Returns charge
Hi all, I returned my Sky Q 2TB box and mini box on 29/05/2025, both packed in the same parcel. Since then, I've received several emails and text messages saying the equipment hasn't been received. None of these messages allow replies, and now I've just received another email (again with no reply option) stating I've been charged £52 for non-return.
Strangely, only one charge has appeared — for the mini box (£52) — yet both items were sent back together. According to Sky's own fees, the 2TB box should incur a £135 non-return charge, so it's puzzling that they seem to have received one but not the other.
I've scoured the Sky website for a direct email address to sort this out, but like many large companies nowadays, it’s a maze of unhelpful FAQs. Searching online just loops you right back to them. Eventually, I landed here, on the community forum — which, frankly, feels like unpaid customer service. Sky should really be hiring dedicated support staff for this instead of relying on volunteers.
I’ve been a customer for 20 years and spent over £10,000, and now I'm being charged unnecessarily due to poor communication and an inaccessible support system. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

Re: Returns charge
@CraigWaddington Your tenure and spend amount have zero bearing on the issue you have.
Did you keep proof of postage for both items?
If so we can escalate your post to Sky Community Messaging Team.

Both items were in the same box and yes I have got a postage receipt.

Re: Returns charge
@CraigWaddington
I’ve escalated your post to Sky and their Messaging Team should contact you later today.
Look out for a post on this thread from one of the team inviting you to a private chat and then you should see a blue/red speech bubble at the bottom of your forum page. You’ll have 48 hours to click on it and start the private chat or it will close automatically. If you fail to respond to a chat reply within 48 hours the chat will again close down automatically even if your issue hasn’t been resolved. Replies from Sky aren’t instant so you’ll need to check the chat thread periodically.
This link explains what happens.
