“Absolutely furious. I received a call over two weeks ago to say my cabinet was due in the distribution centre on the 1st March. I accept that due to the snow this would probably not happen. I rang the store two days ago to be told it was not showing new date on the system but it would be looked into and I would be called back. NO I wasn't. I have rang again today to be told it is not now expected in for another two weeks. This is disgraceful service that no one has bothered to update me. In total it will be over 9 weeks waiting by the time it arrives. The snow cannot be blamed for that surely. I will definitely not be shopping there again.”

“Complained to your company after the carpet fitter stained my hall carpet due to his inability to deliver the carpet himself which I paid an additional amount for delivery to SCS. After receiving numerous late night text messages from your fitter and then Carpet cleaner person that were inappropriate and very poor customer treatment due to me complaining. Then after being told to send the complaint and text messages I have been ignored and told to take up with Carpet fitter who you recommend who is totally inappropriate . Do maybe your customers need to be made aware of your poor service let’s see how many customers I can share this experience with .”

“I went in at Xmas to get a carpet, spoke to a lady and got a good quote. Was really happy with the price and was told a nice man would call me on the morning letting me know rough time of when he would arrive. On the last appointment i phoned in the morning to check the man was coming, the usual he will call 1 hour before. I waited until 4pm no call! So i called up, asking if he was coming and they said he had cancelled. What gets me so annoyed is they are so incompetent that no one even calls me to let me know! They just say sorry, which is not good enough. I have spent 3 days waiting for a carpet man who never came, it cost me 2 days of wages which is nearly as much as the carpet cost. No compensation from SCS. SCS may be cheap, but they don’t do the basics right. 1. They don’t pick up the phone when you call 2. They don’t send confirmation emails of appointments 3. When you rearrange an appointment they make the mistake and don’t even book it, so I waited all day for someone who was not coming 4. They cannot tell you if the appointment will be in the morning or afternoon, so you just waste a day not knowing, in this day and age, surely its not hard to tell someone when the appointment will be. Every other company can do this. 5. They don’t even have the decency to tell you the appointment has been cancelled so you wait around for someone who is not even coming, just plain rude! My worst retail experience ever, incompetence at every stage. I am now glad i am not going with them, god knows what other problems i would have had if i got the carpet fitted! Avoid them like the plague”

“I ordered 3 Lazy boy chairs, and 2 were faulty on delivery. I have been waiting over 2 weeks after the assessor came out and I am getting no information or updates and nothing has been done to sort out my faulty chairs. There is a lack of communication between the aftercare team, who you log the fault with and the store and no-one rings me to update upon the situation. When I questioned why I was having to make the enquiries i was informed that staff are far too busy to ring customers with updates. I am constantly ringing and no one can give me any answers and what is being done. Maybe you should not have so many faulty products then you would have time to ring the customers who do have faults back!!! Would never use again.”

“My mum is disabled and after I persuaded her to spend 1500 on a new settee as the old one wasn’t giving her the support she needed, we have had trouble since day one! We complained to say it was faulty straight away, and after many calls, and complaining I asked for a second opinion from an inspector at head office who came out and stated the suite was faulty on so many levels, then a week later my mum received a letter from head office stating there is nothing wrong with the suite! How do these people Sleep at night! I can’t tell Anyone how angry and frustrated I am! I am currently now speaking to trading standards and the credit card company so will Get it sorted, but I wouldn’t touch this company with a barge pole! How they can take 1500 from a disabled pensioner and do nothing at all after is beyond me!!!”

“Sofas and chair delivered and the three seater sofa is poorly stitched. We had them send a fully qualified technician, apparently a seamstress as well who tell us not a Manufacturing fault and that is the end of the matter. I intend to reject the goods as faulty and if needs be will pursue via the small claims court”

“I really hoped all the bad reviews weren’t true, but oh yes they are. 2 sofas ordered early December. Phone call from ScS last week to arrange delivery for this week. A day before the delivery date another phone call saying the sofas had been delayed and they were not sure when we would get them. Promised to ring us back in a couple of days with a delivery date (yeah like that’s going to happen). How can they ring us to arrange delivery if the sofas aren’t ready? Somebody, somewhere needs a little training on planning techniques. Probably needs training on telling the truth also. Based on previous reviews of how ScS delay delivery I’m not hope that we’ll see the sofas anytime soon. I’ve now got to cancel the removal of our old sofas and lose the money paid up front for this. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY, believe the bad reviews, they’re clearly true.”

