replacement for my cable box

A replacement cable box was ordered for my at my local Xfinity store 10 days ago.  It was never received.  It is an older box, a DTA box.  I went in again today and she reordered but told me to contact Customer service to see if that box still exists or if there is a replacement for it, and that is why it didn't ship.  Also I should not be paying for that box if it doens't work so my bill should be adjusted.  What is with the box?

I ordered a new box to replace the one that stopped working. it took 5 days to get. opened the box and to my surprise they shipped me a 4-5 year old box.

 Finger prints and none of the items were wrapped. I pay for the best plan Xfinity has. sure didn't get the best equipment!

I had gone to the store originally and was told they had no cable boxes in the store and I was instructed to go home and call. 

What a [Edited: "Language"] poor business! Ive been a customer 43 years and this may be the final straw.

good luck!

user_4d0pzy I would be happy to help you with getting a replacement device, and to remove the fee for the box that isn't working you would want to return it. I'm not able to remove fee's for any device that is listed on the account as currently in use, but returning it get's the fee for it removed. 

Can you send us a direct message with your full name, name of account holder (if different), and service address please?
