The salesperson was friendly and helpful, and obviously had all the spiel off pat. She was quite persuasive re extras, but in a nice way

ScS Bedford - thanks to Vanita & Raz

Vanita and Raz at the Bedford store made us so welcome. Nothing was too much trouble and they spent a lot of time with us helping us get our order right.
Delivery was 3 weeks before expected date the only problem was we were going to get a time slot for delivery but didn't it just turned up on the designated day. As it happened there were no parking problems but could have had a problem not having a time slot.
We needed some after sales service as one side of the 2 seater sofa was loose. All handled very professionally and sorted. Thank you ScS and Raz and Vanita. Well done.

Sofa Purchase process.

My wife and myself visited the Bedford retail park - nice modern showroom plenty of choice- Chris the salesman was a pleasure to deal with, very helpful and knowledgeable. (I would like to add that NO salesperson would have been able to sell me the addition care package) fingers crossed that everything goes as well when we get the sofas.

I was served by think his name was Raz

I was served by think his name was Raz? He was very helpful and had a lot of knowledge plus he placated my 81yr old mother by showing her the underneath of the chair! I can’t wait to receive my new sofa.

I may need the details of who you use to dispose of old sofa’s if you could please provide that.

Many thanks

Ordered a corner sofa after being told…

Ordered a corner sofa after being told it was modular, so should be easy to deliver. On the day of delivery it wouldn’t fit through the door as not modular. Was told by delivery crew we would be contacted within 24-48 hrs. Needless to say we contacted scs to complain and was told they do not contact us but we have to contact a person to dismantle the sofa to rebuild at an extra cost of £150. Thank you scs.

Good Morning Mr Welch

Thank you for taking the time to leave you're review today.

I am sorry to hear the furniture you had purchased in store had arrived being none modular after being told by our in store staff it would be a modular sofa which you had been looking for at the point of sale leading to the delivery crew reporting this concern for you without a follow up call.

Please could you send a screenshot of your review to socialmedia@scs.co.uk along with your postcode and first line of address so we can locate your account and look into this further for you.

Thank You

Great service and very good salesman

Fantastic service

Fantastic service, had great communication from the team, both from the sales team when buying and on the delivery day, the guys (Alex and Jakob) even called me an hour beforehand to let me know they were en route and to clarify exactly where it would go etc. to ensure smooth delivery (we’re in a townhouse so had to go upstairs). They were polite, professional and the whole thing was done with both sofas in and working in 20 minutes. Brilliant example of how to operate. Thank you!

Nathan listened carefully to my needs…

Nathan listened carefully to my needs and was able to suggest another sofa to the one i was looking at which met them better.
I wanted better lumber support as well as a high back and neck support. You have one which was adjustable so it was perfect.
The heated seat was a bonus.

New furniture from SCS

We have always found the furniture at SCS to be very high quality and hard wearing and have bought a couple of sofas and chairs from them.
Our latest purchase is yet another great piece of furniture.
The service in store was excellent and the delivery was made exactly at the time provided, what more could you ask for.
I highly recommend SCS

Look elsewhere for a sofa. Very Stressful Experience and poor quality product.

Unfortunately we can’t recommend ScS sofas and actively advise you stay away.

Currently in the process rejecting our new sofa after a week due to poor quality with faults all over and safety issues with no reply from ScS customer service after writing a formal rejection.

We ordered a Cornetto Sofa in January to replace our old Sofa with the delivery date of March which we were fine with. the option we selected was a large three seater with a corner storage and sofa bed. We went home and measured up, took pictures and returned to talk to the staff member showing these pictures and sizes who mentioned all would be fine as the sofa broke down to get it through a standard door but if they couldn’t they had a specialist service which we would have to pay for to have the sofa dismantled further to get it in.

It came to the day of delivery and two men turned up with the sofa out still wrapped up and size it up to the door. Here they started complaining that it was too big and were more than eager to just put it on the back of the van to carry on with their other deliveries walking it back without much effort to try getting it through the door.

When I explained we had been ensured it would fit as we had measured up and shown the sales men pictures of the route in both men grumbled and started complaining that I should have some how known that it wouldn’t and stated that the ScS sales team would say anything just to make a sale.

Cue a 5 minute back and forth about how it was some how my fault that this information about it being able to be broken down to get In hadn’t made it to them too. They stated they were ‘just delivery guys’ to which I reminded them they were the ones working for ScS in their ScS branded van and that if they had issues they should take it up with their own company.

After this they did unwrap outside of the property after also explaining I had information I had seen from others who had got this sofa that it did indeed come in multiple bits to make it way in the house.

They then raced to get it in and together again leaving as quickly as possible. And I mean as quickly as possible pretty much dropping sofa care box on the sofa and running out the door while asking for a signature to prove it had been delivered.

Once we started to look around the sofa we started to notice faults and that the overall quality did not match what was in store at all. So many snags all over and quality issues of fabric to the point we have had to cover it in blankets to stop any further issues happening as we noticed that just being on the sofa was causing the fabric to get worse. The storage mechanism is flimsy and faulty to which it doesn’t close correctly and is causing the frame to crack when ever used. The sofa-bed pullout is not level so can’t be used as a sofa bed and the sofa started to ripple badly on day two.

We have since emailed ScS rejecting the sofa which is within our legal rights but have had no response. Note I’m writing this review on day three of no response.

Overall at this time of writing this review it has not been a good experience. Hopefully this can be adjusted once ScS reply and provide collection with full refund.

Good Afternoon Andrew,

Thank you for your review and I hope you are well.

Firstly, please allow us to apologise that the quality of your furniture is not up to a high standard, and that you are wanting to arrange a collection and refund of your furniture. I understand that this must be frustrating and upsetting for you.

I have taken a look over your account and the email you sent to our customer service department, and I have raised all of the issues you are having on our system. Unfortunately we are unable to arrange a collection and refund immediately, we will need to have a technician from Emmiera attend to your property and inspect the furniture prior to discussing rejection of the furniture, as we first need to determine if this is a manufacturing fault.

I have sent over the images you attached to your email to Emmiera, and they will contact you in the next 3-5 working days to arrange an appointment. I have made them aware that you are not wanting to accept a repair, and it will be an inspection only appointment.

As soon as we have the report back from Emmiera after the inspection, we will be in touch to discuss the next steps.

Again I am extremely sorry that you are unhappy with the furniture you have received, if you have any further questions please email us at socialmedia@scs.co.uk or give us a call on 0191 731 3300.

Many Thanks

Received my recliner arm chair…

Received my recliner arm chair yesterday after waiting 3 months
I ordered with a new employee and this his first sale.
Asked for a arm chair recliner the same as an end recliner on a sofa which was wide and asked if I could have the same width chair about 800mm wide, I was told yes
I then asked for the darkest black leather you have.
The chair that came yesterday is dark brown and skinny 500mm wide
Went back to the shop sorry there’s nothing we can do the paper works right.
Phoned SCS customer service used option 1 for a phone back never received a return call
Looks like I’m stuck with a brown uncomfortable chair

Good Afternoon Spencer,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review, I hope you are well.

I am very sorry to see that your furniture was not as expected when this has arrived.
The power chair on your order does only come in 1 size, we do not have different options available.
I can see that the store have also taken a look over this, the colour chosen on your order, and what wad delivered is the macadamia option and showing to be correct.

Should you need to discuss anything further then please contact our customer support team on 0191 7313300.

Many thanks
