“We have had a really bad service from SCS and would never buy anything from them again. Our living room carpets were delayed meaning we had to move into our new home with no carpets after being assured that they would be all fitted in time for our move in. The carpet fitters took chunks out of our brand new doors and skirting boards and. The quality of the carpets and underlay is shocking. We were promised compensation that took 3 months to get it. The dining room chairs were all marked when they were delivered and 2 months later we are still waiting for the replacement chairs. SCS are not interested once you have signed the paper work. They change the delivery day to what ever suits them. They are the worst company I have ever bought from and would never use them again.”

“I had a gut feeling when I entered SCS in Derby that something was going to go wrong .We ordered carpet , sofa and chairs, waited 4 months . Carpet fitted first , paid £160 and a further £40 as fitted said internal doors needed to be cut to fit over carpet , doors where ruin we could put our hands under the bottom of them , could not even shut them , spray glue all over newly painted skirting boards, carpet looked a complete mess. We have had it replaced and fitted by a reputable carpet supplier , experienced carpenter said doors needed fitting with draught strips . Three weeks later sofa delivered, only to have feet snapped of chair trying to get through doors more chips on paintwork. Complete nightmare. I wished I had took notice of my gut feeling .”

“The furniture you receive is of very poor quality and to a minimum comfort specification! The furniture you receive WILL NOT be of showroom quality standards. Shop somewhere else if you want furniture that lasts more than five minutes.”

“Appalling customer service. No communication regarding your order that gets delayed and delayed. Then on day of delivery you hear nothing and when you speak to customer service they hang up on you. Aftercare is no better, part of my order didn't turn up and I have had to argue my case - even when I paid for them. Terrible and wish I had never brought from them.”

“Do NOT purchase from ScS Do NOT purchase from ScS We ordered a 3x seater and a love chair in the Chelsea range on the 28th December 2021. The manager Sean Bithell at the whitecity branch in Manchester took the details down of our sofa and gave us the delivery date of 25th March 2022. We understand that this is an estimation and in THEIR policy, it states that delivery could be 4 weeks before or after this date. This would mean that we would be expecting it at the very most end of April. We tracked the sofas online only to be told that the date had been forwarded to 4th April, then 11th April and then 23rd May !!! It was our sons first birthday party on the 7th May and as embarrassing as it was for us, we had NO sofas for our elderly guests to sit on. We had to make do with deck chairs. We then get a message to say that these sofas will be delivered on the 30th May. Surprise surprise, 30th May turns up and we get another date for the 6th June. Today is the 6th June, the sofas have finally arrived after 6 months!! But just another thing, the lovechair isn’t what we ordered, it came with no diamontes like we had asked for and it came with silver feet, when we had asked for black. Now I have these two sofas in my living room, that look very odd ! Speaking to the aftercare team, they advised that they’d get the new parts sent out after their technician looks into the issue. We would then have to phone back to arrange for someone to fit these parts on. So how long will this take now ? We waited 6 months for these sofas that me and my husband were genuinely very excited for, but they turn out not as expected. We lodged a complaint in store with Becky and were told that it’s the distribution centre that’s at fault and they would get back to us on the 30th May. We received no update! Appalling service, safe to say we will never be purchasing from here again. Please invest your money and time elsewhere. We ordered furniture from furniture village and BensonsforBed which both came in the allocated timeframe, so ScS can’t even blame covid or brexit for this !”

“took delivery of a sofa and two arm chairs a week ago, costing £6000 the recliners are defective and feel as if they are about to snap whilst in normal use , spoke with customer services and their next available slot to repair them is 7th July, when the sofa was sold to us we were told their service was second to none, however this to me is appalling service , they seam happy to sell you an item but not so keen to repair it”

“Shocking customer service. Delivery now overdue by 3 months. I’ve received two pieces of my three piece suite. When I asked for a refund having waited for 6 months they told me I could only get a refund on the piece which hasn’t arrived and with no delivery date. I set out to buy a three piece and now have a useless two piece suite”

“Still waiting fivemonths two weeks. Four delivery dates cancelled at the last moment. They arrange dates which they know they wont honour but because of the small print terms are you are unable to have a refund of your money They are are nothing short of con men! I am a 76 year old single woman and have been met with nothing but rudeness. No apology from the person at Grimsby store when my Grandson took me back to complain.”

“I ordered a carpet in October 2020 it was due to be delivered and fitted on 12 November the carpet fitter failed to walk to the front door just shouted from the back gate then drove away. I arranged another fitting, they didn’t turn up finally in the December someone came and ‘fit’ the carpet. It was not flush to the stairs, I complained in writing no response. After hours on hold over various days I went into the local store. I man claiming to be the manager arranged a refit and said he’d call me. No call, I went to the store again and met the manager not the boy pretending to be the manager. 3 months later the carpet was refit, again it was not flush and this time it was fraying in the corners and cut too small in places. After an online inspection a replacement carpet was ordered, it was fit too short and fraying again. Finally this year the carpet was replaced for the second time it’s still not perfect. The customer service has been appalling I’ve had to chase at every stage. Calls weren’t returned, the 2nd inspection report was 6 weeks late and I have not received a call to see if the latest carpet is ok.”

“A lot of miscommunication and increasing costs. Job was done but the contractors made a lot of mess on two floors, left a lot of extra carpet for us to clear, fitting was done very poorly , glue is already started sticking out, there is a lot of gap between stair nose and carpet which is disaster waiting to happen. Very dissapointed”

“WARNING Worst carpet and sofa place around. Order a carpet delayed it two time. Carpet fitter are self-employed and are really bad at their job. See photos My two chairs I ordered have been delayed twice aswell that's five months now. Customer service never ring you back when they say, so you have to ring them back.”

“Had our lazy boy sofa delivered 9 days ago but the recliner wouldn't work so they took it back saying that someone would be in touch in 48 hours. Heard nothing so called again and told I would hear something in 72 hrs, heard nothing again so called them again today and was told the store would call me back and guess what? No call but they still have our money but we have no chair an no one has the decency to even call us back, what ever happened to customer service , none existent at SCS stay clear !”

“I walked into your Chelmsford store and was welcomed by a member of staff. I was told to walk around and tell him if I liked any sofa. I choose a sofa and went back to the member of staff. He called over a lovely lady called Jackie. I showed her the sofa I liked. Jackie went through everything I wanted to know with me, in a very professional and knowledgeable way . (I purchased that sofa ) . Jackie is assert to your company.”
