Snowsky Echo Mini MP3 player does not have builtin storage anymore

I have a Snowsky Echo Mini MP3 player with 8GB built-in storage. I ordered same for my wife. When she started loading music, she discovered the storage was only 203MB! I thought I had checked when I first looked at the Richer Sounds website that the storage was 8GB. The item was out of stock, so there was a delay of several weeks and I ordered over the phone. I suspect the website was meanwhile updated to the new rubbish tiny amount of storage spec. Richer Sounds need to warn purchasers about this very significant change, and recommend buying a microSD card to get useful storage. Or even sell compatible microSD cards.

Thank you for your feedback, although I'm obviously very sorry for the disappointment caused here.

You're right that the storage specification for this product has been reduced. Unfortunately, we were only made aware of this running change by the manufacturer, which we understand was caused by parts supply issues, some time after your order had been placed and whilst it was progressing through our system. We updated the product information on our website as soon as we became aware, but we should also have contacted you directly, so I'm sorry that didn't happen. Alongside our Operations team, I will be putting a process in place for any similar product changes affecting core functionality going forward.

While we don't currently have plans to stock microSD cards ourselves, the supplier has confirmed that the unit will support cards with capacities of up to 256GB. Therefore, either I or a senior member of the team will be in touch directly to discuss a suitable solution. Hopefully you can see from the 98% of positive reviews on Trustpilot that issues such as this are rare, but I'm sorry for what happened on this occasion.

Very helpful advice given by Ben

Very helpful advice given by Ben, explaining options for a new TV.
No sales pressure but a lot of detailed information and suggestions and offer of future help if needed.
Prompt next day delivery and I managed to set TV up, although needing further assistance from younger generation to complete it. I admit to being an electronic Luddite!

Tom was very helpful

Tom was very helpful, I explained what I wanted to do and he recommended a couple of possibilities to me. I chose one and it is working perfectly. I was offered back by phone or facetime which is reassuring. Great service.

Good advice…

I received clear advice about the product I wished to purchase. Although not in store I was given delivery or collection options that suited me. The product was ideal for the use I intended for it.

Excellent advice and guidance

I have used Richer Sounds in Southampton for several years and have always found their staff exceptionally responsive, helpful, patient and friendly, especially so as I find it difficult to visit the store and do everything over the telephone. This time I was advised by Paul in the choice of two smart TVs to replace old TVs bought 16 years ago. Paul was very helpful in explaining how the technology has changed and which products would be a good buy within my budget. He then emailed the details for me to think over, and then was very helpful when I phoned back to place the order. The LGOLED42C54A TVs are excellent. I'm very pleased with them. At no time did I feel rushed on under pressure to make a purchase. The quality of the service from Paul based on his many years experience and friendly approach are highly commendable and a delight in this wretched era of FAQs, AI and chatbots. It is so much better to have a flesh and blood expert to speak to. Long may Paul and Richer Sounds continue to do their excellent work.

I made an online purchase

I made an online purchase, a OLED TV, collection etc was handled perfectly. If I have any concerns, its relating to the picture quality.... I am not sure, I am receiving the best quality picture, the ones in the shop. look better than the one I am getting, so a quick call from one of your experts to passify me would be great.

I bought a 75 inch tv 18 months ago

I bought a 75 inch tv 18 months ago. The screen has gone so Richer Sounds advised me to deal with the producers directly. They took several days to come and collect it and tell me it will take 2 weeks to repair ? So no World Cup in 75 inch tv for me. No involvement from richer sounds at all !!

Reply from Richer Sounds - Southampton

I was really sorry to read your TV has developed a fault. We do often allow the manufacturers to repair products on our behalf, generally this is of a benefit to customers as they can service their own products quickly and of course as the retailer we still take full responsibility and ownership. I appreciate your frustration however, especially as the World Cup is in full swing.

We will contact you directly to discuss getting a loan unit arranged for you ensuring all is resolved to your satisfaction..

Excellent service

Paul, I couldn’t give higher praise, thank you so much for your help in not only assisting me with purchasing a new turntable but going out of your way to help when I later discovered I needed a new receiver as well.
An expensive Fathers Day made easy and pain free.
Fabulous product knowledge and first class customer service. Greatly appreciated.
Sounds amazing too! 😎😁🎶🎶