“Consumer Rights Act 2015 says Goods should be fit for the purpose supplied but My #GPlan sofa from #SCS Sofas isn't! Silence is the response from SCS sofas & G Plan so how does a formerly reputable company like G Plan become tangled up with a company like SCS Sofas?”

“Do not touch this company with a barge pole, I totally sympathise with all these negative reviews...... still trying to sort a delivery date out with a guarantee that I'll be in for the full 12 hour window to receive and pay for the privilege after spending thousands with them! Vote with your wallets and purses people.”

“My mother purchased a 3 x 2 seater sofas on the 8 th October, she paid cash and was told they would be delivered the 18th December ready for Christmas. The furniture didn't arrive! They then said they had lost the furniture and it would need to be reordered and would be ready in the middle of February. Bear in mind my mother is severely disabled and was left over Christmas with no furniture and wasnt offered a replacement. The furniture eventually arrived on the 7 th Feb 2018 one was cream and one was brown!!! Now waiting for a refund which is proving horrendous and are getting fobbed off with excuses. I have never come across a firm like it in my life.”

“Carpet worn after a few weeks. Said it is normal wear and tear only myself and husband and we are very careful with our home and belongings. It is the worst carpet I have ever had in 50 years as a home owner. I will never get another thing out of this shop. Now I know why the shop is so quiet wish I had known beforehand.”

“Waited three weeks for carpet, carpet fitter arrived this morning with the wrong colour carpet. Complained to SCS Swansea to be told the carpet we ordered 4 weeks ago is out of stock. Went to the store to speak to the manager who was very unhelpful and rude. He told us that this has never happened before, which we laughed at. He told us we could pick another carpet and pay the difference because they do not pay compensation. We are now with no carpet in two bedrooms, hall, stairs and landing thanks to SCS. Requested refund for carpets and sofa but was ignored and advised to come back tomorrow to see if we could have discount on the carpet but will be going for a refund and wont be leaving the store without it.”

“Do not buy from ScS. I bought a four seater sofa from them that I was told (in front of a witness) was a new type of leather called ‘Endurance’. When I questioned what this actually was I was told it was leather mixed with a bond that made it 100% stronger than leather on it’s own. The leather peeled so quickly, I had an independent company in who tested the swatch and then the material that actually covers the sofa. Turns out that the swatch (the part that would be tested by insurance) is partial leather but the actual covering on the sofa isn’t. A total con and lie from ScS. I notice they are now advertising Endurance as ‘leather look’ rather than real leather as they were originally. I will be seeking legal advise.”

“Where do I start?, appalling customer service, nobody will offer any help when things go wrong, my problem was with carpets, Ipswich store tell me the issue I had should be sorted by the fitters, the fitters tell me that it is a store issue, customer services were worst of all, put the phone down on me when due to total exasperation I raised my voice a little. If only I could make sure that nobody buys anything from this store ever.”

“Will never purchase from SCS again, mis-sold insurance cover which I have now requested to be cancelled 5 times with no positive outcome. Customer service is shocking, they tell you any old rubbish to try keep you sweet. They offer no actual help with any issues you have and are avoiding cancelling my insurance policy at all costs!! I am paying £160 for something I never asked for and told the sales person I did not require. My sofa also arrived 2 months later than the date they told me it would be ready for, to which I had no proper explanation as to why. Each time I contacted them, they fobbed me off with something new. Do not buy from SCS, I am outraged at the money they have had out of me!!”

“We will never use SCS again following the most terrible customer service. I can forgive things going wrong (In our case the stuffing in one arm collapsed) BUT what is unforgivable is the disgraceful and uncaring customer service. A man turned up to view the damage and agreed that there was a problem and that he would submit a report. That was the last we heard of them. Several visits to the store brought no luck at all. Try asking for the name of a Senior Manager and you will get laughed out of the shop. Once they have your money that is the end of the relationship. Customer service phone line constantly engaged. Possibly the worst company I have had the misfortune to deal with. Horrible. I suspect the Directors are sitting smugly in their millionaire pads laughing at us suckers and whilst the company currently deliver a considerable EBITDA I suspect the wheels will fall off at some stage. You cannot continue to treat customers so shabbily.”
