If you're planning to do a device trade in like ipad, iphone, tablet, or phone... then here are some simple steps I suggest if you're going to do an electronics trade-in:
My suggestion:
What to do before sending out your ipad or iphone for trade in?
1. take pictures of your tablet/phone before sending it out
2. go to settings and record the serial number or imei.
3. Save the model # of your device
4. Take a video of you packaging it
6. Save your tracking and follow the trade in process!
Good Luck!!!
Again.. my own experience:
* I've traded in a phone online through samsung. I had no issues.
* In this video.. I talk about the trade-in process using best buy (very easy).
Best Buy Order Trade In Process:
1. Order online with trade in (use the trade in link)
NOTE: You will pay for the whole order..... discount or trade-in amount is only REFUNDED at time of trade-in.
2. Wait for text/email stating you can come in for your pickup order
3. In line.. they'll take your old ipad.. inspect it
take the serial/model
4. Finally you sign a release for the trade in
5. You get a trade in receipt.. and they give you your ipad.
6. Because I ordered online.. the trade in refund was applied a few hours after my transaction.
I paid paypal. I noticed a refund transaction a few hours after getting my ipad.
Sooo... good luck with your electronics trade in.
Let me know if some trade ins are easy and which ones are difficult?
