Friendly, helpful, good prices

Everyone at Richer Sounds is so friendly, normal, helpful - it’s a really good shopping experience, even on the phone. They know their stuff! Received a surprise pack of cables too which was very welcome, really makes a difference. Thanks Richer Sounds - I wouldn’t go elsewhere now. Prices are good too - I got a real bargain on my new Denon Hi-Fi!

Return and refund policy

Bought Wiim mini in store for £99, unpacked and tried it at home, but found it didn't fulfill my expectations. Returned it to the shop in original packaging within 48 hours. Despite my admission it had been unpacked and used, I received a full immediate refund with no quibble. As always, excellent customer service!

Very helpful chap in Glasgow

Very helpful chap in Glasgow explained the clearance product and gave me a very accurate description of its condition.

Once I got it I realised I needed a sat dish upgrade to get 4 channel instead of 2 channel recording, which will cost more but I will organise.

Tom and the team stepped in

Tom and the team stepped in around the CA Yoyo recall issue and went the extra mile to resolve as well as securing a similar response from the manufacturer
Altogether a very good outcome from a tricky unavoidable situation

Incomparable service with a smile.

The service at Richer Sounds has always been head and shoulders above that of other retailers. Having recently bought quite a humble television which we failed to set up, we've had two visits from Stuart who showed great patience and approachability in the face of our incompetence and launched us successfully into the world of digital TV.

Great Service

I booked a time to listen to the machine I was considering buying. It was all set up and having been given operating instructions, I was left to listen to what I wanted. I wasn’t rushed. I bought it😀

Excellent service and advice from Bromley branch.

Ordered the TV via the Bromley branch. The manager, Matt, together with Jerome and Paul, were excellent.
The TV was delivered by a 2 man TV, which arrived on the date/time specified.
I have reffered Richer Sounds to family & friends.

Ordering over the phone was easy

Ordering over the phone was easy, payment easy, delivery was quick but unfortunately was package was wrongly addressed. Fortunately I retrieved it but as this was the 3rd thing I’d ordered it was disappointing the address was wrong this time.

Thank you for your review and for your continued custom, for which we are very grateful.

We are however extremely sorry for the hassle caused by the address issue and will make sure the sales team get in touch to find out what caused the problem, and rectify it for any future orders.

Many thanks,

Very helpful with advice and demonstrating the products on show. Not so good when it comes to giving a fair trade in price despite the advertised trade up and save. I got a much better deal at a rival company.
