    Hello!

    First thing that might be good though - could you put a redirect so that when you type in http://richersounds.ie/ it goes to the www.richersounds.ie? Try the first link and you'll see the problem.

    Noticed that myself.

    Also, using the menu at top of Boards.ie page, when you hover over Biz, then ...Commercial Interaction, Richersounds isn't there. Don't know who to report this one to. Also, big welcome to Richersounds.


  • Company Representative Posts: 9,510 ✭✭✭Richersounds.ie: John


    Hi Guys, I can't believe you guys got a chance to post on our new Forum before I did!

    That's what happens when you have to work I guess...

    As some of you will know I am pretty new to Boards having joined years ago, but really never posted until last month so if we screw up - apologies in advance!

    We have established this Commercial forum as we don't want to mislead Boardies in any way by posting in other forums as a 'friend' or a 'Customer' as I understand many of our Competitors do.I will try to continue to answer posts in various threads but as we always have we will declare our interest.

    Our intention here is to give Boardies exclusive deals and news of forthcoming VIP deals - we will try to post these several times a week and these deals may be for 1 unit or 1000 units!

    We also offer assistance on all AV queries whether or not you have purchased from us - if we can help we will do - just try us.

    Our 1st offer to Boardies made last week is free delivery on all Hifi Separates and 1/2 price specialist Courier delivery on Plasma & LCD TV (£20/€24.99) to anywhere in Ireland.

    Yesterdays deal was a corker - The Philips DAB Radio AJ5100 which retails at €99 - we are offering this at €29.99 exclusively to Boards.ie members - unfortunately as we lose our shirts on this we have to charge €9.99 carriage on this - but you can collect carriage free from The Philips Shop in Dublin or Richer Sounds Belfast. Just drop us a mail to sales@richersounds.ie or to johnmc@richersounds.ie and we will sort out your order...

    Nice Onkyo deal coming tomorrow.....

    Please mail me or PM me directly if you have any queries or if we can assist in any way...

    John McDonald / Managing Director / Richer Sounds Ireland / www.richersounds.ie / johnmc@richersounds.ie



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,241 ✭✭✭god's toy


    Oh wow!

    Happy you got a forum!

    Now we wait the offers!

    Best of luck with it guys.

    That happens whenever a new forum is created. It usually appears in the drop down after the back up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 726 ✭✭✭Lister1


    How long do the deals last? Is the DAB radio one still live?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 147 ✭✭Dearg Doom


    Delighted to see richersounds.ie on Boards:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 963 ✭✭✭chavezychavez


    Nice one to have RicherSounds here.
    Going by the thread in Bargain Alerts, it looks like we may finally have a Hi-Fi/AV champion of the people. About time too I say.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,399 ✭✭✭Kashkai


    This forum is a win-win situation for Boardsies and Richersounds. We get great deals and they get more customers. Don't know why others don't follow. Perhaps the Boards management should develop this area of the forum a bit more and they'd make some money out of it too. The only downside would be some companies trying to hawk junk or advertise their known "offers". I'd put in the caveat that Boardsies should get some kind of reduction like Richersounds free delivery on everything bar tvs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 59 ✭✭Tattoosnob


    I agree it's definitely a win-win for everyone involved, 25 Euro delivery for TV's, can't argue with that, great prices can't argue with that either, but how do they rate for customer service, if you have a problem with a product esp. a large item (e.g. TV) how will this be dealt with, this is as far as I'm concerned a very important part of any purchase esp. when you're maybe spending thousands of Euro in a shop in an other country. I'm sure richersounds will be fine in this regard as they have taken a very honest and open approach on these forums.
    I'm already spreading the word about richersounds to anyone who will listen to me...and look forward to using them myself at some point.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,418 ✭✭✭Jip


    So what's todays deal ?

    John Mc also runs the Philips Store here in Dublin and I believe you can use that as a collection/drop off point for goods and returns.

    Was it ever there? It can take a few days for a new forum. We should make them work the weekends!


