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.... See more

Great staff and product range, very competitive prices too

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. They tried hard to make sure the television was right for me and satisfied my needs.
The Samsung oled tv is an amazing product, a fabulous picture and the set looks terrific too.

The product was not properly described

The product was not properly described. I was assured I would have a full wireless system so i was disappointed to find that I had a cable linking the two rear speakers.

I don’t blame the staff in Cheltenham for this – they were extremely helpful as always. It’s more the fact that Samsung poorly describe their products.

Thank you for your feedback, although I was of course sorry that you weren't completely happy with the product.

I've spoken directly with the store team who I understand have since contacted you to arrange exchange or refund, but your preference was to keep the unit. I will of course pass your comments to the supplier, and run through the issue with the colleagues so they can try and avoid a similar misunderstanding in the future.

Of course if you would like to discuss this further at all please do get in touch via the below address..

Very pleased with Ruark R3S purchase

After looking online I decided I wanted a Ruark R3S in grey colour. I went to my local Richer Sounds in Cheltenham as their price was identical to other retailers (online or store) and I was able to not only see the unit but also listen to how it sounded. The staff were friendly and efficient; they did not have the grey option in stock but the assistant tracked down a unit at another branch for delivery. Free delivery via DPD took three days. Overall, I am very pleased with the R3S and the service I received from Richer Sounds.

Excellent as always. RS and the speakers

Excellent as always. Nice little speakers for hiding at the back of my AV setup. The only thing that I think could be better designed about them is some way of hiding the screw and the speaker terminals if you mount them flat on the wall. I came up with the idea of using a blank switch plate and mounting it onto that and then onto the wall but in the end I put them in the corner at 45° and then cut out a triangular piece of white plastic from a Lurpak carton to slip over the top at the back and hide the screw and wires. I thought they would be too small to work with my very large KEF speakers but they do their job surprisingly well in my opinion. The fact that they take up very little room is particularly useful.

Really, really good customer experience

Really good, knowledgable, honest staff. Not a pressure sell. They just help you find the right product for your needs. Price is competitive - if not the best. 6 year warranty is a great addition. Thanks. Would recommend.

Always Richer Sounds

I am always being asked by family and friends for my opinions with the purchase of most electrical and all entertainment equipment. I am always researching on what is best at any cost point so any purchase that my family and friends require they ask me to do it for them and I always go to Richer Sounds. So why, firstly you will always find any item sold by Richer Sounds is the cheapest and secondly but more important to me is the customer care and shop floor assistance. Because I always use Richer Sounds on a previous occasion they gave me a voucher for various amounts depending on the cost of my next purchase. This is now the only negative point which is shown by my 4 star review, but I must add that because of how well I was treated by the shopfloor staff it was not mentioned. When the voucher was used it was for two items which included a free sound bar, at payment point my voucher was divided between all three items. My point is how can money be deducted from a free item? But besides that small anomaly I will always go to Richer Sounds.
Update: Back to a 5 star review, the store manager dropped me a email explaining it was not what it looked like with voucher being divided between all 3 items and on a closer look I was absolutely wrong, maybe I should have paid more attention in maths at school.

Thank you for your kind feedback, your continued custom and recommendations, which I can assure you are all very much appreciated. I'm sorry that there was some confusion when you used a loyalty voucher recently however, and will arrange for the store manager to give you a call to run through things in person.

Of course if I can be of any more help in the meantime do let me know..

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, it's of course disappointing that after such as positive start from the branch that the courier contracted let the side down.

I will of course investigate the experience you had, and if you'd like to discuss any aspect of it further of course do get in touch..
