Great price, product and service

I ordered a new tv online, at a great price, to collect at the southgate store.

Staff were great, especially Mak who helped me load an oversized screen into an undersized car!

Amazing customer service !!

We wanted to upgrade our tv experience and on receiving an email with offers we went to the Southgate store to seek guidance on our possible purchase. We spoke to Dan who gave his informed opinion and we purchased a LG TV + soundbar. What sets Richer Sounds apart is the after sales service, so Im not a techie and struggled with the set up, but I called the store spoke to Dan a couple of times and the installation was completed. Many thanks !!

Easily the best place to buy a TV

I called the telesales phone number and was put through to the Southgate store. Steve answered quickly and was knowledgeable about the TV I was after. He promptly found the credit on my account from a previous warranty claim and this was applied without issue. My TV was with me the next day. Fantastic service and I wouldn't go anywhere else for a TV!

Outstanding service from Dan at the Southgate Branch

Dan in the Southgate Branch was exceptional. Knowledgable, polite and genuine. Made my purchase quick and easy. Absolutely loved the experience with Dan, and for sure, I will be popping back to see him on my next purchase!

I recently bought a TV from Richer Sounds in Southgate and had a very good experience. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and professional throughout. They took the time to answer my questions, explained the options clearly and helped me choose the right TV without any pressure.

The whole process was smooth and pleasant, and I felt well looked after as a customer. It is great to receive this level of personal service.

Highly recommend Richer Sounds Southgate, especially for their friendly and helpful team.

we spoke to your employee at Southgate re a new stylus , he said they had them in stock and would put one aside for when my wife called in. Due to parking problems on the day , I dropped my wife off at your store , the stylus was there for her and was shown how to fit it. Great service and price.

Amazing store with very knowledgeable staff, two people who stand out are Dan and Mac.
I spoke with Dan on the phone and he explained everything I needed to know about the tv I needed.
When I visited the store in Southgate I was greeted by Mac who was very helpful and went over and beyond to help me.
I explained I’d already spoken with his colleague and knew what I wanted.
Mac arranged for delivery the following day!
I would highly recommend this store.

Staff helpful

Staff helpful - but IT can be complicated -! We both ended up reading the website - which I had already read before I entered the store. Having said that it is much better to buy in store than on line to make sure that you get what you want

Swapped the wrong product with no problems

My elderly father bought a TV and when he got it home, he realised it was too small. The Southgate store couldn't have been more helpful and kind. They immediately helped him choose the right size and refunded the first one. With no complaints and all smiles. Couldn't recommend them more highly.

Knowledgeable staff

Knowledgeable staff, not pushy, willing to listen to customer. Have had 2 visits, spoke to different staff on both occasions, both very amenable. A pleasure to buy from. Well done.

Well informed staff and brilliant advice

Went in to collect my new separates. The guy that served my and got all the boxes out of the store room and commented on my Amp choice. A discussion ensued and i ended up with a much better amp for a very good price. Very pleased with the experience. A great place to go for a HiFi novice.

Easy to find the item

Easy to find the item. Price was fair. Plenty of options (in store, home delivery, delivery to store, etc etc), and the one I chose (delivery to store) worked out fine.
Fun fact - I got my first 'hi-fi' as a present from my Dad in about 1982, and I clearly remember going to Richer Sounds to get it. London Bridge, maybe? Dual CS505-1 (long gone, replaced with a couple of Technics 1210s, also from RS, I think), NAD 3020 (nicked in the 90s when our flat was broken into), KEF Coda 2s (my daughter still has them).
