I Screwed Up My Trade In

[Ed_Grohl]

So I live in a city. Like an idiot since I can't read apparently, I put my trade-in in a FedEx drop box yesterday because it was a block from me. It says specifically not to do that. Anyone else done this? I am worried because the trade in is supposed to be there by the 8th.

I've done it in the past. If FedEx says they never received it then there could be a issue. Once it enters FedEx tracking system then you should be ok.

two years ago I mistakenly reused a return label for a return device (I printed off the wrong label) with Samsung, because I, too, am an idiot. once I figured out what I'd done, I knew the return was sitting in a warehouse NOT being addressed. I dealt with Support and within a couple of hours they saved me (and my $$) from my very foolish mistake. I think you're in much better shape than that.

Just kidding! It can happen to anyone!

So small update: FedEx does have it, but it will be there a day late (how?). Anyways, in my research trying to contact them for an extension, Samsung site says they will review any order shipped within 6 days of the final date. So it looks like I should be good to go.

Thought this might be helpful for my fellow dingbats.

Probably should have shipped sooner than 2 days before.

Shipped on Monday (3 days prior). Figured it would have been overnight.

Its ground shipping so 5 days at times. the thing tha tmight of screwed it up was putting it in the drop box

Yeah but that just depends on when the pickup was at that box

Yeah...that was the point of the thread. That I made a dumb mistake.

It had to be shipped by the 8th, not received.

I got an email that mine was received I'm just waiting for it to be approved same with my husband's

 

[Ed_Grohl]

Well, I just got the "Received" email 5 minutes ago. All my fears were in vain. A happy ending. Thanks all for joining me on this journey.

Not FedEx, but UPS. Used their Dropbox but claim they never get the device. Lost the battle for a couple of months.

Dropped mine at FedEx one day before "ship by" date deadline.

Also, took photos before, during and after boxing (plus weighed on my scale) so there are no "discrepancies" on the receiving end

I bought mine straight up. can't tell you how much relief there is not sweating a trade-in snafu. I'd planned on keeping my S22U as a backup, but a situation with my aunt and her A14 resulted in my "upgrading" her phone with my old one. trade-ins are too much pressure

Exactly what I told myself after the 2nd dibacol with ATT's return. I'm keeping this one until it's fully paid off where I can use it as a back up but there's now at in Hell I'll be trading it in. No waaay!

Ohhh, ok.

I buy mine unlocked straight up as well. Along with that, maximize additional discounts beyond the manufacturers +trade-in credit.

This is part of how I'm able to retire 5+ years early.

Happy days!

Happy ending to the story...Trade in made it and was accepted. Crisis averted. Thanks all for being there for me. Ha ha.
