equipment return

Need to return a now replaced gateway via UPS, but when I go through the returns sequence to print a UPS label, I get a message saying that 'Your equipment details are unavailable at this time' but of course, my equipment details are clearly known in my account.

@user_2a2218 Thanks for reaching out about returning your gateway. I appreciate you trying online and can make sure we get this taken care of. If you are going to a UPS store they can take care of label, packing, and shipping at no charge. If you are doing a UPS pickup, please send a direct message with your name and address.

 

 

Make sure you are signed in to forums

1. In the top right corner, you'll see a little chat icon(direct message) near the bell 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!

@XfinityEthan​ Thank you Ethan, there is a UPS store right on the way to work, so I will try it and see what happens.  There are a million complaints out there about customers trying to do this and either being told by UPS Store employees that they don't do this or being charged quite a bit for the service... hoping to avoid that.  Additionally, I have a UPS dropbox in the building I work with, so this should be super easy if I could just get a label.  I will try the UPS store first, then DM you all if that fails.  I really appreciate the help!

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

@user_2a2218 Thanks for trying! If it is a direct corporate UPS it will be a part of our free return partnership. The 3rd party stores or stores within stores normally don't take part.

This did work.  The UPS store near me handled it.  I emailed them before going over there to make sure they could do this.  They packed and shipped the old gateway at no charge.  Nice.

I am having this same exact problem - the device list for me is blank on that page, and I'm in a new zip so not near an Xfinity store. I can get to several UPS stores near my new location, but without an address label OR just a destination address, I can't do anything! Between a chat and a phone call to your support for over an hour, I've tried to resolve this without any success. Can someone help? If you give me the address to ship the router to, I can do it myself!

I have same issue as do apparently many other paying customers. The direct message link you provided lands on a "404 page could not be found" error page. We don't all live in areas that have an Xfinity store or UPS store nearby.  Please fix the self print UPS label option on the web site and in the app or find a way to email the label to customers so they can return equipment. This has been such an aggravating waste of time.
