Help with equipment returns

I have tried to go to the website page to select the equipment I want to return, but no equipment is listed.  I spent an hour on the chat with a rep who finally said that because the account was closed, I have to physically drop it off.  IO am 85 and the nearest location is over an hour away.  How do I get a label?  Thanks.

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

Thanks for reaching out — we know how frustrating this process can be, and we’re here to help make it as easy as possible.

 

Since your account is already closed and the equipment isn’t showing up online, you won’t be able to generate a return label through the usual method. In these cases, returns do need to be done in person at a local Xfinity Store or UPS Store.

 

Here’s a direct link with more info and step-by-step instructions:
xfinity.com/returns

 

We completely understand that traveling over an hour isn’t ideal — especially when you just want to return your equipment and be done with it. If you have someone who can return it on your behalf, that’s perfectly fine too. Just make sure they bring the equipment and your account number (or the name and address on the account).

You're most welcome @user_rr07hl. Please be sure to obtain a return receipt as well. One thing I recommend is taking a picture of the return receipt and emailing it to yourself so you always have a copy on hand in case you need it in the future.

I am sorry, but that seems really strange.  Why aren’t you able to generate a label?  What is the difference between the equipment arriving in a box with all the appropriate information or by a person??  Re you really saying that if I have to drive two hours roundtrip???  I was mailed the equipment, so why can’t I mail it back????  Please help!

Totally understandable — we hear you, and you're absolutely right to ask these questions.

 

When an account is still active, we're able to generate a return label because the system recognizes the equipment as linked to that account. But once the account is closed, the return process changes a bit. The system no longer lists the equipment under the online return tool, which is why you're not seeing anything there — and unfortunately, that means the option to create a shipping label automatically isn’t available.

 

We know how frustrating that sounds, especially since you received the equipment by mail. The difference comes down to how the return system is designed — and we agree, it doesn’t always work in a way that makes sense, especially for situations like yours.

 

That said, you can still drop the equipment off at any UPS Store — not just an Xfinity Store — and they'll handle the return for you at no cost. You don’t need a label or box; just bring the equipment in, let them know it’s a return to Comcast, and they’ll take care of the rest.
