Good Morning Lee,

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

I am very sorry that you are waiting for an update on your order.

I can see from the documents that your order was initially estimated to arrive at our Distribution Centre around 27/06/25. We do advise that this date can change by 4 weeks either side.

At the moment we are waiting on a further update, but are still within this timeframe.
A call back has also been set with the store to discuss this further with you.

Many thanks

Very good experience.

Very good experience.

My wife and ordered a new sofa on the 12th of April, we was told a 3 month wait for it to be delivered. We recieved notification of delivery 3 weeks before delivery. We the recieved a notification a day before delivery and then an email and text the morning off to confirm delivery time and date. Delivery of the new sofa was flawless and could not fault this what so ever.

We cannot remember the lady's name in the colchester store but made us feel at ease when we purchased our new sofa. Considering we had our three lovely children running wild in the store and didn't bat an eye lid!

We even recommend scs to my mum, who then bought a sofa from them and I was gutted she got an earlier lead time on her sofa.

Safe to say I saw some horrible reviews about scs, but I cant fault them with anything with them so far. Fingers crossed!

Thanks again to everyone involved.

Awful service

Awful service. We ordered our sofa in January and still have not received it in June, despite paying in full! We have had 2 delivery dates which we took time off work for, with no delivery and on the first one, no contact to say it had been cancelled! We have contacted the store numerous times to simply be told they only deal with sales, however there are no options available to get further help. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

Excellent customer service

We were informed of expected delivery time the evening before and then the morning of delivery. The sofa arrived well packaged and protected and was expertly put together by the delivery staff. They were efficient and polite throughout.

Great experience

The shop staff were excellent. Delivery was on time and the men were polite and efficient. The furniture is just what we wanted. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because we had to wait so long. Ordered in January, delivered in May.

Excellent!

My whole SCS experience has been excellent from start to finish. The help and assistance I received in store when I ordered to the departure of the delivery men was first rate. My expected delivery date had been given to me as 19th May, but I got a message to say my sofas were due into the warehouse on the 8th May with delivery scheduled for me on the 9th May. I received a text message the day before to confirm delivery and on the day I had messages to confirm my hour delivery slot. There was also a link that allowed me to see where the drivers were and how many deliveries there were before me. The delivery team were very professional and friendly and took all the packaging away with them. I would award SCS 100% on ordering and delivering. Not too mention, the sofas are more comfortable than I remember them being in the showroom! Fabulous and would definitley recommend.

Staff great, after sales service appalling

The member of staff was lovely and very helpful.
BUT, I still have not got my chair, I didn't expect it to take so many months, it was on sale, so presumed in stock. Sent chase email to store but no reply. Delivery to store is free but cost far too much to deliver to my home! I will not buy from SCS again.

Good Afternoon Rachel,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

We understand your disappointment about the delay in receiving your chair and the delivery cost.

Looking into your account the order that was placed was not stock it was just a reduced price for a made to order item, we still within our contracted window to fulfil the order.

Once the furniture has arrived to our distribution centre we will be in touch to book in your delivery date.

If you have any further questions please email us at socialmedia@scs.co.uk or give us a call on 0191 731 3300.

Many Thanks

Shocking

Shocking. No stars if I had the chance. Was told in store and on order form that my new suite would be delivered by 14/03/25 at the latest. Not heard anything from SCS. I went to the store and spoke to them because customer service don’t bother getting back to us. In store they were all sat on a sofa chilling out waiting for another customer to pounce on but wasn’t interested in what I was there for. Now told end of April. That’s SIX weeks late. And that’s if it arrives by then looking at all the other shocking reviews. Wish we had gone with DFS like last time. Never ever again will I go with SCS and definitely won’t be recommending them.
****** UPDATE******
So the sofa finally arrived SIX weeks late. Really pleased with the sofa. Today I got an email asking me to do a review for SCS. I filled in the review and because I gave them a 1 star rating and explained why they emailed me back stating that they will not publish it. What a joke. A company that is afraid of the truth.

Good Afternoon Mark,

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

I am very sorry to see that you are disappointed in your order with us.
The date shown on your order document is an estimate and so we do advise that this is not a confirmed delivery date and can change.
I apologise if this was not explained when your order was placed and can understand why this may be disappointing for you.

At the moment your order is still estimated but closer to the time, and once we have a confirmed arrival date to us, then we will be in touch with the first available delivery date.

Kind Regards

Friendly staff

I call twice and on both occasions the staff could not have been more helpful.
On the second occasion when I brought the sofa the salesperson was friendly and took her time to explain everything,
