Thank you for your 5 star review, it’s lovely to read your comments.
The importance of face to face sales.
In today’s online world it is a welcome relief to be able to walk into a shop, see and feel the product, to chat to the staff and ask questions. The staff, particularly Paul the manager were extremely helpful but not pushy at all. I’ll definitely be returning soon to purchase some speakers.

Great advice from David at Richer Sounds Middlesbrough before purchasing a new Denon avr and Wharfedale 5.1 surround sound system
Called in on Tuesday afternoon to see the products in store
Emailed David and asked him to order the Amplifier and speakers to collect in store
Great communication from David to let me know that they’d arrived in store
Called in last Saturday morning to collect and pay
No waiting around,just great customer service
Couldn’t be happier with the choices I made,6 year’s warranty a no brainer
Thank you Richer Sounds

TV Upgrade
We were served by Paul the store manager. We went looking for a particular tv. Paul was very friendly, patient and helpful, talking us through the options and demonstrating the picture quality etc to us and this helped us to make our final decision and purchase an LG OLED TV. We have bought tvs from Richer Sounds in Middlesbrough for many years now and always find the options and competitive prices and friendly professional staff to be second to none.

Pleasing experience
Very Pleased with the service and advice, unfortunately the pedestal stand was too tall so had to change it and this was done efficiently and without hesitation by Stuart, who checked the stock and advised on an appropriate one, which has solved the problem. Please note, the Sony K55XRM2 Vesa 300X300 is not central, the 2 lower threaded hole are approx. 87mm from the base, so that was my problem. But as I stated, this was solved by Stuart. Thank you Stuart and Paul for your advice and help.

Poor repair service under warranty
Really shocking service from Richer Sounds! You need to feed this up the chain. You can deliver new tvs, you can deliver empty boxes for the customer to pack, you fail to collect and you fail to deliver loan tvs. 95 year old housebound customer without a tv for possibly weeks. Fortunately he can afford to buy a new tv to watch while the one under guarantee gets repaired. Back to John Lewis in the future!

Thank you for your feedback, I was very sorry to read of these problems. Whilst we don’t include a loan screen service as part of the free 6 year guarantee that was supplied with the TV, I completely appreciate the impact of a faulty item on someone that is housebound so we should always bend over backwards to help genuine customers in need like this; my apologies if for any reason this proved difficult when arranging things during the time the TV broke down.
I understand my colleague Paddy Hall has since been in touch with you however and arranged a refund for the faulty item, which I trust resolves the matter. Of course if I can be of any help to you whatsoever do get in touch..

Shaun went well beyond expectations with regards to customer service. Absolutely amazing experience. If all customer service was like what I experienced with Richer Sounds, life would be so much simpler. Faultless.
