A customer was left gobsmacked when Argos sent her a Ј500 'Frankensofa' with each half in a different colour - because the correct parts were 'out of stock'. 
Sara Hudgell, 26, from Swansea, ordered the charcoal Harry Right Corner Fabric Sofa from the retail giant last Monday,  and was delighted when it arrived five days later.
But the new mum's joy was short lived when her 29-year-old electrician husband Greg Hudgell tore off the wrapping and discovered each piece was a different colour.
Unwrapping the entire piece of furniture they soon discovered they'd taken delivery of the correct model, but in two different colours - charcoal and beige.

















The Ј495 charcoal corner sofa that Sara ordered came in two pieces that fit together to make a corner sofa

The new parents' sofa disappointment came just a couple of weeks after they ordered a Ј700 range oven from Argos, only for it to arrive damaged and needing to be replaced






The mum-of-one says she's now 'stuck upstairs' and forced to nurse and care for three-week-old Arthur Hudgell on her bed, as she doesn't want to mark the sofa before it's collected






After becoming displeased with the sofa and Argos' customer service, Sara swears she would never buy from them again and even cancelled the family's Argos credit cards






Sara took to Facebook to vent her frustrations after Argos failed to deliver the correct sofa and subsequently offered her Ј30 compensation

'They could collect it and we would get a refund, but the refund wouldn't be issued until five working days after it's collected.
'They said they could collect it and exchange [for another sofa] and we pay the difference, and 'in the meantime here's Ј30 for your troubles'.
'We're pretty much against the money when we have had such bad service.
'The woman we spoke to said they wouldn't issue a refund until after they collect the sofa - and it would take five working days.

It's being collected today [on Tuesday].
'We're quite lucky that someone has offered to let us buy different sofa from somewhere else and we can pay them back then once we get a refund.












People reading Sara's post were quick to see the funny side, with some even asking Argos how they could purchase their own 'Frankenstein sofa'

'We have provided a full refund for the sofa as well as an additional gesture of goodwill.

We're also arranging for the mismatched sofa, which was delivered in error, to be collected.'
Sara's Facebook post read: 'Sara's Facebook post read: 'If I don't laugh...I'll cry...
'Thanks Argos for sending our new sofa in two colours because half of it was out of stock.
'Takes 'greige' to a whole new level don't you think?!
'Offer of Ј30 compensation more than makes up for it...

NEXT JOKE PLEASE.'
