Great and friendly service as always.
Ewan gave me as much time as I needed answering all my technical questions and gave me a follow up call to advise on connections.
Thanks again.

Thank you for your review, although I’m genuinely sorry for the frustration caused by receiving the same feedback request more than once, which is understandably annoying. Our Trustpilot invitations are triggered automatically from our emailed receipts, so we’ve raised this with them to investigate why multiple invites were sent.

Having since spoken to you directly I’m pleased we were able to get everything resolved, of course if you do receive any further duplicates, please drop us a quick email and we’ll take it up with Trustpilot straight away.

Richer Sounds Newcastle were brilliant from start to finish. I’d been in the market for a new OLED TV for months, and patiently waited until the model I wanted dropped in price. As promised, RS then beat that price and offered a better warranty, all without fuss over email. The TV was then delivered the very next day at no extra cost. A pleasure to deal with - would highly recommend.

Best in town or anywhere else.

Good value. Excellent tv. Delivered quickly. The customer service is 2nd to none. Love the 6 year guarantee. I would highly recommend this company. I wouldn't buy from anywhere else now. It's the quality and that's so hard to find these days. Love them.

Fantastic service

Excellent service at Richer Sounds Newcastle. I had decided to upgrade my cd player, headphones, and possibly purchase a turntable too. After a bit of online research, I went into the shop for a chat. The staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable and took their time to explain everything and answer my questions. It is also very useful that they have a room where you can try the equipment you are considering to make sure the sound is right for you. After a couple of visits I left with my new purchases and I am thrilled. Top marks for service and choice. I would highly recommend.

Richer sounds richer experience

Richer sounds were recommended to me by my father in law, who’s been a customer for years.

I ordered yesterday for click and collect. I received a phone call this morning to say it was ready. The guy was super helpful and helped get the tv in the car, taking extreme care.

My wife found the same tv at a different retailer and they kept there beat promise.

Tv ordered and collected from Newcastle. Whilst waiting I didn’t realise the range of appliances they sold.

Will 100% be a returning customer for tech needs.

Speaker Cable - Advice & Purchase

Popped into the Newcastle store to get advice about 2 sets of speaker cables. Got one in the store, ordered the other for delivery on the day I wanted it. Can't fault the service from Richer Sounds

Brilliant experience

As I have found every time I need to purchase a new TV , this is my 5th TV from the Newcastle store, the customer service & advice was excellent. The gentleman who served me was extremely helpful & he even carried the TV to my car & put it in the car for me.
SUPERB Service

We were made to feel special from the moment we walked into the store.The fact that we wanted a small tv (32”) didn’t change Colin’s manner towards us (as it had in John Lewis - the salesman didn’t want to know)Colin understood what we needed.He was very knowledgeable and but realising he had two technophobes, he kept things simple for us! He came out to install the tv and soundbar for us and was really friendly and approachable. In fact we have found all the staff to be very helpful as we have had to call the store on two further occasions for advice, and cannot fault any staff member.

Faultless Installation.

The instore discussion on which tv to buy, was very good. Price/warranty better than elsewhere. The installer at our home was slick and efficient. A very tidy faultless installation. Configured exactly to our requirements. Not a sub-contracted installation; own Richer S staff. Instructions on use were complex - but that's because of the technology - and us. Richer S deserves the Which? accolades.
