Argos - Out out of stock item

[DJM10118]

Hi All,

I have a bit of a dilemma with Argos. Basically we ordered some nursery furniture which was on sale and had an approx. 6-8 week lead-time. The full set was £400 and we have already paid half of that. The furniture was supposed to be delivered on the 01/08/15.

Argos have contacted me today to say that the item is out of stock and they do not know when the next lot will be in stock. I have a baby due in around 4 weeks, hence we ordered the furniture about 4-5 weeks ago. Obviously this has put us in a bit of a jam!


Argos have offered us an alternative but my wife hates it. Do I have any comeback with Argos to deliver the items we agreed as we have already paid some of the monies, therefore we have some kind of contract?


Thanks for your help

Hi welcome to LB,

The dilemma here is that it seems Argos do not have the goods to supply you probably not their fault
a supplier probably.
What sort of " comeback " are you looking for? With only a few days to go until the babe arrives it's difficult to see what can be done apart from a refund and perhaps a " gesture of goodwill" so you can buy what you require elsewhere.
