Does anyone know for sure if we need to send the S pen with our tablet trade-in? The instructions say to send in the device only, no accessories. I've always sent the S pen with my Note trade-ins because I consider it part of the device, but this feels a bit different.

YOOHOO! S7+ and keyboard case arrived about 2:15, just as I was headed to my daily workout. Tab was charged to 54%, so I put it on the included 15W charger and when I returned about an hour later it was at 100%. Bookcovers I ordered from Amazon also arrived.
Bookcover by Neepanda: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6863466
Bookcover by ProCase: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6863466
Both are very slim and light. The ProCase fits all the way around the edges with cutouts for speakers, buttons, and connectors. It is very much like a NeoHybrid slim smartphone case and has a translucent hard plastic back. The fit is very tight -- I had to struggle to get it off.
The Neepanda is a bit "more minimalist" -- it grabs the Tab on each corner, but does not cover the edges. Back and front ar of the same material, with a suede-like lining on the inside. This one is virtually identical to the covers I have used on my Tab S3 for 4 years. Very slim, light weight, functional.
Both have cutouts on teh reverse where the Spen attaches magnetically to the Tab. They do not have a cover flap like on the keyboard cover.
I also attached the keyboard cover. The back just snaps on magnetically and grips rather tightly. It has a "wing" that folds out to act as a stand to hold the Tab upright at any angle you prefer and it does have the cover flap over the Spen. The Keyboard piece is separate; connection is really simple. when the whole thing is closed, it is noticeably heavier and bulkier than the two Bookcovers.
So my initial choice for daily use: I don't think I will be using the keyboard every day, so I'm going to keep it in reserve to use as needed or when traveling. Otherwise, my choice will be the Neepanda, primarily because it is most like what I have been using and it is much easier to remove when I want to employ the keyboard option.
Now, on to getting the setup completed, transferring data from my Tab S3, and giving this new baby a ride. Like I said, "YAAHOO!"

I still have S6 keyboard cover. I will take off before sending it back. I wish I knew someone who had need for it.

Awww man. I thought about you earlier. I don't usually have issues. My other Samsung products arrived well before noon. The tab arrived at almost 3. We'll keep holding out hope for you!

It gets worst. My address is listed without my apt number which means they will probably try to drop it off at the leasing off instead of my concierge box which closes at 6. My only hope is that they return it back to warehouse and I can rush and try to pick up before they close. I'm losing all my excitement.

So now after literally waiting at home for a package that never was going to show up today because they left it at the warehouse due to unpassable roadways yada yada. Asked could I pick it up instead but because of Samsung restrictions they have to deliver it. Beyond pissed because UPS has been delivering all day. If they don't deliver tomorrow I will just cancel the order and forget about it all. Maybe this is a sign to keep my S6 and save my money. Enough ranting see y'all tomorrow. Time to wallow myself to sleep.

Oh, the JOYS of getting a new device set up! I DID use SmartSwitch to move everything over, the apps and homescreen layout came over nicely (actually nearly perfectly if it wasn't actually perfect). Loving Play Games and other cloud sync platforms for bringing over progress. Getting my apps signed in is another story!
The case I got fits well, the screen protector isn't perfectly edge to edge but it covers the area that would be used.

I feel you FedEx is the worst out here where we live, they have constantly flaked on me.

I was hoping it would work out for you today. If you use FedEx Delivery Manager, you should be able to have it held at a local Walgreens or FedEx location.
No, you can't. See my replies earlier in the thread, Samsung restricted that ability on these shipments.
