argos another chance and its the last time...it is EVERYTIME I order...and ive lost faith. I wont give up this time until i have got somewhere with this complaint.

Please be warned before you purchase anything from Argos. They are not interested when things go wrong. I purchased a psp for my son 1 week before xmas. It has now broken and argos have told me I have to phone sony. When I phoned Sony they advised that they would send me a refurb psp. I bought a brand new unused psp and I expect this or my money back if it breaks down. I then phoned argos back - USELESS- they advised that there was nothing they could do. ARGOS ARE CRAP. SPEND YOUR MONEY AT ASDA - NO PROBLEMS WHEN THING GO WRONG THEY SORT IT OUT. DON\'T SPEND YOUR WELL EARNED MONEY AT ARGOS - THEY JUST DON'T CARE.

Please be aware that if you decide to purchase a mobile phone insurance from Argos, they will rarely pay out when needed! Also be extremely cautious when dealing with home delivery only items. Although these come in a satifactory condition, the timescales are incorrect. However the stores do an extremely good, pleasant job with what resources they have, but the stores are always the face to face people with the customers whereas insurers and Argos Direct don't get put through disappointing customers face to face, they can do it at the end of the line!!! To sum it up, - if you can't get it from an Argos store, don't Argos it - shop for it!!!

I thought I\'d write and express my utter disgust at the "service" I have recieved from Argos thus far. I placed an order in good faith for a weight bench, some weights and an exercise cycle. I was told they would be delivered between the hours of 8.00 am and 6.00 pm. I called your call-centre at 14.00 and then at 15.30 to be told the goods were on their way. My partner had to take the day off work as we both work full time. At 5.05 pm I again called the callcentre to be told that in fact the
goods were not coming to me. When I asked why I was told "I don't know" before insisting that she found out. After holding 3 minutes I was told the reason the goods would not be delivered today. I then asked to speak to a manager to be told that I couldn\'t and that the manager would tell me the same thing. When I insisted on speaking to a manager, I was then put on hold for a further 7 minutes before a chap called " N*** A**** " anounced that he was the call centre manager. I expressed my feelings and was told there was nothing he could do about it. He then said my goods would be delivered the next day which of course is of no use as I informed him that I work during the week. I then asked if maybe I could recieve a call as to what time the goods would come so that I could take a few hours off. Again "No" - Point blank. I asked what the complaints proceedure at Argos was and was told "you just have complained". I asked for a name and address to send a letter to but was told in no uncertain circumstances that I was not getting a name, only an address. I will have no option but to cancel as I cannot find out a time which this will be delivered and frankly by the way I was spoken to and my complaint handled, I do not believe that Argos even care. I will also be forwarding this email to a contact I have within Watchdog. Unfortunate that it had to come this far.

The main issue I have with these guys is the out of stock issue, I had to wait weeks for my Timex watch to come. I had to buy from Argos because they were the only people who sold this model. And it's definitely a good watch for such a ridiculous price. It also has a it has a chronograph which really is all you need. It came on time and not damaged, so no problems there. Payment system was easy to use also.
