How do I return my Genie minis after getting a Gemini?

For the fastest return method: Take your equipment directly to your nearest FedEx® Office Print & Ship Center or The UPS Store® location. No need to pack anything—just bring your equipment in a sturdy bag or open box, along with your 9-digit account number (located on the packing slip on your bill). Do not include your remote control, cables, accessories or any personal equipment, such as DVD players. If for any reason you removed the access card from the receiver, be sure to return it in the package as well. Your equipment will be scanned, packed, labeled and returned to DIRECTV. Once it’s scanned, your return will immediately be noted on your account. Or you can pack the equipment yourself in the box your replacement receiver came in, or another suitable box, and use the supplied return shipping label. (Remember to keep the bottom portion of the label for your records.) Then just hand the box to your letter carrier or drop it off at your local Post Office.™ Your return will be noted on your account when we receive it, which could take up to 2 weeks.
