Slick order process

Slick order process, great promotions from both Richer Sounds and the manufacturer all clearly labelled, and most importantly, the product arrived on time and in great condition. Delivery was seamless, straight to the room for unpacking and the only challenge was getting rid of the polystyrene the telly was protected by - big telly, lots of polystyrene! Great service from Richer Sounds all around.

I ordered on line and collected the next day from the Edinburgh shop. All went very smoothly.
However, The actual unit I bought - Oakcastle DAB radio/cd - is not the best and has a design flaw: when the cd drawer is open it covers the button to close it.

Thanks for your review. I’m really pleased everything went smoothly with the order and collection from our Edinburgh store.

I’m sorry to hear about the issue with the CD drawer however. We’ll of course raise this feedback with the supplier, and we’ll also be in touch to see how we can help put things right for you.

Service at shop excellent

Service at shop excellent. Delivery, shocking!
Since the delivery however. I have received several apologies from the RS. Sale's Team, who could not have been more helpful.
The follow up calls, were namely from Paddy.
He listened carefully to the details of delivery and I felt very satisfied with his response.
I'm very pleased that I took the time to write a review and value the excellent feedback. Often in life now sadly, this is not the case.
Thank you Richer Sounds. You have elevated your customer service again to the level I expected.

I was genuinely sorry to read about the delivery aspect of your experience, especially as the service from the store colleagues left such a good impression, and offer my sincere apologies.

Having since spoken to you directly to investigate further via our customer service team, I'd like to thank you publicly for your time in allowing us to resolve this to your satisfaction and hope if you use us again you will be able to join the 98% of happy customers who review us positively on Trustpilot.

Excellent first experience

Bowie made me feel welcome in the store and spent a lot of time making sure I got the best equipment for my needs. Being able to hear the exact configuration I bought, was a brilliant experience.

Staff willing to listen and help

The salesman listened to the requirement that I needed from a tv and help me find what I was looking for although he did not know if any could do it, as the specific requirement is not even mentioned on any manufacturer's websites.

I'll be back based on this experience!

Even though I made a mistake when purchasing by choosing collection instead of home delivery, Paul from the online team and James from the Edinburgh store were super accommodating by changing my order to home delivery and it still arrived really quickly. Can't fault anything here, you can tell it's a company that cares about customer experience.
