“Service? Catastrophic. Sofa? Soaked. I want to share my daughter's experience with SCS so other customers know what to expect. She ordered a sofa on 3rd March with a promised delivery time of 8–10 weeks. What followed was months of delays, four failed delivery dates, and eventually they delivered the wrong sofa on 28 August. After that, the replacement delivery was delayed three more times, and yesterday when it finally arrived, the delivery team walked mud through the home, and the sofa itself arrived soaked through and completely unusable. She has spent months chasing this up, rearranging her schedule, and dealing with damaged goods and damage to her property. These events have caused significant disruption, inconvenience, and stress over several months. The ongoing handling of her complaint has been unsatisfactory, and does not reflect the scale of the issues or the breach of the Consumer Rights Act (ie. failure to deliver goods in the timeframe agreed, failure to deliver items as described, failure to deliver items of satisfactory quality). I believe this case highlights serious concerns about SCS’s delivery standards, product quality control, and after-sales support. My daughter's complaint continues and I do hope SCS take it seriously and resolve it properly. P.S. If Shakil promises to call you, don't hold your breath because he won't.”

“The level of customer service from this company is horrendous. I was supposed to receive delivery two days ago. Took the day off work and waited in all day, no one showed up. No call, no text, no email. No communication at all. I have then spent all day yesterday getting passed about between call centre and store, no one helping at all, not a single person taking ownership. Instead, getting told that I cant even cancel the order due to their ineptitude as the contract says they have a 4 week leeway period from the date of confirmed delivery. That is ridiculous. I finally get through to the distribution centre today who promised me they would send the sofa today. I told them I was due to get my old couch uplifted today and asked if it was definitely coming as I would rather not be left without a couch all weekend. I was assured it would definitely be delivered this afternoon and I would receive a call from the drivers. I actually believed them and carried on with the uplift. No word from them for the last 5 hours and back to not answering the phone. So now i now have no sofa in my house and no idea when i will get the new one. This is the worst experience I have had with any company in my life.”

“Their warranty technician left me humiliated, the sofa is unusable after 2 years, aftercare is appalling and even knowing the situation they want more money from me to pay another technician to come out. But the last technician has left me traumatised as a disabled person and I don’t want to be put in that position again. Yet SCS think it’s acceptable to do that and to leave me with a sofa that is making my disabilities worse. They refuse to help, won’t reply unless I pay yet more money out. Awful experience! A disabled person being accused of jumping on the recliner foot rests….i can barely walk most days never mind jump.”

“Delivered a faulty suite. No accountability whatsoever. I have been to the Ombudsman, no joy. Trading Standards and watchdog next. Disgusting customer service!”

“Reported a single issue on delivery. Within a few weeks had some major issues. Then whilst waiting for a repair tech (took another 5 weeks) had even more issues. Sunken and uneven seats, sunken backs. Sofa looks 10 years old after a few weeks. Worst sofa I have ever had. I will be taking this to the ombudsman. I will never buy from SCS again.”

“My sofas were barely a week old when I started having issues. Frames creaking. No support in the springs or cushions. Scs don't want to know. Customer service is almost impossible to get through to and when you do they just fob you off. Not even a year old and I'm having to replace them as they are not fit for use. Avoid scs”

“ScS Sofas – false advertising, arrogant customer service and zero accountability I ordered a sofa from ScS after seeing their clear advertisement promising “delivery before Christmas.” Shortly after placing the order, the listing was changed to delivery after Christmas, even though the original advert clearly stated otherwise. When I raised this issue, ScS offered an explanation blaming their supplier, claiming that the delay was “beyond their control.” However, this does not excuse the fact that the advertisement was misleading and no proper update or apology was provided to customers who ordered in good faith. When I contacted customer service, Jamie was arrogant and dismissive, showing no interest in resolving the matter. Instead of helping, he made the experience even more frustrating. To make things worse, ScS suddenly changed the finance instalment amounts, then later denied any changes had been made. This is not only unprofessional but also potentially unfair trading behaviour. Since then, my follow-up messages have been completely ignored. There has been no accountability, no resolution, and no customer care whatsoever. I will be escalating this matter through every possible channel, including the Ombudsman and regulatory authorities, to ensure ScS is held responsible for misleading advertising, poor conduct, and unfair treatment. A truly disappointing experience – I would strongly advise others to avoid ScS Sofas.”

