Flex box is not free

2 years ago when I was renewing my Xfinity customer service in the phone asked me if I wanted a flex box and said it’s free. I said no I don’t need it but they sent it anyway and said it’s free and doesn’t need to be returned. Now I just canceled my service and they said I need to return the flex box and I have no clue where it is since I never tried to set it up.

Thank you for reaching out to us @user_97f01f! This is far from the experience we want you to have. The first rental box is free with the Xfinity Flex services. As a rental device, there is an unreturned equipment fee if the service is cancelled and the Flex box is not returned.

I have the same problem. They told me it’s free and sent it to my anyway. Then I donated it when I was moving. And now they charged me $120 for it. I never used it either!

Hi there @user_kb4vuw. Now our Flex box has no monthly rental fee like modem does. It is not free for you to keep, it is still Comcast property. I am sorry for the confusion it has caused you.
