Manchester store Deansgate

Manchester store Deansgate . On a phone call the guy was really helpful helping me with a buzzing sound off my old new Technics SL3000 turntable..Took time to work out an issue for me and was happy to help me. I'm also buying a TV stand from them. I would recommend them...they have been in business for years so got to be good.

Great Service and super Prompt delivery.

Adrian, the store manager was a calm character, zero hard sell and just helped me make choices I'm still very happy with. I got to try the equipment I was interested in without being rushed. My first Hifi purchase has been a great experience. I placed the order in-store on a Saturday and got the delivery on Monday. Way quicker than I dreamt of. Thank you

Good people, poor systems.

People are your strength but you need better systems.
Jeff from telesales gave me a fairly good offer on a higher shelf CD player but when sent a link to pay, after my bank's block on the card removed your system still could not process the payment. I had to visit your Manchester shop to pay where Adrian was very helpful.
Both Jeff and Adrian were top notch with quick delivery sorted, but your systems let me down.
Why Jeff could not take the card payment on the phone?
Why only the lame internet link which was useless?
The guys were great though.

My little compact radio / CD player / Bluetooth works great. Perfect for my kitchen where I don’t need ‘big sound’. I was advised that for my purposes, I didn’t need the more expensive product, and you were right. It’s great, easy to use, and I get to listen to CDs again.

Ryan was honest and spoke Welsh

Ryan was honest and spoke Welsh! However I did NOT like the comment at the bottom of the invoice about getting back to you within 24 hours if the product is damaged being in "microscopic" print. This should be in LARGE print with attention drawn to it.

Amazing customer service!

Matt in the Manchester store was super helpful and made sure I got the best possible deal. Everything was delivered safely and on time. I even had a follow up call to check everything was ok. Great customer service and will be back.

Super helpful and knowledgeable staff

Super helpful and knowledgeable staff. Matt kindly set up a listening session and helped me choose between two mini hifi systems and four pairs of speakers using six tracks from four cds. He was so helpful and patient with all the switching around. And I’m really happy with the outcome.

Matt was Sound at Richer Sounds

Excellent service from Richer Sounds Manchester. Matt was brilliant from start to finish—friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely interested in helping me choose the right record deck, without any pressure to buy.

He took the time to explain everything clearly and made the whole experience really enjoyable. It’s exactly the sort of personal service that keeps you coming back. Highly recommended—thanks again, Matt!

service was good

service was good. item I wanted was identified and after speaking to staff zi ordered and paid for it to be collected the following day.
The only negative was the incorrect advice I was given.I asked if it was "plug and play without any set up" I was told "yes"
it wasn't. it came in 3 pieces. and I needed to fit a drive belt.
luckily this was not too difficult.
However, I am dissapointed in being given inaccurate information.

Thank you for your feedback, and kind words about the service. We appreciate that levels of technical expertise will vary from customer to customer, so I'm sorry that the colleague possibly used the term plug and play subjectively, and should have explained in more detail

We will of course pass the feedback to the branch team so they can learn from it for the future.
