Delivery of sofas was great

Buying the sofas was the easiest part. Really good service and advice.
On the delivery day, Chris and Simon rang through to inform me when they hope to be with me (dependent on traffic around the Dartford area!) I think they were travelling from Essex.
Both Simon & Chris were pleasant, jovial and brought my sofas in and placed them where I wanted them. They made it look so easy.
Thank you

A very satisfactory delivery

The delivery guys called me to advise their time of arrival and were prompt. They were polite, friendly and efficient, and tidied up after themselves.
Good ambassadors for SCS.

Disgusting company

If you read all my reviews regarding our sofa from SCS you will understand this review.. we have never had such bad treatment from any company ever!! Our sofas were never fit for purpose we are now going through small claims court and after my last review they answered and said someone would be in touch to discuss further and once AGAIN nobody got in touch they never ring you back!! I’m not too concerned as this will all go for us with our court claim but just another lie they have told us! DO NOT BUY from this company. We will wait to see the outcome of the courts but depending on the outcome we will NOT leave it this company must not get away with treating customers like we have been treated! I have just read your reply SCS and I was told they would ring me by the end of Monday it’s now Wednesday!!this happens every time they say they will ring.. they DONT!! Once they get your money they don’t want to know!!

No one knew Colchester was close except me

It would be easier to say what went right than what went wrong.
It took over three months to get our order of 2 two seater settee’s. Firstly we got a date for delivery on the 18/07/2025 No delivery no calls text or emails. I finally got through to SCS and they informed me that the Colchester store was closed for refurbishment and nobody knew anything. After countless phone calls I got through to head office, I explained what was happening and you never guess what they put me through to the Colchester store which was closed. My temperature was getting high and not happy. A few days I got a text say my delivery was to be on the 25/07/2025 between 13.00 and 19.00, you guessed it no delivery. I stayed all day just case it came but nothing no calls no text nothing
On the 28/07/2025 I managed to get through to head office, after a heated exchange I told them to cancel my order and return my £500 deposit. I was promised my order would be delivered on the 29/07/2025 between 07.00 and 12.00. I got an email saying my order will be delivered on the 25/07/2025 then a little while later I got another email saying that it would arrive on the 29/07/2025
Finally my order arrived at 08.00 they delivered my order and left
I will not ever be ordering from SCS again, very disappointing

Good Morning Rachel,

I hope you are well.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review and for the feedback regarding your experience.

I am very sorry that your initial delivery did not go ahead.
It is noted that a manager had tried to contact you on the day as the crew were stuck behind an overturned lorry so were unable to complete and further deliveries for that day.
I apologise sincerely that we were unable to reach you and for any inconvenience caused, we do appreciate that this must have been a frustrating time.

I will ensure that your feedback is received by our teams as this helps us to improve our service.

Many thanks

Good Morning Lee,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review, I hope you are well.

I am very sorry that you are waiting for an update on your order.

I can see from the documents that your order was initially estimated to arrive at our Distribution Centre around 27/06/25. We do advise that this date can change by 4 weeks either side.

At the moment we are waiting on a further update, but are still within this timeframe.
A call back has also been set with the store to discuss this further with you.

Many thanks

Very good experience.

Very good experience.

My wife and ordered a new sofa on the 12th of April, we was told a 3 month wait for it to be delivered. We recieved notification of delivery 3 weeks before delivery. We the recieved a notification a day before delivery and then an email and text the morning off to confirm delivery time and date. Delivery of the new sofa was flawless and could not fault this what so ever.

We cannot remember the lady's name in the colchester store but made us feel at ease when we purchased our new sofa. Considering we had our three lovely children running wild in the store and didn't bat an eye lid!

We even recommend scs to my mum, who then bought a sofa from them and I was gutted she got an earlier lead time on her sofa.

Safe to say I saw some horrible reviews about scs, but I cant fault them with anything with them so far. Fingers crossed!

Thanks again to everyone involved.

Awful service

Awful service. We ordered our sofa in January and still have not received it in June, despite paying in full! We have had 2 delivery dates which we took time off work for, with no delivery and on the first one, no contact to say it had been cancelled! We have contacted the store numerous times to simply be told they only deal with sales, however there are no options available to get further help. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

Excellent customer service

We were informed of expected delivery time the evening before and then the morning of delivery. The sofa arrived well packaged and protected and was expertly put together by the delivery staff. They were efficient and polite throughout.

Great experience

The shop staff were excellent. Delivery was on time and the men were polite and efficient. The furniture is just what we wanted. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because we had to wait so long. Ordered in January, delivered in May.

Excellent!

My whole SCS experience has been excellent from start to finish. The help and assistance I received in store when I ordered to the departure of the delivery men was first rate. My expected delivery date had been given to me as 19th May, but I got a message to say my sofas were due into the warehouse on the 8th May with delivery scheduled for me on the 9th May. I received a text message the day before to confirm delivery and on the day I had messages to confirm my hour delivery slot. There was also a link that allowed me to see where the drivers were and how many deliveries there were before me. The delivery team were very professional and friendly and took all the packaging away with them. I would award SCS 100% on ordering and delivering. Not too mention, the sofas are more comfortable than I remember them being in the showroom! Fabulous and would definitley recommend.
