Congratulations on your new device purchase! Trade in your old device within 30 days from when your new device shipped, or you’ll miss out on the trade-in value and promotional enrollment.
## On this page:
- [How to return your trade-in device](https://www.t-mobile.com#steps1)
- [Locate and print your label](https://www.t-mobile.com#steps2)
## [](https://www.t-mobile.com)How to return your trade-in device
The fastest way is to return it at a [T-Mobile store](https://www.t-mobile.com/store-locator). This way, you don't have to worry about finding your label, printing it, and packing the box. Your trade-in value and promotion are applied to your account right away.
### Upgrades that require shipping
- JUMP! & Yearly upgrades: Your order status will say JUMP! upgrade or Yearly upgrade in the top right.
- T-Mobile Authorized Retailer: These locations can't accept trade-ins. The [store locator](https://www.t-mobile.com/store-locator) tells you the type of store.
- Other retailers:
- Trade-ins associated with purchases from other retailers like Apple, Samsung, and Walmart must be shipped.
- T-Mobile kiosks inside Costco Warehouses & Sam's Club locations can't accept trade-ins.
If shipping is required or easier for you, please be aware that:
- You’ll receive a return shipping kit to send your trade-in device back to T-Mobile.
- You have 30 days to return your trade-in device. If the device is not received within 30 days:
- You will not receive the one-time bill credit for the trade-in value.
- The device promotion will be unenrolled.
- You may see a reversal for any promotional credits already issued to your account.
- It may take up to two billing cycles for your trade-in value to be applied to your account.
- You'll receive trade-in device status updates via text messages and emails.
- The estimated value may change once the device is received and assessed.
- We'll notify you if the device value or promotional credit changes.
- You’ll need to [log into your account on T-Mobile.com](https://account.t-mobile.com/signin/v2/) to accept any new device value offers or request the return of the device.
- Your trade-in device may not qualify if:
- The device is reported as lost or stolen.
- The anti-theft feature or Find My iPhone feature is turned on.
- There's damage to the device.
