“Don’t give your money to this company. They’re a rip off. Took £76 off my mother for someone to come out and measure her hall and stairs. Told her she’d have to put down a deposit on a quote before they would entertain arranging a visit. Now after this visit the quote she was given of £300 odd pound has jumped to £790 odds. What a joke of a company then there’s £30 delivery charge and £100 fitting seriously. To top off this abysmal customer service they have added £30 for a care kit she didn’t ask for or want. Trading standards will be contacted as it is daylight robbery will NEVER use this farce of a company again. And will be advising friends and family to steer clear also.”

“When we chose the carpet, we thought was good value at £9.99 metre, we were shown the underlays and as I did not want a bonded one, the one I chose was £9.99 per metre also. The fitters brought the underlay to fit and I noticed it was a bonded one, on looking on line the exact same underlay they have fitted is £2.87. Thanks SCS a lesson learned, prospective customers ask them to put your exact requirements on your order. Buyer beware. At 73 years old am still learning. We were pleased with the carpet fitters.”

“With SCS ads everywhere on TV, it may be a good time to remind consumers of the risks they run when using the company’s outsourced fitting service. Earlier this year they sent us a shockingly bad fitter and it took ten weeks, four room clearances, untold emails and phone calls, plus three very tense store visits to get vinyl flooring which was fit for purpose. SCS think it’s OK that we had paid full price for this abysmal experience and refused any compensation. They cynically pointed us to the Retail ADR (ombudsman service), which duly ruled the company had met its obligations under the Consumer Rights Act. Pursuing the original fitter for his relatively small share of the total cost is just not worth it. So, please be aware – once they have your cash, SCS will try to wash their hands of you even if their recommended independent fitter is hopeless.”

“Terrible. Took money. Failed.to fix sofa issue. Failed to collect faulty sofa, failed to refund money. Complete failure of a company top to bottom. Nightmare to deal with. Passed from piller to post.”

“A year after paying for a heavy duty carpet we have holes in it! Contacted scs who said it was down to toes touching the carpets on the stairs and that it was because we were walking on it. Erm yes.....it's a carpet. Now fast forwards a year and we have holes on most of the backs of the stairs and in the living room. £900 for a carpet not fit for purpose!”

“Only had sofas 6 weeks and although i appreciate i didnt pay the upgrade for the cushions, i dont believe they are fit for purpose. Both my husband and i work full time so hardly home yet the cushions have already become very flatened and when you sit on them they feel flat and bumpy. Courier was great but thats the only good thing i have to say for scs. Very didappointed with our purchase and will not shop there again or recommend them.”

“Had a three seater and two seater we took out the extra guarantee which cost an extra £249, when one of the settees started to fray contacted SCS insurance cover who said it wasn't covered as it was a fault in the material so I contacted SCS who told me I needed to pay another £75 for them to send a technician out as I had just had it over 2 years to see if it was through how we sit on our leather settees or if they decide it is a fault on there behalf I have refused to pay this as they would only make up some excuse when they come out we have now noticed the seat cushion on the other settee has started to go the same we will never buy from this company again because once they have your money there customer service skills do not exist.”

“Ordered a corner sofa which was delivered in 3 pieces for assembly. All 3 pieces damaged or faulty on some way. Most likely due to poor handling made worse by inadequate packaging. Never experienced such poor quality in a sofa purchase before. Sofa immediately rejected for a refund. Will never buy from SCS again.”

“Suite ordered in January 2018. Third suite - about 3 months wait! - delivered but with faults. Three failed attempts to repair. Technicians suggested this not unusual. After a final promise to repair within 3 weeks, now told it can't be repaired, so refund offered!!!!! Oh well, only took 9 months to get back to stage 0! Avoid this company, unless you really like calling "customer service" who will laugh at you. Presumably because you were stupid enough to buy something from them. Do yourself a favour and walk by the store.”

“Appalling service the giltbrook store kept promising to sort it out but nobody contacts you. When you ring them they put you on hold and then put the phone down, then don't answer the phone. So fed up”

“Sofa delivered broken. Supposed to be a 6-8 week wait for replacement but that has been delayed for another 4 weeks not that scs let me know. After many phone calls and emails I discover it’s because the sofa supplier went into administration. Huge mistake choosing scs. Avoid!”

“Just had hall/stair/landing and two large bedroom carpets fitted and am very pleased with the FITTERS (not the store). Paul and Richard were two of the nicest people I have ever met, they were VERY courteous and very professional people. They made a fabulous job of the fitting and i would recommend them anytime to anyone. So if your getting a fitted carpet from scs don,t forget to ask for Richard and Paul for a guaranteed perfect fitted carpet.”

“Ordered sofa and chair in March all the same colour and fabric, chair was incorrect colour. They have tried to deliver our chair three times but every time it is the wrong colour. Company have no intentions to resolve the matter, my options are to get a refund and send the items back. Time and money wasted. Never dealt with such a poor company who do not care about their customers and retaining business. Worst experience ever”

“We have not yet had our order delivered but we allready regret ever going to ScS in Harlow , to all our family and disabled friends avoid this store ,my Wife and her sister went to this store where they were served by Sue who we now know to be the store manager , when we returned to the store yesterday the 18th Sept Sue was not available , my wife paid in full for the goods , but what Sue did not tell my wife was that she was charging her £200 for insurance on one order and £75 on the other order and also another £ 50 for a care kit that She did not ask for or want , shame on Sue and ScS for employing a person who would treat a 81 year old disabled person in this manner the sooner stores like ScS are of the high street the better”
