Returning VM Kit
How do I go about getting a large box to return VM Kit? I was told to use this link https://virg.in/returnkit which I did but the box I was sent is too small for the kit I wish to return, it's bigger than the box. I have 2x set top boxes and a super hub, I've already returned a superhub, but I have another one that isn't in use either. The superhub may fit in the small box I have been given not checked, but the two set top boxes however will not fit in the box.11Views0likes0CommentsVirgin fail to send packaging to return tivo box
Since receiving a new tivo box over a year ago, I have contacted Virgin 8 times to request the packaging to send the old one back. This has included online, on the phone and via engineers who came to the house. Each time, there were profuse apologies and the promise to send the packaging. I am now considering taking the old box to the tip but don't want to be charged (although advisors I speak to on the phone seem unaware of the history of my dilemma or whether I may be charged). Anybody else had a similar experience and able to advise, please?43Views0likes3CommentsUnable to return VM Equipment
Hi, I've received changed the services I get from VM. VM sent me new equipment, but want the old equipment back. However, the returns label they provided (Yodel) doesn't work. I went to 3 different shops, and they either cannot scan in the item, or it freezes the machine. What do I do? I don't want to be charged for this when the label that I have been given by VM is faulty. It either doesn't scan for the shopkeeper or it breaks their machine! Thanks.497Views0likes2CommentsYodel return of 10 Aug 2024
I've had a new router delivered (I was told it needed upgrading) and have installed it. All working fine. I packed up the old one and dropped it off at my local Yodel pick-up point as requested. Today (14 August) I had an email from Virgin asking where the equipment was. Sounded a little threatening. I dropped the box off on Wednesday 10 August, was told I would receive a confirmation that Yodel had picked it up. I had entered my email address carefully on the phone they were using to manage the process at the pick-up point and checked it, but have received no receipt. I've tried downloading the Yodel app, but it won't let me enter my address to complete the installation of the app. All I've got is a photo of the label that I fixed to the box. How can I prove to Virgin that the box is on the way or find out whether that they have received it?415Views0likes2CommentsThreat I'll Be Charged For Non Return Of Equipement
After being forced to cancel my 25 years with Virgin Media after cancelling broadband and then finding out the TV won't work with it I was sent some boxes to return my equipment. I've been told via email and texts to my wife that if we don't get the equipment to you by the 29th June I'll be charged £65. The emails and texts were dated 20th June. On the 14th June at 12:34pm I went to a local Yodel drop off point and left my returning box with them. I have a receipt of proof that they had it. How am I meant to know if useless Yodel will pick it up and return it to you before that date and you'll not charge me as I've left you regardless? I said on the phone to the representative that I might come back in the future as they were so apologetic as I wasn't told that by cancelling my broadband I'd have to cancel my TV as well. The wording of the email and text are not in a nice manner and depending how this goes as to whether like I said Yodel do indeed return the items to you or you charge me will determine how I feel about re-joining in the future. I would like to know if you receive the items plus I have proof I dropped it off for you.Virgin Media cables and equipment
Hello, I moved some time ago into a house in which previous owners had used Virgin Media at some point. We have the white box outside our house and a white cable running inside the house. The cable and equipment are not connected to anything, in fact , it looks like some cables have even been cut as per pictures. We currently use Vodafone fibre FTTC, which I understand is a different technology vs Virgin Media as it uses the Openreach network. My question is pretty simple: as I am not a Virgin Media customer, can I get rid of all the cables and equipment? The white cable runs along my kitchen cabinets and is pretty ugly. I understand that as long as I use another broadband provider I don't need any of this. Am I right? And if I ever want to switch to Virgin Media an engineer would come to set it all up again? Thank you very much for your help3.6KViews0likes2CommentsMisleading equipment return information
When cancelling my service via online chat, I received misleading information from a standardised response about returning equipment. Being autistic, I find it very difficult to manage ambiguity. The agent providing service refused to help me and cut me off. the confusion I had was from this statement: “The equipment returns package will be sent to you within 10 days after your disconnection date and we ask you return the equipment back to us at your earliest convenience. If your equipment is not returned a charge may be applicable.” I asked what the criteria was for deciding if a charge was applicable, because it uses the word “may”. they wouldn’t help me understand this. It is misleading. Either tell me a charge will be made or tell me it won’t be made; or tell me under what circumstances it may or may not be charged. they cut me off, leaving me feeling worthless and like I’d done something wrong for asking for certainty. can I be given a definite answer or some clarification? how can I speak with someone who understands autism?682Views0likes2Comments
