Learn about Google Store trade-in process timelines

When you buy a new Pixel device, you can get credit when you trade in your old device through Google Store. Trade-in through Google Store is available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.

After you order a new device, you can start the trade-in process. Learn how to add a trade-in to an order.

  2. If you’ve completed your ID verification online or through the delivery provider,you'll receive a trade-in kit within five working days after you receive your new device
    • Trade-in kits are dispatched after your new device is sent to you or when you pick up your new device in-store. In some cases, the kit may take more than five working days to reach you. If you don't receive your trade-in kit within 10 working days after you receive your new device, contact our support team.
    • If you need to update your address, you can change your trade-in kit delivery address.
  3. Send your trade-in devices.
  4. Google Store receives the trade-in device.
    • As soon as we receive your trade-in device, we'll usually inspect it within five working days and notify you of the results via email.
  5. You'll receive your refund.
    • If the post-inspection value is less than 75% of the estimated trade-in value, PCS Wireless will return your device and you won't receive a credit.
    • You'll receive a credit to the form of payment used for your new device purchase. Credit card refunds may take up to 45–60 working days to apply to your card.
    • If the trade-in value credit exceeds the cost of your new Pixel device, the excess amount is provided as Google Store credit. Store credits earned through trade-in expire after six months.
