Laptop and peripherals (docking station, etc) went back to the company. Company sent boxes with packing materials and a printed shipping label.

Kept company phone - wiped it and got to repurpose it. They didn't want it back if I wanted it, but would have allowed me to return it if I also didn't want it.

Thanks for the feedback, to compare size and industry could you tell me the companies name?

Doing some research in the space.

Sorry, I don't share that so I don't fully dox myself (prefer to remain anonymous).

Will say it's large tech company.

Will also say the original labels sent by the third party contractor that was collecting the equipment were a) for the wrong delivery vendor (UPS rather than FedEx) and b) were also to be returned to the wrong company, a large healthcare company. That took some straightening out. So it's not a perfect system.

Naturally my preference would be keep it but companies want their stuff back and this is how it has been for me.

Company usually sends out a box with labels for laptops. That's about it. Kept all the trade show pens.

I had two whole boxes of promotional supplies from 2019!

I gave much of it away to my BIL, who still works at the company as a product engineer, and whose team never got the fun stuff. So I took care of that. Pens, notebooks, a few nice coffee tumblers and water bottles are still here. I'd forgotten about that, as I was only thinking about the electronic items that belonged to the company. Heck, they don't even know I have the stuff; a marketing manager surprised me with the shipment in the first place. She thought it would be helpful for me to have so I didn't have to make a trip to the office to raid a closet or two.

Like others have said - My computer went pack with the box & return label they sent me. They did let me keep the accessories though so that was cool. I got to keep the keyboard, mouse, and laptop stand

My peripherals were the docking station. Mouse, etc., I did keep.

I've had companies send me the box with a return table along and then another used Rippling who handles it for you. Rippling will also warehouse it to my understanding

Here we have to return them personally and you would get a refund for the transportation you utilized to carry them from your home to the workplace!
