Delivery was excuted brilliantly and the sofa was placed in our front room with no problems. It wasn't easy but the two men were excellent. They cleaned up all the packing.
Both delivery men were polite and helpful.

Amazing delivery

Amazing delivery.

Constant update on delivery time, prompt, very friendly and helpful.

Delivered, installed quickly, delivered without damage to the furniture, house or entrance.
No rubbish left behind.

Service above and beyond, I couldn’t ask for any more.

Thank you so much, brilliant team.
Darren.

Shocking experience at my local store…

Shocking experience at my local store at Basildon. Bought a sofa and a rug, all good with the sofa, however the rug was not right for me and it was so thin, I couldn’t even try and hoover it, I rolled it straight up again never using it and ready to return it the week later after work, (7 days) however when I asked to return it the Basildon Shop said I couldn’t. It cost me £280.- . So therefore I strongly recommend not to buy any rugs from SCS. Get them from IKEA instead at a fraction of the price and they happily take it back if it’s not suitable. Needless to say I won’t be using SCS again, and with this attitude and customer service in this marketplace , good luck to them . Not. At least St Luke’s Hospice will be ready to receive it and I’ll stick to my old/current IKEA rug.

Good Morning Tina,

Thank you for your review.

We're sorry to hear about the trouble you had with the rug.

Unfortunately as the terms and conditions of the order advises "you will have no right to cancel the contract or to return a product once delivered unless the product does not conform to the contract".

Many thanks,
Josh - ScS Social Media Team.

Excellent delivery experience.

Excellent delivery experience.
Notified a few days in advance, received confirmation of delivery on the morning, along with the time slot. Team arrived on time, delivered and positioned the furniture, then tested that everything worked. Excellent service.

Follow up from 15/6 - continued poor service

Well despite saying we would receive a call back no one phoned and we have had to chase. Have now heard back and have been told that the missing legs will be 2-3 weeks !! and on arrival we can either fit them ourselves or I need to call again to schedule for them to come out which will be 2-3 more days. All very apologetic but no one is taking responsibility and actually resolving things.

Good Morning Martin,

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

I am very sorry that your furniture was not as expected on arrival and apologise that we had been required to place the feet on order for you.
We will always aim to have this with you as quickly as possible.

I can see that you have discussed this with our aftercare team and a further call back has been set for you also as requested.

Many thanks

Appalling Customer Service

Wrong items delivered.
We had to chase this for over 3 weeks before we got the correct furniture delivered, 4 weeks late.
No apology or compensation.
No response to formal complaint, not even an acknowledgement, after more than 2 weeks!

Update 20/7/25

I was so pleased to receive this response from SCS - at last someone listening!

Sadly my optimism was short lived!

As we were on holiday it took a while to send my response.
I responded on 4/7/2025 - and received no response!

I sent a follow up response on 11/7/25 - 9 days later and yet again absolutely no response!!

I am now beyond words, SCS seem unable to provide any customer service!

Sofas arrived in pristine condition

We had sofas delivered and the men were very friendly and careful when bringing the sofas through the doors. They were quick and competent and took all the packaging leaving the lounge ckean and tidy. I would definitely go to SCS as first choice for any future furniture purchases.

Was awful from the start upsetting

Was awful from the start not only was my sofa delayed by 4 months .. the delivery men were really rude and complaining about my stairs which is not my fault they refused to collect the loan good they was meant to be collecting and kept shoving the paperwork in my face to say there not taking the loan sofa as it’s not on there paper work even after I phoned the office and they was told to collect it the scs office had to contact there manager to tell them they need to remove the loan goods they then. Tired to lie and say that there was no room on the lorry which there was because I made them show
Me the back of the lorry they was here for 2 hours having some kind of Mexican stand off refusing to do jobs they was meant to be doing but I was refusing to let them leave untill they removed the loan good as I couldn’t be left with a sofa that wasn’t mine! They also lost the battery pack to my sofa so my order was incomplete yet they made me sign to say it was complete and was moaning about there men not being payed for things that was not on there paper work even thou there manager had told them this was a simple admin error and it would be fixed and it definitely isn’t the customers fault I’ve never seen such bad work ethics in my whole life and as a single women with my child having 2 angry men in my home refusing to do things was quite upsetting it’s 3 days after they said someone should come out with my batterie pack and I’m yet to hear anything! So I have my £2000 sofa I can’t recline still
