ARGOS F^%& UP Delivery For Nintendo DS!

SheffieldDealHunter

Argos have made a right balls of my Nintendo DS delivery. I ordered it on the 12th December and was due to be delivered on the 15th December with 3 packs of batteries. I rang the lady and asked if they were in stock just to confirm cos although the website was showing as in stock it might not have been! "Yes, there's plenty!"

Only the batteries turned up. I rang up, "Oh between the time you placed your order and the packers went to get the item, it became out of stock." Yeah right! "I will reschedule for Wednesday delivery as they are in stock now."

Wednesday came, nothing arrived. Rang on Friday "Oh sorry, it wasn't picked up at the depot. Can rearrange but it will be Monday now (today)". Fine I said.

So I rang up this morning and asked if the item was collected at depot, they said yes. Delivery turns up, wife unpacks it and its a HD cable!!!! What?!?! I rang them up again, "Oh someone must have picked up the wrong item for the order." Yes, can i just cancel this now. Oh we can't refund you until we have collected the item you have got and that wont be until 30th December.

Anyway, I agreed to drop it in store and for them to give me a refund there.

Anyone else had problems with Argos delivery?

ALSO! Does anyone know of any instore good deals on Nintendo DS or bundles for me to get my son for Xmas?

You could try Game - they seem to offer good bundles. My commiserations with your Argos problems.

Hi Shefield

I think there has been some stock issues with a few places at the time you are talking about. Between some friends and I we have had several on order from 4 different outlets. 5 of at least 7 have not been delivered due to unforseen circumstances and stock issues. All of the excuses were pretty poor but from what others have told me they have seriously underestimated demand.

I have literally just got back from large toy store called smyths in South East London. I dont know if they are nationwide but i bought 5 bundles which included ,

Pink ds lite
nintendogs game
nintendogs add on set (like case and pens and stuff)
£10 of game vouchers
Loyalty card worth £3

All for the bargain price of 122.

I also got a wii fit board for £68.

I did happen to go instore argos and they had 15 in stock for the ds and the game for £125.

Gamestation are also doing the nintendogs bundle for around £130 ish.

I hope you manage to get your issues resolved.

Merry Christmas
