troble returning flex box

I have set up a pick-up with ups and no one showed up.  I paid the fee to do so.  I can't drive anywhere to drop it off because I don't drive and as it stands I am unable to ask anyone to take me.  As it stands I am unable to return it until most likely in September and I am really concerned about any charges because of the situation.  Where I live ups does not want to deliver and pick-up and I have no control over this...so what am I suppose to do?

Hi there, @alicegol2, thank you for taking the time to reach out to us through our Xfinity Forums. I am sad to hear you are experiencing an issue with return your Flex box. 

 

Did you reach out to UPS already regarding the missed pick up? Are they able to reschedule someone to go out? You stated you paid the fee, what fee is this? If you went through our Digital Return Center you should be able to print out a prepaid shipping label so no charges will incur.

This is the second time answering this response.  Yes, I contacted ups and stated to them about the missed pick-up.  To have them do it again I would have to pay the pick up fee once again.  They will not pick up unless you pay the fee.  There is nothing wrong with the label I printed from your site...its just that you have to pay the pick up fee.  In the beginning it was $14.00 to do so.  When I did the request this time online it was eight dollars. I paid that and no one showed up.  Now, I don't see myself repaying this fee every time there is a missed pick up.  And I am not doing this again over a box I never requested to begin with. As I said my situation at this moment is not available to me to ask anyone to send it for me or take me.  Its just not available to me and because my situation is like this all I find is that I'm being charged when there is nothing I can do about this until it becomes available to me.

Thank you for that explanation, @alicegol2! It sounds like the processing/return fee is something your local UPS is charging (possibly due to your location and/or distance from the closest UPS Store). Since you are unable to physically take the equipment to an Xfinity Store or UPS Store, my recommendation is to speak with UPS directly regarding the pick-up issues you've had. Alternatively, we're more than happy to review your account! Our Flex service along with the first streaming TV Box is free, so you may not be charged on our end if you decide to keep the service/equipment for now. If you want us to take a closer look, please send our team a Direct Message to get started.

I wanted to add this...I have talked to ups about the missed pick-up and they go by the drivers response to the reason why they didn't pick it up...that's what I get back from them what the driver stated to them.  They can't force a driver to pick it up...whatever he states that's it...they accept that and that's what they state back to me.  How are they going to listen to me when the driver 's reason is what they accept.
