prepaid return label

I have been trying for OVER a month to get a prepaid return label so I can return the modem that I'm no longer using but still being charged for. I have placed several phone calls and had multiple chats and in total I have easily spent SIX HOURS and I still do not have a label. The process to request a label online keeps resulting in an error that says "your equipment details are unavailable at this time" which makes ZERO sense because I had to check the box next to the equipment I am trying to return. I've honestly never seen a website (especially for a company of this size) have SO MANY issues! In the past several months no matter what task I am trying to complete through the website I just get errors or the webpage just malfunctions.

I don't live near a Xfinity or UPS store so I NEED to be able to print a return label myself! Can someone PLEASE help me with this?!?

user_atll2g Good morning! We appreciate you reaching out to our Xfinity Forums Team regarding your return label. I can definitely see how it would be frustrating not being able to get a return label. I'm happy to help you get what you need to return your equipment. To begin, can you please send a Direct Message with your name, and the address to where you had services? 
 
Click "Sign In" if necessary
Click the "Direct Message" icon or  https://forums.xfinity.com/direct-messaging
Click the "New message" (pen and paper) icon
The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there.
As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list.
A "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line.
Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

Per the instructions I received from customer service, I attempted to drop off the equipment at the designated location and that location said they can NOT ship the equipment because they do not have the address to return the equipment to. This is absolutely ridiculous! It should not take MONTHS to get a return shipping label!!! I do NOT have a local UPS store. I was told to bring the equipment to the Staples store who has a UPS drop-off but Staples is NOT a UPS store. I NEED someone to email me a return label. I am DONE with the run around and I am not spending anymore of my time on chat for HOURS at a time.

Thank you for reaching out. Have you already tried to generate the return label online using the Xfinity App? 

 

 

Use a home–printed or Xfinity–provided (if applicable) prepaid return label and drop the equipment off at a UPS location.

1) Use the prepaid return label from your most recent Xfinity shipment (if applicable).
 - If you received a prepaid return label in a recent shipment, proceed to step 6.
 - If you haven’t received a prepaid return label in a recent shipment, proceed to step 2 for at–home printing instructions.
2) Sign in and visit the Equipment Return page.
  Note: You must have your Xfinity ID  and password to process your return online. If you need help with your ID or password, go here.
 - Already submitted a return request?
- You can track your return at the Pending return status page.
3) Check off the device(s) you'd like to return and select Continue.
 - When returning your device(s), check the serial number on the device to ensure that it matches your selection.
  Note: If you're returning a TV Box, you can click Identify Device.
 - This will send a signal to that specific TV and display an on–screen message to let you know it's the correct TV Box.
4) Choose a reason for return and press Continue.
5) Select a return option, follow the listed instructions and press Confirm.
   If you’ve selected UPS Prepaid Shipping:
 - Return to the Device Management Center.
 - Select Return Details for the device you’re returning.
 - Click Print Shipping Label to print the label for your package.
6) Put the equipment being returned into its original box or any at–home cardboard box that fits your equipment. Note that only the device, remote, and power cord need to be returned. There is no need to return HDMI, Ethernet, or cable wires. Ensure the device is securely placed in the box and add any additional padding (newspaper, cardboard, etc.), if necessary.
7) Place your UPS prepaid shipping label on the outside.
 - Keep the top portion of the label with the tracking number included, as this will be your receipt.
8) You can either:
 - Drop the package off anywhere UPS shipments are accepted.
 - Find the nearest drop–off location here.
 - Call 1–800–PICK–UPS to schedule an at–home pickup by using the label tracking number.

This is the issue- your website won't let me print a label. I get all the way to the end and it gives me an error! I have spent HOURS on at least 5 separate chats and the solution I am given each time doesn't work. -First, I was told to go on the website and print the label=doesn't work. Next I was told to call the UPS number and tell them we need a label and schedule a pick up. Yea, UPS can't bring me a label and they need a tracking number in order to schedule a pickup. Then I was told to bring the equipment to the local Staples that has a UPS drop-off inside. I bring it there and they tell me they can't accept the equipment because they don't have the address that the equipment needs to be shipped to. It's insane that MULTIPLE contacts with customer service has resulted in WRONG information pretty much EVERY time!!

I just tried again to print the label online and again I go through the whole process (select the equipment being returned, the reason for the return, and the pre-paid label option) and the next screen it brings me to says "Sorry, This Isn’t Working Right Now Your equipment details are unavailable at this time. Please check back later to see if you're eligible for a device update."

This link https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/returning-your-equipment has great information on how you can return the equipment at a local Xfinity store or a UPS location https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/find-a-comcast-service-center

 

If you can't print off the UPS shipping label, you can take it to a UPS store that does the equipment returns for  Xfinity,  you don't need an actual shipping label as UPS  will box it up and send it to Xfinity for you.  If that's not an option you can always take it to the local Xfinity store

 

I would recommend clearing your caches and cookies on the device you're using to see if you can print off the UPS shipping label if you're in need of having UPS come pick up the equipment for you

If clearing the caches and cookies still don't give you access to print off the prepaid shipping label,  go ahead and send me a direct message including your name complete address and I should have a way to mail you out a prepaid shipping label so you can have that equipment returned so those charges can be removed

 

Here's the detailed steps to direct message us:

 

  • Click "Sign In" if necessary
  • Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon
  • Type "Xfinity Support" in the to line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list
  • Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window
  • Press Enter to send your message
