Does anyone know how to do an Argos product review?

I find reviews are very handy and when I buy a good or bad product feel it right to do likewise.

However I don't see any option to be able to do this on the argos web site or http://reviews.argos.co.uk/1493-en_gb/allreviews.htm which just gives you the reviews...

I've emailed Argos asking this question 3 weeks ago no response.

I've tried registering...

Thanks in advance.

You can't. I emailed and asked too.

It appears that you need to be invited to review an item you have reserved or purchased.

XD just thought I'd ring them up

The number on the reservation email has the wrong number

You are correct the do it randomly from those who've reserved or purchased online. They are looking to extend it, but because of the volume of people who purchase they're worried it might "overload the system".

Hmmm

Trouble is people only tend to 'bother' to review when they are very unhappy or sometime very happy with an item ,that would give a very unbalanced view ,so Argos's policy of inviting reviews from people who have reserved and gone on to purchase an item gives a more random and balanced view as it may spur people into leaving a review even if they have had a lukewarm experience of that item.

If it's lukewarm though by that same logic people wont bother taking the time to complete it anyway. (Unless they threw in an incentive, prize draw etc).

And do people want luke warm reviews? When I'm looking, I'm only interested in the extremes.

"It's okay" is as useful as a chocolate teapot.

I was invited to review a vacuum cleaner I bought. I lambasted it so bad because of what I considered poor value, the review never appeared on their website with other reviews. They select only the good and 'middle' reviews. You have to ask yourself if they have put up all the reviews for that product, or just the ones that aren't bad.

I recently bought an oven from Argos which wasn't good quality and so I complained to Argos and I asked when I would be invited to write a review on their website and they said I wont be able to.

I think there is some control of what gets published on their website but to be honest its not just Argos, they all do it.

Whilst on the subject of Argos, what a rip off this 'spend £50 get £5 and spend £100 get £10' offer is, they've just bumped the prices up!
