A perfect experiance from shop visit to delivery. It was reassuring to be served by such a polite and knowledgable member of the sales team. He gave us the best choices and the reason for those choices, this made our decision so much easier.

great expertise and customer service.

Helped me narrow down the order for a new Turntable and Sonos Speaker ensuring the correct cabling was provided. The team at preston were easy to talk through my requirements, many thanks for the generosity of your time to make sure I got what I wanted. James I am sure AI cannot and will not compete with your personal service :)

Jason was brilliant he set up all the speakers I wanted to listen to and gave me all the advise I needed even though I just turned up on spec at a busy time. Bought a Marantz Melody and Monitor Audio Silver 50 speakers at a very good price, will shop at the Preston shop again whenever needing anything in the future.

Fantastic Shopping Experience

Had my eye on a Pink Floyd cassette player, had to phone to order. Fortunately, they had a few on pre-order, and Matt, from Preston branch, made sure I received one. Arrived even faster than I expected, and it is fab! Had a good chat with Matt whilst ordering, a very friendly, helpful chap.Not surprised folk keep going back to shop at Richer Sounds...such good service.

They just pip the competition to the post

I've had to think long and hard about my latest purchase, my oldest purchase goes back to 1995, customer service has always been my priority, something that the warranty and staff professionalism has always encouraged repeat purchases.
Over the last few years Mr Richer has stepped back and things have notably changed, warranty t&C's and legal letters to YouTubers who were just stating facts are some examples.
They just pip the competition at the moment.
Staff serviceand delivery are still excellent.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, and for your custom over the years which I can assure you is very much valued. I’m grateful that you’ve chosen to buy with us again, and glad that you found the service up to the standard you’ve come to expect from us.

It’s true that Julian has stepped back from the day to day running of the business, however he’ll always be the founder of Richer Sounds and the principles of second to none customer service that the company was built on remain at our core, especially as we build on the employee ownership model which we’ve adopted, and work to ensure our long term growth. Whilst things like policy changes can happen naturally over time, and as always when doing business there can be challenging issues to face, we’ll always treat our customers fairly and try our best to continually do the right thing.

Thank you again for supporting us.

Thank you for exceptional service

Thanks once again for the tremendous product advice and customer service from Matt at Richer Sounds Preston. Went beyond the extra mile to source a great deal for me on an LG tv. Product totally meets needs. Customer service involved finding a still boxed return from another shop (Cheltenham) and its delivery to Preston. Regular updates ahead of pick up. Another top experience with Richer Sounds at Preston.
