Richer Sounds Online is Crap !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stiggy (Mostly Harmless) posted this on Friday, 3rd August 2001, 19:14

I usually get all my hifi/homecinema gear from Richer Sounds in Nottingham (close to where I live) if they stock it of course. I ordered a Sony 335 multiregion player from them along with some blank Cd-r`s & a Cd player. The order came to just under £350. Paid for it using my trusty Egg Visa card & sat back gloating to myself & thinking how easy the internet has made my life. However.......................... 10 days have passed & I still haven`t received my order. They promise to deliver within 5 days. They promise to keep you upto date with your order & to contact you if it runs into any problems. I have e-mailed them , telephoned them a dozen times only getting a message promising to ring back within 24hrs. All these bloody promises BROKEN. My faith in this company is now in the same position BROKEN. I`m without a DVD player which is bloody torture. Can any of you remember how bad VHS is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Has anybody else had to go through the same problems with Mr Richers .com adventure ? Can anybody give me an alternative (to the websites) e-mail address / phone no where I can get in touch with somebody so I can give them a severe ear bashing ?

Help Please !!!

Their Web site is usually crap to buy from. I know people who have ordered bits and pieces and then they are told their order has never been recived. Funny that becasue their account balance didn`t seem to agree!!!!

Anyway I only got one number for them and thats:
(020) 7378 5862
but ask to speak to a supervisor because otherwise you get the same old Tosh (no disrespect to my DVD player/or anyones DVD player in that little pun!)

Also take a look at:

as they are part of the Which Web Trader thingy. May be something to help you in there!!

Hope it helps

And give http://www.superfi.co.uk a call too (psst - next to Selectadisc).

Forum Hi Fi is hardly "just up the road" either........hop on an "Arnold" bus. Incidentally, they are now a Sevenoaks franchise ;-)

You could give Link electronics a go. They have always been good with me in the past. www.linkonline.co.uk

clayts, time to slap your wrist.

Forum hi-fi Notts and Sevenoaks Notts are not conected in any way and are totally diferent stores on the other side of the road to each other.

You are now fully wrist slaped.

All the best,

Andrew.

I didn`t say they were "just up the road",
I said they were further down Mansfield road which they are. So was that sarcastic comment really necessary?.

thanks.

Oops - sorry for the confusion.

No, there was no need for the sarky comment - I`ve chastened myself accordingly.

Apologies all round.

Ordered from them once - it took about 2 weeks and numerous phone calls to get action. I don`t think I`d use them again.

Hey, does everybody live in/near Nottingham? Me too!
