Very professional, knowledgeable staff.

All the staff I spoke to either on the `phone or in the shop were helpful, professional, friendly and explained clearly anything I wanted to know. The demonstration of the products I purchased was extremely useful and enabled me to make a decision.
Thank you.

I always purchase tvs from Richer sounds. The staff are always knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and supportive. They are not pushy, listen to what you want and always give the best advice. I normally purchase my tvs from the Hull branch but found myself in the York one on this occasion and the staff there were just as helpful and informative. I went on to purchase my new tv at a very reasonable price and had it delivered free of charge only a couple of days later. The delivery drivers kept us updated on their expected arrival an were even slightly ahead of schedule. Would not hesitate to recommend Richer sounds to anyone who may be looking for a new audio/visual product.

The TV was listed at a brilliant price and cheaper than any other retailer. In addition I got a free sound bar making it an even better deal which couldn't be beaten. Not only was the item and offer great, the customer service is second to none. Highly highly recommended Thank you Richer Sounds :)

Everything perfect except for the actual payment.
Had to make several attempts to pay.
In every instance at the very end of the process my online banking came up “payment failed”
Spoke to Robin at London Bridge store and he really tried to help but the payments still failed.
Next day spoke to York store and again exceptional help with the guys actually running “dummy runs” whilst I stayed on the phone to see if there was a faulty payment system.
My daughter even tried to buy the tv using her iPad and using her own credit card and that also failed.
Eventually after I suggested giving my card details over the phone it was decided a bank transfer should be used which worked first time.
Nothing showed on any of my credit cards which I had tried to use as they all failed apart from Amex which had four pending transactions for five days!
These have now gone from the account but still it took two days to complete the process.
However top marks to Robin at London bridge store who even offered a small extra discount for 24 hours and the team at York who eventually succeeded in the purchase going through.
Delivery guys great asked where I wanted the tv and very polite and helpful.
The tv is great with an incredible picture.
