I want you to know how please we were with the professional service of your delivery man, Carl. Sally Houlow

…I’m happy to report that the staff at Hippo’s has so consistently delivered service which is so above and beyond the ordinary that I feel compelled to congratulate you on it. A Happy Delmar Customer

I wanted to let you know that I had a very good experience buying a receiver and bookshelf speakers this last Saturday with Al. He introduced me to Totem Acoustic bookshelf speakers. He listened to the kind of equipment I was looking for and then took an hour explaining the company, the speakers, and the proper use of the product. I was always a bit intimidated by your store due to the brand names and fancy equipment but that all vanished as soon as I met your nice colleague I’m a customer for life. Numan Rashid

It’s amazing and best of all (at over 60 years old) we can use everything without an issue. On top of that if we have questions they are more than happy to help us. Thanks Hippo yet again!!!! Kim L.

We certainly did “shop around” but with my insistence came to Hippo’s before making a decision. From now on Hippo’s will be a one-stop shop for us. You know it all – we loved it! Muriel, Chatham

Staff seemed eager to assist, and conscious of existing space at the home so everything looks good in the long run! Richard, Rensselaerville
