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

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.

Also, the Backmarket one did mention the model number, but the one I received definitely wasn't the MGLN3LL/A; it was the MGK13LL/A.

I certainly hope the people doing the mail-in ones don't run into any issues, but I've just seen a few comments that those guys can be a bit more strict on average. I'd definitely give it a shot regardless though.
But instead I just traded my old Pix 6 Pro to the Google Store, combining Google One discount with ID.Me to get a 512 GB Pix 9 Pro (regular size) for what will be a net of about $340 after Google Store credits. ... but I'll have to figure out what I want to do with $306 in google credits. Overpriced phone case, maybe some buds. So there is some inefficiency that adds to the cost of the deal.
