When things go wrong - A lovely review of our customer service from Themowgli1

It's easy to give nice reviews when everything has gone well. I believe it is telling how customers are treated when things go wrong.

I purchased an amplifier from Emporium and it had a slight fault with the Bluetooth antenna upon arrival. From its inception, my complaint was dealt with seriously. I was immediately offered a good-will gesture before the amp could even be inspected. I took this as a considerate recognition of my inconvenience and disappointment.

My case was handled responsively with courtesy and understanding. A courier collected the unit at my convenience, I received email and text-message communication throughout. The fault was corrected & I had my amp back within a week.

I enquired about a replacement lead which I wanted to improve my set-up and it was sent to me (free-of-charge) and received the next day.

I’ve been enjoying listen to my music through my new amp ever since.

Professional, courteous and considerate. I’ll happily give them my business again.
