Update May 2026

Time has proven my market assessment entirely correct and exposed the retailer's defensive response as misleading. Less than a month after cancelling my order due to their 30-day delay, the exact same TV bundle has now dropped significantly in price on their own website due to the upcoming next-gen OLED releases. This price drop means the total cost today is officially lower than the 'unbeatable, best-out-there' package the Head of Customer Experience aggressively tried to justify to me in April.

By failing to deliver my order for over a month and forcing me to cancel, Richer Sounds inadvertently saved me from overpaying thousands of pounds on a rapidly depreciating model. This pricing reality completely dismantles their claim that I was trying to 'weaponise' reviews; I was simply refusing to be locked into an uncompetitive, delayed contract. Future buyers: please use this as a live case study. Do not let this retailer rush you into complex 'package deals' on stock they do not physically possess—patience and checking current market conditions will save you a fortune.

Update regarding the retailer’s response:

Regarding the suggestion that this review is being used as a 'weapon': I strongly disagree. The decision to cancel the order due to the 30-day delivery delay had already been made before any final offer was presented. The discussion regarding the installation fee and soundbar was not a request for a 'discount,' but a demonstration that the 'goodwill' offer simply matched standard promotions already available elsewhere in the market. This evidence was provided to show that the offer did not constitute genuine compensation for a significant service failure, but rather reflected current market conditions. A public review is a tool for consumers to share factual experiences, not a negotiation tactic. If a business perceives honest feedback as a 'weapon,' that is a reflection of their own attitude toward accountability rather than the intent of the reviewer. I have stated the facts, and I stand by my experience.

——————————————————

I have historically valued the Richer Sounds reputation for customer service and their 6-year warranty, but my recent experience with the Richer Sounds Leeds branch was the complete opposite of that expectation.

I pre-ordered a flagship 83 inch LG Oled television, total order value was close to 5k £, and what followed was a more than 30-day delivery delay. During this period, my delivery date was shifted three separate times without any proactive communication. When I raised my concerns, the retailer attempted to justify their "premium" service by highlighting a bundle (soundbar and warranty). However, the math provided to me felt like a deliberate attempt to obscure the total cost. I was quoted a net spend that ignored my actual cash outlay, relying on inflated retail values for bundled items rather than the reality of what I was paying. To make matters worse, I discovered that better bundle deals—such as the soundbar being offered for free alongside a lower TV price in February, or the same soundbar being offered for free again very recently—were available to others. Yet, I was expected to pay for this item as part of an expensive, delayed, and uncompetitive package.

The retailer argued that the product was already at a "discounted" price, but even a lower price point does not justify a month-long service failure. Furthermore, they counted a small "goodwill" reduction in installation costs as a saving, while ignoring that other premium retailers provide this installation for free. When a company fails to meet delivery windows for over a month—while competitors have stock available for next-day dispatch—the bundling of warranty and audio equipment becomes irrelevant to the customer's actual experience. It felt as though their "Price Beat" promise was an inconsistent sales tactic rather than a transparent policy.

I eventually cancelled my Richer Sounds order and received a refund. If you are researching a Richer Sounds review before making a major purchase, I strongly recommend verifying live stock availability and comparing total package pricing against manufacturer-direct offers. A reputation for "the best service" should be defined by reliability and transparency, not by justifying higher costs or slower service through complex bundles and creative accounting.

Got a great price and next day delivery staff at Leeds were very helpful and it was a nice experience shopping with Richer Sounds would recommend many thanks

Very good service. Went in for a new stylus and recieved really good advice. Very understanding, great customer service and a free umbrella as it was raining!:)

Always helpful in any store or on phone online orders always delivered fast Leeds store also so helpful and sound advice

Harry is an absolute credit to the Leeds store! Super helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable. Repaired my 20 year old speakers and communication throughout was brilliant. No hard sell and then gave me plenty of time to use the listening room (and lots of coffee) when I was looking at different systems to complement my repaired speakers. Fantastic experience with the Leeds store, highly recommend.

Having been the very first UK customer, to have a 115 inch Micro RGB 4K Ultra HD HDR Smart TV installed in my home. And I am so happy I bought it, it is an amazing TV, the colours are something I have never seen before, they are absolutely fantastic, and the picture quality is by far the best I have ever seen on any TV, better than being at the pictures, they are really that good, and I would recommend the TV to anyone.
Every time I turn this TV on, it puts a huge smile on my face, every time.
And thank you so much to Richer Sounds, has there kept me informed on every update, and also for organizing the installation, and the huck up to my surround sound system.

Great deal, friendly service and nice to be able to speak to the store rather than a call centre.

Initially gave me a very poor deal, I had to go to the competition to get a quote in order for them to give me a decent price.

Other than that I had no problems.

As always their customers service is unmatched. Order was placed online, they reserved the item in store for collection on the same day. Payment done at store.
Due to large package they helped me getting outside the store.

Welcoming, friendly staff - very knowledgeable. Good service.
Parking is a pain though.

Great guys , extremely helpful , with good deals .

Good price and got exactly what I needed Great service and advice from Mikey at the Leeds branch. Thank you.

I recently visited Leeds store to purchase an AV receiver, and I was really impressed by the exceptional customer service. The staff really took the time to listen to my needs and preferences, offering me the best options based on what I was looking for. They didn’t push any unnecessary products, instead tailoring their recommendations to what made the most sense for my setup and budget.

Their attention to detail and expertise made the entire shopping experience smooth and stress-free. I felt like they genuinely cared about helping me find the right product, and I left with exactly what I needed—at a great price.

Highly recommend this store for their excellent service and great deals!

All I can say is wow what beautiful sound this cd player has absolutely beautiful machine 🤩

Sound advice! Understanding of the tech needed and matched to our lifestyle without aggressive selling or unnecessary upgrades.

Love this place, been shopping here since the 90's, customer service fantastic, helpful and knowledgeable. Product is top quality and good value, I would highly recommend 👌

Great service from knowledgable staff who took thier time with me. Could have easily sold me a more expensive tv but listened and guided me to make the right choice for me, which saves me £1100 from the tv I was going to get from what I brought - tv I brought is perfect for my home. This is the reason I’ll be going back again. Thank you for your honestly and guidence - 5 star experience

Anthony was really helpful and helped me to choose a TV for our sunny family room. It fits perfectly in the space and the picture is incredible
