    I couldn't think of a better word, perhaps fraud is a bit strong, but I also suspect that your hypothetical scenario isn't too far from the truth, either!

    It's certainly dishonest
    I'm reluctant to believe that the OP really has found a fault with the tent.
    Too much of a convenient conclusion - imho.

    How lazy do you have to be to take it back covered in soil and grass and still expect a full refund just because you changed your mind?

    Reminds me of when I worked in a clothes shop and dirty skanks would bring back clothes with sweat stains on or covered in dog hairs all because they changed their mind. Bah.
  • So this person bought the tent, set it up outside, changed their mind, packed it away dirty and expected Argos to just let them return.

    I have always found Argos very good, I have occasionally taken something back unused and have had a refund, I have taken something back geuinely faulty and they have not even checked.

    My fear is that more people like the OP will make them change their very generous policy. They don't have to have that policy, they can say you can look at it in store to check it is OK then that is that. Would not be surprised to see a pllicy change in the very near future

    That said, as OP got it by home delivery then she should have gone through that channel for the return.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare
