New Customer: First bill was not adjusted to reflect returned product (Storm-Ready WiFi)

I purchased the storm-ready wifi along with my gateway because of incorrect information provided by the Xfinity sales rep. Contrary to what I was told at the store, the primary limitation of the storm-ready system is that putting the gateway in bridge mode would deem the backup system inoperable. Because of this, I had to return the system right away.

My first bill did not reflect the fact that I returned the system. I was billed for the monthly payment of the systems + all the taxes and fees associated with the cellular backup service. 

Can someone help fix my bills to reflect the return as well as credit back the overcharge on my first bill?

Hello, @user_eda731 It's likely the return will not reflect on the current bill depending on when the return was performed within your billing cycle. This means it will likely reflect on the next bill. Please allow me the opportunity to review your billing and provide some answers. Could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address? To send a direct message: 

  1. In the top right corner, you'll see a little chat icon near the bell icon. Click the direct message icon 
  2. Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon
  3. In the 'To' line, type "Xfinity Support" there. A drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list (an "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line)
  4. Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window
  5. Press Enter to send it. An official employee, such as myself or whoever is first available, will respond. Thanks!

@XfinityThomasC​ Thank you, Thomas. Just reached out to the customer service team. Unfortunately, the 'Ask Xfinity' bot just had me going in circles with no actual progress and then I spent hours on the phone (over multiple days) trying to get through to an agent only to be pushed back to the 'Ask Xfinity' bot. That bot is diminishing the customer experience and it doesn't seem to be alleviating the volume of requests coming after waiting almost 3 hours for a call back. I know it has nothing to do with you and your team but just stating as feedback because I had Xfinity for 9 years prior without any bad customer service experiences.

Thank you for the help!

Hello, how do I return the storm ready device? I've tried chatting with the bot and customer service and all they say is to bring it to UPS or to go to Xfinity.com\returns.

I've gone to the return website but the device does not show, so I can't get a return label for UPS. I brought it into the store and they also said they can't take the return.

I've filled out the online questionnaire to return it, the same one as the XFi pods. And they said they would email me within 48 hours, but I've never received that email. It seems impossible to return the device.

You should be able to take it to UPS and they can make a label and send it back for you.  Make sure you get a receipt, though.
