Refund dispute guidance for Argos purchases

Argos Refusing Your Refund

If Argos refuses your refund, replacement, or return request, you may still have consumer rights depending on the reason for the dispute and whether the goods are faulty, not as described, or not fit for purpose.

Why Argos may refuse a refund

Argos may refuse a refund if it believes the item was returned outside its returns window, the goods are not faulty, the item has been used, or the problem is being treated as a standard return rather than a consumer rights issue.

Disputes can also happen where Argos offers a repair or replacement instead of a refund, or where staff say the issue must be taken up with the manufacturer rather than the retailer.

What you can do next

Check why it was refused

Make sure you understand whether Argos is relying on store policy or disputing your legal rights.

Gather your evidence

Keep receipts, order details, photos, and messages that show the fault or explain the issue clearly.

Escalate if necessary

If Argos still refuses to resolve the issue, you may need to escalate the complaint formally.
