I needed advice and direction. I received both via telephone, my questions were answered quickly, recommendations made, and the transaction led to a sale shortly thereafter. Good service as always

Excellent customer support

Excellent customer support from richersounds newcastle.
All the staff were very helpful.
Bought many items from this store, their knowledge on the products and after care support is 2nd to none in my opinion and experience. A special thank you to the deputy manager who helped me with my purchase of the kef speakers.

Samsung 43inch TV

We bought a Samsung 43inch TV recently.
We dealt with Euan who sorted our collection.
After many tries we couldn't get the TV to recognise our broadband router.
We rang Euan and he went above and beyond talking us through what should work to connect to broadband but still didn't manage to connect it.

He rang off and looked into how to fix the problem, rang back after 30 mins and again walked us through another process which worked.
Excellent sales and after sales care.
Brilliant

After Sales service leaves a lot to be desired

I bought a TV for my mum recently and the pre-delivery experience was excellent, mainly due to the fact I had missed a number out of my postcode and not realised till the day before. However, I got into touch with Furdeco and they held the delivery whilst I changed my postcode through RS.
On 21st September, it was delivered and I quickly saw that there was a green line in the TV screen where the panel was damaged. Again, these things happen so I contacted them and told them, they apologised and said they'd arrange a replacement to be sent out.
We are still waiting to hear about the exchange and I have had to chase twice now to find out what is going on with one reply saying the delivery company will be in touch, but no reply to the chaser email from last Wednesday (30/09).
If a faulty item is supplied then I would expect the same level of service throughout, not become an afterthought once payment has been received.

Since posting this review, RS have been in touch and apologised to my mum, offering a refund due to stock issues. They were very professional and my mum was content with the outcome so despite this whole episode, I would still consider them when I buy my New TV Around Christmas

I was of course most concerned to read your feedback. When a customer receives a damaged item, the priority should be putting things right as quickly and successfully as possible; having since investigated, on this occasion we simply didn't, and for that I'm very sorry.

Unfortunately, there was a stock issue with the replacement television which our colleague failed to correctly identify. As a result, the courier was never instructed to contact you regarding the exchange as expected. To make matters worse, your subsequent chase email was also missed. Along with our Operations team, I have reviewed the complaint with those involved and asked them to learn from what happened so we can reduce the chances of similar mistakes occurring in future.

Following contact from our team, I understand arrangements have now been made to collect the damaged television and resolve the matter. We'll continue to monitor this to ensure everything is completed as promised and follow up to double check it has been.

Please accept my sincere apologies again for the inconvenience caused. Hopefully you will see that such human errors, albeit inevitable, are rare, and I'm sorry we let you down on this occasion.

Excellent service and buying experience. They are very helpful and have a great knowledge of the products they sell, a reason I keep going back. Other businesses could learn a lot from their professional service.
