⚠ Do NOT drop equipment at these stores

These branded retail stores share the carrier's name but cannot accept equipment returns for this service. Confirm before driving:

  • Cox Authorized Retailers (third-party stores selling Cox service but not always equipped to process returns)

Common mistake: Cox Solutions Stores (corporate) handle returns. Third-party 'Cox Authorized Retailers' may not. Confirm corporate-status by calling 1-800-234-3993 before driving.
