Delivered late but that was traffic congestion. Good to see my product was securely strapped in. Sound bar was different to one advertised. I'm not an expert so don't know if it is of the same spec or better or worse?

Superb service

Recently went into the Reading store, looking for some advice about upgrading my Ortofon 2M Blue to a Bronze. Dan was extremely helpful, must have noticed my trepidation when we were talking about changing the cartridge, and he offered to fit it for me! The Bronze cartridge and stylus arrived the next day, took it in with the headshell, expecting to leave it for a few days, but received a call later that afternoon to say that it was done (by Steve, the manager).
Extremely good service, and I am very pleased with the result - now happily working my way through my favourite albums, and hearing stuff which I never knew was there.

Choosing speakers

We spent a happy hour auditioning 3 sets of speakers before choosing the Focal. Dan was very helpful throughout, indeed he recommended the Focal speakers, which were on sale at a good discount.
All in all a very satisfactory experience.

I rang in to check availability of a set of B&W speakers

I rang in to check availability of a set of B&W speakers and spoke to Dan on Friday. He gave me some great advice on an appropriate set of speaker cables and I placed my order over the phone for the speakers and cables. Steve rang me on Monday to say the speakers had arrived. I collected on Tuesday - all super smooth. Thanks to Dan, Steve, Rory, and Luke for a great buying experience.

Excellent service and good price

Excellent generally, but also solved a set-up problem over the phone with relative ease. Also, easy to reach on the phone to get immediate help.

Always good service

Regular shopper at RS over the years. Called in to discuss what I wanted as I couldn't get to a store, chatted about part-ex on old audio and got helpful advice that suggested in my case I'd be better not to. Placed my order over the phone, was able to use whichever payment method I wanted and the new kit was delivered as quickly as possible given the Easter weekend in the middle. Will continue to use for as long as I need AV gear

Good service

I was looking to trade in an older amp but due to its age and no box, this wasn’t an option, however the sales agent offered me a discount similar to what the trade-in value would’ve been. I felt this was good service from the staff member.

The goods arrived when requested and am very satisfied.
