Excellent service

Paul was extremely helpful and the television was delivered very quickly. John installed it for me a couple of days later and his expertise was absolutely amazing. I really appreciate the simplicity - for me - of the whole procedure with such assistance from Paul and John, so many thanks to both of you.

As I have already notified Trustpilot, Victor died last year.

Excellent service

I went looking for better headphones and Oli at Swiss Cottage branch was very helpful and knowledgeable. He also discussed and demonstrated some other equipment I was interested in. Very good service without any pressure or hassles.

Oliver was excellent. I will go back

Oliver, my sales person was the best I have come across. I walked in because it was the closest branch, but I am so glad I did. Ended up buying a high end Cambridge Audio amp and a CD player. And at prices that matched anything online! Oli allowed me to take as much time as I needed, organised a demo to let me hear similar equipment, and never put any pressure. I will go back for more (big screen TV, etc.).

Oli was very helpful

Oli was very helpful. Made recommendations and provided all of them (and lots of time) to try them out in the back room. Came to my flat to install the tech (and the control app) to ensure everything worked properly. Followed up to make sure the turntable I bought for my son was working as well.

Bought a high end DVD player from Oli

Bought a high end DVD player from Oli, who was very helpful about exchanging one unit for another and also showing me various TVs and stands. There was absolutely no pressure to buy or influence my choice. Good customer service is very rare today and this was exceptional.

A First-Class Buying Experience

I had an outstanding experience with Richer Sounds in Swiss Cottage when purchasing a turntable and WiiM streamer. Oli was knowledgeable, responsive, and very easy to deal with throughout the process. He provided clear advice and helpful technical support at every stage, and his sense of humour made the experience even more enjoyable! Excellent customer service from a longstanding local retailer that I would recommend without hesitation.
