No messing around here

No messing around here. Ordered at an excellent price, kept notified. Delivery was arranged quickly. Day before the delivery was due, I was text a time window which was followed up by a call on the delivery day informing me of the precise time I'd be in receipt of my goods. Fellas who delivered were polite and courteous. Couldn't ask for better service and they'll definitely be my port of call whenever I need any AV equipment in future. Top notch.

Honest and accurate advice

Honest and accurate advice. Able to offer help and support within the shop.
It’s good to chat with people who have excellent knowledge of the equipment they are selling and who won’t patronise you.
I was able to use my knowledge and experience in choosing my purcheses with confidence and certainty being backed up by the salesman. The staff were very friendly and professional - and knew how to joke!

Very pleased

Order was placed late on a Friday afternoon and I was very impressed by being told it was out for delivery on the Monday. Unfortunately the courier couldn't find the address (not an easy task), however, Richer Sounds were in contact very quickly and took further details and a map. Delivery was successfully made the next day.
Full marks to Richer Sounds for customer service.

Shop/demo of kit was great

Shop/demo of kit was great, staff at Cheltenham very helpful.
Only letdown (which I don’t hold Richersounds directly responsible for) was my amp delivery arrived a day late when I had taken time out to be available on the arranged delivery date (FedEx were the issue- Leak use them it seems, to courier their goods)

Thank you for leaving us a review, it is fantastic to read such positive comments about the store team and that the demo went well. It's really disappointing that the courier used by the supplier let the side down somewhat however and we will of course feed this back to Leak so they can review themselves.

Of course should you need any help whatsoever do get in touch..

Thank you for your feedback, and positive comments about the Brighton store service. I'm really glad you were happy with the price paid also.

We hope to see you again soon, and hopefully next time make it a full five star experience!

Excellent

Efficient, friendly service inc necessary home visit, great price, even greater product.

Only minus: we were assured the sound bar would fit on our TV table but it doesn’t. But TV and Manhattan box are bliss!
