Almost perfection

The whole was almost a delight until day of delivery.
I was told I would receive a email and text with a narrowed time slot with a tracking link before 7am day of delivery. That never happened! Around 10 am I had to call the delivery team they told me they could see my delivery would be 1-2pm and I would receive a call from driver 1 hr from delivery and a tracking link would be sent nearer delivery. I never received that tracking link, The driver + his partner called me but 10 mins before delivering/installing my sofa. The installation when well no issues.

My sofa is perfect all works, feels, looks greats.

The driver and his partner were friendly and installed everything and less than 30mins

Well still having Trouble with my Sofa…

Well still having Trouble with my Sofa which is not the one I ordered in the first place. Not heard anything from them since i told them these fibre seatting cushion are gone or going flat.We are both Pensioner's,so they expect us to puff them up every morning, but the stuff inside is like inside of a Duvet not enough Filling.So I went on an Email last night to win a Sofa from SCS and had a message come back online saying I've been Blacklisted. This is why I'm having so much trouble. They couldn't care less about People who Buy a £600 from them.Its been an on going problem since 2024.The stress they are causing me.We did have a replacement Sofa, not the one I ordered and it was a second hand one.Long living nightmare when you spent drawdown money from your pension on a use Sofa that's not the one I ordered.useless company.

Ciao Sandy,

I hope you are well and thank you for your review.

I am very sorry that you have concerns with your furniture and do not believe this to be correct from what was ordered.

Looking over the notes I can see that you have queried this previously however after checking all of the relevant information the furniture was confirmed to be both the correct model and colour that was ordered.
Again I am sorry if the outcome is not what you may have hoped for.

You requested for fibre interiors, rather than Foam and with all furniture we do advise you to follow the care guide with regular dressing for the interiors to keep this looking its best.

I can see that you contacted us back in January and we advised you to complete our contact form so that we could fully review any concerns.
I have attached the link to the form below which you can complete and submit back to us if required.

Many thanks

The delivery was smooth and stress free. Received a call about an hour before delivery and I was able to track the location using a link I was sent by text message. The two men who delivered were friendly and professional. They set up the new sofas and took all the rubbish with them, highly recommend.

Ordered a 3 seater sofa

Ordered a 3 seater sofa, snuggle chair and footstool online back in July 2025. It was due to be delivered October 2025. The day before delivery I didn’t receive any updates of time etc, so I called. I was told that it wasn’t being delivered as it’s not down on the delivery sheet for that day and it’s at the wrong distribution centre. It was then scheduled for delivery in November 2025. Same thing happened again. Then again. Then again in December. At this point, they rang to ask me what was going on as the booking team keep scheduling dates for delivery but there is no sofa to be delivered??? I was told I would receive a 10% refund straight away for the inconvenience and it may mean that a new order needs to be done as it’s been sat in the warehouse a long time now. I asked this to be looked into and was promised a callback. This didn’t happen. I called the beginning of January 2026. I was told and I quote “I’m going to be honest with you, your order was sold in a SCS store”. At this point, I requested a FULL refund. I was told that I couldn’t do that because I agreed to a 10% refund and reorder back in December when I spoke to them. I explained this was not the case and asked for the call from December to be listened to and sent to myself. It turns out, I didn’t agree to this and they admitted miscommunication on their end. I then had to wait for a manager to authorise the refund. This was then sent to business support on 28th January 2026. I hadn’t received any confirmation so called back on 4th February 2026. I was told by business support that the online sales team had not sent them an authorisation code so they couldn’t process the refund. They promised they would call me back the same day as the online sales time could get them the code within 30 mins. Again, I had to call back at the end of the day. I was told by the online sales team that I don’t really need to be put through to business support as they will just issue the refund. I asked to be put through to business support regardless and good job I did because they needed my card details and to send me a receipt through to my email. Today, I have finally received the full refund. Absolutely appalled at how this was dealt with and the amount of time it took. Selling my order on in store and trying to tell me I agreed to something when I didn’t. The constant chasing you have to do is ridiculous. Their communication is unbelievably poor. I won’t be ordering from them again and recommend others not to.

Delivery of sofa

Absolutely delighted with sofa. The guy who delivered it were so helpful. Assisted me with everything. They rolled my rug up, moved the old sofa. Showed me how to position the sofa, and how it worked. Can’t praise them enough.

Incredible thoughtful delivery crew

Delivery of my beautiful new sofa and chair was made within the time frame given . So much care was given when bringing it into my house which is a new build with new light coloured carpets . The packing materials used to create protection to the carpet and shoes taken off . The sofa and chair lifted into position and the protector cups removed . The crew were polite and efficient and did their job impeccably . Would give them 10 stars 🌟 if there was an option . Thank you so much .

So disappointed

Today I had my new sofa delivered from SCS. I must admit that the service in the store was top-notch, which I can't say about the delivery. First of all, one of the gentlemen dropped the sofa from a van onto the street without using a powered pallet truck or anything. The gentleman stood there for 10 minutes, calling someone. When I asked if there was a problem, they said they didn't have a drill, so I offered to borrow mine, and they said OK. Before bringing the sofa home, the gentlemen were told to pay attention to the radiator hanging on the wall. Despite my requests, they leaned the sofa's full weight on the radiator. After bringing the sofa into the living room, one of the men disappeared, and the other took a picture of the sofa (in the box and plastic wrap). Then, when asked if they will unpack it, secure the sides (backrests) of the sofa, check its quality, and remove the boxes and plastic wrap, he said, "One second." Then he went to the van, and they drove off. A few minutes later, I received an email confirming receipt of the delivery, signed with my name (by one of the drivers, as I hadn't received any documents to sign). I've never encountered such degrading and poor customer service (delivery service) before. This is certainly not what you would expect when buying a new sofa and paying over £1000.
So, I was left at home with an unpacked and unchecked sofa; I'm waiting now for management to contact me.

Unprofessional …

What went wrong was that we didn’t receive everything we’d paid for. The delivery crew told us that the furniture wouldn’t fit through the door and that they could either take it back or we would have to take a window out. It was a 3 seater settee that came in sections plus a recliner that wouldn’t be a problem. I have rang the company a couple of times and been promised that someone would get in touch. I’m still waiting!!!!

Good Morning Valerie,

I hope you are well and thank you for taking the time to leave us your review.

I am very sorry that your delivery did not go as expected on the day and your furniture was deemed as non-ft by the crew.

Please accept my apologies also that you haven't yet been contacted as expected to discuss this.
As your order details are not included with the review I am unable to look into this at the moment.
Please feel free to call us on 0191 7313300 and the team can certainly chase this up with the store for you.

Many thanks
