sorted bySo yeah. Sad, because I'll now never buy another Google product again. Check out the reviews of the company that does the trade-ins and you'll see it's not just me. Company are "PCS Wireless".
Obviously YMMV, but "buyer beware" is all I'll say. (edited)
If you're worried then buy the phone from Google and don't open it while you wait for the outcome of the trade in, if they don't honour the trade in then return the phone to Google for a refund.
Does the trade in kit come with the pixel?
How long does delivery and inspection take for trade in?
Hoping to still have the chance to return the pixel in case the trade in is rejected. (edited)
The trade in kit comes with a Royal Mail pre-paid 48h tracked delivery sticker. Once your old phone is received by them, it takes less than a week for them to inspect and process the trade-in.
I've used this offer 3 times in the last few months without issues. Last time, they received my old phone past the deadline due to the Royal Mail strikes and I was concerned it was going to be rejected or receive a lower price but no, it was paid in full.
Not sure if the cashback from Amex would be impacted by the trade in refund though.
Had anyone tried?
Doubts
1) I am surprised by 6a camera (12MP) compared to for e.g. Moto G9 power (64MB budget phone I am using as second phone), and iphone 7(6 years old yet still sporting 12 MP) I am using. Am I missing something on camera - I want the phone to shoot good pictures
2) pixel 5 and 6a are not expandable on memory just like iphone. Also seems 6a doesnt even have dual sim option! So are we going up in world with 6a or down! Apart from larger screen - I dont see any features on this budget phone
3) I will be able get a significantly higher trade value for SE/IP7, yet - I will also need to shell out north of £100+ assuming trade in works.
Would appreciate some advise... trying to avoid HUKD collect bug for a change :-)
Do I need to provide IMEI at point of sale?
I want to buy an old iPhone form eBay to trade in.
Any help would be really appreciated. My daughter desperately needs to buy a new phone and trying to get her the best I can for her relatively low budget.
Probably only need 1 but it is a good offer if I can get hold of another iPhone to trade.
I think it's a case of those with problems being louder than those without problems.
Not seen when the 6a goes back to £399 though
The horror stories on there!
I'm apparently speaking with the highest tiers of support at Google store and all I have got is template email... Not even answered any questions.
I’ve now cancelled 2 orders!! They seem
dodgy AF!!!
hundreds of reviews across the internet of dishonest practice and phones being valued at £0, but out of the time scale for the return of the new item! Many have never received their old phone back!
Here are the ones just with google!

He doesn't take many photos but should see a benefit and being a tradesman and likely to get wet / dusty, the better IP rating should see him right.
No doubt he'll moan the screens too small and he doesn't like the ringtone but as long as he can get football scores on, he'll learn to live with it...

Look at the link in the instructions and seem like only those with "Royal Mail" icon rather than "Post Office"
Covered in stickers, glue residue and to top it off they have set an touch ID passcode on it so it can't be reset. Bunch of jokers.
Sent my pixel 6a back today. Just for those in the same position, do ensure you give it enough days to return as the item goes back to Poland.
Was post prepaid?
If your trade-in gets accepted: just keep the phone
If your trade-in doesn't get accepted: return the phone - you already have the approved return!
Thanks
Cheers OP! (edited)
