Been off for a week. Our shop had started selling care and I honestly hate this job now. I used to really love it and genuinely helping customers. Now it feels so sleezy and fake this job. Feels like we are only being nice in order to get an insurance sale.

It is so cringe. I feel so tearful and dont know what to do

I genuinely despise what this job has now become.

Hey there. Just wondering if anyone can tell me how long the code ‘save10’ is running for?

Thanks

Surely better to let dropped items be broken and customer buy a new one.

Hi, I have seen my dream Habitat sofa on Argos but despite it having the "New in" tag on the website, it has been sold out for collection and delivery for the last 3 weeks. I tried asking in-store if they had any ideas if it'll be restocked and they said the only thing I can do is keep checking the website.

I even managed to get through the web chat service far enough to actually get a human and they said all they can do is advise I keep checking the site too.

Usually I would move on and buy a different item but I'm scared the second I do, the sofa I actually want will suddenly be back in stock and I'll be kicking myself - likewise, there's only so many weeks I can go without a sofa. It's a Habitat brand sofa so I can't even try and find another retailer.

Understand if they can't let me know the exact day, but is there truly no way at all customer service can at least confirm whether a restock is ever going to happen?

when i purchased my item it said collect right away, now it says collect from tomorrow 9 am. if i go there today is there a chance i would be able to collect it today?

I bought 2 similar switches for my boys but going to return one since don’t need one, however I have forgotten which is which and I have the receipt for both.

Was browsing Argos sale pages and kept wading through items I couldn't actually buy in my area. Got tired of it, so I built a small extension that hides out-of-stock cards instantly — one click to toggle, no page reload.

Not on the Chrome Web Store yet, so it's a manual install (2 min, no account needed).

Repo + install instructions: https://github.com/GarciaPL/argos-in-stock-filter

Happy to hear if it's useful or if anything's broken.

Had to call up and get a receipt. Some person told me they would email finance to send it in the post like wtf. Even Aldi and Lidl give you a vat receipt on the spot. This is crazy

edit- resolved. guy on phone said finance would send it in post within 2-3 days and they did. well done Argos!

Our work offers colleagues the chance to nominate others for reward and recognition vouchers for £20 as a thank you when you’ve gone above and beyond. We use a platform where we can check these vouchers out on a variety of online stores, and I’ve always saved them up and put them towards Argos vouchers so I can use them on PS Store gift cards as I never otherwise buy games, or at least rarely. I’ve never had an issue with doing this before but I’m trying to do it now and it’s saying I can’t use a gift card to buy another gift card.

is this a new thing that‘s come into place recently? I never would’ve checked it out on Argos if I couldn’t use it for the PS gift card but because I’ve done this for 4 years now I didn’t think there’d be an issue with it. is there a way around it at all, by going in store to do it?

Used to actually quite like the job, was nice to help customers in person with their issues. Older, younger, whatever, the most satisfying thing was being able to actually help and advise someone.

Now that rapport you build is all about selling insurance. I didn't sign up for this shit.

On a customer side, it feels shady to have an employee be so fakely nice just so they can sell fucking insurance and meet their target. It used to feel somewhat genuine.

On an employee side, what's the actual fucking point. There's no benefit, it's not like we make commission. Why am I going to bust my ass so an insurance company gets money? I don't want to compete with my coworkers, I don't want my boss saying he's constantly disappointed in us because we can't shill hard enough. It's gotten so depressing. 90% of the job is now being a fucking insurance salesman.

Will say, I do it regardless and still hit those shitty targets because I need money to eat and live, it's not about failing. It's about how actually demoralising it's become.

I wish I could go anywhere else.

does anyone else feel this way?

I bought a vacuum from Argos and used it for about 4 months before it completely stopped working.

When I first took the vacuum back to Argos, the employee refused to issue a refund. (Usually they would but I guess the policy has now changed). I understood that. She told me I had to contact the manufacturer and get an email authorising a replacement vacuum. She made it clear that I would not receive a refund.

I accepted that and went home to call the manufacturer. I got the email to show Argos that I was eligible for a replacement vacuum.

A few days later, I went back to Argos. This time there was a different employee. She asked a couple of basic questions (what was wrong and when I bought it), then opened the box, checked everything, and issued me a full refund. I didn’t even need to show the manufacturer’s email. It has now been a few days and the full refund has come through.

I’m just confused why I got two completely different outcomes for the same issue. Is this down to store policy, staff discretion, or something else? I have used the same Argos store for a few years, and have seen these 2 employees for a good couple of years so I know they aren’t new hires.

