Thank you for your 5 star review, it’s lovely to read your comments.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Expert, Impartial and friendly.

Staff are friendly and helpful. No pressure. I was not a big budget customer, but that made no difference. In fact the price was much better than I had expected, even after joining the VIP club.
Well done. I will certainly recommend you.

The excellent service continues

I have shopped with Richer Sounds for over 40 years and have never had bad service or cause to be disappointed with them. I bought a TV with them 2 years ago that became faulty. When I contacted them they arranged for it to be collected and provided me with brand new packaging for its transportation.

When they told me that it was a write off, I expected that to be it. No, they gave me 2/3s of what I paid for it back, so I bought another TV from them. I ordered it last Saturday and received it a day early on Monday, they even carried it out to my car for me (as they did with the previous TV).

My congratulations and thanks go out to the Cheltenham branch and the rest of the company for their continual excellence of service. A standard that many other companies should aspire to achieve.

One delighted customer …

After a small hiccup when Gaetan didn’t call me when he said he would, everything went like clockwork.
I had originally ordered a Hisense 100” screen, and then found out that it might not be a good match with my projector. A quick call and Gaetan recommended the Optoma 92” and changed my order.
I had a problem with a “Road Ahead Closed” sign in my street, but a message was sent to BJS home delivery to ignore it, and they delivered it on the correct day and within my 3 hour slot.
I now have it, but haven’t yet unboxed or wall mounted it… will do so in a few days when I have all the tool, screws etc. needed to do so.
The whole experience was worry free, and I am more than happy with the service from both Richer Sounds and BJS.

Superb experience

From stepping into the shop, with a pocket full of questions to receiving my order the very next day, my experience was exemplary. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Excellent service. I definitely made the right choice and gained insight that I wouldn't have received by buying online. 5 stars and more. Plus my turntable is superb and better than I expected.

Extremely helpful staff

Extremely helpful staff especially Mandy. Made sure that I was aware of any promotions etc. that the manufacturers were having. I won’t shop anywhere else for TVs etc. especially as the founder of Richer Sounds has let the staff share directly in its success by giving them shares in the company. Result is highly motivated and committed team members.

damaged product

whilst delivery was rapid, product was damaged - obviously so from the packaging, and the delivery driver just gave it to the first person he saw - a builder working on my house. I was inside.

the return procedure was convoluted and time consuming & requiring multiple photographs, emails, whatsapp & phonecalls. very frustrating.

It was most concerning for me to read about your experience and I offer my sincere apologies.

Having reviewed the delivery information, the condition of the packaging should have been apparent before the item was handed over, so we'll be raising this with DPD directly. They should have made us aware of the damage so that we could have contacted you before delivery and avoided the obvious disappointment that followed.

I'm also concerned to read your comments about our own returns process. Whilst there are inevitably a few checks required when dealing with damaged goods, it sounds as though the process was far more time-consuming than it should have been, and we should always aim to keep any additional inconvenience to an absolute minimum. I will be reviewing what happened with the store involved to understand why the matter wasn't handled more efficiently and address any training needs identified.

In the meantime, a member of my team will be in touch to ensure this is brought to a satisfactory conclusion. However, if I can be of any assistance personally, please feel free to contact me directly.

Beginner

I'm a beginner to all things HiFi so l found the advice making my purchase very helpful and informative. Bought a new Wiim Pro for streaming through my amp, and some good quality leads for my speakers, laptop and turntable. Very pleased with the purchase, price and advice. Thank you.

Real people in real shops selling real hi fi

I knew what I wanted, so I expected an easy conversation.
My phone call was quickly rewarded with a human voice in my local store who listened to my needs, checked stock and made sure that I had the necessary cables and stands. Local stock was not available so I was made aware of my collection or delivery options. The items arrived earlier than expected. No fuss or complications, real humans, real shops, pleasurable shopping, excellent hi fi.
