Should I have to wait for Trade in kit?

I bought a new iPhone online and pick it up at Apple store. The specialist told me I can trade in at this apple store. I wonder should I wait for the trade in kit deliver to my home or I can bring my old iPhone to store and trade in directly.

You can take the phone to your Apple Store and complete the trade there. You do not have to wait for the trade in kit. You'll get your trade on the spot. You will still receive the trade in kit and after two weeks you will receive an email telling you they didn't receive your trade. Just ignore it because you'll already have traded and gotten the trade value in store. I do this EVERY year when I get a new iPhone.

Thank you very much for your answer! Just one quick question, if I received the Trade in kit and didn't use it, should I deliver it back?

No, you don't need to return the kit. Recycle the cardboard parts responsibly and destroy the shipping label.

And you're welcome.

You can verify eligibility for trade-in and obtain an estimate of the potential trade-in value here:

Apple Trade In - Apple

Should you choose to do so, you can complete the trade-in at a physical Apple Store - many choosing this option by preference as the device can be checked, the trade-in value finalised and the process completed while in-store - removing any uncertainty as to the final assessed value. Be aware that Apple’s in-store trade-in values may differ from the on-line estimate.

Before parting with your iPad, whether trading-in or selling privately, ensure that the device is properly prepared:
