Shocking experience at my local store…
Shocking experience at my local store at Basildon. Bought a sofa and a rug, all good with the sofa, however the rug was not right for me and it was so thin, I couldn’t even try and hoover it, I rolled it straight up again never using it and ready to return it the week later after work, (7 days) however when I asked to return it the Basildon Shop said I couldn’t. It cost me £280.- . So therefore I strongly recommend not to buy any rugs from SCS. Get them from IKEA instead at a fraction of the price and they happily take it back if it’s not suitable. Needless to say I won’t be using SCS again, and with this attitude and customer service in this marketplace , good luck to them . Not. At least St Luke’s Hospice will be ready to receive it and I’ll stick to my old/current IKEA rug.

Bonaci Andrei & Bakalov
Absolutely amazing delivery! I was really worried my sofa would not fit but Bonaci and Bakalov managed to get it in with ease. Super friendly and professional- thank you!
Excellent delivery experience.
Excellent delivery experience.
Notified a few days in advance, received confirmation of delivery on the morning, along with the time slot. Team arrived on time, delivered and positioned the furniture, then tested that everything worked. Excellent service.
Excellent service
The delivery drivers were friendly and polite and worked quickly and efficiently
Follow up from 15/6 - continued poor service
Well despite saying we would receive a call back no one phoned and we have had to chase. Have now heard back and have been told that the missing legs will be 2-3 weeks !! and on arrival we can either fit them ourselves or I need to call again to schedule for them to come out which will be 2-3 more days. All very apologetic but no one is taking responsibility and actually resolving things.

excellent delivery by the guys, friendly and polite, and took packaging away with them after. many thanks
Appalling Customer Service
Wrong items delivered.
We had to chase this for over 3 weeks before we got the correct furniture delivered, 4 weeks late.
No apology or compensation.
No response to formal complaint, not even an acknowledgement, after more than 2 weeks!
Update 20/7/25
I was so pleased to receive this response from SCS - at last someone listening!
Sadly my optimism was short lived!
As we were on holiday it took a while to send my response.
I responded on 4/7/2025 - and received no response!
I sent a follow up response on 11/7/25 - 9 days later and yet again absolutely no response!!
I am now beyond words, SCS seem unable to provide any customer service!

The sofa & armchairs were delivered as promised on the date & time that we agreed.
The SCS staff were very helpful and friendly, unpacking the items & taking the packaging away for us.
All in all a job well done.
Sofas arrived in pristine condition
We had sofas delivered and the men were very friendly and careful when bringing the sofas through the doors. They were quick and competent and took all the packaging leaving the lounge ckean and tidy. I would definitely go to SCS as first choice for any future furniture purchases.
Was awful from the start upsetting
Was awful from the start not only was my sofa delayed by 4 months .. the delivery men were really rude and complaining about my stairs which is not my fault they refused to collect the loan good they was meant to be collecting and kept shoving the paperwork in my face to say there not taking the loan sofa as it’s not on there paper work even after I phoned the office and they was told to collect it the scs office had to contact there manager to tell them they need to remove the loan goods they then. Tired to lie and say that there was no room on the lorry which there was because I made them show
Me the back of the lorry they was here for 2 hours having some kind of Mexican stand off refusing to do jobs they was meant to be doing but I was refusing to let them leave untill they removed the loan good as I couldn’t be left with a sofa that wasn’t mine! They also lost the battery pack to my sofa so my order was incomplete yet they made me sign to say it was complete and was moaning about there men not being payed for things that was not on there paper work even thou there manager had told them this was a simple admin error and it would be fixed and it definitely isn’t the customers fault I’ve never seen such bad work ethics in my whole life and as a single women with my child having 2 angry men in my home refusing to do things was quite upsetting it’s 3 days after they said someone should come out with my batterie pack and I’m yet to hear anything! So I have my £2000 sofa I can’t recline still

Lucy was a lovely young lady very patient and listened to my needs, the manager went forward with the information I needed but in the end it was the relaxed approach of Lucy and my budget that won me over!
Sofa and Chairs Delivery
Simon and Travis arrived in the time frame promised. After a quick check they took the garden route with better access for the sofa and through the front door with the chairs. They used a giant cover rug to protect the carpet and took all the packaging away with them.
Thanks for a smooth and successful delivery.
