Phone Upgraded But Xfinity Did Not Capture Trade In Request

I recently upgraded my iPhone 13 to iPhone 16 Pro. For reasons unknown, the trade in request was not captured by Xfinity, so I did not receive a return label.

The first time I tried the chat support, I was directed to take the phone and my order number to an Xfinity store for return. The associates in the store advised they could not take the phone, but printed a Trade-In RMA Receipt and directed me to a UPS store. They assured me that a mailing label was not needed. I went to the UPS store, and they were unable to accept the phone without a mailing label.

I contacted chat support again, was transferred to a different group, and was provided a phone number to call Assurant directly to get the mailing label. I called the provided number, and they were unable to process my request because my phone number did not show up.

I contacted chat support a third time, and was able to get a phone number to call. I called the number and was told my order was not processed as a trade in, despite the fact I had a trade-in receipt. I was repeatedly told there was nothing that could be done. I asked to speak to a supervisor several times. After the 5th request, the tech said a supervisor was not available. I asked for a different phone number I could call and was told that there wasn't one. I advised I would hold for a supervisor. After 15 more minutes of waiting, I was told I was being transferred to a supervisor, but I was hung up on!

I have had 3 lines with Xfinity for over 4 years. I am ready to cancel my mobile phones and my internet service. Absolutely lousy customer service in chat, over the phone, and in person at the retail location.

Thank you for reaching out to us here @user_rb1lvo. That is certainly not the experience we would like you to have, and I will be happy to look further into that from here. Could you send me a direct message with the full name and complete address for your account?
