Argos RIP thread

TheDriver

The previous chat thread #1 is closed due to some weirdness going on with the code etc so we'll continue it here.

I know this is 'chat' thread but can we keep it strictly to the items posted in the Argos Bargains thread for everyone's benefit.

Thanks

.they did says they’d had this issue with this model before and would be removing from Their website

Richer sounds have a 6 year warranty, so its in their interest not to stock any dodgy tvs, also they would take better care with delivery as they would not want it shaken so much that its more likely to fail within the 6 years. The manager of richersounds delivered my TV himself donkeys years ago, its still going with zero issues.

Nothing to do with richer sounds they have been exemplary and can’t fault them at all & don’t even think it was delivery drivers fault as box didn’t have a mark on it .The replacement tv was also an LG and this would actually had instructions not to lift by putting fingers on screen so obviously the screen is easily broken
Just a warning for anyone looking to purchase this particular model

Any idea how long it takes for Argos to deliver an item from their Ebay shop? Do the items really all ship from the UK? Got a tracking number on Monday for Fastway, but no activity on it yet.

Ordered something on Sunday of last week, and had it delivered on Thursday, so a four day turn around which I was happy with with the way things are. The box of it was broken though!

Source? This isn't true for Argos UK and their Ebay store, UK folk have to return things by post.

TV that was ordered Monday arrived today with Fastway, safe and sound.

I ordered garden furniture and got a text with a number to call to arrange a delivery. I haven't been able to get through to this number. Anyone else manage to get a response or how are deliveries being organised at the moment?

Ordered off Argos Ireland on Ebay. Package was in Fastways center for the last 5 working days. Emailed Fastway asking what the hold up was and got this little nugget back. If only I had read about Fastway before ordering now. Scandalous!

"I have investigated this shipment and it appears to have been misdirected within our Network and we haven't been able to locate. If you contact your supplier they will arrange to resend the shipment out to you."

Fastest seems to lose packages by the dozen. Someone somewhere is obviously making a mint from selling in these "lost" packages.

A sodding table.

I became very uneasy with the persons operating the Fastway franchise in my area about 12/18 months, thankfully it has since changed.

Fastway are horrendous - zero customer service and zero concern about the goods they deliver.

Funny, my wife ordered something recently (not from Argos) and it was dispatched via Fastway early last week. Their tracking hasn't updated since last Tuesday and they are not giving any sorts of update. Seems to be a very common complaint, you'd hope vendors would take customer feedback into account and use better courier companies.

ive had deliveries from fastway over the years and never had an issue

It just depends on the driver. They are franchised so some are useless and don't care. I really try and avoid them if I can. They manage ok in normal periods but they can't cope with Christmas volumes, the current situation is even busier for couriers.

I ordered from amazon about three weeks before Christmas. It was shipped with UPS ended up with Fastway Got usual amazon tracking and was marked delivered after 4 days. Several emails to UPC and Fastway. Got one automated response from fastway to say they were looking into it and should have it in 48hrs heard nothing more. UPS did at least say they were investigating. They eventually replied on 31st December to say fastway could not supply delivery confirmation and to request a refund from amazon. It had been delivered by an post on the 24th! Fastway label was still on but an post had been stuck over it.

When I mentioned it to my father in law he said the postman in their area had said a fastway courier had just left a load of parcels at the An Post post box. This is just a crossroads in a rural area!

Not Argos-related, but it is the chat thread, so... I ordered a pair of running shoes from Wiggle some time back. Got a notification that the item had been delivered, but no item. A few days later, I got a call from a pitch and putt course owner, some 6kms away, who found the Wiggle parcel thrown over his wall. He managed to contact me by ringing my work address. He was a decent sod (lucky the shoes didn't fit him

). Make sure you report bad deliveries to the sender!

Has anyone got the argos automated call in the last few days about an order with a number to call back about delivery?? I called the number but remained on hold for almost 30 minutes.

Are you expecting something from Argos? If not I'd check your phone bill

Sorry yes I'm waiting for a delivery, it's their genuine number because I looked it up on the website before ringing

Maybe the accuracy of their delivery involves 6km of wiggle room

I am having the same problem. Got several texts to ring the phone number but no answer when I try. I have made several calls at this stage so I am just assuming that the phones are no longer being staffed.

Maybe so, I got the call the last 3 mornings and tried ringing get placed in a queue. If there's no one staffing phone or email then why take the order in the first place. Plus who's pressing the button to ring me :-)

I have the same issue. Ordered from Argos and received a text asking me to call a number in order to arrange delivery. I was on hold for over 30 minutes and didn't get through them.

In the confirmation email, it says "Our home delivery team will call you by to arrange a convenient date and time for your delivery", I'm not sure why they are asking us to call an unstaffed number??

Did any one receive a call for Argos to arrange for delivery?
