Return label options

After entering your name and address on the UPS returns site, you will have two options. Don't have a printer? Not a problem. There are options that don't require printing.
 

  • Print and email your return label: The label will be emailed to you as a PDF, so you can print it right away or save it for later. 

  • Request a QR code: You will receive an email with a digital code that you can bring to a UPS Store along with your packed boxed. The store clerk will scan the QR code, print your return label, and ship the package for you.

Packing and shipping instructions

Next, follow these steps carefully so your equipment arrives safely and is processed correctly to avoid additional charges. 
 

  1. Gather any equipment that you leased from Quantum Fiber, with cords. Depending on your setup, you may need to return a freestanding modem, 360 WiFi pods, or both. If you have a wall-mounted SmartNID, it stays with the property; PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE IT.

  2. Pack all the equipment in a sturdy box. Use plenty of cushioning material such as bubble wrap, paper padding, or foam to make sure everything is secure and well padded. 

  3. Close the box with packing tape.

  4. Cover or remove any previous shipping labels on the outside of the box.

  5. Fold the printed label at the solid line. Attach it to a single side of the box in a clear shipping pouch or by covering the entire label with clear tape.

  6. Drop the box off at any authorized UPS Shipping Center location near you.

If you have Instant 360 WiFi or Instant WiFi service, you will leave WiFi pods and any other equipment when you move. Look for a sticker like this one to remind you. Please do not remove equipment from your unit.
