I contacted Richer Sounds Romford back…

I contacted Richer Sounds Romford back in March to ask about price matching. They responded promptly, which I appreciated, and explained they couldn’t match the offer on a 55-inch TCL TV because the other retailer only provided a 2-year warranty, whereas Richer Sounds includes a 6-year warranty. That’s a fair and reasonable point.
I then asked whether there were any offers available for the larger 65-inch version. Initially, I didn’t receive a response, but after chasing, they confirmed there were no special deals.
Based on that, I decided to go ahead with the 55-inch model and emailed again to ask how to proceed with placing the order. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive any reply. While I can understand missing one email due to being busy, it happened again at the point where I was ready to make a purchase.
What makes this more frustrating is their automated response proudly states they will reply within 24 hours. In my experience, that simply wasn’t the case. If this is something they can’t consistently deliver, it shouldn’t be stated so confidently.
Overall, the initial response was helpful and fair, but the lack of follow-up when I was actively trying to buy gives the impression of poor communication and lack of customer care.
In the end, I placed the order through their website myself. While the product offering and warranty are strong, the experience made me question the value of contacting the store at all, as it felt like meaningful customer interaction was lacking.

Thank you for your feedback, although I was genuinely concerned to read it. I agree that the level of communication described falls well below what we'd expect and understand you're frustration of course.

We will investigate with the store as to why you didn't receive proper replies, follow ups and engagement with your enquiries, as well as contact you directly to apologise in person, and put this right.

I’ve got to say that every time I shop at literally any store in London, the service the knowledge and the friendly experience I have received from the staff is always exceptional. No hard sell like you get from other large supermarket retailers with little or no knowledge.
Many thanks all.

TV FreeSat Knowledge

Knowledge by the store manager/assistant of FreeSat meant that we were able to identify a TV that met all my requirements, was in stock and was value for money.

Great all round experience

The Richer team could not have been more pleasant to deal with - very knowledgeable and helpful. I would definitely recommend anybody thinking of buying a quality HIFI system go to Richer Sounds - lots of choice at various price points.

Time to replace the old gear.

I knew my old system was on the way out, so I've been preparing for a sizeable spent. I phoned up the Romford branch and spoke to Dave, the assistant manager. I had previously spoken to a sound/tv engineer, Wasif, who had given me ideas of what I may need. Dave and I discussed my need for a Denon AC Receiver, Magnetar Universal disc player and a 55" TV. I managed to order all three items, although I had to pay extra for the Universal disc player's 6 years warranty but considered it essential. Great price on the LG TV and because I was buying several, fairly expensive items, I received an additional discount. So fortunately, all came in just under budget. Free excellent delivery by Furdeco was as agreed and coincidentally, Wasif was in the shop when I rang, so I spoke to him and he installed everything the day after delivery. Delighted!

Excellent Service

Excellent Service. My initial contact was with Ash who was knowledgeable and helpful. When I called back to confirm my purchase Ash was not in so I spoke with Steve who was brilliant as always. Although I am no where near Romford it’s my “go to” store.
