Ive bought 3 items the last month for my niece and nephew from Argos and every single one of them have been used before, these i will add was quite expensive toys. Is this place going downhill. Has anyone else been having these problems? Its getting fecking ridiculous!!!
We bought a fridge advertised at a certain size ( in litres space ) which was a larger than normal unit. When it arrived it was a normal size fridge, but a lot smaller than advertised.
We complained and was told the one we ordered was no longer in stock etc etc. "We can do you a 20 quid discount"... "errr no".
In the end they refunded, but I've heard stories from people working there that argos deliberately sell items they know they do not have in stock or are at end of line, just to claw at sales and deal with the backlash after.
Also bought a wardrobe recently, paid for delivery, day before due to arrive, sorry it's no longer in stock ................what ?
I think that's probably true. A few years back I ordered a TV from them. When I got it, the TV in the box was completely different. After some back and forth I was finally told that the TV I had bought was no longer manufactured but the one I was given was to the same spec it was just 'cosmetically different that's all'. I pointed out that when an items sole purpose is to be stared at, cosmetically different makes quite a difference especially as the alternative was different colour.
Yeah...I think they're also missing the point that....when you pay for item A. You should receive item A. Not item A.2 that does the same thing and just looks a bit different.
Imagine going into ford yeah I'll have the blue focus. Day of delivery, yeah that's Green. Yeah but we ran out of blue, but the green one does the same thing.
