Apologies, I need to vent some spleen. WHY do I bother ordering from Argos? It's always either broken or the wrong thing. Ordered some heated curlers a couple of days ago and was prepared to wait in all day as per the delivery instructions. It arrived at 9.20 - hurrah! Except, someone at the Argos warehouse thinks that a pack of manky curtain hooks looks like heated rollers?? :mad: Anyway, I know I coulda got a refund, but decided to wait it out another two days to get re-delivered on Friday. I wrote them though, and said I'd 'eat my face before I ordered from them again'. Yikes, I better stick to it this time, the stakes are high! Oof. Oh yeah, then I told them I was going to tell everyone at MSE! lol. That'll have 'em quaking. In conclusion - do yerself a favour and think twice about Argos - it may be cheap, but it's usually rubbish.
BTD - needing sympathy, please.

you know you can exchange good in the store save waiting in another day?

Yeah, I guess I could have - but I thought Argos Extra items (which it was) aren't always available in store - this item came up as 'order it' when I went into the shop initially, which is why I decided to order online... oh well, the rollers came eventually, and they're fine. Sticking by my resolution not to go back to Argos though!
