Extremely helpful staff

Extremely helpful staff especially Mandy. Made sure that I was aware of any promotions etc. that the manufacturers were having. I won’t shop anywhere else for TVs etc. especially as the founder of Richer Sounds has let the staff share directly in its success by giving them shares in the company. Result is highly motivated and committed team members.

damaged product

whilst delivery was rapid, product was damaged - obviously so from the packaging, and the delivery driver just gave it to the first person he saw - a builder working on my house. I was inside.

the return procedure was convoluted and time consuming & requiring multiple photographs, emails, whatsapp & phonecalls. very frustrating.

It was most concerning for me to read about your experience and I offer my sincere apologies.

Having reviewed the delivery information, the condition of the packaging should have been apparent before the item was handed over, so we'll be raising this with DPD directly. They should have made us aware of the damage so that we could have contacted you before delivery and avoided the obvious disappointment that followed.

I'm also concerned to read your comments about our own returns process. Whilst there are inevitably a few checks required when dealing with damaged goods, it sounds as though the process was far more time-consuming than it should have been, and we should always aim to keep any additional inconvenience to an absolute minimum. I will be reviewing what happened with the store involved to understand why the matter wasn't handled more efficiently and address any training needs identified.

In the meantime, a member of my team will be in touch to ensure this is brought to a satisfactory conclusion. However, if I can be of any assistance personally, please feel free to contact me directly.

Beginner

I'm a beginner to all things HiFi so l found the advice making my purchase very helpful and informative. Bought a new Wiim Pro for streaming through my amp, and some good quality leads for my speakers, laptop and turntable. Very pleased with the purchase, price and advice. Thank you.

Real people in real shops selling real hi fi

I knew what I wanted, so I expected an easy conversation.
My phone call was quickly rewarded with a human voice in my local store who listened to my needs, checked stock and made sure that I had the necessary cables and stands. Local stock was not available so I was made aware of my collection or delivery options. The items arrived earlier than expected. No fuss or complications, real humans, real shops, pleasurable shopping, excellent hi fi.

Thanks for leaving us a 5* review. It really does make the hard work we put into customer service worthwhile.

Great service!

Once again Richer Sounds came up trumps. Nick was able to source us the tv we wanted (which we couldn’t get anywhere else) for next day delivery. He wa# also super knowledgeable about how to set up the tv within a media wall and access all the necessary services.

Absolutely outstanding!

It's extremely rare to find service like these guys provide in this day and age but they nailed it. They have a real old school approach to everything which just works. They help, advise and genuinely make you feel valued and appreciated as a customer rather than just a tick on a sales sheet like most do nowadays!

I won't hesitate to use them again for any kit that I want or need in the future. Thanks RS and especially to the guys at the Cheltenham branch for not only a flawless experience, but for restoring my faith in humanity somewhat!
