So I have a Pixel 3 to trade in. If I go through Verizon, it's telling me $400 trade in. But Apple says $800. Are they running a different promo between the two stores? I would much rather go with Apple anyway since I can trade the phone in in person anyway.
 
Well I’m not going to tell you anything you already don’t know, but I always go through apple directly and get the unlocked version. Everything is tracked better through the apple store app. I have Verizon as well but wouldn’t use their app to order. They’re an unnecessary middle man. And now you find yourself delayed with the order info. Should be lesson learned. 😝
Not smart then cant use verizon up credits

My experience was that online, both Verizon and Apple showed $0 for my SE. But going into the Verizon store I got $200.
 
ok I’ll play along. Where are the pictures?

Does Verizon give fair values on their trade in? What are others' experience with it?

I have a UPS tracking number. While I was checking, I talked myself into a Mag Safe charger purchase as well. Depending on how much I like the thinner case arriving this week, I may order a Mag Safe case through Verizon in the next few weeks. They actually have some decent prices on cases right now.

I bought the MagSafe charger, the 20amp charger, and the Incipio Duo case. Make sure to buy the plug in for the MagSafe I almost got disappointed lol.

You can check what they’re willing to give you on their website. As long as the phone turns on and in reasonably good shape, it will get accepted for what they state (there is no appraiser, it’s pass or fail). The most ideal situation is to always find a way to trade it in at the store. I believe if the customer rep decides to accept it, it’s never going to come back to bite you. Shipping it can be a tiny bit more risky, because there’s the chance it could get lost or damaged in transit, or they tell you there’s water damage, screen has been replaced w/ non-OEM, too many dents/scratches. At that point, they might reduce the value to $50.

I checked both UPS and FedEx but there was nothing... Should I worried about my iPhone 13 Pro not arriving this Friday? On Verizon.com it still shows expected delivery on Sep. 24 though.

No need to worry yet. They do two-day and next-day shipping, so you really should only be concerned if you still don't have tracking by mid to late week. If you have a 24th date, you'll be good.
 
We didn’t get on to preorder till Friday afternoon so ours won’t be till Oct 1 according to Verizon. Gold 256 13 Pro Max

Hoping it’ll show up sooner but yeah.
 
So, I was already on a shared unlimited plan and they changed my account to two individual (more expensive) ones, without mentioning it. So I've got to go back and talk to them. I don't even see the original plan out there anymore, and I had just switched to it a few months ago.

Those of you who are showing a shipped status, will it arrive prior to the 24th? Mine still say preparing.
Pretty sure they don't offer the old plans anymore. I'm not switching to unlimited until I have to or I actually have a need for unlimited data.
