This open box Pixel 10 Pro XL stands out for near new condition at a steep discount, especially when the unit can be inspected in store or at pickup. The phone uses eSIM, and some units may need setup or carrier activation steps, including checking unlock and bootloader settings. Restocking fees are a recurring concern on open box returns, with checkout warnings and fee disputes reported, though in store inspection can help avoid surprises. A practical pick if you want flagship hardware and can verify the exact unit before leaving.
T-Mobile users who can handle eSIM setup, because the phone uses eSIM and may arrive with a test eSIM that needs removal.
A $45 restocking fee can apply to open-box returns, including unlocked devices if they can be activated. The fee may be waived in some cases, but it can also show up during checkout and may require asking a manager to remove it.
Yes, pickup and in-store inspection are recommended so you can check the exact unit before purchase. One buyer opened two Excellent-condition units at the store and chose the cleaner one, which was nearly new.
I picked up one of these at a Best Buy Outlet today. The sales rep was very helpful and opened up two, both rated in Excellent condition, so I could pick the better one. Neither had any damage but one was a bit more smudged so I went for the cleaner one. So far so good!
I got one in IL, got open-box good condition for $569 + tax.
Ensured to open-box in store, removed the ESIM for T-Mobile which showed up. They said it may be added as part of testing in geek squad. Double checked in developer options that it allows to unlock bootloader.
just in case, it helps - open box unlocked devices wont have $45 restocking. Restocking fee applies for items which are to-be activated on carriers.
Unlocked devices will still have a restocking fee. They charge it on anything that can be "activated". I've had to argue to get the fee waived on open box items before.
