Argos Roller Blind too small!

I bought a Roller blind from Argos to hang on the back door.

In the catalogue it says the blind is 2ft wide, which is enough to cover the window.

When I opened it, the actual blind is only 22.5ins, so there is gap either side. I was under the impression the actual blind would be 2ft, which is why I bought it. The next size up is 3ft and that is way too big and I would end up having to cut loads off.

Not happy with Argos at all, it's going back tomorrow.

The catalogue number is 926/5310. I know it's only £7.99, but I would have expected it to be the size it says! :mad:

    the measurement probably takes the fittings into account

    Yes, that could be the case and realise that now, but it doesn't say this in the product details.

    Does anyone know if you can return an Argos item to a different branch from where it was bought?
