Informed, professional service with no sales pressure

Professional, patient and remarkably "unpushy" service when I visited RS at Guildford to buy a more modern (better picture quality) small (only 42"!) TV to replace the 40"Philips model that I'd bought 13 tears and 1 day previously also from RS at Guildford. Tayla (the store manager I believe) was fantastic.

Speaker Purchasing Experience.

I rated my experience as excellent for the following reasons;Informed sales personnel, good advice, the opportunity to listen to a variety of different speakers without pressure to buy, fare prices. The speakers I purchased sound excellent with my system and I’m very pleased with my purchase.

Great prices and service.

Great prices and service.
I called rather than visited as I knew what I wanted. I needed a particular delivery date and couldn't seem to get that through the website. No problem whatsoever, managed to order over the phone and all taken care of.

Brilliant customer service

Due to an illness, I was not able to visit the store. I e-mailed Tayla, the store manager at the Guildford branch. We discussed options for a new HiFi online.
Tayla was absolutely brilliant, helpful and knowledgeable. She never pushed the most expensive and actually recommended a cheaper turntable with better quality.
Great service

Great responsiveness of the manager of Guildford. Suitable discount agreed for purchase of 2 top of the Sony range of tv's. The only downside was delivery was one day later than agreed and the drivers were pretty miserable.

Great help and advice.

Great advice from Tayla at the Guildford branch over recent days about my choice of 4K TV and stand. I had intended to visit to make my purchase but things prevented me and I had to order by phone instead where Dan was equally courteous and helpful. My order is now on its way and I look forward to reviewing that in due course.

Excellent customer service

Somehow Richer sounds always have such amazing staff. The team at Guildford are no different. They really care about the advice they give and are attentive on the phone and in person. I dropped in to discuss sound bars and then rang to arrange a demo. They asked which member of staff I had spoken to, to try and have them cover the demo. I then got the date wrong but they fitted me in anyway. I did not even bother checking online, just bought it there and then.

Purchased a clearance item

Wanted to purchase a clearance item from the store.
Phoned the store before travelling.
Dan placed it to one side so that when I arrived it was still available.

Needed some info about an LG Oled C series. Their website gave me all the knowledge I needed. Everything is very detailed and broken down to help viewers understand the various features.
