Great service and support

Purchased some KEF speakers with the help of Ben and his colleagues at the Southampton store. Ben arranged an in-store demo and made the whole process super easy. His colleagues were also kind enough to help me load the speakers into the boot of my car. Very good service all round.

I found the information I required on your website and ordered the pvr click and collect. In store service was polite, efficient and friendly, giving me additional information regarding this new model, just been updated following some glitches with the previous model. The excellent service came as no surprise, my husband and I have been customers of yours since 1986 and my father since before then. We would happily recommend Richer Sounds to anyone.

The team were great

The team were great, went in knowing what I wanted. But was advised I could get the same if not better specs for almost the same price if I took a model that was last year.. well it has longer warranty same specs as it was the top spec one. So I took it, staff helped carry it to car and get it in safely and the wife didn't kill me once I explained I spent 50 quid more than I said.
Nice new tv with great pic and sound.

Panasonic 4K Blue-Ray DP-UB820.

I ordered and paid for a 4K Blue Ray player at midday on a Saturday but was told that it was currently out of stock. However it should be back in stock and ready to collect either late on Tues or Wednesday. But in fact to my surprise it arrived first thing Monday morning! Am I happy? You bet!! Great service and a great company to deal with!!

“Great customer service throughout

“Great customer service throughout. I had plenty of time in the listening room to decide which speakers were right for me. James from the Southampton branch was also incredibly helpful, taking the time to discuss the differences between the speakers, what would suit my needs, and what each option would offer me.”

I am now the very lucky owner of some Monitor Audio Silver 100 7G. And soon to be DALI Sonik 3's as they were SUPERB!!

The helpline was excellent

The helpline was excellent — quick to answer my questions and process my order efficiently. The pricing was very competitive and delivery was impressively fast.

The only area for improvement relates to the outsourced delivery service. It would be helpful if customers were offered more flexibility around delivery time slots. I was home throughout the day but had evening plans, and was advised the delivery would arrive between 6pm and 8pm. Unfortunately, I was unable to amend the slot, which became quite stressful and ultimately required me to arrange for a neighbour to accept the delivery on my behalf.

Only went in for one thing....

Phoned into site and checked to see if they had an item in stock that was part of the sale. Tom, went to check as did have one to ensure was not already reserved (this was 14:00 hrs on a Sunday), it was not, so asked for it to be reserved and advised would be with them in about 40 mins. On arrival, was welcomed by Marc, whom asked if could help, I advised that had reserved an Denon audio system. He check it was behind there counter. I then asked about 3 portable radios again in the sale, he checked had all 3, but advised once was just a speaker. Looked at the other two and went with the Pure Classic H6, it had want i wanted on it function wise, but no idea what was like (not the way normally buy as research items to death). Marc sorted this for payment. Literally on way out, then checked on speaker stand. They had a pair Mission Stance which went for. More work for Marc. Appreciated the staffs time and as ever the friendliness. Got out at 16.00. 3 items heavier, but am happy.

Great service …they really care

Product great but more importantly the guys at Southampton were so helpful.
I may be a bit biased as I have been a customer at Richer Sounds for many years. My first purchase might have been about 50 years ago from London Bridge when a guy called Julian spent a long time sorting out what I really needed …been going back ever since
Don’t think they can be beaten …they really care !

Excellent product support

I have made two visits to your Southampton Branch recently and on both occasions the staff have been extremely helpful and in particular were very quickly able to resolve a problem that had arisen with my BluRay recorder.

Not as good as the hype

Prices no better than anyone else’s. Ordered an item online to collect in store. Box was damaged when I picked it up.

Thanks for your feedback, although it’s disappointing to hear we didn’t meet expectations on this occasion of course.

The condition of the box should have been picked up by the team beforehand and addressed prior to collection so I’m really sorry this didn’t happen. Having looked at the images supplied by DPD at the point of delivery to our store, these don’t appear to show the damage described, so I’ll be raising this with them as well as the store team to understand what’s gone wrong.

In terms of pricing, the market appears consistent with the price you paid. However, our offer does include the added value of our 6 year guarantee, which isn’t something typically included by competitors at the same price point. While we may not always be the lowest headline price, and granted are not here, it’s worth nothing that we will also beat any competitors deal whereby they offering a comparable guarantee.

We’d like to put this right for you and can of course arrange an exchange if you would prefer. A member of my team will be in touch to discuss this further, but if you’d like to contact me directly in the meantime, please do so using the address below…

Excellent service and prompt delivery

After several question and seeking advice, James from the Southampton Richer Sounds team provided me with all the answers and recommendations. We ordered the products (TV and mount) around 14:30 and both items were delivered by 9:30 the following day. Excellent service.
