ScS Happy Customer

Buying a sofa and armchair is my first experience of ScS. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again. From going into store and benefitting from Adam's customer service, to calling Customer Services with an enquiry who were polite and helpful, through to the delivery of my furniture today by the friendly and professional team of Alex and Josh, it's been a great experience. Thank you ScS.

Non existent after sales service shoddy goods

18 months ago I bought a carpet from the Basildon store of SCS Apparently since then they have stopped selling carpets . It wasn’t a cheap carpet £1500 but it looks terrible where it’s been walked on the pile looks flat and matted like a really old shag pile. We never wear shoes indoors and vacuum it twice at least a week , customer service are ignoring me . I’ve emailed them twice with no response and sent photos . I’m disgusted! I know there’s a warranty but have no details . They are great at taking your money but when something is wrong they ignore you . I would never buy anything from them again ! Avoid like the plague .
Update I received a call about this . Apparently the manufacturer only gives a warranty for 12 months so there’s nothing they can do do . I should have complained earlier! The guarantee shown on the sample in the showroom was certainly for way longer than 1 year or I would NEVER HAVE CHOSEN IT . I will be contacting trading standards as this carpet is not fit for purpose . It should come with a warning .this carpet is for show only . Do not walk on it . If you do it will look awful and we won’t do anything about it. It’s on the floor how can I avoid walking on it?

Shop at SCS

Store staff were very helpful in choosing furniture and material. With delivery the two lads that delivered were very respectful of our property, taking their shoes off, were polite and helpful asking where we would like furniture situated. Very pleased with service provided.

Delivery was excuted brilliantly and the sofa was placed in our front room with no problems. It wasn't easy but the two men were excellent. They cleaned up all the packing.
Both delivery men were polite and helpful.

Delivered, installed quickly, delivered without damage to the furniture, house or entrance.
No rubbish left behind.

Service above and beyond, I couldn’t ask for any more.

Thank you so much, brilliant team.

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.

Good Morning Tina,

Thank you for your review.

We're sorry to hear about the trouble you had with the rug.

Unfortunately as the terms and conditions of the order advises "you will have no right to cancel the contract or to return a product once delivered unless the product does not conform to the contract".

Many thanks,
Josh - ScS Social Media Team.

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.
