After the keyed alike mailbox incident I'm not buying another thing from
this bunch of muppets.

SWMBO did however, a self assembly work station for her new PC. Four
separate items were completely missing, unit couldn't be assembled
without
them - not talking screws or cam joints here, components specific to the
unit.

Then I worked for a lady today, installing a monoblock mixer she had
bought
from Argos. Bolts & shaped washer listed on diagram, not in the box.

As much use as a back pocket in a sock.

I don't know why people go to these places...


Presumably it is their suppliers who are letting them down as I don't
suppose Argos pack the individual items. They should get more strict with
them and impose financial penalties for failures.
At present they probably assume that just replacing a faulty item is all
that is needed to wash the problem away.

Mmm... so a possible solution is to hit them in the pocket - e.g.
compensation for costs in returning to the store.
