Their clear explanations and regular updates brought peace of mind during the process. I truly value the commitment and attention they gave to my case.”

“I recently had some serious money to spend on hi fi equipment and this company seemed to have nothing in stock. Th item would be showing as in stock until you tried to buy it then suddenly they had none. I will avoid them in future.”

“They say they will price match. Filled in an online form asking for price match but was refused even though the competitor was offering exactly the same item. False advertising?”

“Absolutely terrible! Went to the branch in Oxford to buy a tv which was advertised as sale but ended up paying a lot more. Misleading advertising and unprofessional staff!”

“Hi: bought set hi fi floor standing speakers cost nr £3000. Purchased my 948 focal being informed by richer sounds that the cambridge audio equipment was all adequate for these speakers: speakers went wrong in dec 2022 delivered them to shop which is extremely difficult due size them, we are now may 2023 and i still have no speakers: due fact they are made france: i believe u could walk the distance france and back 5 months: richer sounds use every possible excuse they can once had money they do Not provide the service you would expect when you spend big sums money: ive spent a fortune with richer sounds : 5 months to carry out a repair ? In may now 2023 maybe its the old covid excuse or the cost of importation: if you want specialist equipment with good after sales avoid richer sounds very helpful taking money :do wonder what they feel like if carried out work for them personally at there house and told them cant return for 5 months ? Be warmed they will make the sale on you: your using the equipment wrong there after: and those who no what they talking about they try to use every excuse they can i stood for hour in there shop to prove my speakers had gone wrong and all along they did not want turn the volume control on there amp above halfway ?”

“I bought a TV for a new house and did not unpack it until I had moved in, a few weeks later. Screen was then seen to be badly cracked. They refused to accept any liability (thereby accusing me of lying) and only after several emails and two telephone calls did they offer to send (as a gesture of goodwill!) a replacement if I paid a further £100 on top of the original cost of £299. I had no alternative but to accept, since the alternatives were i) for me to write off the whole £299 and buy another TV elsewhere or ii) instruct solicitors to seek reimbursement in full. Both options would have cost more than the £100 they proposed. I bought from Richer Sounds firstly, because it is a large and reputable organisation and secondly, because I had purchased from the company previously, and had no complaints. On this occasion, however, the company's behaviour has been extremely poor, and it has displayed its greedy, bullying nature. Do not use Richer Sounds, if you are looking for a company that will treat you well, if something goes wrong that is not your fault. Disgraceful after-sales customer service. Interesting to read an earlier review (Declan) which recounted an identical scenario and he apparently did receive a free replacement! Some discrimination there, I think. Richer Sounds - review and comment on our different experiences and why I am being charged for the replacement.”

“Appalling company, we would never buy from them again. They attempted to charge for delivery whereas the television was advertised as "FREE" delivery. The actual delivery was problematic throughout, the drivers were rude, unfriendly and in so much of a rush they damaged the staircase wall. Richer Sounds excuse was that deliveries times are scheduled and they don't have the time to be polite and careful in customers properties. They refused to compensate us for the damaged wallpaper say that the wall looked like bare plaster even though we are disabled pensioners incapable of doing any DIY. After much argument Richer Sounds reluctantly agreed to refund the incorrect delivery charge, adding that we could buy a tin of paint with the refund. Their moto is ""We genuinely want you to be a customer for life". Well they failed miserably in our case.”

“STAY AWAY***** Bought a 75inch TV samsung and a HK soundbar in 2019 . They gave me 5 year gurantee. Just in 2 years both tv and soundbar stopped working . We contacted them and its been 3 weeks they keep telling us parts ordered etc etc. Absolutely shocking customer service. I would stay away as when it comes to using the 5 years guarantee thing it wont help you at all.”

“I bought a Samsung TV from Richer Sounds, and it has become faulty within 6 months, and they won't replace it. I spoke with Samsung, and they advised that they couldn't repair it, but Richer Sounds won't replace or refund it. I am having to take this to my credit card company, and then small claims court which I shouldn't have the hassle of doing. Terrible customer service, and the last time I will buy from them which is a shame, as I have bought all my TV's from them.”

“We purchased our tv in March last year after shopping around. We opted for richer sounds based on a recommendation and due to their extended warranty. From the get go the tv didn’t work well, and would freeze on a regular basis. The only way to get it working again was to unplug at the mains and start again. We tried going through technical support but the problem persisted. Eventually we rang richer sounds and asked them to fix it under our warranty to be told we had to go via the manufacturer who said they’d take it away for a minimum of 7-10 days to repair it during which time we’d have no replacement. We questioned this with richer sounds who said they’d give us a courtesy tv for £200! Eventually and after much deliberation they offered to take our faulty tv as the deposit and gave us a courtesy one. Our tv is a 50” smart tv and they gave us a 32” which quite frankly looked ridiculous, but worse still when we got it home and set it up the smart features didn’t work! We rang immediately to be told they’d never give out a faulty tv and more or less accused us of lying. They also said that after a whole day of using our faulty tv there was nothing wrong with it and we’d made that up too. We told them it didn’t happen every day but might happen five times on some days, but again they were having none of it. The manager on the phone was quite frankly rude and defensive, not remotely sympathetic. We’ve driven a 20 mile round trip twice this weekend and sacrificed time with family. Who would do that if there wasn’t a problem? We’re so disappointed and feel at a loss now, and have been left with the faulty tv after all. Appalling.”
