09/13 - Trade in processing has slowed down, a trade in that was delivered to Chino,
CA on 09/06 wasn't processed until 09/13, representing ~5 business days from delivery to assessment. Kentucky was processing trades faster, with a ~1 business day turnaround reported on 09/12 when the delivery was made on 09/11.
09/05 - Best Buy no longer issues "trade in kits" (boxes with prepaid labels). Once your Pixel 9 Pro is delivered and the Best Buy order status shows delivered (their system lags behind UPS), you'll get an email with the next steps. You need to go into the Order Details page on BB.com, sign in and then you can print a pre-paid UPS label for the trade-in. Save a copy of the tracking number for your records and make sure it gets scanned in to the UPS system when you drop it off.
Trade ins will likely be delivered in bulk, but UPS should still show a delivered scan. IT WILL TAKE TIME FOR THE TRADE INS TO BE PROCESSED, DO NOT FREAK OUT IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN INSTANTLY. As of 09/04, they were processing trades that were delivered on 08/29 - so at least 4 business days. It WILL take time with the volume of P9P orders and trade ins.
If BB baited you into their "store" with advertised "enhanced" trade in values and then decided to reneg days later, at least, file a FTC complaint

Pixel 9's not currently working with TracFone
The trade-in value will show as the BASE VALUE, but that does not include the promotion value. You will still get the promotion value assuming you were going to get it per your order receipt, so do not worry.

The Pixel 9 pro xl arrives the same day the Iphone I ordered off of ebay comes, making it simple to return both if there is any issue for the trade in.
So even if it doesn't go through the hassle and risk of losing money or ending up with a locked phone isn't that high (I also do not live in the US, so the timing must be somewhat good which is the case with the pxiel 9 pro xl).
But clearly I'm thankful to the poster if this goes through.
Got both my pixels in November of 2022 (7 and 7 pro) and I've already had to replace the screen once on the 7pro, back camera glass twice on the 7, and now the screen is broken again on the 7pro, and the rear camera is all cloudy on the 7. I'm "stuck" with them through Verizon on a similar deal through next year, and because of that, I cannot even take advantage of anything Verizon has to offer, also, there are activation fees.
This will be my new method moving forward, buy whatever is the best trade-in value, buy new phones with trade, sell old phones, come out close to net0 without any terms. It's more work, but offers way more flexibility in terms of both phones and providers.
Whichever category, how about a case? (Just having fun)

Does anyone able to order more than one P9 Pro XL?

Bestbuy only keeps the device 5 days so if you receive a broken Iphone you don't really have the time to reorder one in time for trade-in.

I do think that Best Buy is going to restock the Pixels quickly... if they'll take the iPhone 12 Pro's as a trade in with a $999 value, is a very different question.
Good luck to all that got in on this!
