If I'd have known it'd take an extra week, I'd have used their labels over the old ones of the box it came in...ofc not everyone's budget gets stretched too far cuz of a $450+ hold tying up their cash flow or 'cash dribble' at times... :rolleyes:

Well, mine finally made it with zero updates between my post office in Michigan and the destination.

So it took eleven days to go three states away, apparently without stopping once.

Managed to get the imei from the person who sold me what i traded in. Hopefully that will help.

My trade in was confirmed today - Google backed it up with a Saturday Email. Need to wait 2 -5 business days for the money to show up.

Can I send it with UPS instead of USPS and pay for the shipping or there's something specific that it has to be in their enveloppe?

Just got my trade in quote. Has been almost a month since sending it in. USPS still shows not delivered, lol. I got a quote for $260 instead of $300 due to "Major LCD Damage". I took a video of the phone powering on and sent google a screenshot of the white google screen. LCD is fine. Yea when mailing in your phones MAKE SURE to take pics/video of the phone because it seems there is an endemic of value scamming it seems.Hopfully I'll get my extra $40. Heres a pic of my phone with "Major LCD Damage".



Edit: total scam. They still upheld $260. I complained. Showed video that pic was based And they offered $40 appeasment store credit. WTF. No..put it on my CARD. 260+40. Requested supervisor. I mean come on, really? What a scam.
Nov-2022 Update - I kept complaining to them about this and they FINALLY put a $40 refund on my credit card. (I think I still have a $40 store credit too). So I got my $300($340) for a quoted 4a5g in acceptable condition. Better late than never.

Does anyone have the address for the La Vergne, TN warehouse that receives these returns? USPS lost my package but I didn't think to get a picture of the address on the return label and Google support apparently doesn't know the addres... I need the full address to file a claim with USPS.

No you do not. And google knows this information. I'm sorry to tell you this. But from someone who had to wait 2 months for a $40 refund from a promised $300 trade in value with videos to prove it--I had to shove the video evidence down their $*$&$ing throats over and over until I found someone with a heart and a brain who escalated the issue.

Therefore with your issue, you need to hound the ***k out of them. Don't stop. You are a paying customer. They have that information. You should not have to be Google's slueth/gumshoe. Make THEM do their jobs.

sounds like you need to talk to a different rep. they are going to want your order number for the trade-in, the imei of the phone, and maybe the tracking number.
It has been 4 months and usps says my return is still "In transit but arriving late" once i gave my imei the credit was processed within a business week.

    Can someone post a picture or two what the kit and return form looks like? Since mine says delivered and I never got it, I'm about ready to just pay to mail it back myself. Just want to be sure I get the paperwork/return address right.

    Mail to: RECEIVING MANAGER-DOCK 25
    601 MASON RD STE 180; LA VERNE TN 37086-9917. There is more data re trade-in (invoice & item numbers plus Trade Date) on the return label.

    Received my return kit beginning of last week. Sent the phone out last Weds. Once it was in the USPS system it had an estimated date of delivery of Saturday 8/6. What I have showing currently is "
    August 8, 2022, 5:53 am
    Departed USPS Regional Facility
    NASHVILLE TN DISTRIBUTION CENTER ANNEX
    Your item departed our USPS facility in NASHVILLE TN DISTRIBUTION CENTER ANNEX on August 8, 2022 at 5:53 am. The item is currently in transit to the destination."
    From reading the other posts I'm getting concerned that this is not going to end well. Looks like Google's subcontractor is not prepared to receive and process the number of tradeins they are receiving and that many will just disappear into the system or be mis-handled.
    What recourse does one have if either the USPS loses the return or Google claims they never received it?

    Not yet, though they said mine shipped and said 7 business days after receiving the device. I would expect them soon.

    Ahh, sorry....I have 2 as both my wife and I are trading our phones in.
    Ahh sorry back. It was @adrman I meant to quote. He reordered the kits and will have 2 coming for one device. I had that problem before and It took many calls for them to find the return.

    I know what you mean. I had to delay payments on my 2nd Tesla because of this...
