How To Return Spectrum Equipment—The Process Explained

If you want to return Spectrum equipment, you can do it in one of two ways:

  1. Return it in person
  2. Bring the equipment to your nearest UPS store or FedEx or USPS Office location

Returning the Spectrum Equipment in Person

You can drop off the equipment you want to return at any Spectrum store near you. Make sure to visit during business hours, and a Spectrum service agent will handle your request.

Returning Your Equipment via Mail

If you want to ship your equipment with UPS, follow these guidelines:

  1. Go to the Spectrum website and find their UPS Store Locator tool
  2. Visit a UPS store near you
  3. Bring your equipment along with the original receipt

If there’s no UPS store in your vicinity, you can always return your equipment via USPS or FedEx:

  1. Pack your equipment in a cardboard shipping box
  2. Make sure to attach a return label
  3. Seal the box and drop it off at any FedEx Office location or USPS store

Keep in mind that a return label is required for this method. If you’ve lost it, Spectrum may complicate the procedure and reject the return.

If you’re returning your equipment via FedEx, make sure not to use the FedEx drop box. The company will not be held accountable for any damage during transport.
