Hassle free browsing in the store. Once help was needed, the salesperson was very helpful and explained everything clearly. Was given date of delivery in July, it turned up late June, brilliant.... See more

Everything was great apart from being given a delivery date only to have it cancelled with no explanation and then waiting weeks for it to be delivered. Shop staff and delivery guys all good.

Appalling customer service as not…

Appalling customer service as not contactable. No delivery either. Should have been 29/11/24. No idea what’s going on. Went into the Swindon shop last Sunday who said they’d call me personally by end of Monday, obviously not!!
Requesting a refund of the deposit as a total shambles and do not want to give them any more of my money. One unhappy customer to go along with so many others I can see.

Great service when buying zero after

Great service when agreeing purchase but then left hanging as to when we will recieve the purchase, you call customer support and hold times are ridiculous and your told that any customer agents cannot do anything regards delivery dates and times which is a joke. No branch telephone contact numbers available on Web site so all in all NOT a great experience at all and still haven't recieved sofa's

Good Afternoon Mrs Collins,

I hope you are well and thank you for your 3* review.

Firstly, I am glad to hear you had a positive experience in store.

I am very sorry you have had no updates on your order. Looking into this, I can see your goods are estimated to arrive into our distribution centre on 20/12/24. I must advise this is not a confirmed date as of yet. We are still waiting for a definite date from the manufacturer. As soon as we have this, we will be in contact to arrange your delivery.

I am so sorry for any inconvenience caused by this.

If you have any further questions or need any additional help please contact us on 0191 731 3300 or email socialmedia@scs.co.uk and we will be happy to help.

In reply to your message

In reply to your message, I was assured by your sales manager at the Swindon store, deliveries would be MADE by Christmas, the store had HUGE posters stating Christmas delivery, and this was back in September, for which I took a photo, I explained I needed my sofa by 12/12/24 for which your staff said YES i would get it by that date. I then took a photo of your tracking system when it was up and running saying, due in your distribution centre on 12/12/24. For which I except, thinking I would get it a couple of days after that date. Your sales team tricked me into spending my money, they asked me No questions on estimated delivery dates, nor did they tell me of the small print on the second page of the sales ticket saying, delivery could be 4 weeks either way, of the estimated date. But there again I'm a pensioner and they saw me coming, they must of thought we won't mention this to her.
As I stated I will never buy from scs again nor, recommend you. I will have to wait for my sofa to be delivered if you fail as to what the contract states, I will ask and I'm entitled to a refund. ALSO the telephone number you ask us to phone comes threw as SPAM. So I guess I won't get a telephone call as I'm a pensioner and my calls are protected. So I guess you will have to email me, for which you don't do.

Furniture part of it would not get upstairs it would have if arm was taken off now I have to pay for an apholsterer to take it apart maybe just the arm and put together again could help if when it was delivered more time was spent on rectifying the problem at my home and not just taking it away bit of far thought would help and I would not have to wait again to get my sofa in and have to pay extra for upholster

Good Morning Rosemary,

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

I am very sorry that your delivery did not go as expected on the day.

If the delivery crew deem the furniture as non-fit then they will advise of this to ensure that there is no damage caused to your furniture or to your home.

If an upholsterer is required then it would be at an additional cost to yourself.

Should you need to discuss your delivery then please contact us on 0191 7313300.


Kind Regards

I would give no stars if I could

I would give no stars if I could. Shocking I placed an order in Aug 24 it's now December. Still no furniture or update, can't get through on phone over 3 hours wait time, sorry I work for a living and can't sit around waiting for someone to answer phone. Unable to track online as its not working. Have filled out customer complaints form but if they not got back to me in a week I'm off to Swindon store and they can bloody well refund my money in full. Not good enough. scs you reading this? You need to contact every single customer that is waiting. Poor .So it's now 26th December and still no sofa chair or tables, told they were due in 20th and they were delivering until 24th but still nothing. Reading other reviews is very worrying. Most people having same problems. What the hell is going on scs. No furniture, delays to delivery. No explanations. Just bog standard stupid replies to these reviews of screen shot review and we will look into it. You know what scs, I'm coming in store for a full refund .

Customer Service

When the visited the store we were met by friendly staff - the young lady that assisted us was polite and didn’t pressure us to making any decisions. We were given space to find the sofa we liked and was assisted in choosing and purchasing our new sofa - we are awaiting it to be delivered.

Great delivery guys. Both Adrian and Ryan were exceptional! I was in awe of how they got my new sofas through the doorways and into my lounge. No stress no drama and respectful of property. Very well done, thank you

Superb quality, great staff!

The sales staff in Swindon branch were brilliant! Very helpful and delivered excellent customer service. Alex is an asset to your company.

Delivery times are longer than normal, partly down to import and customs delays getting from Italy to UK, but these sofas are hand built to a high standard and excellent quality. An extra wait was no issue for us.

Upon delivery, Rich & Dean were superb! Despite a challenging delivery, (these sofas are huge!) they were both undeterred and we managed to come up with solutions to get the sofa into the house. Both really good guys. Thanks so much!

I brought my father who is vulnerable…

I brought my father who is vulnerable into the shop and he placed an expensive order with you for furniture. We were given an indicative delivery date and then heard nothing when that date arrived. I needed to call to be told it was delayed two weeks, I then received an SMS 2 days before the due date telling me it would be delivered so I paid to get the old sofa collected, I then received an SMS telling me that this order date could not now be honored and no update on the new date. A £1300 order and no idea when it is being delivered and meanwhile he will be left with no furniture - not good enough. I also cannot get through to your customer service line and webchat isn't working. There is no direct number for the store!

Today I received a letter suggesting you have problems with both your phone lines and and your systems, are you in financial difficulties? The email doesn't tell me anything of use, just that you are having problems!! You have offered to cover £30 which is the fee we have paid to collect my fathers sofa but this really doesn't help his situation at all!
