Trading In Old Iphone - What Next

I agreed to trade in my old Iphone 11 for $180 when buying my new one. I picked up my new phone and I'm up and running with the new phone. What happens next? How do I return my old Iphone 11 for that $180 credit?


I have recieved nothing from apple about the matter.

Check your emails for an email from Apple: Seems there is a time limit on returning a trade-in:

Also:

You may have a confirmation number you received when you confirmed your trade-in quote.

Eg says:

  • We’ll either send you a prepaid trade-in kit or email you drop-off instructions. If we send you a trade-in kit, it will include instructions on how to prepare and package your device.


  • Your trade-in estimate is valid for 14 days after you receive your new device. It’s important that we receive your trade-in within this time frame to ensure that you get the estimated value.


  • Your trade-in device needs to be sent to us within 14 days of when you receive your new device. The sooner we receive your trade-in, the sooner we can verify its condition and process your credit or gift card. It may take 3 to 5 business days for your credit to be processed.
