Take it to any VZW Corporate Store and return the device. Bring all accessories as well as the receipt (which can be found on Documents and Receipts online). Print out or screenshot the Samsung website saying you are entitled to a refund.

They are no longer accepting Note 7 returns in the stores.

They have a 'flyer' that tells you what to do but it ASSUMES that you are going to get another new phone.

They could not answer my questions about obtaining the recovery packaging to ship the Note 7 back and told me to chat online with Verizon. That person was clueless and was trying to get me to do a 'trade in' which did not work. Now this morning, I need to call the Customer Service number. It should not be that difficult to get a recovery package to ship the phone back. The online person should have been able to take my address and send it out but NO!!!!!!

I called in late Tuesday night to 611 and a very helpful person working in California didn't know how to handle my refund (paid for the phone, no upgrade/payment involved). she talked to her boss that didn't know how to process it either. She was going to call me Wednesday after the boss got more information but - no phone call.

I went to my order history page (searched return in the top corner search window to find right page) and the original online order said it was within the return period (but the store exchange was not). out of curiousity i clicked the return links and printed a USPS mailing label

i won't be mailing it back just yet - i know they wanted their special box used, and I want to KNOW that my CC will be credited the 900 bucks...

anyway - my story doesn't help you much but at least you know you're not alone!

I'm sorry you haven't heard back about your return process, shrxwin. You are able to complete a return for your device without upgrading. A prepaid box is being delivered to the address on file and a refund will be provided to your payment method since you purchased at full retail.

Yes I was planning to go to Google Fi until the note came out. I will just continue with this plan since I rarely ever use data. I don't see any other phone on the market that really catches my eye and the Note 7 was great for my work and school life. I understand this is a new precedence for a recall and I am sure all carriers are just trying to figure it out. I am just disappointed in the lack of communication to get a simple box sent to ones house.
