Re: I’ve returned my broadband equipment but sky says they haven’t got it?

This is still happening in 2022. I have proof of posting and Post Office track and trace says the equipment has been delivered.  I have replied to an email but no reply yet from Sky.

@SkyWise 

It's unlikely Sky will reply as they don't use email as a general method of contact.


This has been a problem for a while as Unipart, the company who receive the returns on behalf of Sky in the UK, appear to be very slow in updating Sky that a customer has returned their equipment.
If you have kept your proof of posting there shouldn’t be a problem, so I’ve escalated your post to Sky and someone from the Escalation Team may get in touch with you later or maybe tomorrow.

Look out for an email and also a blue/red speech bubble on the bottom left of your forum page. Once that speech bubble appears you only have 48 hours to join the private chat or it will close automatically. Also, if you fail to respond to each message from Sky within 48 hours the chat will automatically close down even if your issue isn’t resolved. Replies on the chat aren’t instant so keep checking the chat thread regularly.

You need to make sure that your email/private message notifications are switched to ‘on’ to avoid missing the alerts.

If you are using Safari also make sure that Hide IP Address is not checked in order to see the blue bubble. If you have trouble finding this to check the settings, use another browser such as Chrome or Firefox.

Im also getting this problem I have tracked the parcel and Royal Mail show it was returned but sky still saying they want to charge me - the online chat bot is rubbish and no number to call or email response it's like well just charge you anyway no matter what you can prove and then you can take sky to court at own expense to get money back that is atrocious

Re: I’ve returned my broadband equipment but sky says they haven’t got it?

Good morning guys! Hope somebody can help me.

 

I returned my sky equipment nearly a week ago. I have proof in post office reciept showing unipart logistics postcode and weight of parcel etc.

 

This morning £170 has been taken out of my account. I had no email, no correspondence to say they were going to do this.

 

Times are tough and the whole reason for returning my sky was I just couldn't afford it any more. I'm living week to week and need this £170 back

 

Really disheartened by sky's response in these times

 

Please help

@Sunny+N 

Unfortunately we believe returns are taking two weeks to be processed once they arrive at Unipart so yours might still be waiting in a pile so it may be too early for your issue to be escalated to Sky.

@Sunny+N 

£170 doesnt sound right just for a Sky hub return. Did you cancel while in contract? That may be the early termination charges
