    Argos aren't phoning everyone. Some of the telephone orders had gone too far down the fulfillment process for them to easily/efficiently recall and these are the ones that have been delivered.

    It's likely that if the package departed from the depot then it will be delivered, all others have been stopped.
  • Hi all,

    i had a call back from Trading Standards this morning saying Argos were not breaking any laws but it was very bad practice and very poor customer service and they would refer my complaint to the team that deal with large companys, the only way the would act if large numbers of complaints were recieved.

    The best advice I was given was to put my complaint in writing to argos and hope they would wwork for a resolution. It all boils down to Terms and conditions I was told. This was a different account than the one I was given last night from an advisor?

    I was most anoyed by the Cs person I spoke to who told me they had not sold any at the £79 price which is clearly not true. And E.bay is full of them this morning which just rubs salt in the wounds for my young man who was really chuffed to be able to use his xmas money for something so longed for. Im sure there are many more kids very upset by this.

    As Argos hasn't been trueful with many of us, & have broken the law in some cases, may I suggest everyone affected complains to

    It worked with the gamecube case in 2004 with Tesco & Woolworths.

    Hi. Placed order last night, with expected delivery Monday. Money has been taken from account. I'm going to have one upset little lad on my hands when he finds out as he bought this with this Xmas money!
    (Thanks Mr A would you like to tell him!?....:()
    Anyway would anyone have any good advice/quotes that I can say to them down the phone for when I get my call? (if I get a call!)

    Thanks in advance.
