Xfinity Sending Equipment I Didn't Order?

Just got a text from Xfinity that my order has been shipped.  But, I didn't order anything.  When I click on the link to track order, it says label created, and it weighs six pounds, so I imagine it's hardware.  If I go to my web account, all it gives me is the UPS link, which gives no additional information.

The  order is going to my vacation home, 150 miles away, and no one is there to reject.

The same thing happened about 1 1/2 years ago, and all I could do was let it get delivered and hope no one stole it before I could drive up to send back.  I told UPS not to deliver, but they did anyway.

How do I find out what this is, and stop it?

Why does this keep happening?

Hello, @a2903, one of the many benefits of having Xfinity service is we can always fix this type of issue even if the equipment is lost or stolen. This is not your fault. You can always try to cancel with UPS, but we will need to look at your account to get more information. Feel free to send your name and service address to "Xfinity Support" using the Direct Messaging icon at the top of the page. If we can locate your account we can see if there's any helpful details in the open order.

I just got an email from Xfinity that's what being sent is an X1.  The thing is, I already have X1 boxes.  I don't have the X1 gateway, though.  I have an older Arris modem, and my own wifi router that I spent a lot of money for.  I like to configure my own stuff, I never order, nor do I want, the X1 gateway:

Xfinity X1 is on its way

Thank you for the details, while refusing the delivery is the best way to get this returned, I am happy to take a closer look at what was entered for delivery.

I had the same problem. I got an email from xfinity that they are sending a shipment that I did not order. I contacted the xfinity support through the chat (as I was not able to get anyone on the phone) 3 times during last 3 days and they all told me the same thing that there is no order on my account, so the email was sent due to some system glitch. They also told me to ignore the email. When I told them that UPS has also sent me the tracking information, they kept saying the same thing, that the email was sent by mistake and I should ignore. Today I got the package delivered through UPS. So, I contacted the xfinity support again today (finally I was able to talk to someone on phone) to find out how to return that shipment that I did not order.  The rep told me to either drop off at UPS or call the UPS for pickup. The problem is that UPS will not accept the package without a return authorization code or return shipment label. The xfinity support rep on phone expressed their inability to do anything else in this regard. I am now left with a package that I did not order and do not know how to return it to xfinity.

Hello @user_4052db I am sorry to hear of this experience and we'd be happy to help. In order for UPS to pick up the equipment, they would need a return label which can be printed online via our return center at Return Center; by selecting the correct listed equipment, or in store, we do have a partnership with them where you can just take in the equipment and they'll send it back to us. You can also drop off at any Xfinity Store as well. Please let us know if you need further assistance.
