One person was attending to all customer why a trainee was also there trying to support him even though she doesn't know what shes doing, we spent upto an hour there as a result of that and the price of the sofa we choose at the store is different from the price online, much cheaper online, anyway i paid the price online. lastly my car battery went flat as a result of me forgetting to switch off the inner light. none of the employee could help me jump start my car even my have got the kit. They finally offered to help after my friend arrived.

Good Morning Mr Apelua,

I hope you are well and thank you for your 2* Review.

I have tried calling you to discuss your concerns, sadly I was unable to speak with you, therefore I have taken this opportunity to reply to your review.

I am very sorry to read that our dedicated store staff where slow and helping you and that you were in the store for over an hour, we do hope that once you have selected your furniture the advisors are able to complete the sale as quickly as possible, unfortunately if the store is busy this can sometimes cause delays.



I have review the cost of your sofa and compared it to the price on our website for the Ferndale 2 corner 1 RHF Chaise and it is more expensive that the cost that you have been charged.

In regards to the staff being unable to assist you when your car battery went flat, they are not insured to do this in case any damaged is caused.

If we can help you any further please feel free in contact us on 0191 7313300

I hope you enjoy your weekend.

Kind Regards
Laura - ScS Social Media Team

A really pleasant experience

A really pleasant experience. Both ladies who served me went above and beyond to help with finding me equipment to finalise my purchase.
Not only did I find a quality item at a bargain price, I was served tea while doing the paperwork.

I don’t normally leave bad reviews but…

I don’t normally leave bad reviews but on this occasion I need to in order to gain scs attention. Not a single call back or reply from any emails sent.

I’ve have a sofa on order which was meant to be delivered yesterday. No contact evening before or even day of. Sat around waiting all day. Had taken the day off work and lost wages.

My mum drove to the store in the end to get some answers at 2pm to be told by Paul (stanway store) that my sofa had been picked up 1 hour before my mum had entered the store and it would be definitely delivered by the end of the day.

I then received a call at 4:45 to say that Paul had got it wrong. It was still in the store and no one was able to answer their calls about what had happened.

Not only did Paul mess up by not taking 1 minute to look at the back of the store to check if my sofa had definitely been collected. They have failed to acknowledge any form of responsibility.

I’ve been told I now have to wait till Wednesday. With no idea on a time. And to take another day off of work, on the hope it will be delivered then. Sam (warehouse operator) has booked it without any contact to check that I am available Wednesday.

Cannot get through via phones and the call back system in place, never calls back.

I have sent an email to main scs complaints and also scs CEO. In the hope someone acknowledges me.

I’m now sitting on the floor as old sofa was disposed of on the morning of my said delivery!!

***UPDATE***

Delivery was rescheduled for today Sunday 8th after store admitted their mess up. Delivery was due at at 11:30-12 (time distance between store and my home) and still not arrived. Not even a curtsy call to explain of any delay.

Awful customer service. Can’t even contact anyone to get any form of assistance. Currently on call back via customer service with a wait of 182 mins
