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!

On 12/9, got a text from Mint and got a notification that phone has been carrier unlocked. Unboxed second phone to transfer esim. Checked dev settings and saw phone is already unlocked.
You can get the list of all the Pixel 9 supported bands of the different model numbers from Google: https://support.google.
The model from Mint is G2YBB (Settings -> About Phone -> Regulatory Labels). Doing a quick comparison with the Rest of the World model number GUR25, it is missing
- LTE band 21, 32, 39, 42, 75
- 5G sub6 band 75, 76, 79
You need to check the bands used by the telco where you plan on using
To answer the other comment on how different it is with the Google Store version, I don't know what model number you get if you purchase from the US Google Store. If it's G2YBB then it's the same I think. Bootloader can be unlocked as I mentioned earlier
