Return of non-faulty item.

I think I know the answer to this but I bought some clippers from Argos today and have used them once. While they're not faulty, they're absolutely awful so I'm here to ask if there's any chance of me being able to return them at all?  Thanks.

    In what way are they "awful"?

    Argos pretty good at just taking stuff back and refunding.
    Keep in your thoughts the poor Beasts of burden around the World and curse All who do them harm.

    Only if they are unused, otherwise it's a lottery.

    Personal grooming items are normally excluded for hygiene reasons.

    Proving they are not fit for purpose is going to be a challenge.

    Have you actually checked the Argos Ts and Cs ?

    Yes and it doesn't look good if they've been opend and used.

    My hair is quite thin and there are parts of it that they don't cut - they just go over the top.

    I think argos might point out the issue is with your hair/head not the clippers - but you can always try - see what they say.

    As others have said sometimes argos can be ok, but if you go in with a "demanding s refund" attitude it may just wind them up.
