Mouris

shopped at this store for the first time, and right from the moment I walked in, I was met with a warm reception and staff who genuinely tried to help me secure the specific purchase I had in mind—and they succeeded. I will certainly recommend this store to my friends. Thank you.

I ordered via a stoor

I ordered via a stoor, the person I spoke too was great, very helpful and informed. Order was placed and the record deck arrived on time as planned. Easy to set up, has made a great addition, first time in over 30 years I listen to records that have been put away. Nice to get exactley what I ordered and for it to live up to the reviews - well done Richer Sounds.

Great service is the number 1 reason for the five stars, but I should also comment on the TV.
I hoped I would be happy with it, but I was not.
I was overjoyed.
My opinion - better than OLED without any burn in concern.

Highly Knowledgeable and Helpful.

Highly perspicacious staff who had all been working there a long time, which is always a good sign.

Customer service at its finest

Just picked up my Samsung soundbar, subwoofer and speaker set from Richer Sounds Newcastle after ordering online. Got a quick call to say it was ready, and the team in store were fantastic. The agent who helped me was really knowledgeable and went the extra mile to sort out my cashback offer - top service. Really impressed and I’ll be ordering a UST projector and another soundbar from them very soon.

Nice people, knowledgeable and as technical (or non-technical) as you want. Steered me well based on a couple of prerequisites. In and out in 15 minutes with no time wasted. Fast and efficient delivery.
