Ryan was honest and spoke Welsh

Ryan was honest and spoke Welsh! However I did NOT like the comment at the bottom of the invoice about getting back to you within 24 hours if the product is damaged being in "microscopic" print. This should be in LARGE print with attention drawn to it.

Super helpful and knowledgeable staff

Super helpful and knowledgeable staff. Matt kindly set up a listening session and helped me choose between two mini hifi systems and four pairs of speakers using six tracks from four cds. He was so helpful and patient with all the switching around. And I’m really happy with the outcome.

Matt was Sound at Richer Sounds

Excellent service from Richer Sounds Manchester. Matt was brilliant from start to finish—friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely interested in helping me choose the right record deck, without any pressure to buy.

He took the time to explain everything clearly and made the whole experience really enjoyable. It’s exactly the sort of personal service that keeps you coming back. Highly recommended—thanks again, Matt!

service was good

service was good. item I wanted was identified and after speaking to staff zi ordered and paid for it to be collected the following day.
The only negative was the incorrect advice I was given.I asked if it was "plug and play without any set up" I was told "yes"
it wasn't. it came in 3 pieces. and I needed to fit a drive belt.
luckily this was not too difficult.
However, I am dissapointed in being given inaccurate information.

Thank you for your feedback, and kind words about the service. We appreciate that levels of technical expertise will vary from customer to customer, so I'm sorry that the colleague possibly used the term plug and play subjectively, and should have explained in more detail

We will of course pass the feedback to the branch team so they can learn from it for the future.

Amazing service from start to finish

Amazing service from start to finish. The website is easy to use and the process of collecting my product was also smooth. Received just the right amount of emails, no excessive marketing emails etc. The extended warranty was great for peace of mind, especially as I was buying a gift

Audio-Technica LP60XUSB Turntable - Brilliant Service

I was looking to purchase a turntable and sought advice from my local Manchester store. I needed to know that the turntable would work with my current Denon hi-fi. I contacted the Manchester store via email asking for advice on turntables and if they would be compatible with my hi-fi and also enquired about extending the audio leads. I received a prompt detailed response from Matt including information and links to the cables I sought information about and build quality of the turntables. I had a few other follow up questions, which Matt promptly dealt with. Superb customer service from the Manchester store. After weighing up my options I decided to purchase the turntable online, but I was unable to complete the purchase, I was guided to phone the Manchester store as an alternative to complete my purchase. I spoke with Adrian over the phone and he advised me that the turntable was out of stock but offered a near identical model at the same cost. I also enquired about vinyl cleaning products, Adrian informed me that he owned the same kit I was enquiring about and recommended the product. Overall a great experience dealing with the Manchester store, smooth easy transaction and delivered to my home the very next day. First class customer service.

Perfect customer service

Over 10 years ago we bought a Cambridge hi-fi set-up from Richer Sounds, including a Project direct drive turntable, and we're extremely happy with our purchase, and the customer service that we experienced from all the staff we encountered. This year, the CD player decided it liked our Gregory Porter CD so much that it refused to give it back. We spoke with Adrian(Store Manager) on the telephone, and we took it in to see what could be done. He explained that because it was a very early model, spare parts might not be available to fix it. It turned out that this was the case, so we decided to purchase another unit to replace it. They agreed to refund the original repair deposit, and also gave us a reduction to allow us to replace the lost CD, which I felt was customer service "above and beyond". They also arranged for free DPD delivery the following morning, which has happened perfectly. I'd just like to thank both Adrian, and all the staff involved for their excellent customer service, experience and making us, the return customer, feel so special. I'd recommend Richer Sounds to anybody wanting hi-fi equipment without blinking. To us, you are a trusted supplier. Thank you very much.

The member of staff was so helpful

The member of staff was so helpful, there should have been one item of the item we were buying in stock, but once he thought it wasn't he said it would be delivered free of charge the next day and it was. Exceptional service.

Friendly staff, good prices

Friendly staff, details orientated when reviewing any finance application, to make sure all details are correct and the customers fully understand the terms.
