“Have very poor experience about ScS sofas. After placing order they couldn't deliver the sofa in 4 months. Finally had to cancel the order as expected delivery was changed few times. Recomend not to buy from them. See facebook complaints about them. Nobody wrote anything good about them. Rubbish company.”

“Absolutely shocking!!! I spend over £5k just so they can tell lies about my delivery date. I want the item, but I need to dispose my old sofa which takes time to arrange. My delivery date was delayed, then moved forwards, then we arranged for a future date, then they said its here so you cant change date, then they said they nothing is confirmed but will update me once confirmed, then I get a text saying its coming tomorrow!!! That leaves me no time at all to call anyone to collect old sofa!!! I already pre-empted all of this, but no they had to make life difficult for me!!! Sort your communication out and logistics! Its terrible!”

“By far the worst furniture store the UK and probably the world has! These absolute bunch of con artist cowboys take your money for cheap, bad quality products! My sofa has been repaired twice and requires further repairs from a manufacturerfault. They have broken the consumer rights act in which states a timely repair must be made, this has been on going for a year. In addition my rights for a refund less wear and tear have been refused and they want to make further repairs to the sofa! There technician's are inappropriate and unprofessional. They make inappropriate innuendos/ remarks and the last one that was here had zero faith in their products he sat here slating them! Especially the foams seats we pay for! The one before that use almost half a litre sized bottle of wood glue to repair the sofa! Like putting a bandaid on a burst water main! Cowboys. The lot of em. I've been laughed at by the customers services team, called a liar by Dawn and Jenna at HQ who are by no means professional or competent at their job! Dawn out right said if it couldn't be repaired the 2nd time i could apply for a refund. Then told me I cant have one cause she didn't say that whilst laughing down the phone! Sofa is still broken! To demonstrate their further incompetence they had to come out to repair my bowed sideboard, why, cause they'd installed it wrong! Completely ridiculous! SCS the Ryanair of the retailer world, cheap tatty and low quality. Horrendous customer service that will leave you feeling stressed, drained, anxious and depressed becaueneyou just can't get anywhere with them! I will never ever use these money stealing fiends who sell you shoddy damaged unworthy furniture and refused to follow laws or conduct! I have now reported them to trading standards and filed a section75 complaint with my finance company to resolve the issue.Re: S7777-4049984”

“I purchased a two seater sofa and when it arrived one of the leg bars was broken so they sent me a replacement and the seat cushions don't stay on the sofa and they also twist making the seats look distorted. I have contacted Scs on several occasions and emailed them without any joy. I would never buy from them again and I wish I hadn't. Hindsight is a wonderful thing”

“We visited Scs in St Helens and was helped by Jan. Jan was extremely helpful and answered all our questions without any hesitation. Due to Jan's help we went on to purchase a 3 piece suite.”

“Customer service woes The chair itself is fine but the service from Scs was appalling . It was in stock a month before I could collect it as they have no way of physically calling there stores ? It’s all by email which nobody reply’s to. They promise the store will ring and they didn’t . Not even there customer service team have a telephone number to actually reach a member of staff ? Try ringing a store , good luck it goes through to a central hub who will connect you to the store and guess what , nobody picks up the phone . Customer service was woeful but the product is ok if you can put up with the hassle of trying to actually get it .”

“Ordered suite late November 2021 with expected delivery 28 February 2022. Since due date nothing but delays in getting suite from supplier with no one at SCS customer service doing anything to address the issues except stating the obvious that delivery is repeatedly put back. Ordered and paid in good faith of agrees delivery but this means nothing to faceless customer service representative who do nothing to address your grievance”

“The WORSE customer service from any company I have ever purchased from. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!! Ordered our carpets in October for delivery and fitting in January for new house, carpets were never ordered in time so there was a 3 week delay in fitting. Held up other furniture deliveries etc. Offered a £100 good will gesture refund. 7 weeks later, still no refund and now refusing to speak on the customer service line.”

“I recently informed the readers of my problems with a £3500.00 Lazy Boy suite purchased from SCS who sell mostly Lazy Boy furniture, I have received a full refund and hope the tips below will help you do the same: 1) Your furniture will probably take up to 6 months for you to get it as it seems that everything is now made in China, but query that with the salesperson. 2) Pay the least amount of deposit as possible. 3) Pay only with a credit card as your provider is just as responsible for refunding you as SCS in the case of faulty goods. 4) An SCS technician will definitely try to fob you off with "wishy washy" reasons why there is not a fault if so do not hesitate in getting an independent inspection done. In my case this was not needed because SCS conceded there was a fault after trying to deny it after their own inspection but it would have only cost me £130.00 and you can reclaim this back if the independent report is in your favour, which it probably will be. Ignore any attempts to have repairs done or a replacement given once you have the support of an independent report in your favour. 5) If the goods are not fit for purpose and you want a full refund but are beyond the 30 day limit after receiving the same apply to your credit card Bank for " Chargeback " as this is valid for 120 days as opposed to the 30 day limit set by SCS in the case of faulty goods. You will still need an independent report to help you with a "Chargeback " claim. 6) If the aforementioned fails go straight to the Small Claims Court and I can assure you that if you have a supported case SCS will settle with you and your Court costs before the hearing date. Hope this helps.”

“Furniture insurance and warranty on a lazyboy sofa was a complete waste of money with SCS. Reclining function not working properly and following an engineer visit told not a manufacturer fault so they aren't considering the claim ?!?! Surely if it was a manufacturer fault it would be covered by a warranty anyway? Sofa isn't even 2 years old. Dog chewed through a cable....ACCIDENT...not covered but accidental cover is included. GO FIGURE! Don't waste you're money on this extra it doesn't cover anything.”
