The discussion with Mint customer service rep yesterday resulted in a trouble ticket being assigned to the "backend office". I was told I'd "receive an e-mail within 24-48 hours".
Late this morning (less than 24 hours after the ticket was issued) the new phone had a notification that the phone was carrier unlocked.
Under Developer Options the OEM unlocking was immediately selectable--I need this for installing the after-market ROM, but this bootloader unlocking is tied to the carrier unlocking.
Soon thereafter I received another notification: "No service" and "Selected network (Mint) unavailable". That may be due to the fact that I had previously deselected "Automatically select network" in settings. So I selected the "Choose network" option and then selected "Mint" (the only option since I hadn't changed Sims) and a few seconds later I was back in business.
I never received the e-mail from the backend office, but everything seems to be working.
To answer a couple other questions folks have asked: My understanding is that this is a permanent carrier unlocking. I believe I'd told the Mint customer service rep (Kylah) that I was going to be going on international travel (as the excuse for needing it carrier unlocked right away). I had paid for a year of service along with the phone. The fact that the service is already fully paid-for is one of the requirements you need to meet for them to unlock your phone right away. I ordered Tuesday of last week and received it via FedEx on Friday. I had used an eSim for the Mint service on this phone. I'm a brand new customer of Mint, but I don't think that should matter.
If I receive an e-mail from the backend office and it contributes any additional information I'll post a follow-up message.
I'd actually ported-in a burner phone number to this service. So after I load GrapheneOS, I'm going to switch numbers (port-in) so my new phone has my main phone number. Hopefully that will take less time and I'll get less of a run-around doing that.
Good luck!
Below is my order breakdown:
Nice!
Wasn't expecting to upgrade my phone but at this price its a no brainer for a better finger print sensor!

The order confirmation email i received was also odd, it says they are checking things over, not providing details or saying the order is accepted. I was charged for the purchase though...
Overall, I wouldn't be surprised if the phone-only orders get cancelled as a price mistake.

See version comparision below:

So Pixel 9 phone cost you only $180-220, not too bad for 128GB locked.
60-90gb for storage, buy usbc 128-256gb stick for extra storage.
Last year Pixel 6a 128GB was $85-100 locked.
Pixel 7 Pro 512gb is $400 at Woot unlock if you need more storage. Use CITI/CHASE/AMEX
3 month 5GB/month plan with promo code "freemonth" + phone = $351.69
wish i could convince my parents to upgrade their old phones but they dont seem care. I got the P9Pro during the crazy Best buy deal so I have no need but still.
These have just tanked in price. I wonder if google is purposely dropping these prices to convince people to switch from apple.
