Sales Tax:
For some states, Samsung will charge sales tax on the amount before taking $300 off.
California state is one of those. Pay tax on the list price.
Return Window for the Trade-in:
"Please note that you have 15 days from the date you receive your new device to ship your old device to Samsung or your original payment method will be charged for the trade-in credit amount."

Packing Instructions:: Courtesy @_A2:
Ins to document and ship the trade-in:
1. Go to a USPS location with an automated kiosk
2. Place phone on top of kiosk, with scale in view
3. Start recording
4. Turn phone on, show serial #, do whatever you want in order to show that it's working
5. Turn it OFF. Place in box. Seal it up.
6. Affix postage. NOW... while keeping the box in view of the phone camera --> take it over and drop it in the package/parcel drum.
Note: Samsung will provide shipping label
7. Pull the handle to send the package inside --> make sure to continue recording while you RE-OPEN the drum and show it empty.
At this point, the package is literally out of your hands. You can't get it back. If anyone (buyer, Samsung, 3rd party trade-in clowns) tries to claim that your device wasn't in the condition you stated: send them a link to your video so that they can kindly go f*ck themselves.

Summary of program
Google has determined that certain Pixel 6a phones ("Impacted Devices") require a mandatory software update to reduce the risk of potential battery overheating which could pose a risk to users. The update will enable important battery management features that will reduce battery capacity and charging performance on Impacted Devices after the battery reaches 400 charge cycles.
All Pixel 6a devices will receive a mandatory automatic software update to Android 16, with roll out starting July 8 2025, but only Impacted Devices will receive the battery management features. Some users will see changes sooner than others, because the battery management features activate only after an Impacted Device reaches 400 charge cycles.
We want our customers to have the best possible experience with their products, so users of these Impacted Devices are eligible for support options from Google based upon country of purchase, location, and warranty status, subject to our terms and conditions below. Not all Pixel 6a devices are impacted by the reduction in battery capacity and charging performance. If your device is not impacted, your battery management features will remain the same as before, and you will not be eligible for these support options under this program.

Less hazzle - bonus - a little cheaper.
Samsung charged me:
174.98
Trade in phone = $32 from BB
Total = $207 with taxes.
I do not think that we lately change the battery of a smartphone - we have been changing phone before battery replacement is required. So battery condition should not matter.
Scratch free - I do not know on eBay.
But Amazon shipped me a phone in original packing scratch free those days.
FAQ says "Please note that you have 15 days from the date you receive your new device to ship your old device to Samsung or your original payment method will be charged for the trade-in credit amount."
I guess their FedEx tracking # will let them know that the package is dropped at fedex?
Received the phone on 8/4. Dropped at FedEx counter on Aug 7th.
Fedex still shows "We have your package " - its been over 12hrs!
I realized its a ground shipment from CA to TX
Keeping my fingers crossed.
"Trade in phone = $32 from BB"
