Wifey bought 2 wooden recliners from ARGOS two weeks ago - got them back home to find one of them was completely smashed inside the box. So took it back two days later and replaced it - during the swap, wifey noted to them that the box was different however was told its the same chair - got it back home and guess what - a completely different chair - so today, back to ARGOS to switch them again - wifey checked the stock online last night and reserved the last one in stock to make sure we dont waste a journey - so got to ARGOS and guess what - NO STOCK!!!!

I asked them to check the stock of the incorrect chair against the correct chair - after 10 minutes they found that they did in fact have one in stock and stock system was wrong

So we switched chairs and brought the new one home.................Now here's the crunch................we now have the original smashed chair again - the SAME BLOODY CHAIR WE TOOK BACK 2 WEEKS AGO

Me annoyed................HELL YES!!!!!!!

Sounds like typical Argos. Our fridge broke, so we ordered a new one from Argos. 'Oh yes, we have one in stock, you'll have it on Thursday'. Dad stayed off work on Thursday expecting to take delivery of the new fridge. It never turned up. Phoned up Argos, 'oh sorry, we don't have any in stock, you'll get your fridge in 2-3 months.' So we're expected to manage without a fridge for 2-3 months Asked for our money back (they'd already taken it out of the bank). 'Oh sorry sir, we can't do that'. After causing a scene in the shop we finally got our money back, drove to Comet, and had a fridge from them within a few days. Never shopped at Argos since. 2002 Discovery Adventurer LE

It's where your butler goes and buys most of the goods that you need, tells you he bought them from Harrods at a hugely inflated price and pockets the difference

How else would he be able to live considering the pittance you pay him

Kaine sorry mate

The main problem with Argos is you seem to get everybody else's returns? Boxes always re-sellotaped-up, often badly packed, with bits missing or broken. The beauty of a 14 day return policy, try it and give it back.., but then nothing is actually brand new!!!!  MY12 SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ebony/Piano/Sidesteps/Privacy/Overfinch Olympus/JLR DRLs

You should drive the ship more carefully Tim  Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support!

Most of this stuff is shipped on a "just in time" basis so that the warehouses carry minimal stock (stock unsold and sitting is wasted money afterall) so they pay extra for us to burn loads of oil to get to the destination port - they aren't worried about the weather that we get on the way from China or the condition of the goods when they arrive, but by golly if we are 2 hours late after a 21 days passage there are millions of £'s to be paid by the shipping line in compensation! Remember what the gys at Solihull told about when a suppliers truck gets stuck in a traffic hold-up on the motorway and that the sports ground suddenly gets like a helcopter park because of the cost of stopping the production line........................ well we can not use the helicopter service and just have to turn up the RPM to flat out 94revs and burn 500 tonnes a day to get the goods there on time instead. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

your argos container is third from bottom right  

The guy on the chair in the foreground looks like he's having a pleasant day out........................... judging by the tracks in the sand he might have got the BMW that was in the container 3 forward of the one with Kaine's deck chairs in it! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
