Equipment Return Following a move

I recently moved and have been trying to give you back your Cable box and modem. I have called 3 times and the last call has been 1 hour and 20 minutes so far. I have been transferred 5 times and each operator asks me the same info and I am no closer to returning your boxes. You are a communication company. Is there any reason why it is so hard to communicate with your company? Please set up an email for this as your phone lines are garbled and difficult to hear.

What service are you talking about? There is no cable box or modem with Directv. ATT does not do customer support via email.

regardless if uverse,directv,or internet all equipment is returned the same way. have account numbers with you

you need to drop it off with a participating fedex or ups store,(not all are participating) make sure you have your account number and get a tracking number ,they will pack and ship it at no charge to you below are links to find a participating center, if you are more than 10 miles from a participating center then call and inform them your more than ten miles from a participating location and they will send boxes and labels.

www.fedex.com/attreturns or www.theupsstore.com/locations.
