56. I was told by two different phone reps

Sun Sep 3, 2023, 04:36 PM

Sep 2023

That I couldn't be guaranteed the store would accept equipment turned in to them or, that it was ok to either turn equipment into the store or take to UPS store for return to Spectrum warehouse at their expense. This morning I took the equipment to a UPS store and the woman told me to be sure to keep my tracking receipt for six months! What?!? That must mean Spectrum has tried to screw someone even after equipment is received by them, claiming it wasn't!
