A 'Sterling' experience!

Barry approached us when we came into his department to look for a sofa and chair, but he wasn't pushy, unlike sales people in other shops, which had annoyed us. He left us to browse and when we had decided what we wanted to buy he was very helpful with advice and information and concluded the sale in a pleasant manner. A very enjoyable shopping experience at Sterling.

Very happy bed purchase

Our bed purchase went very smooth with the help of Evija Rube. Evija has a lovely quiet helpful manner and was able to answer all our questions. She is extremely knowledgeable about the products being sold. Even when we changed our mind and returned to the bed department, Evija greeted us with kindness and care ensuring the change we asked for went smoothly. Evija is a credit to Sterling Home.

Staff very helpful

Staff very helpful. What always reduces your score is all the add ons! You know a customer cannot pick up a sofa and requires delivery so include this cost in your pricing of the product! You mis represent the cost then add a disgusting delivery charge on to the price! Not impressed

Hi Lynn

We're pleased to hear that you found our staff helpful, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns regarding our pricing and delivery charges.

We understand your frustration and are sorry that the additional delivery cost left you feeling disappointed. We aim to be as transparent as possible with our pricing, but we appreciate that delivery is an essential part of purchasing larger items such as sofas and that these charges can have a significant impact on the overall cost.

Your comments have been noted and will be shared with the relevant team as we continually review how we present our pricing and delivery information to customers.

Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing us, we really appreciate your support.

Fault in Leather of new chair

I am really sad to write this. Previously excellent customer service but on this occasion extremely poor. Been left with faulty chair, all agreed visible flaw/mark on chair. We are having to pursue full refund through legal processes. All we want is our money back now but this is not forthcoming. Advice is do not buy from Sterling, as if there is an issue we have found the whole process difficult and stressful. Really disappointed as my previous experience was excellent.

We will continue to support you in line with our processes. Our team remains available to answer any questions you may have and to discuss the matter further.