  • Posts: 16,720 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Nope it was there before. I assume that whatever updating/upgrading went on today has caused this.

    Thanks,

    Me too. To date JMc has sorted out a new amp & speakers for me at a great price and he's ordered a 46in lcd tv from the Richersounds UK store that I've been told is now reserved for me and will be delivered soon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,080 ✭✭✭✭Tusky


    This is a win win situation really. Boards folks should get great customer service and good deals and in return, Richer Sounds will get PLENTY of business from boards.

    Im new to boards but its great to see the level of value and customer service being offered to boardies by richer sounds. In in the market for an Amp and speakers and theres only one place im going to buy from.
    Full marks all round:)

    Ditto,

    50' plasma on the way over from the UK for me.

    Fair play to John nice to see some good customer service when your handing over such a large amount of money, for a change!

    Complete different world to a DSG shop thats for sure!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,241 ✭✭✭god's toy


    Yep here too, a tasty 47" has my name on it as soon as it's in the stores. Not forgetting the little matter of an TXSR705 amp a few posts up and a set of Kef KHT2005.2 speakers added into the mix just for the sake of it :)

    Happy days!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,399 ✭✭✭Kashkai


    Yeah full marks all round to Richersounds - while they've gotten over €2,700 worth of business out of me, I've gotten my new amp, speakers and 46in samsung lcd for a lot less than I'd have paid in our overpriced and underserved (by grumpy, ignorant salespeople - Peats anyone?) shops in this country.

    Side rant - I previously tried to buy this samsung tv in powercity and DID and despite being asked to fork over €2,000 for the privilege, they treated me with complete contempt, made out I was disturbing them from their slumber, had to try to drag information out of them on this particular tv etc. Sod them, I'll never buy anything from them again. And the best bit, I got this tv for over €500 less than I'd have paid in powercity or DID:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 384 ✭✭vms7ply9t6dw4b


    And the best bit, I got this tv for over €500 less than I'd have paid in powercity or DID:D

    Exactly, i got a full HD screen for the price of a HD ready one in DID ;)

    Just ordered a 42" Plasma!!!! How long did ye wait for delivery??

    I cant wait - im like my 6 yr old son hyper at Christmas time:P:D

    Now what am I going to do to pass the time................

    Btw, it just proves that everyone wants good customer service (and a bargain thrown in of course). The service round here is crap, never even give a potential customer any hint of a bargain!! So well done to Richer Sounds again!!

    And thanks John!


  • Company Representative Posts: 9,510 ✭✭✭Richersounds.ie: John


    Boardies,

    Just a quick note - if any of you guys are travelling to Belfast this weekend to see Ireland's finest Hi-fi/TV store (Ok I am gilding the lily just a touch - the place is a shambles completely full of kit!) ....

    PLEASE DON'T!!!!! PLEASE DON'T!!!!!PLEASE DON'T!!!!!

    As we are closing from tonight (Thursday) reopening next Wednesday for a full shopfit.

    Now for any of you guys who have ever visited a Richer Sounds Store before you will be shocked at the thought of a Richer Sounds having a shopfit as we are famous for always spending less than a tenner on our stores* - but Belfast is now 13 years old and very tired and needs a clean-up. (but don't expect carpets and soft lighting!!)

    We will be on the phones and on-line over the whole weekend if anyone needs advice or has a pressing desire to spend money and as usual our mail order/online dept/ will be despatching kit every day...

    As ever drop me a line if I can assist and normality (Richer MAD normality) should resume next WEDNESDAY!

    Thanks as ever,

    John Mc
    * a tenner in either Euro or Sterling - whatever's worth less at the time....

    Just to say I got a phone call from the boys in RC at ten to four yesterday about my new gear being sent out. Well I jumped up and down with joy when the bloke from DHL rang me this morning at 10 am to say it's here!

    You guys are fast!

    Everything is dandy and sounding just fine btw:)


    Thanks!


  • Company Representative Posts: 9,510 ✭✭✭Richersounds.ie: John

    Details here http://www.monitoraudio.co.uk/product.php?product=55
