How do we do this? Do they send packaging? Not clear in severance paperwork

I was recently laid off and I have only received one box for one monitor, no other boxes for the 2nd monitor or the laptop. Who I do contact for the additional boxes?
You should receive a shipping box and return label. Remove the hard drive and pack the laptop, docking station and cords. Should be a self return label on the box.
The axed me last fall, sent one box for the two computers I had and that was it. I have a NICE large and expensive monitor they never asked for, a pod-casting mic, a USB-C dock and a desktop stand up desk. All of which they knew I had but never sent boxes for them.
All my gain, their loss.
Here is the comical one- I was told I “should” have kept the original boxes the laptop/equipments shipped to me. Otherwise, I have to “source” the package/boxes on my own. Mind you, that was years ago.. very tempting to stuff everything in a grocery bags and ship back.. this is the kind of “talented” management continue to keep their jobs!
Laid off on 7/27, got box with return label today, they only want computer and docking station, cords back.
Tell ‘em to pound sand amiga. They stole your life
They want nothing back but the laptop. And if you never get a box to send it back it's yours. Never requested mine back nor any thing else like the great printer I had. Call HR with severance paperwork questions.
They only want the laptop all the other stuff it cost more to ship than it is worth. Most cases they have already forgotten about you anyway dont sweat it
Honestly, it's more of a hassle than I thought it would be. They will send boxes, and if you're lucky the boxes will be big enough to fit everything in.
My experience was getting comically small boxes for the monitors, just send whatever fits and keep the rest. I kept the keyboard, mouse, and laptop bag and nobody said a thing (sorta wish I kept more.).
Also, It's been three months and I am still waiting on info to ship back the modem, at this point, I doubt I hear anything. The whole thing is a bit of a sh*^show.
I left a year ago and returned only the laptop, and kept everything else (printer, monitors, headset, etc). They didn't care.
How soon after end date does the equipment label get sent? I was laid off from M&R on 7/27
They will send you a label and instructions. In some cases, they forget about you and your equipment rots out in the garage. Sums up this organization
