Great service from Richersounds in Manchester with the purchase of Sony bravia 7 ii 50" tv. Prompt reliable delivery and good comunication from in house courier.
I have found the tv to have excellent picture quality and sound and is a vast improvement from my old KD-49XH9505 in every aspect with sharp clear picture, screen uniformity (no dse) and good viewing angles.
Competitive price. Recommeded.. tv and retailer. Many thanks.

Superb customer service

Superb customer service - great advice from Rob (and previously from the store manager) on a new TV and soundbar/speaker system. So lovely to be able to take advice in a non-pressurised environment. I’m thrilled with the new tech (LG OLED TV and soundbar/subwoofer) - the performance has blown me away. Don’t bother with John Lewis - this is where you will get time and proper advice.

Honest and clear

I purchased on-line and opted to collect from store, I found the product description to be honest and clear and the price to be better than that available on Amazon. The purchase was clearly communicated at every stage and the process was simple for me. It seems to me that because the company specializes in audio/visual that the staff are helpful and knowledgeable about the products they sell.

Excellent service for speaker brackets

Looking for speaker wall brackets, and having seen something on the Richer Sounds website that might meet my needs, I called in on the off chance that I'd be able to look at them. The staff member (sorry, don't recall his name) helpfully pointed out that although they weren't stocked in the shop there was one on the wall for a speaker in use. I was able to confirm that they should be right (I had specific requirements for clamp height and angle adjustment) but was assured that I could return them if they proved unsuitable. I placed an order there and then (Friday early afternoon) and was amazed to find they were delivered on Saturday at no extra charge. Very pleased with the brackets and the service. Maybe I could have got something cheaper at a huge online retailer(!) but I'm satisfied that I got very good value from Richer Sounds.

Very efficient service

Very efficient service and a very personalised one, even with everything being done online e.g. named person to contact if the need arose. This type of service is very rare these days, but is priceless.

Great Service and super Prompt delivery.

Adrian, the store manager was a calm character, zero hard sell and just helped me make choices I'm still very happy with. I got to try the equipment I was interested in without being rushed. My first Hifi purchase has been a great experience. I placed the order in-store on a Saturday and got the delivery on Monday. Way quicker than I dreamt of. Thank you

Good people, poor systems.

People are your strength but you need better systems.
Jeff from telesales gave me a fairly good offer on a higher shelf CD player but when sent a link to pay, after my bank's block on the card removed your system still could not process the payment. I had to visit your Manchester shop to pay where Adrian was very helpful.
Both Jeff and Adrian were top notch with quick delivery sorted, but your systems let me down.
Why Jeff could not take the card payment on the phone?
Why only the lame internet link which was useless?
The guys were great though.

My little compact radio / CD player / Bluetooth works great. Perfect for my kitchen where I don’t need ‘big sound’. I was advised that for my purposes, I didn’t need the more expensive product, and you were right. It’s great, easy to use, and I get to listen to CDs again.
