NEVER BUY FROM SCS AGAIN
NEVER BUY FROM SCS AGAIN.
We had several attempts to contact them regarding a simple delivery query and got no response. No one ever answered. When we finally did they didn't allow me to speak unless it was the purchasing person - even though it was a question and not a change. They provided an email and we emailed with no response until the latest on Friday with a passive aggressive response (i.e. get it delivered on this day or not until next year - which wasn't what I asked).
When the delivery drivers came (we paid for installation, up a flight of stairs, etc. - all noted in the order), they were moaning about the sales people at SCS. Once up, they had muddy shoes and refused to take shoes off for H&S reasons, which is fine, but had no shoe coverings like the other major installers tend to do (Sky, BT, etc.). They stamped all over the carpet ruining it. At this stage they threatened to take the items back, which my wife said go on then (she was alone when they arrived). They started smirking and acted condescending, before my wife kicked them out -both delivery people were standing there being intimidating and smirking. The item was left unbuilt and the carpet muddy. Shocking experience. This is our first and last purchase from SCS. Irrelevant if they use external companies or not - it's on SCS
Edit in response to SCS reply - the contact form simply doesn't work. Pictures get added (6) and it asks for more. Not good enough.

The sofa is just what we wanted. Finest Italian design and perfect for our needs.

Excellent delivery staff who carried the sofa up two floors.
Professional & trustworthiness
I’m very happy with my purchase from SCS. From the selling point to the delivery & communication in between, everything was truly great. We were supported & well-guided in the shop to make the right choice for our house. The crew who delivered the sofas to our house were truly professional, carried it to the upper floor, fitted it in & showed us some tricks. They removed all the covering & boxes & took it back with them. It was a bonus that it was delivered before the expected date. Overall, very satisfied with the whole process. Thank you

I was informed of the delivery arrival time. The 2 delivery men were fantastic. So polite, professional and friendly.
They moved the furniture in, set up the sofa and armchairs and showed me how to use them. All rubbish removed too.
We are very happy customers. They are a credit to your company.

I had a sofa/bed delivered by SCS this morning and was really impressed with their service. From the communication the week and day before to tell me when it would be delivered, to the 2 men (Paul and Sean) who arrived within 10 minutes of their promised timeslot. Everything was as expected and they couldn't do enough for me. I will definitely buy from SCS again in the future.

Had a fantastic experience today with Kat, she was really kind and helped me through my purchasing journey. There were no pushy sales tactics and I have now placed an order for a fabulous new sofa and chair that are due a lot sooner than I anticipated! Keep up the good work Kat, you’re an asset to SCS!

Helpful staff
When in store last week, we were supported by Dave - a wonderful member of the team. We were provided with plenty of information, whilst at the same time not being too pushy or intrusive.
We were given all the time and information needed to buy our new sofa.
It was a very pleasant experience.

Big thank you to ScS Gateshead Team Valley, to Kat, Mark and David.
First of all, A special thanks to the employees of ScS Kat, David and Mark from ScS Gateshead Team Valley, you guys were beyond amazing and really lovely, we had a beautiful and fun experience :)
My family and I are beyond happy about the service provided at the store. We walked by just looking and ended up with brand new 6 unit of INCANTO D Artista and coffee table.
Kat, Mark and David we’re beyond lovely, I don’t want to sound dramatic here but honestly I felt like we have been dealing with this brand for decades, it felt like a welcome to a new comfortable family. (Sorry if this sounds dramatic and cheesy haha)
The price we got the units and the table and service and all the complicated details were sorted so fast annd smoothly,and they were really helpful and supportive, I’ve never dealt with an easier process and we were very, no. we were Extremely happy about everything.
So thank you ScS for hiring these amazing people and for the amazing quality of the furniture, and letting me and my family have this beautiful experience.
