Return your non-working receiver
For the fastest return method:
- Take your equipment directly to your nearest FedEx Office® or The UPS Store® location. No need to pack anything – just bring your equipment in a sturdy bag or open box along with your 9-digit Account Number (located on the packing slip on your bill).
Do not include your remote control, cables, accessories or any personal equipment such as DVD players. If for any reason you removed the access card from the receiver, be sure to return it in the package as well.
- Your equipment will be scanned, packed, labeled, and returned to AT&T. Once your equipment is scanned, your return will immediately be noted on your account.
- Or, you can pack the equipment yourself. Just use the box your replacement receiver came in, or another suitable box, and use the supplied return shipping label. (Remember to keep the bottom portion of the label for your records.) Then, drop off the box at your local Post Office™ or FedEx® location. (You can track both on fedex.com.) Your return will be noted on your account when we receive it, which could take up to 2 weeks.
