These guys are great. Always helpful. I dealt with Matt on this particular occasion, pleasure from the start. It’s so much better dealing with real people rather than clicking buttons on the internet.... See more

Talking to humans.

You took time to explain things, and gave us lots of choice.

Also, delivery service did not let the side down, they were excellent also.

I had a Denon AV receiver which I bought from Richer Sounds Preston over four years ago, which had developed a fault. I was in a 6 year warrantee thankfully. They tried fixing it twice, but unfortunately the fault came back. So they replaced it with a new Denon AV receiver and gave another 6 year warrantee with it. Shops like these are very rare these days.

The sign of a really good company is…

The sign of a really good company is when things go wrong.
Long story short, bought a pair of active speakers and a turntable for my granddaughter's 16th birthday. There was a problem. I contacted Richer Sounds (at Preston) and they could not have been more helpful. From Howie the manager to Matt and James, they all took responsibility for the issue and the turntable was eventually diagnosed as the problem and it was replaced.
When you spend a reasonable amount of money on a product and it is faulty, to have immediate reassurance that it would be sorted and for the company to actually be as good as its word - no fobbing off or avoiding the issue - is massive and I left the shop with a hugely positive impression, which isn't something you can say about most places these days. 11 out of 10 for customer service!

Outstanding all round!

Outstanding all round; website - instore displays - service - pricing - warranty - delivery of purchase!
Super, friendly, efficient, professional service received from Howie.
Easy to understand advice, without any pressure selling or feeling rushed.
I left knowing I can contact Richer Sounds for advice on my purchase, including any future purchases, should I need to.
I will definitely be recommending Richer Sounds to others, based on my positive experience.

These guys are great. Always helpful. I dealt with Matt on this particular occasion, pleasure from the start. It’s so much better dealing with real people rather than clicking buttons on the internet. After buying the Q Acoustics 3090c speaker online on Richer Sounds website, I followed up with the rest in store a week later (minus the subwoofer, that’s to follow). Excellent service.

Fantastic after sales service. The CD player i'd bought wasn't working quite right so contacted Richer sounds dealing with both Mat and Tom. They sent a replacement out. They were even prepared to send another out. Was a slight wire issue with the speaker as it happens but they went above and beyond to sort the problem. Nothing was too much trouble. Incredible service really, especially in this day and age were such personal service is generally a thing of the past.

Visited the Preston branch yesterday (17/8/26) to enquire about upgrading a turntable system after deciding to start rebuying vinyl. We were greeted by Howie the store manager who immediately made us feel welcome. We explained what we wanted and he soon pointed us in the right direction. We chose the package after he gave us a demonstration of the speakers in the separate experience room. This was a great option. Under no time did we feel under any pressure and left the store very happy with our choice. Can not thank Howie enough for his help and would not hesitate to fully recommend this store.

I was really sorry to read of the honest mix up here, and offer my sincere apologies. Our system does send customers the receipt pre the despatch of their product, should the item be marked for delivery, in a bid to avoid any such issues, but I appreciate that as you were expecting the 65" that this was missed and will review the matter with the branch to see what other measures we could potentially take in light of this.

In the meantime, I will arrange for the team to get the unit swapped over for the correct one as soon as possible. Of course if I can be of any more help in the meantime please do let me know..
