I have always shopped here for media products. The staff are extremely helpful. They grabbed a ramp for my wheelchair and helped me in.
I dealt with a guy named Steve and he couldn't have done more for me. He gave great advice and recommendations that suit my needs and my budget. I would highly recommend shopping here for a really positive experience. Also there is a 6 or 7 year warrant on TVs which I needed to use some years back and I had my tv replaced having had it for 4 years. You can't ask more that that.

Richer sounds in Gidea Park are great

Richer sounds in Gidea Park are great. I wanted a tv for a visually impaired relative with a voice controlled remote so it was good to actually be able to speak to someone to discuss options. The TV recommended is perfect. I would urge anyone after Tv Hi Fi etc to go have a chat rather than blindly order on the internet. You will be really impressed with the range of goods and knowledge of staff.

Bought a pro-ject turntable

I had a minor issue with a creased up turntable mat, however a manager reached out to me and resolved the issue as a matter of urgency and delivered a new upgraded mat as way of apology, (which was a factory packing issued and not the store) Fantastic company and massive thank you to Tom and of course Steve who sold me the item.

I was genuinely concerned to read your feedback and offer my sincere apologies. Having investigated, and listened to the call in question, I agree it should have been handled a lot differently.

The colleague concerned is indeed a long serving one, with a good record, but your issues highlight that even with the best will in the world we can still get things wrong. I have since spoken to them directly and, along with the store manager, will ensure lessons are learnt as well as raising the issue of the creased mat directly with the supplier.

Having since spoken to resolve this I’d like to thank you publicly for your understanding and patience and offer our sincere apologies once again.

Romford store accolade

Visited the Romford/Gidea Park store for advice on a replacement CD player for our music appreciation group based at Hornchurch Library and as expected I received excellent service and good advice bearing in mind our limited financial budget. Thanks to Graham for his friendly and competent advice and assistance in the store.

Purchased one day delivered the next, excellent.

I went to buy a new record deck but was undecided on which one to buy, all my questions were answered by the shop manager. All the discounts were taken off the purchase price without asking and we were told it could be 4 to 5 days for delivery. Delivery came the next day, the shop staff were very helpful and extremely efficient.

Knowledgeable member of staff

Knowledgeable member of staff. Really pleased with items purchased. Disappointed the items were not available to take away but were instead delivered the next day free of charge including some cable free of charge. Had to remind the salesman to deduct £10 for being a V.I.P. member.

Very helpful staff. Excellent knowledge.

Even offered free delivery, then explained its best to accept because if the product is damaged in transit, it’s down to them.
