We switched to Verizon in October. Traded in 2 phones GS8+ and iPhone 7 for which we were supposed to be credited $450 each within 2 years. After 5 months of calling and talking to 7 representatives with Verizon and 3 trips to the store we made the purchase and trade in we got Verizon to finally FIND one of the two phones. The second my GS8+ was never found.
At the store on the day of purchase and trade in the rep gave us ONE prepaid box for UPS and said put BOTH phones and send them within a week, which we did. Not sure what happened at the Texas warehouse where the box mailed cause only one phone was registered into the Verizon system as received.
It got to this ridiculous remark from Verizon - “phones we’re supposed to be mailed in separate boxes, because that is how trade ins are processed based on the box tracking number”. So whoever processed the trade in only assigned the phone to the box tracking number and the second phone disappeared since it did not come in a separate box.
THE VERIZON REP GAVE US ONE BOX! And said “PUT BOTH PHONES AND MAIL IT OUT“. How is it our fault that your employees don’t know what they are doing ?
Order Number: 61004
Location code: X565101
I have the device ID and the Submission ID if needed. Online Submission IDs on both phones says “Pending device receipt” even that I am receiving credit for one of them.
Someone at that warehouse is either stealing phones or they have no idea what they are doing.
I want my credit or my phone back!
If this doesn’t get resolved I will start a class action lawsuits, I bet I can find another 20 people at least that are going through the same issues.

Devices were shipped on October 15th ish. UPS tracking is 1Z90A26F9000270957.
Tracking no longer is available as per UPS it only shows the status for 120 days, but the first rep I talked to in December or January was able to confirm the devices were delivered.
We will be sending you a Private Note shortly. CassieG_VZW
The issue was resolved at the store, they tried to get the credit from Verizon and basically got nothing, store itself than credited us the $450. Thanks for nothing Verizon.
Someone should look into all this missing trade in devices cause it’s an ongoing issue and Verizon won acknowledge this.
I am going through this same issue. I sent in my davice on January 5 and it has been stuck in Ft. Worth since January 7. No further info available with UPS. I talked to a UPS rep who advised me to file a claim, tried to do that and it says I'm not able to claim that tracking number. Verizon is telling me to wait longer. I need the credit for this device. Please someone at Verizon help me with this.

Same thing happened to me. Two devices traded-in and the store only have me one box and told me to put both phones in it. Trade-in status shows they received one phone, but not the other. Total garbage. I'm with you.... I either want my phone back or I want the credit.
Same thing is happening to me noe
I am in on the lawsuit.

I traded in my iPhone 11 Pro max, and I am being told they never received it. I entered my submission id and it says they received it on the 4th of November. I shipped it on the 27th of October. If this is not taken care of, I will be switching to AT&T. I am not paying a $658 bill, five days before Christmas.
We definitely want to help get this issue resolved. Please send us a private message so we may access your account and review this.
This has just happened to me. I mailed in my old iphone with UPS and Verizon says they don't have it and never got a submission number. They want me to have UPS track the package. Something is wrong here.
sdg13, this is definitely concerning & we want to help. Can you tell us how you went about trading in your phone? Did you happen to use our trade in website (https://www.verizon.com/od/trade-in/#/)? If so, when you were done with filling out all the prompts, you would be emailed a submission ID. Did you by chance check a spam/junk folder in your email to see if it landed there? What date did you send the phone into us? With the UPS tracking number, does it show that it was returned to us? AliciaD_VZW
