  • I would cancel the order. I doubt that any compensation that they will give you will be more than you can save by going elswhere.

    Yes and no. It's worked out very well for us...

    Sorry, did mean to update.

    Delivery as said. Blokes delivering couldn't have been friendlier.

    Bed all made up, solid as a rock. It's a metal framed 'cabin' bed. Couldn't believe how many damn slats I had to bolt in. And my grandson is chuffed to bits with it

    To be honest Argos have only done as they should have I suppose, but more than happy.

    Well done to get that discount. But you still probably only ended up paying the same as you could have would have elswhere, but still had poor service.
  • Actually no! We couldn’t find similar items anywhere for a price that’s even close to Argos which is why we're having to stick it out.
    The item we ordered 'disappeared' from the Argos catalogue about a month after we'd ordered. They now have the same item in the catalogue again. The price of 1 bed with mattress now, is the same as we paid for 2 beds with mattresses.
    Plus we’re getting 50% back?
    So technically we’re getting one bed free, plus the one we are paying for is at a discount of about 50% of the current catalogue price...

    Hope that makes sense!!! Lol :)

    I had same with Homebase, same company as Argos. Ordered garden furniture in store, as they didn't have it all in store. They said 4 weeks. 4 weeks later, still not in, 2 weeks later still not in. So it got cancelled!
