    Did you read the Argos page ??

    You may receive a different brand named item of the same specification

    The one I ordered has 2 shelves mine only has one. (In the picture that is)

    The difference being is mine was full price and I recieved one I could of paid less for. If I wanted the one on sale id of paid for the one on sale, I didnt see it at the time.

    The driver was just moody, when I placed the order I edited my phone number and asked for a 10-2pm delivery, I checked the night before and it was down as a 9-12 delivery and when he turned up he had ago at me for having the old phone number on, which didn't work. Someone saw me edit it when ordering so I deffinetly changed it.

    Cant see the differences well cos the descriptions are about different specs

    What I got...

    • Single oven.
    • Easy clean interior.

    Main oven:
    • Main oven energy efficiency rating B.

    So the only diff I can see is the Plate hob quality. The shelfs. double glazed window??

    Oh yes and the one I recieved the door handle isnt great. I know you get what you pay for but...you know :/

    I honestly think they just packed the wrong one, why would the beko cooker have a flavel sticker and specs on?

    I can understand why you're upset but you do have options available to you. Call them to negotiate the price difference or ask them to issue a refund under your DSA entitlement and order the Flavel again with the £30 voucher applied or order the one you've currently got at its marked price.

    I honestly think they just packed the wrong one, why would the beko cooker have a flavel sticker and specs on?Because they are the same item churned out in the same factory but with different stickers put on them.
    I believe you got the cooker you ordered but under a different brand name which was as stated on the product description. You have the right to return under the DSR's and re-order the silver one if you wish or speak to them and ask for a £30 refund.

    The silver one is out of stock anyway.

    Thanks for your help, Ive spoken to them, they were really confused how a cooker they dont have on the system was delivered, they had plenty of the ones I ordered in, so they offered me the difference (to the one I ordered and the silver one) to keep what I have so I agreed. Very happy with argos :)
