When I ordered my Skindred album they left out the usb. I emailed them and they sent it to me the NEXT DAY?! And the customer service person was super nice !! Normally I wouldn't bother contacting a company over something like that but I love skindred and I'm glad I did because it was sorted super quick and it felt like someone cared about me for once

Got my order from earache, one of the shirts was wrong, I immediately contacted them and the correct one was sent out, and i was told there was no need to send back the incorrect item, replacement shipping was fast and "Tom" made sure to take care of me every step of the way! Thank you dude!!! And thank you EARACHE!!!!!!

Due to some shipping issues on my end, my order got returned twice. The great folks over at Earache were right on top of it and extremely helpful and understanding.
They have shipped it out again at no extra charge and have been more than happy to help figure the situation out. I've ordered from them before it it always went smoothly, and they have gone above and beyond.

My copy of the new Skindred album showed up a day early, which was great, but it was missing the USB stick, which was not so great. Mistakes happen and I get that.
I e-mailed customer service and spoke to Tom who responded within the hour and was happy to mail out the USB separately due to the error and it arrived within 48 hours.
I was not expecting such a fast turnaround resolving this issue, but I absolutely cannot complain about such efficiency. It really was appreciated, communication has been fast & easy and I couldn't be more content.
The albums slaps too.

What a waste of time and money. These people are incompetent, been over two weeks since I ordered a shirt, as to date nothing has arrived and guess what no correspondence. Stay well clear of this company.

Fantastic service. The staff really care about the customer satisfaction. I had a faulty record replaced in no time. Highly recommended!

Earache Insured I was Happy With My Order.
There was an initial problem with my order. Some of the CDs I ordered where not shipped with my original order. Tom with Earache researched the issue and communicated with me via email and ensured that the problem was corrected and that I was happy with my order. All good and special thanks to Tom!!

I pre-ordered a digital album a few years ago and truth be told I think I forgot to download it. Anyway, when I realised it was missing from my collection (the perils of using a certain streaming service alongside purchasing music), the purchase had gone from my account on the Earache website. Nevertheless, the issue was quickly sorted out by Tom at Earache in a couple of emails and I got my music. Cheers for your help, guys!

Although I initially encountered an issue with my order, the seller responded quickly and handled my complaint in a professional and friendly manner. I appreciate their efficient customer support and willingness to resolve the situation

I ordered a long-sleeve shirt and accidentally listed the wrong country with my address, leading to item being returned to sender by mistake. I was contacted by Tom, who could not have been more helpful in getting the situation resolved. Great customer service.

earache records sell relatively cheap shirts so a month before a concert i ordered a cryptopsy t shirt, i ordered it on the 7th January 2026 and since i ordered it it still has not been sent out 27/01/26 which is just unacceptable for such a well known and famous metal record company, I cannot be bothered to wait anymore, I've filed a refund and I'm just gonna order from somewhere else.
