Samsung Phone Trade in Program Issue

Hey guys, weird situation here. I purchased a Fold 3 and Samsung care while also using the trade in program for my S21U in early December. I received my new phone but after a week I did not receive any trade in instructions for my S21U nor did I receive any welcome messages or registration instructions for Samsung care.
I called Samsung and eventually the figured out it is because on their system I have not received my new device yet as the courier did not do something correctly on his end when delivering my new device.
The said they will put a note in their system to contact the courier to get this rectified. It is now January and I still have my old device that I was meant to trade in and still have no Samsung care on my new device. At what stage would I be safe to sell my old Samsung S21U? Will Samsung randomly ask me to send it to them in a year? Thanks.

    Let me consult my crystal ball

  • At what stage would I be safe to sell my old Samsung S21U?

    I thought the whole deal was to get the trade in bonus and just pay the actual trade in value. Surprised anyone actually sent their phone back.

  • I've not been sent any instructions on my S21+ u got 3 weeks ago. My gf got nothing on her s21 she got 6 months ago.

  • Will Samsung randomly ask me to send it to them in a year?

    No i dont think so as prices for used mobiles drop quite fast.

    Just sell the phone, as long as it is more than the Samsung trade-in amount.

    Best case they don't ask for it, worst case they ask you to pay back the trade in amount. Either way, winning.

  • Thanks for the replies everyone, i'm thinking of just rolling the dice and selling privately. Sucks i didn't get the Samsung care I paid for but the private sale would make up for that i guess.

  • Any updates? I still haven't received my email and thinking to trade it in again (another phone)

    • Nothing, already sold it on ebay lol

      • Lol, I'm planning to trade in the same phone for another flip 3. Best of luck to us both that asurion doesn't followup
