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!

edit. able to order for $299. After searching through 40 pages, finally found the post that worked for me. On the computer/website I scrolled absolutely to the bottom of the page and in the section called Shop Phones by Brand, clicked on Google Phones. Then the Pixel 9 was available and when i clicked on it, was able to buy it without a plan.
I had ordered two mint 3-month plans as a backup in case I need to activate my phones and leave the sim in for 60 days. Looks like I don't need those and will return those to Target.
Mint customer service has been very helpful. Almost want to switch to them, but can't beat 30gb TMO plan for $10/month.

"I will be traveling abroad next week for the holidays, I will be back early next month..(PICK A DATE)" Can you please unlock my newly purchased phone that has been paid in full already."
Give them everything they ask for. YOU NEED AN ACTIVE MINT MOBILE ACCOUNT TO VERIFY.
Request will be approved and you need to wait for them to send you a confirmation email or call within 48-72hrs.

they asked name, phone number, email. > Confirmed my relative had account (2+ years in this case). They asked for order number and IMEI number (but for the second time, just the order number. I confirmed that they will have the IMEI number based on the order number).
Technically, I didn't have to open the box (even if IMEI is needed, it is printed on the box), but not sure if phone needs to be powered on for them to unlock.

Had you already put it on MINT network with your e-sim at this point, or was it still in the box? I have two phones coming tomorrow, but I only bought one 3-month service w/ e-sim. Wondering if I can get both unlocked.
maybe chat is not available after business hours? it would be nice to say so
