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!

Given that others are getting shipping emails within a few hours, I'm not feeling confident about this.

a pixel 9 is not going to meaningfully improve my life. I don't even need a new phone and I catch myself going down this rabbit hole.
not to mention it's better for the environment to get a used phone.
sometimes I think capitalism is broken my brain
It's amazing how the sign of a good deal sometimes turns off my brain as a rational consumer. Pixel 9 is not going to meaningfully improve my life over my current hardware. Fact I prefer the ergonomics of the non-squared display anyways.
Just I see a deal like $300 for a Pixel 9... I guess that's what consumption-based economies due to a person. I mean that's not to say it's not a potentially great deal for people that genuinely do need a phone can't survive another year, or on mint anyways or whatever.
Lol. And Black Friday deals for that matter.
Order confirmed with an Order Number, but it doesn't show on my account anywhere.
For those of you who placed an order, where can you see your order and its status? Please advise.

My order status says "No information is currently available." What does yours say?

anyways, I had misunderstood that this price is including the plan charges...so not interested anymore.

- $180 for 12 months unlimited by itself is a good deal. But 12 months is a long time to commit to without knowing how the budget network is going to be in your area.
- Tade in value difference - Google has been offering "enhanced trade in" every year for the past few. If the trend continues the difference in price between the 9 and 9 pro would be made up when it's time to trade the phone in the future. For example, the pixel 7 currently has a trade in value of $360 in the Google store but the 7 pro has a trade value of $540.
- 9 pro comes with a year of advanced Gemini (currently $20/month). Sure you can get this deal and pay for it out of pocket. But that'll bring the mint deal cost to $300 phone + $240 Gemini for a year. If you don't care for AI then ya this is not worth it.. but more people seems to be jumping on the AI bandwagon so this might be worth it if your planning on trying an AI service like chatGPT, Gemini, etc anyways.
- camera upgrade - this is big for me. The pixel 9 pro has an upgrade 42MP selfie cam that a lot of reviewers like. Just YouTube "pixel 9 pro selfie camera". I have the pixel 7 and the selfie cam is garbage... especially in low light. I would imagine it'll be the same for pixel 9. The telephoto lens is something I thought I wouldn't need when I purchased the 7 but I was wrong ... I find myself zooming in more (kids candid shots).
