Good Morning Luke,

I hope you are well and thank you for your review.

I am very sorry for the issue that was raised with your initial sofa bed from us and apologise that we were unable to obtain the required parts to repair this for you.

I can see that your furniture was delivered in May 2022 and the issue was reported to us in September 2025. As the furniture has been used during this time the value does depreciate so you would not be offered the full amount back as a refund.
I am sorry if this was not the outcome that you may have expected.

As soon as your replacement order is ready for delivery then you will be contacted with the first available delivery date.

Many thanks

The delivery times where as told

The delivery times where as told . I received messages and calls to advise me on the timing the sofa would be delivered. The guys where very helpful with helping me move my old sofa out the way .. they made sure I was able to use the recliner buttons and all the rubbish was taken away . Very friendly.

The delivery tracking system worked…

The delivery tracking system worked well earlier today and the delivery was on time. The delivery team assembled the 3 SEATER SOFA REF 10346908 which
was fine. But when assembling the ARMCHAIR
REF 10346909 the base was obviously not level with the casters fully engaged. One of the team adjusted one caster leaving the thread exposed which severely affected stability strength at the rear RHS of chair This has been reported back by the team with photo' added. Kind regards. Martin Holland.

Sofa as seen in showroom and prompt and complete delivery

After reading the horror stories on facebook, I was extremely happy with my experience with SCS. The texts, emails and tracking works well. I received a telephone call to confirm they were 30 minutes away and they arrived shortly afterwards. The sofabed was brought in in sections and reassembled in the room. Very speedy and polite team.

Top Notch Delivery Service/Overall experience

Very pleased with the delivery service..infact, very pleased overall from start to finish. 💪💪
Two gentlemen came to delivery our furniture(1xarmchair/2xTwoSeater). Very respectful of the property and very helpful all round. They fitted the sofas and placed accordingly where we needed them..no fuss 💪👍 If I could add more than 5 stars..I would! 😎

Delivery of sofas was great

Buying the sofas was the easiest part. Really good service and advice.
On the delivery day, Chris and Simon rang through to inform me when they hope to be with me (dependent on traffic around the Dartford area!) I think they were travelling from Essex.
Both Simon & Chris were pleasant, jovial and brought my sofas in and placed them where I wanted them. They made it look so easy.
Thank you

A very satisfactory delivery

The delivery guys called me to advise their time of arrival and were prompt. They were polite, friendly and efficient, and tidied up after themselves.
Good ambassadors for SCS.

Disgusting company

If you read all my reviews regarding our sofa from SCS you will understand this review.. we have never had such bad treatment from any company ever!! Our sofas were never fit for purpose we are now going through small claims court and after my last review they answered and said someone would be in touch to discuss further and once AGAIN nobody got in touch they never ring you back!! I’m not too concerned as this will all go for us with our court claim but just another lie they have told us! DO NOT BUY from this company. We will wait to see the outcome of the courts but depending on the outcome we will NOT leave it this company must not get away with treating customers like we have been treated! I have just read your reply SCS and I was told they would ring me by the end of Monday it’s now Wednesday!!this happens every time they say they will ring.. they DONT!! Once they get your money they don’t want to know!!

No one knew Colchester was close except me

It would be easier to say what went right than what went wrong.
It took over three months to get our order of 2 two seater settee’s. Firstly we got a date for delivery on the 18/07/2025 No delivery no calls text or emails. I finally got through to SCS and they informed me that the Colchester store was closed for refurbishment and nobody knew anything. After countless phone calls I got through to head office, I explained what was happening and you never guess what they put me through to the Colchester store which was closed. My temperature was getting high and not happy. A few days I got a text say my delivery was to be on the 25/07/2025 between 13.00 and 19.00, you guessed it no delivery. I stayed all day just case it came but nothing no calls no text nothing
On the 28/07/2025 I managed to get through to head office, after a heated exchange I told them to cancel my order and return my £500 deposit. I was promised my order would be delivered on the 29/07/2025 between 07.00 and 12.00. I got an email saying my order will be delivered on the 25/07/2025 then a little while later I got another email saying that it would arrive on the 29/07/2025
Finally my order arrived at 08.00 they delivered my order and left
I will not ever be ordering from SCS again, very disappointing

Good Morning Rachel,

I hope you are well.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review and for the feedback regarding your experience.

I am very sorry that your initial delivery did not go ahead.
It is noted that a manager had tried to contact you on the day as the crew were stuck behind an overturned lorry so were unable to complete and further deliveries for that day.
I apologise sincerely that we were unable to reach you and for any inconvenience caused, we do appreciate that this must have been a frustrating time.

I will ensure that your feedback is received by our teams as this helps us to improve our service.

Many thanks
