Corner suite delivery

Delivery received as advised on time, driver and crew very good, polite and delivered and assembled with no fuss. Explained the assembly and all key points, were respectful of my home.

The quality of ScS staff.

On the initial visit to the showroom to view what was on offer the sales person was very helpful, so much so that we ordered what we wanted there and then.
When we thought the delivery date was imminent we made enquiries and the dates given were accurate.
On the day of delivery we were kept up to date with progress of the delivery vehicle, and when the vehicle arrived because of unforeseen circumstance
delivery was difficult but the delivery guys got on with the job. In spite of the problems they were very efficient, polite and care as they assembled the furniture. Two top guys.

Great

Choosing was the hardest thing to do, but once settled the rest was easy and stress free, thanks to the store, delivery drivers and all communication. Ordering was easy, the information flowed, delivery was spot on.
The seats in now and looks as expected unblemished, the 2 drivers called to say they were coming early, great, installed, tested and cleared up. Brilliant

Scs sofas

What can I say Terrible company What you see in the shop isn’t what you get . Payed £3000 for a 3 and 2 seater sofa and footstool even upgraded to a better leather . Day one and my sofa looks like it’s years old cheap made and poor quality. Guess what had the technician out after waiting 4 weeks and no manufacturer fault found

Good Morning Kaye,

I hope you are well and thank you for taking the time to leave us your review.

I am very sorry to see that you are disappointed in the quality of your furniture.
We can appreciate that this must have been upsetting for you, especially if the outcome following the technician visit is not what you may have hoped for.
As the technicians are highly trained in the furniture that we offer we would stand by their report.
If you do need to discuss anything further then please send us a screenshot of your review, along with your order number or address and postcode to socialmedia@scs.co.uk.

Kind Regards,

Went out of there way to lie to us…

Went out of there way to lie to us promising ( even when told about tight access ) we have the best delivery team and wouldn’t be a problem and if they can’t get it in they have someone to send round and sort , to be told we have to pay £150 for this service and it’s not there problem we own it and should of read the small print . So be very carefull when buying from these

P. S anybody can write cover reply but it doesn't take away from blatant lies from scs sales team s and it's a bit late for to avoid damage we now have the colour of the settee on 2 walls where they got it stuck so the settee yove took back must have white paint on. It's seams commission and sales come 1st for scs

Good Morning Steven,

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

I am very sorry to see that the crew were unable to deliver your furniture as expected and we can understand how disappointing this must have been for you.
The crew will always aim to deliver into your room of choice however if they feel that the furniture will not fit then they will advise on your options. This is to prevent any damage to the furniture or to your home.

We advise that it is a customers responsibility to measure the chosen furniture against the access points within your home to ensure successful delivery on the day as if an upholsterer is required then any costs would be direct to yourself.

Should you need to discuss anything further then you can reach the store directly on 0191 375 1020.

Many thanks

Delivery charges exorbitant

The friendliness of the staff was really good and the recliner I bought is also good but your treatment of customers wanting to collect their furniture to save the exorbitant price you charge for delivery was disgraceful. I was told it was a single charge of £117 but when I refused they said I could collect but then made a phone call and said it wasn't allowed which is a lie but then made a special offer to charge £70 delivery so much dodging and diving I don't trust any of your staff. If this is how you do business I won't be coming back.

Top lads

From popping into the show room, to delivery, fabulous service. The gent in Durham showroom was lovely, helpful, and we bought a ex display sofa, and ordered 2 chairs made to match. The sofa arrived today, (chais to follow) the delivery lads Robert and Kai are top lads, looking forward to seeing them again when the chairs are ready!

Happy customer

Delivery staff did very well getting a very large and heavy settee exactly where I wanted it despite an awkward manoeuvre through the doors. They took great care to ensure no damage to door frame and paintwork.

Couch is Great! Shame on delivery's attitude.

We ordered our new Sofa through Durham branch. That was easy enough, great customer service and kept upto date with progress. Sofa itself is great! No complaints. My only one is fact my wife rang me at work to say one of the delivery staff had told her can she get our dog (German Shepherd) to shut up cause the barking was going right through him. Our dog was locked in his cage whilst delivery was being done & he will bark with 2 strange men in his home around my wife and son. End of day hes there to protect. Next time if he wishes to visit and say it to myself, I'm more than happy to open the cage door instead to see how quick he can run to the gate.
