Bad customer service

Placed an order on the 25th of November and something happened in shipping and it never arrived. According to DPD the package should have been delivered back to skull candy, but skullcandy has informed me that they don't have it.on top of this skullcandy was very hard to contact and has not done anything to give me my money back or to get me my product that I have spent money on. Unless they can resolve this with me I would not recommend them

Update,its been 7 hours since skullcandy have responded to me but i havent recieved any emails from them. I will give benefit of the doubt that they are taking their time and reviewing my situation butan early response. Would be great as this package has been not delivered for over a month now.

Dreadful Customer Experience

Headphones are good, Bluetooth speakers are very poor. Customer Service is non existent.

I had to return faulty headphones, which was an over complicated process and I even had to pay shipping for returning a faulty product. I was told I would get a full refund for the item upon receipt if it at their return warehouse.

In good faith, I ordered a replacement pair of headphones, these arrived quickly.

After ten days of hearing nothing from Skullcandy and not receiving the agreed refund, I contacted them and they claimed not to have received the returned item. I provided them proof via tracking information, they then confirmed the refund, in the form of a credit! This was in direct contradiction to their original agreement. I queried this and my messages went ignored.

Feeling defeated, I used the credit to order product that I neither needed or wanted, headphones and two Bluetooth speakers. These arrived quickly, headphones are fine and are as expected, but the speakers! Gosh they sound absolutely terrible.

I have made three further attempts to contact Skullcandy, with no replies received.

This company is extremely difficult to deal with, they trade in either ignoring you, offering copy and paste platitudes and lies. I’d suggest they’re in breach of UK trading standards regulations, but I simply don’t have the energy to continue to battle such a company! You live, and you learn.

Do yourself a favour, buy a different brand, do not do business with this rogue trader.

Update - 6th January 2026 @1930hrs. In response to SkullCandy’s reply to my review and their subsequent direct contact to me via email, I can confirm that a resolution was proposed by them and that I have accepted this in good faith. I have now increased the star rating to two because of this.

Still waiting for order

Still waiting for order.
Placed order on the 24/12/25
I still have yet to receive an email to say it’s on the way. Tried to contact customer service but they kept saying my tracking number is not recognised. Very frustrating. Really hope I get my order soon as I paid over £200.

Left earphone broken out of the box

I won some Dime Evo earphones in a work raffle. One earphone doesn't work straight out of the box. I've spent hours on forums and watching videos to try and get the left earbud to work, to no avail. It won't turn on with any button presses, but the LED light shows that it is charging when in the case. Looking online, loads of people have problems with this happening and with just about every model of bluetooth earphones they make.

This is my second product with skullcandy but both products have been defective. Useless company.

Don't hold ya breathe!!!

As per my last review, useless customer services. I had a reply to say skull candy would contact me directly to discuss and follow up on a warranty claim. Guess what?????? I am still waiting. This was nearly a week ago. As usual, still no sign of any update on my ear buds and still no sign of skullcandy getting intouch!! I stand by my last review. USELESS!!!

Bought headphones for my son last year

Bought headphones for my son last year. One of the earbuds stopped working, so I filed a warranty claim.

The warrant claim could not be completed online on the phone as, when the relevant madel is selected a picture of the of the headphones come up and cover virtually all the screen, including the submit button (I tried this on my personal mobile and work mobile). I submitted a warranty claim through my laptop, this appeared to go through, but no email confirmation has been received.

Tried to contact Skullcandy via website, but cannot speak to an individual and could not get any response via the chat page.

Very poor service

Can’t reach them for help!! Scam!!!

Placed order at beginning of Dec and DPD returned to sender. No idea why as no delivery attempt!. Spoke with Skullcandy online (had to wait hours for a response) They gave me a code to buy the item again, code failed and they took it off my Visa card instead. £169.99!!! (Order 404048960) Phoned USA twice today, just kept on hold. Can’t get a response online or instagram. They now have my money twice and no item received. Seems they are more of a scam than an actual company.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we’re sorry for the frustration this situation has caused.

