We can hope to expect everything to be perfect, but it's not always the case. I'd bought a new TV about 8 months ago, which started getting issues after a short while. Richer Sounds staff guided me through the full process of repair. I'd had a repair and it unfortunately didn't solve the issue. Again, these things can happen. Flawless service and assistance from the staff, and I've had the TV replaced with what I can only describe as amazing. The other TV itself, isn't bad for specs, just an issue that can arise, like many products we buy.

I've been buying from Richer sounds since my grandad recommended then, he always bought from there from day one of the Newcastle store opening, I've been going there for 25+ years, too. And I'll keep buying there when I need what they sell. The staff are knowledgeable without the arrogance I've come across in many other hifi stores. Euan, you're a star. And the other staff I'd spoken to, apologies, I've forgotten your names, but you all excel at what you do. Well done lads.

I do miss the paper leaflets with all the current offers though. Man, you guys offer some serious bargains over the years. The mordant short Avant 5.1 was hands down the best purchase I ever got there. Had that set over 14 years.

Great Service

Ordered over the phone as was in Newcastle and able to pick up from the store there.

Great service but so disappointing Richer Sounds no longer delivering to the Channel Islands. Got my whole sound system from you guys, albeit 10yrs ago. God, I hate brexit!

Great service as always

As always, a great experience shopping from Richer Sounds. I purchased a BenQ TX710 and cannot fault it, so easily set up, finding the 4 corner keystone extremely useful, the image is tight in the masking for the first time ever and the picture quality, only WOW fits with that.

Takes a good while to get through to speak to someone but once you do, they couldn't be more helpful.

Thank you for your review, and kind comments about Euan which we will of course pass on to him. It's disappointing that you didn't find that service amongst all of the team and along with the branch manager I will discuss your comments with them so that they can learn from them.

Should you need any help in the meantime of course, do get in touch via the below..

Just popped in for some speaker cables and advice. As usual you always get a warm welcome and lots of friendly chat from the guys working there. Got what I needed at a great price and also advice as to where to get my record player serviced.
Brilliant customer service as always. This store is always 5stars

An old customers experience .

Dealt with Richer Sounds some 12 years ago & was pleasantly surprised that they still had my details on file when I ordered a new CD player recently . Courteous service in successfully trying out a CD that my old Denon player could not read on a Marantz unit .
The new Marantz player arrived on time . The packaging was substantial & kept the unit in excellent condition .Well Done

Superb service and advice

We purchased a new turntable and cd player from your Newcastle store over the telephone and cannot speak highly enough of the young man we spoke to.
He was friendly, professional, and answered all our questions - nothing was too much trouble for him (even though at the time of purchase he had only been there a week!)
We highly recommend Richer Sounds Newcastle and will definitely be using them for future purchases.

If all companies were like richer…

If all companies were like richer sounds, life would be easier and friendlier. I bought a new amp and speakers and had some issues with the people who made the amp. I contacted Richer sounds after the manufacturer decided didn’t help ,they troubleshoot with emails, and when I still couldn’t resolve it and explained I was disabled and that it would be tricky to bring large floorstanding speakers in , they actually came out, double-checked my connections and now it sounds beautiful. They were able to tell me in two minutes something the manufacturers didn’t.
So, you get the best price, long guarantee and customer service who not only know what they are doing but really do help. I’ve been buying equipment from Richer sounds for years and will continue to do so. Thank you very much Newcastle store.
