Learn about the Google Store trade-in process

When you buy a new Pixel device, you can get credit when you trade in your old device through Google Store. Trade-in through Google Store is available in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

After you order a new device, you can start the trade-in process. Learn how to add a trade-in to an order.

  1. First, you’ll receive your new device.
  2. You’ll receive a trade-in kit within 5 business days after you receive your new device.
    • Trade-in kits are shipped after your new device is sent to you or when you pick up your new device in-store. In some cases, the kit may take more than 5 business days to reach you. To receive the trade-in kit, an adult must sign for the delivery. If no one is available to sign for the delivery, FedEx will retry delivery two more times. If you don’t receive your trade-in kit within 10 business days after you receive your new device, contact our support team.
    • If you need to update your address, you can change your trade-in kit shipping address.
  3. Ship your trade-in devices.
  4. Google Store receives the trade-in device.
    • As soon as we receive your trade-in device, we’ll usually inspect it within 5 business days and notify you of the results via email.
  5. Google Store informs you of the value of your device.
    • If the post-inspection value is less than 75% of the estimated trade-in value, PCS Wireless will return your device and you won’t receive a credit.
    • If the post-inspection value is between 75% and 99.9% of the estimated trade-in value, you’ll receive an email. You’ll then have 7 days to accept the post-inspection amount. If you don’t accept the post-inspection value within 7 days, PCS Wireless will return your device to you and you won't receive a credit.
  6. You’ll receive a refund.
    • You'll receive a credit to the form of payment used for your new device purchase. Credit card refunds may take up to 14 business days to apply to your card.
    • If the trade-in value credit exceeds the cost of your new Pixel device, the excess amount is provided as Google Store credit.
