PSA: Never pre-order from Argos

Mattyjw · 27 Jan 2017 at 18:32

Alright so I ordered Yakuza 0 from Arsgos on sunday it released on tuesday so even if they didn't dispatch till release I'd have it for the weekend. Teusday comes I check their website Yakuza 0 available from my local store on same day delivery good I think they'll dispatch today because they clearly have received stock... nothing, wednesday still nothing so I contact live chat and am told that it'd been sent by RM so the website must be slow to notify me.

So today no sign of Yakuza 0 yet them I get a text telling me it has only just been sent, so live chat lied and it'll more than likely be monday before it arrives. :mad:

tldr: Argos are scumbags don't preorder from them.

I've bought several things from Argos with no problems at all.

Ordered Infinite Warfare and had zero problem, turned up release day with no issues.

If your local store was that close, i'd have just picked it up from there then returned the one you ordered online when that turned up.

Complain - might get some vouchers or something.

Preordered Street Fighter V on PC from them, it turned up 5 days after release.

It was the last thing I preordered and I'm not sure why I even did it as I don't generally preorder games anymore.

Lesson learned, don't preorder and don't use Argos' delivery service.

So much wrong here I'm not even sure what you were expecting.

No reason why Argos couldn't be delivering next day delivery of PC games - in fact stuff like that they can't afford to not get right or Amazon will leave them no room in the market.

With hindsight I agree with this post wholeheartedly.