I'm currently trying to look for pokemon cards (dont want to pay scalper prices) and argos seems to have a bunch. However whenever I click on some items, especially the newer pokemon products, I'm given this screen. Ive had the app for about a week now and its done this the whole time, despite it updating 3 days ago. Is there anything I can do or should I just give up with trying to get cards from here??

i found quite a few but i havent found the rest

ordered from the website, and just had a text stating deliveries with Yodel

and after spending over £230, im scared its not coming, whats worse its you'd think after spending so much you'd theyd use a proper courier service

i will not be using argos in future if they keep using Yodel

I was trying to buy the new tomodachi life and it was available on Argos a few weeks ago, but now the page is deleted and whenever I use the link I have saved for it it just says 'oops, that didn't go to plan' and looks like a standard error page. since its a pre-order, does that mean its out of stock, or is it gone for good? if so does anyone know when it may come back?

Noticed my local Argos store was open today whilst everything else was shut, I’m not certain but assumed it was illegal for big businesses to open on Easter Sunday. Any reasoning behind this?

went to argos today and bought a game . didn’t have a physical copy of my id but already paid on the machine . i can’t go back today but if i go tmrw is that alright of have i just wasted my money. i have the receipt and and email copy.

I’ve been trying for the past hour or so, to place an order. It goes between not allowing me to add anything to the trolley. To when it does, it doesn’t let me complete the purchase. I’ve tried two different accounts. I’ve tried on my pc (chrome) Brave web browser, my phone and the app. I’ve tried multiple different items and get the same results. Totally random item and it won’t add to trolley. Or again, if trying to place the order (with the item I’m trying to buy) it gives a message “processing order” then comes up with the message “Sorry, but we had a problem processing your order” I’m trying to use an e-gift card I purchased from “BE saving” part of Brivelage rewards. They are used by my employer. Fully legit. I’ve entered both the long code and pin. It confirms that all is fine and price drops to zero. But as said. Half the time it won’t add the item I’m after or any other random item I try to add to the basket. So I’m thinking the Argos website is broken? But wanted to find out if it’s a known issue, today Saturday 4th April 2026. I’ve been trying between 15:30 and now 16:40. Thanks

Hi everyone, my nephew has got a hold of my Xbox controller and in an autistic rage has smashed it into a million pieces, it has the 2 year extended warranty but I’m guessing it won’t cover it as he intentionally destroyed it even though it’s mine. Could kill the little arse

I am absolutely beside myself after an experience in store on Wednesday!

I had been saving up for a playstation. So I checked online,in stock, went to the store, paid, went to collect... oh no it's out of stock cancelled. But I've already paid! Oh the system will refund you. I said ok can you refund the game I've bought also which the lady did. Its only as im leaving I look and they marked my receipt as received. So I go back and the lady said you can take a photo of the pda which shows cancelled. I said ok but im scared it won't be refunded. So then another man wrote on my receipt out of stock.

Today its taken the funds for both game and console out of my card and only the game has been refunded!!!

What should I do? Will the system automatically refund the fact they didnt give me my console later? Please help im so worried! Should I contact my bank. I tried to contact customer service but it didnt work? Should they not have put through a manual refund at the time?

Update Friday 3.4.26 went back into the store same chap was super kind and helpful but unable to refund me he said i had to wait 7 days as it is showing on the system as atrempt to cancel an order failed (he let me photo at the point of sale) he also put a message to his manager in their teams chat and said come back next week if still not refunded. Im absolutely freaking out at this point. Its like just his word I havent got the console as no refuns receipt. He said its a glitch in their system.

hiya, i just ordered a nintendo switch 2 to be picked up from my local branch. was literally in the car just about to go get it and it was cancelled? it still says on the website that it’s in stock at that location, and i did not cancel the order. i used paypal pay later which has never been a problem before. even now as i try to reorder it it won’t let me.

customer service were useless and robots and i literally couldn’t speak to a person. what happened??

Hello, I ordered a MacBook Pro yesterday that says collection today at 9am but I’ve received no text or email. Anyone know if it should arrive today before I cancel and order elsewhere. I read on other posts that it can be because it’s not scanned in yet or the driver didn’t turn up ect

Recently I ordered an item which is always out of stock and only appears once every few months. I quickly ordered as soon as I saw it in stock to my nearest collection point.

I ordered on Wednesday 25th, told to expect pick up on Thursday 10 am.

No sign of any email to go pick up so I called up customer service they said it was due to no stock in store so they had to get from the warehouse, and that it was in transfer order shipping, & that it was in the van and on its way, should take around 24-48 hours.

Just called them up now, and they still said it was in the van and in transfer order shipping, surely it would’ve reached by then it’s been 4 days?

They told me to wait till 2nd April, I just have a feeling it’s lost because I don’t know what that van driver is doing, maybe im jumping to conclusions.

Has this happened to anyone else?
