went into exeter store sidwell street…

went into exeter store sidwell street on friday just before bank holiday monday went in asked about a record player they had a silver one on display a technica 120 xlp £249 asked if they had a black one in so that it would match my technics stuff they said no but we can send one to your house. I'm thinking surely a bank holiday weekend coming up and no stock. So walked from their to john lewis they had exactly the model i wanted with bluetooth for £299 so i made the purchase. Poor performance richer sounds honestly

Thank you for your feedback, although I was obviously sorry to read of your disappointment following your visit to our Exeter store.

Whilst we don't hold every advertised product in stock at every branch, due to the practical limitations of store stockrooms, I understand your frustration at being unable to take away the exact model and finish you were looking for and, although we would of course have been happy to arrange next day delivery either to your home or back into store, I also appreciate that this wasn't the solution you were looking for.

We always want our stores to have the right products available at the right time, and always do our best to hold key promotional lines for specific periods such as bank holidays, however I will certainly review the stores stock holding here.

I do hope that prospective customers will consider the 98% of happy customers who review us positively and who allow us to maintain our 4.9 rating on Trustpilot, and if you would like to discuss the matter further please do get in touch via..

Deputy Manager gave sound advice with good customer service.

Deputy Manager, Steve, listened to my problems re 8 year old Humax and confirmed my belief it was beyond recovery. Options were discussed resulting in him ordering new Humax Azur for next day delivery at no cost to me. He even enrolled me as VIP customer.

The new Humax was delivered as promised. Outlook was not good when it did not hook onto wifi but I overcame this with ethernet extenders.

There was then a problem setting it up which was solved when I discovered the ability to up date the soft ware. Humax need to highlight this as a priority.

Fortunately , the device now operates both with freely and apps as well as allowing ability to record via aerial.

My wife is now happy!

Thank you Steve

helpful staff with great knowledge

really helpful staff who listened carefully to my requests and needs. i was very nervous about going into quite a “male” space as a woman with no clue what they were really talking about but the staff were helpful and didn’t make me feel stupid at all. i got a great set up at a good price. delivery was organised for me and arrived the next day, which was way quicker than i expected. brilliant products that i know i can trust, and an amazing warranty. thank you for your help!

Very good team

First and foremost, we knew very little about hifi tech until we met Nick. Now we know a little bit more, our visit to Exeter Richer Sounds was very informative. What we installed at home was a super hifi system with everything we needed to start our journey into real sound and real enjoyable music. Thank you again Nick, you made our visit well worth while.

Wonderful customer service

Wonderful customer service. It began with a telephone call to ask about parking as bringing 98 year old with us and didn’t want her to walk too far. Very pleased to hear about on site parking. The service in store was very professional, no hard sell and genuine interest in helping us decide. On collection day we arrived before opening time but we were invited in regardless, happy helpful staff. The TV was carried to the car for us too. Email contact was excellent and an altogether very easy and joined up experience.
