Can I trade-in macbook on store instead of shipping?

So, I bought a new MacBook online and did the trade-in online too. I will be getting a box to return it, but can I go to the Apple store to trade it in instead of shipping it?

Hi,

Yes, you can trade in your MacBook directly at an Apple Store instead of shipping it for evaluation, though if you received Trade-In kit, you'd better use shipping Trade-In in the case you ordered MacBook Pro/Air online.

An in-store trade-in option allows an Apple Specialist to assess your device's condition on the spot and you can receive credit toward a purchase or an Apple Gift Card.
