“my mother who is 89 years of age bought a tv with a six year warranty of richer sounds which is now broke with 18 months warranty left .it is now in for repair. and has just been told they cant get the parts to repair it for maybe months. the only thing they can suggest is for her to by another tv and when her tv is repaired take it back for a refund. she is 89 with not a lot of money RICHER SOUNDS ARE A ABSOLUTE DISGRACE PLEASE DONT NOT BUY FROM THERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE TREATED THIS WAY”

“They used to be the cheapest in the UK selling quality products at low prices but now they're the same as Currys and every other electrical shop”

“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.”

“I purchased a TV from Richer Sounds end of November in their "Black Friday" sale* for a room which was being decorated in December. Once Xmas was out of the way I opened and set up the new TV for use in early January. The picture was poor as blacks were not displaying and contrast was too low. As such I called Richer Sounds after sales customer help line as was hoping for some technical assistance. I explained the issue to the less than happy customer adviser. I did not receive any technical assistance re picture settings etc. at all and was solely asked to confirm if I was unhappy with the purchase, which I did. I was then told only option would be a 15% restocking fee + paying courier fee (as was purchased online) to return the TV for credit note, not for refund (I actually wanted to exchange for a different TV set). The TV was as new and I still had all of the packaging. Further, and to make matters worse, I stupidly believed the prices in Richer Sounds Black Friday sale* would be the lowest they offer but today I checked the TV on the Richer Sounds website and saw they are selling it for £50 less than they were in the Black Friday sale*. So all in all I bought a TV which was not fit for purpose, then received zero technical assistance and then on trying to return the TV (just over 30 days due Xmas period) was told would be 15% restocking fee plus courier fee. John Lewis would never. AVOID Richer Sounds and shop with John Lewis for a FAR (x 1 million) more pleasant and professional experience. * for 'sale' read 'price increase'”

“Shopped with Richer Sounds for over 20 years now, each year the service has gotten noticeably worse. In days gone by they were easily the cheapest and offered the best guarantees but many other shops now offer similar packages. What's gone down hill awfully though is the customer experience and the after sales, want to demo a £1,000 TV, no, because they won't open a box, trial a 4k TV with an SD source, no. Find a fault with the tv, spend months emailing customer service who take a week to respond and just ignore all of your comments in the last mail, yes. It's a real shame but Richer have finally turned into their competitors.”

“Decided to buy new TV. Knew what we wanted and went to local branch to order. Lee very quickly sorted out the order. Few days later advised when TV in store and picked up with help provided taking TV from shop to car. Had problem setting up TV. Dan from shop walked 10 minutes to our house from the shop to assist. Dan helped us out, saved us a lot of time and effort. Didn't leave until all up and working. Exceptional efficient, friendly service much appreciated.”

“Poor Scanning Sensitivity I recently purchased the Tibo 1435 DAB tuner, my former Denon FM/AM tuner developing faults after 25 year’s service. Whilst the sound quality is good, it is often affected by what seems to be a weak DAB signal in my area and reception is prone to interference even though it receives its signal via a roof-mounted, omni-directional DAB aerial. Even after performing a factory reset the auto scanning system will not pick up BBC national stations or even my local BBC radio station (Stoke). It will, however, pick up BBC stations in Derby, Liverpool, Hereford & Worcester and even BBC Wales. I can only receive BBC national stations, 1,2,3, etc, by means of manual tuning. Furthermore, when eventually manually tuned to a national station it will not store them on any of the nine preset buttons. The unit, of Chinese manufacture, comes with no comprehensive user instructions and one has to resort to a poorly written online booklet. Anyone considering a new tuner should give the Tibo 1435 a wide berth.”

“Talking to my neighbor the other day and I remembered Richer Sounds. Nearest branch to me these days seems to be the Southgate one so I popped in for some new headphones. It's a lot newer these days and loads of TVs but the service I remember was still there. Good prices and helpful staff, glad to see things are still being done the right way in some high Street stores.”

“Originally purchased an AG9 which went faulty after 3 days so decided to swop it for a 55xg9505 instead as i wasn't too keen on oled jitter, so I'd previously spoke to the store who said they had 1 new one in stock, went to the store to collect it and noticed it had an lg laminated advertisement stuck to the box which was removed promptly didn't think anything of it, got the tv home started to unpack first thing noticed the mains lead and plug were not wrapped up including the cable tie retainer already clipped inside the back of the tv dead giveaway already, then thought cannot be bothered going back to the store this was my 4th trip already, then started to unwrap the screen which the blue little tape tabs were damaged so it's obviously been peeled off already and then fingerprints on the screen lol, by this point i thought I'd keep it if there was no damage to screen and the fact i got the tv £100 cheaper with a discount code and the fact it has a 6 year warranty, but i will not be making anymore purchases from sounds if this is standard practice.”

“Awful service. Bought an LG 43 inch TV on the 12th Sept, arranged set up 23th. Did not like the look of the set compared to my Samsung series 4 40 inch. The LG also refused to work with my hdmi cable and aerial connection. Reboxed it as new with all packaging but told by Chris the Chester shop manager that he would deduct 15 percent off my refund. The item was as new but he claimed that it was now classed as used as it had been taken out of taken he box. The small print is very misleading and is not in the customers favour. Great at selling things but awful at taking things back. Judging by other reviews they seem to be an awful company to deal with. The manager seemed to be making the rules up as he went along. Going to the shop things day to thrash it out. Paul on their service desk advised it's managers discretion to fully refund. I fully intend to escalate things today pending my visit to the shop.
