Sofa and Chairs Delivery

Simon and Travis arrived in the time frame promised. After a quick check they took the garden route with better access for the sofa and through the front door with the chairs. They used a giant cover rug to protect the carpet and took all the packaging away with them.
Thanks for a smooth and successful delivery.

Complaint #281542582
After being missold our sofa (January) and us refusing delivery the first time (April) countless emails being ignored, incredibly rude, intimidating, unhelpful manager instore, finally an email from Bradley on 22nd April to say our complaint was being looked into by an area manager (we’ve heard nothing to date but have a complaints number) so we sent an email asking for our order and contract to be CANCELLED COMPLETELY on 3rd May, a chaser email on 9th May because we heard nothing, and today we received an email saying they were going to try to deliver the sofa this afternoon?! This company is SHOCKING!! There is zero level of customer service, there is no actual communication, they might seem fine when trying to con you into buying the sofa but after that their behaviour is disgusting. My mother is 79 and even though she is completely fine in her mind she is frail in her body, recovering from a hip replacement in October last year. She has had to sit on garden furniture for months whilst this absolute farce has been playing out. The stress this has caused my mother is ridiculous. The fact we have been completely ignored every single time we contact them bar one email. And trying to call? Hours lost on hold. Or waiting for a call back. We have tried the after sales email address, the social media email address, as the customer service email now no longer exists. Avoid at all costs.

Good Morning Kathryn,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review, I hope you are well.

I am very sorry to read that you haven't yet received a resolution for your complaint and I can completely understand how upsetting this must be for yourself and your Mum.
Please accept my apologies for this as it is not what we would want for any of our customers.

I have located your email and sent all of your details onto the relevant team so that it can be looked into for you.

Many thanks

Some delays but otherwise great service

The in-person showroom and staff were very helpful, the crew who delivered and assembled the sofa were very professional and did a great job! The sofa is great quality, exactly as described, very comfy. Overall very happy.

The only thing that was less than perfect was that our lead time was extended a few times (which is ok) but the communication was a little lacking so we felt a little uncertain of when our sofas would arrive. Overall the sofas were delayed about a month but I didn't get an update until I proactively reached out to the support phone line (who were very helpful!) After this, I knew about the "Track your order" link on the website that was very useful, and started getting email updates which I hadn't seemed to be getting before.

3 & 2 Seater Borghi Sofas.

The whole process of our experience with SCS Basildon was excellent, made as such by their Sales Advisor Callums positive attitude, technical knowledge and attentativeness in matching our needs. Callum went above and beyond in making sure that our order was kept on track and still matched to our expectations. I would highly recommend this store to future potential customers.

Bonaci/Nicolae,Borislav

We went to SCS at Lakeside, Essex and had a great experience trying out all the sofas. The staff member Ukeme was extremely helpful and gave us plenty of time and space to choose what we wanted.
He talked us through the customisable options, which helped to fit our lounge.

We placed our order in February, and it arrived in May.
The delivery/ install was quick and easy.

Bonaci- (Borislav&Nicolae)

Good communication contacting us when they were close. They were polite and respectful to myself and home and took away the large boxes and rubbish. Very quick installing sofa and checked whether we were happy with the sofa etc.

Not impresses with the delivery

Not impresses with the delivery, no paper work left. Not spoken to about the sofa at all. No care instructions left and no inspection before they left. Please not this review is about the delivery only.

When we walked into the Basildon store…

When we walked into the Basildon store we was approached by a very nice Gentleman called George. He listened to what we wanted and took us round the store. To show us around He never pushed us to buy anything. He advised us what was the ideal sofa for us. We cat thank George enough for his help and advice. We highly recommend George and the Basildon SCS store

Very friendly staff

Very friendly staff, who also gave us time to have a good look around, and advise when asked, lots of sofas to look at and so many colours, personally I think to many (170 ish), but finally got there in the end. Looking forward to delivery now.

AVOID UNLESS YOU LIKE A BROKEN SOFA…

AVOID UNLESS YOU LIKE A BROKEN SOFA THAT COSTS £2500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE have had our technician report completed and haven't heard anything back since! i have been sitting on hold for almost a week to SCS and to be honest I've had enough!!!!
My wife had a phone call today AFTER putting her number on your useless system over and over again to just be hung up on!
WE just want our problem solved.
The customer service of this company is out of control. How you can leave a honest paying customer with faults on the sofa for this long is beyond me. I contacted you within 24hours of delivery it then took me a fight to get a report done and the gentleman doing my report agreed with me that there is a fault. I then receive ZERO contact. I will now be contacting the ombudsman. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE.
