    Things like rented modems and routers should be returned or you'll be charged a fee.
    • You have options to return the equipment! Here are all the ways that you can return everything to Spectrum:
      • Bring Spectrum's devices to a Spectrum store. You'll want to use this option if there's a Spectrum store close to you.
      • Go to UPS and tell them that you're returning equipment to Spectrum. In that case, UPS will package it and ship it back to Spectrum for free! This is the best choice if there aren't any Spectrum stores in your area, but there are UPS stores.
      • Request a Home Shipment Return Kit. You can get one from contacting Spectrum . The kit comes with bubble wrap and a return label, so all you have to do is put the devices in the box and drop it off with FedEx or a dropoff box. [2]
      • Request Home Pickup. Some disabled Spectrum customers can have Spectrum come to their house and get the equipment. To schedule a pickup, call (833) 267-6094 .
    • Transferring : You can also transfer your account if you're moving to another location that offers Spectrum. All you need to do is call the number and request to transfer your account to a new address!
