Gareth was a polite friendly bloke

Gareth was a polite friendly bloke. kept me upto date on when he was going to arrive and was on time. Also was very careful and helpful with my product. Nothing was to much. Gareth is a credit to your company. If only all delivery people were like this. Keep him he is a good one 😀

Richer sounds for ever

Fantastic. I had a limited small budget to spend and not sure if the Richer Sounds was the right place to go to. The salesman Bowie took time to guide me in my price range without trying to make me overspend. The time Bower took for me you would think I was buying a £15000.00 system. Bowie you were so knowledgeable and guided so well with my budget. No doubt about it. If you want the best you can afford then go to Richer Sounds. It’s the only place I will go to in the future

Very helpful

The staff at the store were very helpful. Harvey was my main point of contact and has been extremely forthcoming in dealing with my queries.

This store is highly recommended.

Milton Keynes Branch

I bought Sennheiser cordless headphones at the MK branch at 11.11 am on Friday 31 July. They were not in stock so I expected standard delivery (free p&p) would take a few days. They arrived the next day (Saturday).
The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Great service.

Fantastic service from Nottingham branch

Really good experience from beginning to end. Tony at the Nottingham branch gave me the best price available for our new TV. He checked that the bracket that I intended to buy was appropriate. Delivery was arranged for free for the next day. I took our old TV into the store for recycling, or charity donation. Tony helped get it out of the car & into the store. Superb service & thoroughly pleasant people. Thank you.

The whole experience was top notch

The whole experience was top notch. I called the Guildford store and Roland helped me purchase the LG G-series 65" OLED Evo 4K wall mounted version with the LG US70TR soundbar. Roland was super helpful, and recommended an installer they have used for many years - Ben. The installation process was excellent and Ben set everything up including the soundbar. The TV is outstanding and we are super pleased with the soundbar and speakers. Great service from start to finish and a great deal all round.

Upgrade of TV

Diego was most helpful in my quest for a replacement TV. I’m happy with my choice as I didn’t want to go overboard with size and technological extras.
Plus, I had it delivered,installed and set up by John who had been nine years ago, again very helpful in the process.
Thank you both.

Superb Service

Friendly and professional service from Tom, who assisted me in my purchase of a Manhattan s4r Freesat box.

I was assured that if I needed any technical help I could ring up and a member of the team would gladly assist.

Great service.

Great service always

Great service always, and it's great to know when you realise you are talking to experienced technicians. I have always liked to walk in to collect rather than get it delivered, as it gives me a chance to know more about my item.

Item arrived the next day

Item arrived the next day, pristine, and very good price. Received roughly a thousand emails asking me to rate my experience, by which time I'd forgotten what I had bought and had to search my own receipts to figure it out.

Excellent amplifier (but with phono pre-amp caveat)

This is an excellent amplifier but for music lovers, like myself, not deeply knowledgeable technically (the amp I replaced was 37 years old), be aware that this amplifier may need an accompanying phono pre-amp. I was not advised of this at the time of purchase so when I set up the new amp, I was frustrated when I got no sound from my records. I found out about the pre-amp issue by accessing the manufacturer's online manual.
Fortunately I had recently purchased from the Glasgow store a turntable so when I called to ask about pre-amps a few days later, Charlie was able to refer to my previous purchases and thus advise me to switch the RIAA oon my turntable to ON which resolved the problem. Charlie was very helpful and patient when both discussing the matter and guiding me to a satisfactory outcome. The overall rating would have been a 5 but for the initial frustration I experienced from the phono pre-amp issue, which could have been discussed at the time of purchase, considering its importance.

Thank you for your review and detailed feedback. We were very sorry to read about the issues with the phono pre-amp, and will of course feed this back to the store team for future reference.

It’s great that Charlie was able to assist you in resolving this issue however, and should you experience any further difficulties please feel free to get in touch with the store directly.

We hope you enjoy your new purchase!

Blue LIght Discount

Prices comparative with most other Hi-Fi retailers but this was the only one that offered Blue Light Discount. Prompt updates on progress of order. Dispatch confirmation confusing as it appeared deliver would be to home address not shop. Notified when delivered to shop. Arrived to collect just before opening hours (after first phoning to confirm collection) First member of staff refused entry as not opening time. Second member of staff much more pleasant and helpful.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and for your positive feedback about the purchasing experience.

Our apologies for any confusion caused by the delivery email, this may be down to the way our system currently works with collections. Our further apologies that there was also a slight hiccup when arriving at the store, which we will of course raise with the branch.

We hope you enjoy your new purchase!
