Trade in has been in “transit” for almost a month
I shipped an iPhone 11 back to AT&T for trade-in using the supplied label …. According to USPS, the iphone was delivered to the “agent” - Pitney Bowes, on 2 Nov 2022. Tracking number is { {Payment Card Number detected, text hidden}} 3806 34 (image is attached from USPS. Pitney Bowes site indicates “USPS Hand off to Shipping Partner” took place at 1:47PM on 2 Nov 2022. There is no way to track the device after this. I could use some help determining the status of my trade in.

The issue was not resolved as promised by the AT&T rep who asked for a DM after I first posted my concern. Initially showing much enthusiasm to help me, after nearly 2 weeks, the rep simply stated that I need to pursue their “agent”, Pitney Bowes, to track down the trade in phone. You are only given a USPS tracking number on the label used for the return. That tracking number ends when it is delivered to their “agent”, which occurred on 2 Nov’22. It’s now been over a month and the device location is not known. The agent took the position, after 2 weeks of research, that I need to wait until AT&T receives the device to process the credits for the trade in. This is an unacceptable outcome for the customer. Seems like a very poor trade in process that creates a gap between the carrier that receives your trade in and AT&T, allowing the device to enter the “ether”. I’ve been an AT&T customer for over 17 yrs and I’m clearly considering moving to a different carrier.
