Yodel parcel return

Having cancelled my service I asked for a box to return the equipment which I received on the 4 June. I posted the returned equipment on the same day and got a receipt. According to Yodel tracking, they have the parcel and it is on the way to Virgin media. However VM have written to me twice asking me why I haven't returned the items yet.

How do I tell them I've already sent it? I can post a photo of the receipt from the drop off centre if required.

    Hi greysts1 

    The emails are automatically generated by the billing system.

    VM can't update the systems if the equipment is still in transit. Transit can take between 7 to 10 working days.

    Once VM receive the equipment and it's scanned into the systems then the billing account will be updated. (The returns are scanned in bulk )

      Thanks for both replies. Yodel tracking shows they have now handed over the parcel to Virgin so I will wait a little longer for confirmation from them.

  • VM have now acknowledged receipt of my return, This post can now be closed, thanks.
