Great Audio visual equipment not tumbledryers

There is always a network of very knowledgeable staff at this branch compared to other suppliers whose expertise was good in dishwashers and tumble dryers but not so good when it came to the DENON AVR-S760 I recently purchased. The 6 year guarantee RS provide gives me "PRODUCT COMFORT" which is very important to me.

Every time I have

Every time I have used you, the service has been excellent, and this time it even surpassed it’s self, as I had a problem with my receiver only playing out of one speaker, on speaking to your staff about it, they arranged for a new one to be delivered the next day, and also pick up the faulty one, of which I am grateful.

Richer 1 DPD 0

The service provided by the Richer Sound staff was second to none and I am very happy with the Majority Quadriga, which is an excellent piece of kit.

I was far from happy with the performance of DPD whose incompetence knows no bounds. The result was the delivery being a full day late.

Long term customer.

I've been shopping with Richer Sounds since the 1980s, and they have consistently provided top class service.
They have a close knit, friendly and professional staff who are always knowledgeable and helpful, with literally no hard sell.
Their product range is great and the prices always competitive... buying from Richer Sounds is an absolute no brainer.

Friendly staff knew exactly what I wanted not at all pushy to make sale.
Even allowed us to leave the car while we went for a bite to eat at a place they recommended.
Products arrived as promised next day.

A Bad Experience Made Good

After a most helpful and pleasant experience buying a new and extravagant HiFi system during Covid, I decided to buy a replacement Freesat STB to replace my now old Humax STB. I phoned in advance to arrange a time to visit the showroom to get some advice and buy a 2TB recordable STB. The Assistant Manager said he would order one anyway as there wasn't one in stock. I arrived as agreed only to find a completely different unit had been ordered ! I was unable to get answers to my detailed questions, but was told that there was an 'out of box' shop used one available and at a modest discount; so I agreed to buy it. After some searching, a power supply was found and simple check performed to see that it worked. I went home happy (or so I though). Once home and having connected-up the new STB, I found some unexpected behaviour with the unit. It turned-out that the power supply was incorrect (18w not 36w) and after a phone call to explain the problem, was told that I'd get a call back later that day when the correct power supply had been found. One week later after not receiving a call-back, I telephoned again and was told that a new one had been ordered. I asked when and how it would arrive and was told that I'd get a call-back with the answers later that day. Two days later after not receiving a call-back, I phoned again. I was told that there had been a mixup, but there was now a brand new one in the store and that I could have the power supply from it. I went straight to the store and swapped it for the wrong one.
After my review above, I've been contacted by the senior management at Richer Sounds with a sincere apology and a promise to improve staff performance at the Tunbridge Wells branch. As a result, I'm more likely to choose to go to Richer Sounds again. I'm prepared to put the poor communication and lack of genuine technical knowledge from the shop staff behind me and hope for better in the future.

I was sorry to learn of the issues you recently experienced with your Humax box and the difficulties in resolving things with your local branch. I will investigate with them and contact you to help resolve your complaint..

Telesales 1 Online Orders 0

Unfortunately when I tried to order from the website something (I guess) technical halted my progress and meant the ‘Next’ button didn’t work. So I rang telesales instead and placed my order that way. The team were brilliant, as we’ve come to expect from Richer Sounds, placed my order and emailed the paperwork straight away. My order arrived by Next Day Delivery. Great service as usual, nice one.

Very Happy

The gentleman was very helpful, gave us both a seat and offered us a glass of water. We had come for a new TV. We knew what we wanted, but checked out a couple of other TVs same size screen and price. Great service as always

First Class from start to finish

From start to finish the service was exceptional. Joe, the Tunbridge Wells store manager, offered a first class service. Great advice, a completely rush free audition of the sub-woofers I was interested in. I chose the SVS PB 1000 as it had a real depth to the bass. However, the wife was not happy at the size of it (it's a very large sub!) Not a problem for Joe. Return it for full refund he said. After careful consideration, I ordered a smaller, but more powerful SB 2000Pro. I am not disappointed! Cannot thank Joe enough for his patience and understanding. I already recommend others to shop at Richer Sounds.
