Equipment return

Hoping someone can help me with this one. Earlier this year I went with EE for TV and Broadband, 3 engineers and 3 separate days off work later the signal was just not there. Ended up having to cancel and EE were great, actually said to the guys on the phone when cancelling that when fiber is up and running ill be back, as I couldn't fault the customer service in the slightest, it was an issue which was totally out of EE's hands.  Sent the equipment back way before I was even disconnected, seemed pointless holding onto something I could not use, took such good care of it, I even packaged it back up in its original cardboard boxes etc. Since then I have been bombarded with texts about how I haven't returned the equipment and I am going to be fined around £200+ for both the internet equipment and TV box put together. I am not sure where to go from here. I have read posts about different postal addresses on different returns bags, I am not unsure if I have kept the proof of postage at all as I don't know which post code was on the two bags and I am totally lost. I have been a customer since 2009 and cant afford to pay this money for something I sent back in good faith. Are the goods scanned back in per customer? Is there a backlog? is there any way from EE side to show that they have received it? I am assuming there is a way of scanning them back in by serial number so they know which customer sent what? I am thinking its highly unlikely that things actually get lost in transit so it should be there. Is there a backlog at the warehouse? I am really looking for an EE team member to help with this one. Thank you so much in advance for your time

@Rach_H @Chris_S (struggling to figure out who works for EE on here and who just posts a lot) I’ve called and been told to go to post office and get a copy reciept but I have also read online that post office do not have this capability, although some may have hard copies for up to 28 days. This is way past the 28 days. I am very frustrated as I recall walking back into my office with a bunch of reciepts after a post office trip and wanting to put them somewhere safe but I cannot find them. I posted 3 parcels at the same time. The other two are both scanned back in at their companies and dealt with. I cannot fathom why anyone would keep a plastic box that is of no use to them and not return it to be honest with you. I am also concerned by the amount of posts on here from people who have been fined despite still having their proof of postage and knowing it was successfully recieved, this is a huge issue. Can either of you help?

Hi @Tina215 

I understand that it's over the 28 days that you mentioned, but have you tried popping into the post office to see if they have the receipt?

Our Customer Support team would need one of those receipts as proof of postage.
