Need help returning equipment

I have package all of the items in the box and search yodel only to find out the closest to me is just under a mile which is way to far to be walking with a large box with both tv box/web box plus all the extras plus a number of reviews say the shop owner doesn’t take yodel packages any longer.? I have contacted customer support only to find out virgin media have over charged me by £28 but was told by your unbelievable inexperienced customer service I would get £84 refund very bad when even your own staff don’t understand what they are looking. Also been told refunds takes 45 days got a strong feeling I’m not going to see that money again with out many more pointless phone calls. Also was told their a ten day waiting time for the virgin media pick up team to send me a email to confirm pick up delivery for equipment . I informed them the threat of being charged if the equipment isn’t back by the 2 October but no help what so ever if this is the best customer service it’s amazing the company still exist. The service’s/connections are very good but that is totally destroyed with the customer service experience beyond terrible and that’s why I will not be back after 23 years. All I want is to get hold of a person that know what they are talking about/doing to pick up delivery of their equipment. Once your account closed no complaints just one useless customer service number. Why lie so much and make everything so frustrating.?

    Hi Robrequireshelp thanks for your post although we're sorry to hear of your concerns raised here.

    We do really want to help here, but we can only advise of the returns locations listed in your area for Yodel. Alternatively, our colleagues at O2 also accept returns so if there's a store near you, you can also return to them directly too 😊

    We hope this helps and if you need any further help please don't hesitate to let us know.

    Many thanks

      Can’t believe iv just got a non-reply text telling me the equipment should have been returned by now. I did return it and here the details. parcel tracking [MOD EDIT: PERSONAL INFORMATION REMOVED] Once I had the receipt nothing todo with me. I suggest virgin media stop using useless cheap delivery services then blaming ex-customers and trying to scam extra money from them. Still nothing about my refund but not really surprised about that tbh.

        Hi again Robrequireshelp 

        VM send out automated emails regarding returned equipment until the actual received item returns are updated onto their systems..  

        The actual equipment returns are scanned in bulk and this process can take up to 10 working days before the systems are updated.

        A member of the forum team may be able to check this for you in a day or two and confirm that the equipment has been received.
