Hi smithp1,

VM techs are picking up equipment in some areas due to covid restrictions. If it's genuine then the tech will have ID to prove they are from VM when they call.

Hi smithp1

 

Thanks for posting and welcome to the community.

 

My apologies for the delayed reply. I can see from checking the system we have issued your account to a manned collector for the equipment. Please do not worry as well, as newapollo has rightly stated, they'll give you proof of ID

 

Kind regards,

Hi VM, I just got the same text. All I think I have is a broken router, would you really waste time and money collecting that? 

Hi @GingerCrone.  Thanks for posting and welcome to our community. 

Have you arranged for a replacement hub to be sent?  If so there's a good chance that we would be taking the time to arrange the return of your previous equipment.

We had a replacement hub sent two weeks ago as the electric cable on the old one has come loose. You would really collect that?! 

GingerCrone.  If you've received a text message confirming that, then I would take that as the definitive answer.  Especially if the hub being collected is a hub 3 or above.

Regards
