Edit: Prepare for tears, y'all. This is going to be a mess.
Friendly advice: If you're interested in any of these tablets…just go buy them outright without the hoops & games. Samsung either has so much customer volume that they don't care about the complaints or they just flat-out don't care about their individual customers. Based on the many deals prior this year: a small percentage may score this, but there are a lot of variables working against you (1.They Cancel your initial order / 2. cancel your trade-in from a litany of arbitrary reasons and bill you the $350 TIV / 3. make you wait over the tight 2-week return window to verify/appraise your trade-in…just to name a few) and their call centres are HORRENDOUSLY DIFFICULT and time-intensive to deal with when there are issues. People have even had their money in limbo for weeks to months (without using CC chargeback) in hopes of getting their orders fulfilled amidst weeks of shipping delay after delay after delay…

Note: they mention they can even remotely disable your device (!!!) if they feel you haven't kept up your end of the deal with a proper trade-in.

ordered a bunch of these,
Picked up both the tablet (Galaxy Tab S7 128GB) and the headphones (Galaxy Buds2) from my local Best Buy. I also picked up a brand new Samsung Tab A there for $100 since I discovered my original trade-in had 2 very minor but ultimately likely disqualifying chips on the plastic lining around the screen. Waiting on the Samsung trade-in email as I type this up... Can't imagine I'm going to run into any trade-in issues since I'll be exchanging literally a brand new Samsung tablet but I'll keep the new tablet unopened just in case as I'm in no rush.
Current (and hopefully final) expenses
$159.89 (paid through Paypal for the total bundle of Tab S7 and Buds 2 and YT Premium)
$105.99 (paid with credit card at Best Buy for the Tab A to avoid trade-in hassle)
Total
$265.88
Will update as necessary, best of luck to everyone and their respective situations.
Not sure why some are saying not to open the items until the trade is approved - if it can be returned open, why not just open them? I might leave the buds unopened for now, since I have no urgent need for them, but I will be opening the tab shortly. Trading a Tab S2 8" which was previously running Lineage OS (and hasn't been touched in a long time). I successfully flashed it back to stock and there is no obvious sign when booting it that it was rooted (or Knox tripped). I think I may have flashed UK stock firmware on it though - so not sure if that is an issue.

I also ordered an open box excellent condition Galaxy Tab A 8" from Best Buy so I'll be sending that in... but in my haste I didn't realize I could've sent in an old Pixel 3 that I have. I reached out to Samsung to switch the trade-in, but I haven't heard from them for 12+ hours now so I'm going to go ahead with the Galaxy Tab trade-in. I imagine that everyone's peppering the CS department with questions right now.
I'll be picking it up this afternoon - I hope they hold mine until then!
Honestly a good point here... think I was just following what other people were saying in this thread but especially in my trade-in circumstance (buying the cheapest new Samsung tablet as a trade-in), I may just open mine up as well.
