Warehouse "never received" my trade-in device
I used the trade-in offer for my Iphone X 64GB for the IPhone 12 Pro Max in retail, which the product was mailed to me a week after. The same day that I received the new phone, I had dropped the trade-in phone (IPhone X) to USPS. On December 2, my tracking depicted that it had arrived at the warehouse.
A week later I never got the rebate I was told I would receive and I decided to call them. They said there would be an investigation in which 5 days later (December 10) I received an email that they did not have any information that they received the trade-in. I clearly did return it, so what am I supposed to do now. I am still receiving messages that I have to return the phone despite messaging the team multiple times. All their responses were to wait. This is making me go insane.
The warehouse in Lewisville, TX belongs to Assurant. If they claim they don't have it and yet you have proof they received it. Then call T-Mobile and have the device blacklisted. I would also call USPS and have them open up an investigation as well.

Yes they submitted multiple times for that to be done and supposedly they can find anything

I returned my 5 (paid-off) iPhone 11's to T-Mobile to take advantage of the iPhone 13 upgrade promotion over the holidays. After receiving the iPhone 13's, I returned all 5 of the iPhone 11s in same box. T-Mobile processed one of my phones for the promotion, but are telling me that they didn't receive the other 4. This is NOT POSSIBLE when they were all sent in the same box and they processed 1 of them. I've now spent over 10 hours on the phone with them trying to get this straightened out and they still haven't given me my credit for the other 4 phones! So either someone in their warehouse is a thief or they are lying! Either way the customer service regarding this situation has been HORRENDOUS.

I couldn't find a definite answer, but it appears each phone has to be sent in separately, as the mailing label only applies to one specific phone. So when the mailing label gets scanned, only that one phone gets credited. Who knows what happens with the additional phones.

T Mobile lost my trade in phone and I lost the promotion as well! My UPS tracking says it was delivered. They tried to claim that I sent it late, then that they couldn't find it at all. Then they eventually got the box but not the phone. The story keeps changing!! My father also has the same issue and we have different account. He had the same iPhone 13 trade deal and they "can't locate" the phone. He also got an Apple Watch on a promotion and it doesn't even reflect on the account.
This is definitely rigged. At this point this is a common issue, if not a scam. And the scary part is nothing can be done. Ive spent hours and hours over the past weeks on the phone and nothing.This makes you question the security. I believe it's a scam and legal action should and will be taken. If anyone else has been given a conclusion please let me know!!

This happened to me as well - I'm with Helmel - it's just convenient for them to "lose" it and revoke the credits. Word to the wise, just don't do trade-ins with Tmobile.

I am ALSO a victim of Tmobile's SCAM. I did two trade-ins in December and thought all was good until I stopped giving my trade-in credit. First time I called they said the warehouse might have misplaced it and they needed to search for it… NEVER got back to me.. Next time I called and the supervisor accused me of sending in an empty box. Next, I called they said the IMEI was never found at the warehouse therefore it's MY FAULT and I never sent them a phone. NOW they're accusing USPS WTF This is so ridiculous..!!!
I have read too many similar stories which means we are being targeted and scammed for hundreds of dollars worth. I am on board to get on any legal action. PLEASE email me as well to join in on this - andrea-savin@hotmail.com.

I have had the worse experience ever with replacement phone, from the start, it was bad. My husband sent 2 original phones back but they say I still owe for 1. This has been going on sine August. He called and was told , yes they have the missing phone. Someone didn't log it in and it would be taken off the bill. 2 months later, I the charge shows up. Same thing, it was supposed to be taken off the bill but it still hasn't. I thought I was the only one. I think now it is just a scam to get more money. I asked that they must be able to track this phone. Now I have to "be patient " while the situation is resolved. I am told it will be. I have no confidence that it will. Any advice?
