Verizon bootloader locked?

Does anyone know if I get the Verizon pixel 3 at Best buy if the bootloader is unlockable? Or should I get it through Google store? I am a Verizon carrier customer.

It will be locked. The only place in the US that you can get a new Pixel that is bootloader unlocked is the Google store.

Thank you. I was near a Best buy and glad you responded. I was going to get it there since I can have it in my hands immediately but knowing bootloader is locked, I refuse to buy it there. I'm still on a Nexus 6p with terrible battery life so I'm looking for an upgrade. If you are a pixel 3 user, would you justify that upgrade?

From a 6P, absolutely. The camera alone is worth it
