Can't seem to be able to get the phone I paid for

I'll try to be brief here because it's been a 3 week process.

I ordered a new phone on July 26th under the existing customer promo. The phone was mailed to me via Fedex, slated to arrive on July 28th. Long story short, Fedex lost the package and don't know where it is.

I would have thought I could just have a new one sent out as a third party lost it, but now, 2 weeks on, Xfinity doesn't want to send me the phone I paid for. Instead, they added another line, charged me full rate for the phone and sent it out. Of course, that one made it to my doorstep, but that needed to be cancelled and sent back because that line shouldn't have been created. So now I have to go to a Fedex store to send it back. All the while, they have an "open ticket" on my original phone that got lost, and don't want to send me a new one at all for that line.

They say now it'll be "resolved by August 20th", which I have no faith in, but that it is to essentially cancel that phone. So now what will happen I'm sure when they go to order a new one for me, is they'll say "oh I'm sorry, that promotion has ended and the phone is now full price".

When your Amazon package gets lost, they immediately send you a new one. Xfinity charges you for a new phone that you have to take time to physically return, and now you're out the cost of two phones until they can finish whatever crazy process they have. 

Customer service reps have done their best throughout this process, my frustration is with the system and process. But my question is, how do I get my new phone?

@user_80bwyt Our team can get a ticket created for one of our Xfinity Mobile Specialists to take a look and provide assistance. If you could please send me a DM with your first and last name along with your full-service address, we can get started.

Click "Sign In" if necessary

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon or https://comca.st/3EqVMu7

Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there

 - As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list

 - An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

Press Enter to send it
