Lloyd at Watford Richer Sounds was absolutely brilliant, replied to my messages immediately and sorted out exactly what I needed at a great price! The Marantz Cinema 60 is also a fantastic product.

The staff listened to my queries and helped me make the decision to go for the TV I had in mind - Then managed to get the Tv and Cables required delivered the next day - Super happy with my purchase and the service I received from the staff at the store.

Great TV, great service, outstanding price

Needed a 32 inch TV quickly to replace our 14 year old Panasonic whose power board is beyond economic repair.

Richer Sounds had its modern descendant. Originally £249, they had an "open box" one for £149, down to £127 with "VIP member discount."

Phoned the branch to see if it was still in stock. Lloyd reserved it, sent me a link to pay there and then, and I collected it the next day from two very friendly staff.

Excellent TV at a bargain price with outstandingly helpful and friendly service.

This is why I use Richer Sounds all the time.

Pros & Cons

Matching the deal that was on your site at the time I wanted to buy but which you had overlooked.

What is the point of being a VIP if you don't get the £10 off that you say you will?

Your 6 year guarantee should be made clearer in that it is a proportional discount dependant on the number of years use. This is not the same as a replacement if it cannot be repaired.

Your delivery service is quick but should be done with a smile even though they are probably overworked!
Amazon offer a Free Unpack/Set Up/Take Away Service but no Guarantee.

What customer service should be

Over the years I've purchased from richer sounds a number of times and never been disappointed with the service levels. On this occasion at the Watford store I've got to say the customer service level has been exceptional. From the first point of contact on the phone in the morning to the shop visit to pick up in the afternoon it truly felt that giving the best service possible to the customer really mattered. Well done and thank you.

Very calm, no fuss, just pure professionalism.

Telesales was helpful but the product didn't match expectations, so I phoned the WATFORD store and BRADLEY suggested I call in to make sure that I got the right product.
Having owned a business in the service sector, I'm experienced in identifying someone who is excellent at their job and Bradley is that person - He listened to what I hoped for in the product, made sure he understood what is was about the returned product to make sure that he made a recommendation. He tried various headphones to ascertain which he thought was the right set and presented EXACTLY what I wanted and hoped for. Very calm, no fuss, just pure professionalism - even half an hour before closing time on a Sunday! So now, I know where to go and this proves that personal shopping is the way to go. THANK YOU

Bought some new speakers

Bought some new speakers, the guy in the shop arranged a demo, set it all up with the music I asked for and I bought them. Simple, straightforward and a good deal. Thank you Richer Sounds

Knowledgeable and Helpful Staff

Richer Sounds are our first stop for audio and visual equipment. Prices are competitive and staff are helpful and knowledgeable. So why only 4 stars? Because they use DPD for deliveries and DPD are awful. On this occasion they delivered the item to our neighbours even though we were at home.

Thank you for the feedback although it's of course disappointing to read about DPD. We use several couriers including them, and vary which ones depending on the products and parcels involved.

From investigation it looks like they delivered to the wrong address in error, having not actually attempted to deliver to your property, as opposed to trying you and then delivering to a neighbour, but we will of course verify this when we speak to the driver directly.

Apologies again and if you do need any specific help please get in touch..

Customer ALWAYS comes first.

I’ve shopped with you for many years and have never had a bad experience. You just know how to treat customers. I recently bought a Sonos soundbar which I found underwhelming so asked Lloyd at Watford if I could exchange it for a different brand (Denon) ‘No problem’ he said. I told him I’d damaged the original plug and it was missing ‘no problem’ he said. I’m sure most other retailers would have said that I had invalidated the warranty. So I came along to the store with Sonos and Lloyd had set up a demo for me to show the difference between the Sonos and the Denon. One clear winner. So within 10 minutes I was on the way with new soundbar and you had one happy customer. Thank you Lloyd and thank you Richer.

Really happy with the advice we received from Heather and Lloyd. We bought 3 TVs on our second visit to the Watford shop. No pressure sales. Also the recommendation to get Jason to check out our property for a TV aerial was great. We need more kit and will go back to the Watford branch before considering going anywhere else.
