Richer Sounds use an excellent business model, which has allowed them to succeed and prosper while other suppliers have withered. Do a little research about Julian Richer and maybe you will see why t... See more

Does what it says on the tin

I have shopped with Richer sounds for quite a few years now and have always received good service, speedy delivery by a reliable courier and helpful assistants. Oh! And decent prices too.

Excellent service

Excellent advice given in a professional and friendly way. No pressure to upsell and Colin was more concerned with what we wanted/needed. Will definitely be using Richer Sounds for any future needs.

Best price guaranteed

I always look at a variety of website based reviews to decide what I require when looking for a new TV. This gives me a greater choice of supplier that can meet my requirements. Of course price, reputation and locality is important to me, so I rang Richer Sounds as they had the model I wanted and a no quibble price match meant they got my business. The store manager (Dale) kept the TV for me until I could pick it up, free delivery was available. Great customer service. My go to place now for any audio or TV equipment.

Very helpful over several days working out what the problem was with my Technics audio system. Also good advice which amp to buy. No hard sell techniques. Happy to answer various questions relating to equipment I already had. I was able to have a new amplifier purchased and integrated into my system over a 3 or 4 days having discussed and tested and diagnosed the problem.

Firstly

Firstly,
I got confused about an item I purchased. I sent an email to Richer Sounds and I got a great response. I thought my item had been delivered to the wrong person but it turned out I had made a click and collect choice without realising. So, I went to Newcastle on the bus and all of the staff including what seamed like an area manger were so chatty and encouraging.
Thank you so much. And all of this only for £30 purchase. You are all wonderful

I had some issues with my TV

I had some issues with my TV, but the customer service was excellent. After discussing the problem, they arranged for my TV to be replaced with a brand-new one. The replacement process was straightforward and handled quickly. I’m very happy with the service and the new TV. Great customer support and a positive experience overall from the staff at Newcastle.

Richer Sounds- Newcastle. First Class Professional Business

Great business to shop with. The sales staff & manager could not be more helpful and are very knowledgable when guiding me to the best product to purchase for my needs.

The two guys that delivered my purchase to me also need a mention as they were two gentlemen. Their attitude, care and professionalism showed through. An excellant representation for their company.

No bother at all

I'd ordered a Roberts radio online and asked for it to be delivered to a store as I didn't want it leaving on my step.

The notification came quickly and the product was in the store in a couple of days with no trouble at all. No problems whatsoever.

Great store with friendly staff.

The chap (sorry I’m terrible with names) who helped me was great. He explained everything I needed to know. Gave me a couple of suggestions. Then helped me the day after when I called back to order something else.
Great store, friendly staff would recommend.
