Friendly competence

Just having a knowledgeable human being lift the phone and talk to me straight away was worth gold. You didn't have the item I wanted, but it was waiting for me 24 hours later. Altogether, a feeling of friendly competence.

Great advice and service from Tim. After emailing back and forth and visiting the store to compare Tim's recommendations, I decided to go with the Argon mk2 vinyl player in electric amber for my boyfriend's 40th. He loves it and it looks and sounds amazing in our living room. Thank you so much!

RICHER SOUNDS - GREAT VALUE, KNOWLEDGE & CUSTOMER CARE

Having spent my life in retail, in a customer care driven businesses, I really appreciate the ethos and service that is given by Richer Sounds. My first boss said to me, “Without customers, we don’t have a business. Always put the customer first”.

In Richer Sounds case it remains the case, as I always feel valued. Over many years I have bought TVs and home entertainment equipment from them, both in store and online. In recent years, I have been dealing with the Cheswick Store and in particular with Jim the store manager. Although I usually purchase top end Sony equipment and have a good idea what I prefer, I do have questions and Jim has the answers. He knows his product and works through the conversation, with quick results. I cannot praise the service more and I not only recommend the Cheswick Store to family and friends, but guide them specifically to Jim. I have also had service from Tim and Simon, who are also helpful

I only leave reviews for exceptional service, but in this instant I give strong recommendations to friends to shop at Cheswick and to ask for Jim as well. This is the only retail outlet I recommend, not because the rest are bad, but if you recommend something, you need to be confident that, that recommendation won’t disappoint.

As a business I have found Richer Sounds to be reliable, with deliveries going smoothly and promptly. Prices are usually keen, and if not, they do price match. Another plus point is the 6 year warranty on most TVs which is really useful, as it is free and high end TVs are costly to fix.

It may appear that I am on commission when it comes to writing such a positive review, but it isn’t that. I just appreciate great, efficient service and good value, the elements that so many other businesses have forgotten. In my own work, there was a sales training session run by Intersport Europe. The trainer opened with a really good statement. He said, “Products can be purchased anywhere, but it is the people and services, that brings customers back”. I totally believe that, and Jim and Richer Sounds demonstrate it.
Thank you 10/10

Great service, good pricing

I called the central RS sales line and got put through to Simon at RS Chiswick. I had a number of questions about a new 4K TV and his advice was clear and very helpful. He quickly arranged for me to visit the store for a demonstration a couple of days later. While the exact TV I was interested in (Sony Bravia A95L) was not available to demo, during the demonstration we had a useful discussion about how it differed to the Bravia 8ii used in the demo (the closest comparable Sony TV) and about all the pros and cons of the 3 TVs tested. A great use of my time, and I eventually chose the Bravia A95L, at a price 5% lower than it was on offer anywhere else.

The installation team used by the Chiswick store was a bit hard to get hold of (just very busy), but they came through in the end, delivering the TV and installing it exactly as I wanted despite a few problems caused by my room set-up. The team took great care both of the new TV and my home overall. Overall I'm very happy with the purchase experience and would use RS Chiswick again.

Unsealed parcel without the DAC

The Chiswick Team has sent an unsealed parcel (the DAC was either absent or lost during transit) and I refused the parcel. Gladly they refunded the transaction.

I was of course sorry to read about the issues with your recent delivery of a DAC, and along with investigating with the branch and the courier, who attempted to deliver your parcel, will arrange for a senior member of our customer service team to follow up with you with an explanation..

Richer Sounds -- a Richer experience!

I love Richer Sounds because of the wide range of audio/visual stuff that they have, the decent prices and the fact that they never make me feel stupid for asking stupid questions. They always answer simply and fairly, never try to upsell and are wonderfully human. I've bought many items there over the years, and the Chiswick one, now my local, is my absolute favourite.

Great service

The staff I spoke to in two locations were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I was given a good deal and I’m very pleased with my new TV. Delivery was easy to arrange and arrived at time expected. I also felt that I could get support if required.
I would recommend this company.

Untrustworthy sales policies

Product was sold with a 7 day no question full refund guarantee. Upon return, multiple questions were asked. I was also threatened to a 10% price adjustment as the box was opened. Not at all trustworthy!

***********
To be fair, this review prompted a call from their customer service who reviewed the case and offered an apology together with a £25 credit voucher.

I was truly sorry to read of the confusion you experienced when returning your purchase recently. Having looked into this I understand that the home trial, which was an offer extended specifically by the colleague who sold the unit, hadn’t been clearly passed on to the rest of the store team, which then made the process understandably more difficult than it should have been when you returned and they weren’t there.

You’re absolutely right to expect consistency from us, the 10% deduction which was mentioned during the return is genuinely part of our standard returns policy where an item has been opened but I appreciate why this appeared concerning to you, as this was in opposition to what had been agreed.

I have made my disappointment clear to the store and asked our Operations team to follow up with some training to ensure they do better in the future and that the system they use for communication is looked at as well as improved where possible, in the meantime I’m glad the matter has been resolved by our customer service team, should you need any further help do get in touch via the below address. Hopefully you can see by the many thousands of positive reviews we get that this was an isolated incident, and you might see fit to give us another chance in the future..
