These stories are exactly why I ALWAYS bring it to the store.

If I ever do the trade-in again that is exactly what I will do.

I always get nervous dropping off my trade in iPhone... (stolen in transit is the worry) UG!

I would use in store but I have a lot of financial apps and encryption apps that need to be transferred separately.

am I the only one?

I would be more concerned about them receiving your phone then making up an excuse to cut the trade-in amount in half, or even to zero. That is what happened to me with an iMac trade-in.

I would have just sold it on swappa. 🤷🏻

dropped my 13PM trade-in for 17PM off with Fedex on Wednesday, got an email an hour or so ago from Apple saying it's all good and got my $320.
I've done several iPhones and watches this way and never had an issue, but YMMV

if folded right it makes a very sturdy package.

This is sage advice.

Although my personal preference is to process my trade in the store, I have shipped many of the families trades using the kit, or packaging that Apple mails out.

The key is to patiently study the instructions and carefully fold the package. You end up with great protection in a very secure enclosure.
