Richer Sounds online would not accept my payment. It declined two separate cards. I phoned customer services and the guy who answered was VERY helpful. I eventually paid by bank transfer.

helpful, knowledgeable staff

We would give 5 stars to the staff at Richer sounds, Chelsea. They were patient, knowledgeable and really helpful. Except when it came to delivery and set up of TV. The staff were not really sure about how much we would be charged. We were left with the impression that it would amount to the same sort of price that John Lewis charge.
Our issues with outsourcing delivery and setup were three fold:
The gentleman meant to set up our TV did not contact us for well over 2 weeks.
The set up charges were far more expensieve than John Lewis.
We have been left with packaging for a 55'' TV with a proviso that we need to store it for a month in case the TV proves defective and needs to be returned to the store!

I was of course very sorry to read that following a positive experience with the Chelsea branch team, there were some issues that caused you inconvenience.

As we only work with professional TV and Cinema installers this does generally mean a higher cost than a delivery courier for example, who conduct a very basic desktop setup, will charge. After trialling this in the past, with disappointing feedback, we now solely use such professional installers who are able to answer questions on the technical products as well as expertly guide you through use before leaving. I'm sorry that the branch team didn't explain this clearly, and also were not definitive on the cost, which although can vary job to job, will have a framework they can explain to customers and which I will review with them.

I'm also sorry however that the installer given the work took far too long to contact you and will of course investigate why this was with them, if there was no documented problem we were aware of we will explain that this is unacceptable for our customers. Please do dispose of the packaging if it is inconvenient to keep it, and in the event of a problem we will supply any box necessary.

Should you wish to discuss any of these issues further of course, please do get in touch via the below..

Not the best experience

I ordered the speakers on the 12th and it seems to me that the customer isn't so important anymore, past orders have usually been a lot better than this one as I didn't receive the product until the 17th and had no message the night before telling me I was getting a delivery the next day, also the person I spoke with when I ordered didn't really tell me about all the drawbacks of the product like Bluetooth not working properly and although the speakers work fine with CD Computer and streaming devices they are a world of trouble with Bluetooth so my overall experience hasn't been that great, not what I expect from Richer sounds who I have always trusted to give me good advice, not this time

Excellent service

Excellent service - very helpful staff and really quick delivery - was expecting a week or so but the person I spoke with managed a next day delivery. Also can't beat the Richer Sounds 6 year warranty!

Advice and supply of banana plugs for connecting speakers

Super helpful, clear and friendly, immediately realised what I needed. When I didn’t call in for the plugs yesterday as expected Josh had them ready and waiting for me today.

Helpful, friendly staff.

Everyone I spoke to was polite and helpful. My television was 5 years old and they were unable to repair it, I had a 6 year guarantee so they gave me money off a new television. I was kept up to date with the delivery date and time.

Get right products for you.

Was going to buy a turntable that had great reviews over all major platforms. But I wanted to hear before buying, chap set up another turntable to compare and to be honest his choice was much better than my choice when listening to both turntables and I was grateful for his expert advice,so the point being listen before buying instead of taking views of major platforms

Amazing team and customer experience

The teams overall support at the store was incredible. The new manager was very helpful and they price match another offer from a competitor and setup a demo without a prior appointment. But the most important part was the service of the team. They even delivered my speakers personally the next morning is I could get them faster. I’d shop at this location again.

Very patient!

On a previous visit the staff were very patient in demonstrating a number of different speakers for me. When I eventually returned to make a purchase they offered me a good deal.

Happy to support a company that offers good service and has physical shops.
