Using Prepaid FedEx Shipping Labels

RCN appreciates your efforts to return our equipment. To make this transaction as convenient as possible, first call us to schedule the disconnect work order (1-800-746-4726). We can provide you with a prepaid FedEx shipping label. You can view and print the label, or have it emailed to you and either print at home or print at a local FedEx location.

Once you have obtained your label, use a box with appropriate packing material that will secure and hold the equipment including all cords and remotes. Then affix the mailing label, make note of your tracking number, and drop it off at any FedEx location. It’s that simple!
