Welcome to Argos. Update on the update.

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/StaticDisplay/includeName/AboutArgos.htm#corp   Argos     Success! Following the post of yesterday, there was an exchange of comments with “Argos Helpers”, which, initially, caused some concern. Hi John, I am very sorry for the problems that you have experienced with your order. I have just spoken with the courier and your cooker is out for delivery today and the driver will contact you before he delivers. Charlotte John Yates. We are just leaving for a hospital appointment. He can deliver and install tomorrow or late this afternoon. (after 3:00pm). Please confirm Argos. Your delivery is the fourth drop of the day so hopefully this may be after 3pm but Argos.

Argos responded with an e-mail within a few minutes, acknowledging receipt of the order and confirming receipt of payment. Their e-mail also stated that they would contact us by Thursday 3 July 2014 to arrange a convenient date and time for delivery and installation.

During a call earlier this week, just to check on any progress, I was advised that the delivery/installation people would ring me no later than Thursday or Friday of this week to arrange a date. Yesterday, Friday 4t...