To clarify, the additional amount you’re seeing was a pre-authorization hold, not a duplicate charge. Pre-authorization holds are temporary and are released automatically if the order is not completed. Charges are only fully captured once an order has shipped.

We understand the concern caused by the courier returning the package and the difficulty reaching us, and we apologize for the delays in communication.

To ensure your order details and address are reviewed properly, we recommend reaching out via our official website by visiting https://contact.skullcandy.com/orderlookup
and entering your order number and email address. This will allow us to check your order information and address the issue correctly.

We appreciate you raising this and thank you for your patience while we work to resolve it.

Return

I love skull candy however I ordered some headphones and I requested to return them due to ordering something my boyfriend already had. I was within the 14 days and no one got back to me, Ive found the customer service quite shocking which is unfortunate because I swear by this brand.

Waiting is over!!

Final update 24.12.25. Order arrived this morning after over 2 weeks from placing order! Overall experience poor. Customer service non existent. Automated chat bot that is circular and you can’t ask any specific questions as it limits to their very short default list. Very long delivery times despite what the website advertises and you can’t cancel your order. Don’t order from them directly (I won’t again) and recommend ordering from other retailers which I did out of desperation to ensure kid had them on Christmas Day and was able to collect next day.

Update 23.12.25. Have received email notification order has finally shipped so will wait and see if it arrives and will update rating to reflect accordingly

AVOID AVOID AVOID!!! Follow up review. This company is a complete joke. Take your money and don’t deliver. That’s a breach of contract. Ordered over 2 weeks ago in good time expecting delivery of Christmas presents as they state 1-3 business days but no response, auto bot chat useless, automated responses to reviews about UK stock arrived and working through backlog, and deceiving emails titled “Delayed not forgotten” and that “ We’re working hard to get your order out the door as quickly as possible”. Can’t even cancel the order either so they’ve got your money, don’t deliver, and you can’t cancel!

Thank you for sharing your experience and for the update on your order status. We sincerely apologize for the frustration caused by the delay.

Due to an unusually high volume of orders during this period, some shipments have taken longer than our stated delivery estimates. Our fulfillment team has been working extended hours and doubling efforts to process and dispatch all orders as quickly as possible.

We understand how concerning it feels when an order is delayed, and communication does not meet expectations. We appreciate your patience and acknowledge your concerns regarding communication and order management — this feedback has been shared internally so we can improve.

We’re glad to see your order has now shipped and hope it arrives with you shortly. We appreciate your patience and the opportunity to improve based on your feedback.

Poor customer service

I set up a chat with customer service regarding a product. They didnt read what I was asking and I had to keep repeating my questions.
They kept using language that I felt was too casual for customer service telling me as much as they would love to help me and telling me to remember to keep smiling and have a great day.
I wasnt offered any information and the suggestions weren't fitting to my request.
I felt the lack of knowledge on the customer service end was poor and multiple times I questioned if I was actually talking to a person.

Avoid! No customer service!

**Update** you have only refunded me for one pair of headphones and I ordered 2 and you charged me for 2! I want my money back for the second pair please. After taking my money for 2 pairs of headphones with no promise of delivery or schedule I cancelled my order and guess what…..I’ve only been credited for 1 pair! Customer service non existent and you can create as many “tickets” as you like because no one replies! Avoid purchasing if you want your children to have a Christmas present and any money in the bank!

They have terrible customer service

I was very disappointed when the product arrived severely damaged. Went to the only way to contact them, an online chat, I was assured I would receive a refund within 5 days so I re-ordered the product, nearly a month later they are no longer replying to me and I have still not received a refund!!!

Awful customer service

I ordered an item on 27th November. As of today, 20th December, it still hasn't shipped. I have tried contacting via their chat but never get a response. I want to cancel the order as I have now purchased via Amazon, but can't see a way to do this. If the item does arrive - apparently I'm responsible for return costs, which as I have also paid for delivery seems like a kick in the teeth.

Avoid this company!

Ordered the headphones on 5th December. Appreciate it has probably been busy but the standard response was by Chatbot and I just keep going round in circles. Nobody to speak to and no email from customer services! Meant to be a Christmas present - I will be claiming my money back from my credit card. Avoid this company at all costs.
