Received excellent advice as to what product we should buy. The staff were very helpful with regard to setting up the television when I got stuck. Would highly recommend.

Great service. As always!

I called with a question about my turntable which wasn’t working correctly, my call was handled quickly and politely when they asked me to take it to the shop for testing. Once I had done that I received a call to say it would need to be returned to the manufacturer, and was advised it was still under warranty, plus the expected timescale. Fantastic service as always! The team are so knowledgeable and it’s easy to the trust them. So important. Thank you.

Wouldn't dream of going anywhere…

I bought my first Hi-Fi system from Richer Sounds Stockport over 40 years ago - was once served by a young man called Julian (wonder what happened to him?!). So when it came to getting a new system I didn't consider anywhere else.
As always, the Richer Sounds team were great - Pat at Cheltenham was well-informed, patient and immensely helpful. I came away with a new Yamaha amp and a new Argon turntable, and the sound quality is excellent. However, totally thanks to Pat I also bought a little 'We Are Rewind' cassette player, which is fantastic. Not only am I really enjoying all my vinyls again, I've also had great fun finding my old cassettes and listening to them.
Thank you Pat, and thank you Richer Sounds.

Caravan Tv

Richard was very helpful in deciding what tv to purchase giving benefit from his experience. Its a pity that more smaller tv's were not on display to view (we don't always want to buy a 65" tv). I have bought several tv's from Richer Sounds in the past and find their knowledge very helpful. A very easy and pleasant transaction.

Efficient and professional staff

Efficient and professional staff. After I enquired about a certain television they called within a couple of days to say that they had moved it from the warehouse to the shop. Went in to look at it, and after I had bought it the chap kindly lifted it into my boot once I had pulled the car round.

Outstanding customer service as standard

While outstanding customer service is simply a standard norm at Richer Sounds, it still deserves a 5-star mention.

Literally buying a cheapest-of-the-cheap TV for a small space in my mum's kitchen, so I went in knowing exactly what was required. It was all processed with total professionalism and dealt with perfectly with no upselling attempts.

As usual, I will surely be back soon when I am spending many hundreds (or more, shhh!) on a much-bigger spec TV.

10/10, 100%, A+, Platinum Trophy, or any other scoring metric you wish to use, RS remain top dog!

Great service from Mandy

We were helped by Mandy today . She was knowledgeable, patient and explained everything so we could understand what we were wanting to buy .
Along with all of the above she was delightful . So much better to buy from someone who knows their stuff than online .

Excellent customer service and technical knowledge

Over the past 6 months we’ve purchased both a 65” LED Sony TV and Hifi separates to replace our existing home cinema sound system. Jason was so helpful with excellent customer service and technical knowledge.

Go To the Experts

All the relevant questions were answered allowing me to make my mind up on the product to purchase. Shop was a little noisy with people talking over each other and a television going, however I felt happy that I had received the advice needed and was happy to purchase the product. It was delivered swiftly, well packed and on time.

Thanks very much for taking the time to leave your review, I’m really pleased to hear that the Cheltenham team were able to answer all the right questions and help you feel confident in your choice.

I am sorry to hear the shop felt a little noisy during your visit however, but I’m glad this didn’t detract from the advice you received or your overall experience. I will of course mention it to the branch so they can keep an eye on things.

Thanks again for choosing Richer Sounds, and we hope to see you again in the future.

Excellent all around - online and in-store

Delivery was extremely prompt, within a day of the one-week window. The products themselves are of the highest quality. In-store support was excellent. The VIP member prices and other benefits are gratefully received and encourage loyalty from me, who is likely to want to return for inevitable upgrades, repairs and advice for my home audio system.
