DO NOT TRY THEIR FREE TRIAL: IT'S A TRAP

They cancelled my account, they are not giving me any service, yet they're charging me £106.60!
Customer service is ignoring me.

Useful and easy to use

It’s super useful and easy to use. I would happily recommend it. One of the best VPNs out there, and absolutely reasonable for the price.

I have not been refunded

I requested a refund more than 2 days ago since the Brazil server was terrible, super slow, disconnecting.

Hi Glauco, if you're eligible for a refund and having trouble claiming it - we would gladly assist you with the process.

If you're willing, we could investigate the connection issues you had with our Brazil location as well.

Could you contact us directly at miles@surfshark.com? Thank you!

Make sure you keep prompting for a live agent!

FINALLY got through to a live chat agent, and she got my problem solved quickly, as opposed to the utterly useless AI chat agent. In either case, a live support phone call would be preferable. You'd think a company as large as Surfshark would have a lot more respect for its paying customers.

Having had 2 years trouble free I renewed but after 3 months it is making my laptop unusable without disabling it. Can I have a refund. Not after 90 days came their reply . So I have paid for 2 years but for something defective. Customer service responsive but no use unless you know your way around their functions .

A very bad experience

A very bad experience. I purchased a trial redemption code from Eneba and forgot to deactivate the subscription. On the first day, I received an email about Surfshark being charged. I immediately requested a refund through PayPal.

I was charged money and opened a dispute with PayPal, but I lost due to insufficient data. My money wasn't returned, and I still didn't receive the product. They just took my money but refused to deliver it. I was very disappointed.

If I can't get my money back, at least you can reinstate my subscription.

They make rules that benefit themselves.

Hi there, thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. We completely understand how frustrating this situation can be, and would like to clarify what happened.

When refund requests are sent directly to us, we're able to handle everything on our side and assist you right away. However, if a refund request is submitted through a payment provider instead of directly through us, the provider takes over the refund process and the subscription is automatically canceled.

That said, we'd like to take a closer look at your situation. Please reach out to our Community Manager, Miles, at miles@surfshark.com, and we'll look at it together to see how we can help resolve it.

Excellent customer support and quick resolution

I had an issue with an automatic subscription renewal after a free trial. The automated refund process did not allow me to request a refund, but I contacted customer support and Frank was very helpful. He reviewed my case, understood my situation, and provided a solution quickly and professionally.

I really appreciate the patience, understanding, and support I received. Great customer service experience.

Working well

Working well, the antivirus is also a feature that is reassuring. But not being a tip top pc operator myself I am sure someone much more experienced then me could write a more comphensive review. That being said, Surfshark has not given me any surprises and I feel it is worth the money, and is by far better then not having "nothing". I would recommend Surfshark. This is the opinion of a 71 year old take it or leave. Enjoy your time in the sun, Thank you Dan

Their customer support is outstanding

Their customer support is outstanding! I had some issues over in Asia, spoke to Ashton via online chat, she even explained further why, and after looking into my account, they kindly settled my account most fairly as possible.

Won't hesitate to using them again once i'm overseas again from Canada.
