Praise for Argos

misterjingles

I was peeved to find that the tablet that I bough from Argos had been reduced by another £20 within a week. So I contacted Argos helpers via Twitter and cheekily asked if they could offer any reimbursement. I didn't really expect any joy but they agreed to send me a cheque for half the difference (£10.50). Nothing ventured etc etc. 😁

why did you not return it under their 14 day (or whatnot) return clause and then simply re buy it £20 cheaper ?


I suspect the £10.50 refund was to stop you doing this

Whoops! Not that good after all, a praise turns into a vent.

Already used it.. So not sure about rights.. More interested in getting them to offer a goodwill gesture

I reserved a cheap tablet but when I went in to collect it had gone up £20 so I said I didn't want it. This is covered by the reservation terms but they still decided to knock the £20 back off and I bought it.

I've always found Argos to be fair. They are not always cheapest of course but their return policy is still often the deal maker for me.

I bought something online when they were offering £10 voucher when you spend £100. I received email from argos with a code that supposed to take £10 off my next purchase. So I tried but didnt work. I contacted argos via email but no reply was received. So I never buy things online now when theres voucher to receive.

They have some excellent clearance offers on toys, at the moment. Several 'singing' songbird, penguin, owl and dinosaur toys (£2.99 to £4.99) are less than half price and I got two My Little Pony toys for £4.98, which were originally two for £15.

Not a fan but I tend to get quite a lot of Argos vouchers and I do like the way they show previous lowest prices on items. "Please note item ***** has previously been on sale at 299.99."

I thought Argos always gives you the full difference back because you could always return it and buy it again. So why did they only give you half?

Legally they don't have to refund diddly squat without the item being returned.

Because the 14 day return doesn't apply to a tablet that has been turned on and used.
