I agree. I just didn't see why Juan felt the need to quote and correct ncted's post when it was factually correct. Juan could have just as easily stated that DISH charges for returned equipment, without quoting ncted at all.
The way I see it... if they really want their equipment back they’ll pay for the shipping or have a tech pick it up.
They will be glad to let you keep the equipment. Instead paying $15 to ship it back, you'll pay full price for the each receiver....
Full price for used obsolete equipment..what a scam
If the equipment is obsolete they will tell you to recycle it. They don't want it back. I had this happen in the past with a 301.
Perhaps I didn’t have to pay because I had the protection plan? It has been a few years though. Directv charged me $30 when I cancelled in September.
It is $15 for each label used. I believe you can still skip the fee by using your own shipping. The label is prepaid, meaning when you take it to UPS, you do not have to pay UPS, but Dish will add their expense of it($15) on your bill.
yep, so as has been mentioned before, cut back to one receiver before cancelling. Dish will pay for those receivers to be returned.
I seem to remember another poster in a different thread suggesting that having the protection plan might make the difference in not having to pay the shipping cost when you return equipment upon cancellation of service, but I'm not sure. I think you should probably take other posters advice about this matter.
When you cancel dish the dark clouds over your house start to go away, the sun comes out and your grass starts to turn green again.
Yea you can use your own label
If you have multiple boxes you can put everything in 1 big box and use dish networks label to save money.
Also if there was a way to use the tracking number on the label and put it on a regular ups label you’d likely to avoid the fees.
I don’t think Dish audits on the tracking number, but rather if it’s a yellow ARS label attached to the outside of the box when they process the return.
You could even send the box to dish and just have the shipping charges billed to receiver and dish would likely never catch it.
As far as the LNB and remotes, it’s a non serialized item. As long as there is a remote or LNB in the box it’s considered returned. If you have a dp44 switch they have no way of tracking the satellite configuration on the account level.
That literally happened at my house when I cancelled Dish in the dead of winter.
Yep, that's called false Spring.
Same here, the deep freeze finally ended last week and today was 55
