Richer Sounds shipped a used, open/unsealed product, without any secure packaging. Inside was a pair of clearly used speakers covered in dust and hair.
When contacting customer services to request they be picked up and returned for refund, they said a refund would only be released after 10-14 days after receiving the returned speakers. They convinced me to accept a replacement and agreed to have the speakers picked up the next day.
However the delivery driver arrived with another unpackaged, open/unsealed box with dusty used-appearing product for a second time. I rejected the replacement speakers and the delivery driver said they usually send out customer returns and agreed they wouldn't be happy.
I've emailed customer services to make sure everything is in writing but no response.
Update: Customer services finally responded and I’m now waiting up to 14 days, after they receive the returned products, for my refund to be released. No apologies for the stress and time wasted while I attempt to resolve this.

Excellent service provided by Richer Sounds. Absolutely over the moon with my Cambridge Audio Evo One. Arrived the day after ordering. Will definitely be using again soon.

Got in contact with Matthew, the manager of Bromley branch regarding my purchase. He was very much in listening mood and I was pleased that he did. He was most accommodating and I ended up making a purchase - a Dali.
Very happy with my Richer Sounds experience. Looked after all the way and am very pleased with my purchase.

Tell you what, the whole experience from phoning to find out about an older model TV that wasn't on your website to unpacking the set and turning on couldn't, i don't think, have been better - unless someone stayed to take away the cardboard (hoho).
Thanks for everything you did. Happy bunny.

Fantastic service from Gavin in the Leeds store, he took me through my choices and was a great help. I'm delighted with the turntable and speakers, thanks Gavin.

Staff are really helpful as always. I've bought loads from them over the years. Unfortunately I'm a bit disappointed with the Pure Classic H6 but that is nothing to do with Richer Sounds.

Always have great service from Richer Sounds and honest advice which is very much appreciated. Small issue with a missing accessory which was sorted quickly between York and my local store. Do wish website pricing and availability was more accurate, especially on clearance deals.

Fantastic sound from the Denon and Fyne speakers. Very easy to set up and delivered next day, what's not to like. Thank you.

Fantastic product at a very competitive price. The VIP scheme, at no extra charge qualified me for an extra discount plus extended guarantee.
Delivered on time. Also great customer service.
Great job all round. Well done
