I went to the Richer Sounds shop in Chester to explore whether it would be possible to link bluetooth headphones/earbuds to my ca 8 year old Panasonic TV. Jon checked my TV and explained that it wo... See more

Good advice (phone and in-store in Chester) on the choice of my first streamer and then to consider using the DAC on my Roksan K3 CD player (also from RS) which, on testing, gives a broader soundstage... See more

We have bought 5 LG tvs from Richer Sounds over the last 10 years and have always received excellent service. We have one 43 inch that was repaired being nearly 6 years old, they dismantled the tv in our kitchen, installed new parts and rebuilt it again in less than half an hour. I have full confidence in their recommendations and knowledge that if something goes wrong they will fix it, no ifs or buts. I cannot recommend them highly enough, excellent customer service 👍

The first order clearly wasn't brand new and the presentation box was damaged. The replacement presentation box was damaged and you guys seemed to think it was the couriers but I'm not so sure. I asked for a small gratuity and you seemed reluctant and said you'd give me a discount on my next order.
Not a great experience at all although you did get the replacement out quickly in time for my trip away

I was extremely concerned to read of the problems you had with your recent order from our Chester store and offer my apologies.

Having since reviewed the stock we hold in our warehouse, which was delivered directly from the supplier, all of the items have arrived with us individually plastic wrapped. Whilst this made it difficult to determine exactly where the damage occurred, I completely appreciate the frustration of receiving not one, but two presentation cases in an unsatisfactory condition. I will review the matter directly with both the manufacturer and our courier partners to see what improvements can be made for this and similar lines.

The store manager has since confirmed to me that he has been in touch and resolved the matter with a gesture of goodwill that you were happier with. However, I'd like to apologise again for the inconvenience caused and thank you for bringing the matter to our attention.

Excellent experience

I spoke with the Chester shop and outlined my requirements.
They didn't have a TV in stock to suit my needs (I didnt want a large one) but recommended one and even sent me the link to purchase it.
It was delivered within two days.
Excellent service

Great Speaker Audition

Good to have Joe and Adam set up the opportunity to compare new speakers with old. While not the best environment a listening room at least lets you sort likely options so that a home trial is not a waste of a trip to the shop. Then the "Open Box" offer was too good to miss PLUS the Wharfdale Super Linton's sound great in our own listening room.

Fabulous service. Prompt delivery.

I had a voucher to spend, which was nearing its expiry date. First of all, the Chester branch offered to extend the voucher (although it wasn't necessary). Then they helped me with my purchase, making sure I was happy with the item I wished to order. And, on top of that, my order arrived the next day and I'm very pleased with it. I'll definitely shop with Richer Sounds again.

I only went in for a TV bracket

I only went in for a TV bracket because I already knew which TV to buy. Chatting to Ewan I explained my requirements and explained the reasons for my choice. He knew all about the new technologies and had first hand experience of how the pictures look. Then he asked me about the room where the TV would be located, which wall it would be on, how large the windows were and their aspect. Turns out that along with the brightest colours I also needed to consider the contrast against the blacks and the reflection from the screen. And the best bundle matching all of my requirements came in a longer established and slightly cheaper package. These experts helped me dodge a bullet.

Had a fantastic experience

Had a fantastic experience at Richer Sounds Chester Store. I had a demo of a pair of Argon Fenris speakers. Ewan the sales assistant was very knowledgeable and made my choice straightforward, Highly recommend this store. I’ve been a customer for over 15 years and would not look elsewhere for my hifi needs.
