Paul is practitioner such an expert in all things TV / Tech. Was super easy process from home inspection to deciding on spec. Richer sounds are best out there.

Problem with a CD player. Fixed (by the manufacturer) under Richer Sounds' extended warranty. No fuss, no problems. Staff at Richer sounds (Croydon) were very helpful. First rate service.

Poor fitting service

Knowledgeable staff but additional offered wall fitting service was a huge let down which ruined the experience ie Waited over a week and then told another two weeks with no response to a simple enquiry. Disappointing that Richer Sounds uses someone with not their high standards of customer service

I was most concerned to read that the approved installer we referred you to let both you and us down so badly. I will investigate urgently with our Head of Installation and we will review our relationship with this company to make it clear that we expect the same high standards you rightly point out our customers, including yourself, deserve.

In the meantime our customer service team will be in touch to find out what the query you had was so we can answer it and find a resolution to the wall mounting issue also..

Thanks for your great feedback and for supporting local business.

Good service and very helpful advice.

Paul was very helpful when buying a DVD player/recorder and sent an email with a link to the manual. Didn't need it in the end as it actually came with a paper manual but good of him to do that. Kept informed by Richer sounds when it would be arriving and got it the following day. We will be shopping with Richer Sounds again.

We visited the branch in South Croydon…

We visited the branch in South Croydon and met Kieran. We were looking for a record player for our daughter’s 16th birthday. Kieran could not have been more helpful & accommodating. He went above and beyond to meet our needs.
My daughter is soo happy with the purchase. Thanks a million again to Kieran he is a credit to the company!

Richer Sounds have never let me down

Richer Sounds have never let me down! The team at the South Croydon store are always helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable.

Was able to call to check stock levels. Paul was able to put an order in specifically for the item I needed, while also providing some solid advice at the same time.

I went in to collect it and that was also handled brilliantly by the guys in store.

I've used Richer Sounds, and this branch specifically, loads of times, and that trend isn't about to change.

Very helpful and friendly customer…

Very helpful and friendly customer services... I was not happy with my initial TV purchase, but it was easy to return and upgrade to something more suitable. Store also ordered the wrong size TV but I was able to call and sort it out over the phone. Ordered Sunday received first thing Wednesday morning, Only downside was parking which was expensive and difficult to find.