“First delivery was cancelled with no explanation or follow up delivery , considering the delivery time was from 7am , i had to physically go into the shop to get any answers , the rearranged date came and they arrived , very negative from the start about it not fitting, considering the old sofa was a large dfs jumbo corded corner , so I had to go back again to the shop, and I now have to wait for them to try again .. joke of a company , It'll be my first and last time buying .. if I could give less than 1 star I would”

“We ordered 2 four seater sofas (Ontaro 580) and a foot stool in the same colour. When they were delivered the foot stool was the correct colour however the two four seater sofas were completely a different colour (Ontaro 540) ! We called the same day of delivery when we began opening them and sent them WhatsApp photos which clearly demonstrated the colour was the wrong colour. 6 weeks later after so many stressful calls to their customer service team and putting it into writing with photos we still were no further forward. We kept being told they were ‘going back to the manufacturer’, we were still no further forwards and were offered £154 from the manufacturer for a ‘shade difference’ -we of course declined this as it was a completely different colour not a shade difference. In the end we drove a 200 mile round trip from our home in Oxfordshire to the store in Harlow where we placed the order with one of the sofa cushion - at our own expense. The stores manager agreed the manufacturer had indeed delivered the wrong colour and wrote to the customer service team outlining this. After not hearing for a further week we called them to ask for this to be resolved. It still took a further week before finally SCS offered either a refund or for us to deselect a different sofa as the ‘no longer worked with the manufacturer’. We of course opted for a refund as I would NEVER EVER purchase from this company again! It took a further two weeks for SCS to uplift these items from our home and another 4 days following us calling again to request the refund.”

“I bought 2x 2 seater settes and a separate chair just short of 2 years ago. The chair cushion has sagged really bad definitely not comfy any more and looks shocking.., alas SCS don't want to know only to send a technician out at a price of a £75..as if he's going to side with the customer...I doubt very much. My last suite lasted 15 years I expected this one too...don't waste your well warned money on SCS... luckily found a an upholsterer who said the filling is really sub stranded and will right it for £46. Thank god there are some decent retailers out there”

“Absolutely disappointed with my SCS sofa. I paid £1700 (some on interest free credit). Delivered 19th June 2025 and the sofa is already sagging where I sit - and material loose and sagging. 2 seater electric reclining and each seat doesn't line up with the other. Technician been - what a letdown! The mechanics work OK and he felt the sinking foam seats weren't a problem. I will be taking this further. I'm not someone who usually leaves reviews but felt I should. If I could give no stars I would.”

“Paid over £3000 for a reclining sofa and chair thinking I was getting good quality furniture. After a year was crease wrinkled and saggy. Complained to SCS as I was paying over 4 years and didn’t want to carry on paying for this rubbish. After many emails and being ignored all they suggested was sending someone out to assess it at a cost of £60! Absolutely disgraceful customer service and quality. I will NEVER purchase from them again. Still paying for a sofa and chair I no longer have as it was so disgusting. Got far superior from DFS and over £1000 cheaper. I am absolutely disgusted that I have 2 more years to pay on an inadequate and horrible set of furniture”

“Disgusting company our sofas have never been fit for purpose now going through small claims court we will NOT leave this! Don’t expect your sofas to last more than a few weeks before they start sinking! The material is disgusting! And to try and dirt it out to get money back from SCS just don’t bother that’s why we’ve gone to court.”

“I was in a terrible spot after being unable to recover my lost funds. It felt like no one could help me — until I met Mr. Erin and his team. They were calm, clear, and incredibly supportive from the first message. They had a real plan, and their instructions were so easy to follow. What I appreciated most was their constant communication. They made me feel heard. And in the end, I got every cent back. I’m beyond grateful.”
