Excellent experience.

Excellent experience shopping at Richer Sounds Newcastle. I had enquired about the item, price (very good deal) etc. and then just needed to ensure domestic harmony!
I returned and ordered and it was delivered next day!
I'm very pleased with the way everything went. I've bought from Richer Sounds several times and always been very pleased.

Outstanding!

First class experience throughout with recent purchase of a new TV. Colin gave excellent advice and customer service right from the first 'phone call through to personally installing the new TV.

Thank you Colin you went above and beyond. You are a star!

Excellent Service from Euan and the Newcastle store.

Excellent Service from Euan and the Newcastle team.. I was seeking a Monitor Audio centre in Ash but they weren't available online..
He sourced one direct from them and had it delivered within a few days and the communication was excellent. Would highly recommend. I will be coming back for the next upgrades.

Quality of service and advice is great

Quality of service and advice is great. Purchased new pair of headphones. Only downside is that I've had to purchase a separate headphone amplifier to use them as neither the cambridge amplifier or denon record player has headphone socket. That needs to be shown before customer buys the unit.

Thank you for your feedback and I'm glad the service at the Newcastle branch was as you expected. As you rightly say, with no headphone socket, the only way to connect wired headphones to a set up is with a headphone amp. I'm sorry that this was not discussed when you were buying the headphones for whatever reason, and will raise this with the branch.

I hope all is now well with the system of course, but if you do need any help please feel free to get in touch..

Great advice and service in the shop

Great advice and service in the shop, as always. When my cd player was delivered it was found to be faulty. When I reported this, staff were extremely helpful and quickly arranged for a new cd player to be delivered and the faulty one taken away.

Rubbish delivery service and that is being very poiite

I got excellent support from the shop and information second to non but it fell apart when it came to delivery. I waited all day on first delivery which was not going to happen. The second day of delivery again I waited in knock on the door and it was my nextdoor neighbour the address was correct for me but not the driver

Faultless

In store visit to get advice about the options for my budget. Dale answered all my questions and I ordered in store. The TV arrived in 3 working days and the delivery crew were excellent. Can't fault the overall service from Richer Sounds

Staff who are both knowledgeable and helpful

Staff who are very knowlegable about the product range. They were supporting me making a choice of speakers (which is very subjective), rather than pushing a particular product.
They were happy for me to have a second visit to listen to the speakers, before purchasing. Therefore I was confident that I had made the right choice. Which has proved to be the case since I've had them at home

Helpful phonecall to the Newcastle upon Tyne branch and I received a £10 incentive discount on my Soundbar purchase. I felt the service on the phone was good and I was told it should be delivered within two days. It sadly took 5 days to arrive which although frustrating was not a big problem. I've shopped with RS before and will do again as they're staff are knowledgeable and the service is usually very good too.

Thanks for your response to my review.

Thanks for the feedback although I'm sorry the delivery took longer to arrive than the colleague implied. Our free standard service is up to 5 working days; whilst we do our best to get deliveries out of our warehouse as quickly as possible, here I can see you ordered on the 24th and the delivery did take place on the 28th as you say. Of course we should always under promise and overdeliver to avoid disappointment, and I've explained this to to the store team.

We really appreciate your kind comments about the store team of course, which I have also passed on, and hope all is well with the new kit. Do get in touch of course should you need any help at all..
