Eligible old iPads to trade-in;
iPad 2
iPad 3
iPad 4
iPad 5

Eligible surface devices;

Surface Go 2 from $629
Surface Laptop Go - from $879
Surface Pro 7 - from $1149
Surface Pro X - from $1699
Surface Book 3 - from $2399
Surface Laptop 3 - from $1599

Trade-In Process:

  1. Purchase a surface device from above at the Microsoft Store
  2. Get an online valuation of your old device to trade in
  3. Upload surface purchase details
  4. Send your old device in
  5. Receive the valuation amount back into your bank account
  6. Receive your new surface device

iPads 2, 3, 4, and 5 give a high valuation compared to most other devices for some reason, I think it has to do with purchasing these specific surface devices because purchasing anything else drops the value significantly.

                        @neonlight: Just click on the online chat with MS from the product page

                        https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/d/surface-laptop-go/94fc0bdg…

                        I would recommend to do it ASAP because $777 promo may only last a few days and may sold out, you can still keep it unopen in case needs to return.

                        • neonlight on 01/10/2021 - 09:40

                          @superforever: is it? I'm not sure about if its lasting that long didn;t know its a promote

                        • chillipaste on 01/10/2021 - 10:19

                          @superforever: Can't seem to find the online chat button ?

                        • nickeveli on 01/10/2021 - 10:36

                          @superforever: Thanks mate, wouldn't have seen this special without you posting it! Organising a refund now.

                        • neonlight on 01/10/2021 - 10:40

                          @superforever: I see I also confirmed that its not just this time, but if the price is lower than $777 within the 60 days period from that day you purchased you can claim the difference again.

                          So best to do it now as you suggested and if it gets lower, then ask again.

                          I saved that chat in case.

                          Never the less see what happens with CExchange…..did you @superforever get your email they have received your parcel? My Auspost tracking shows delivered but nothing from CExchange

                          • superforever on 01/10/2021 - 12:05

                            @neonlight:

                            Good to know.

                            .did you @superforever get your email they have received your parcel?

                            Not yet from CExchange but auspost said delivered yesterday. I think they will need sometime to process.

              • chillipaste on 30/09/2021 - 15:26

                @superforever: Where is the online chat function? Can't find it at all, only a phone number

                • neonlight on 01/10/2021 - 10:57

                  @chillipaste: you can find that popup under product support there's no link, the talk to the expert one i think

                • BargainShopaholic on 01/10/2021 - 16:30

                  @chillipaste: I couldn't find the online chat function either, so I just gave them a call and they did the refund for me straight away.

                  I'd do the price match now because apparently they only do it if they have the exact item in stock.

              • neonlight on 30/09/2021 - 20:55

                @superforever: I think we should wait until Cexhange credit us and if not no need to do any surface promise price difference refund just return the whole unit. I would wait til 50th day or see if the price drop more

        • turk182 on 30/09/2021 - 13:31

          Keep in mind the surface go 3 is released next Tuesday so they may remove the go 2 from their website

          • superforever on 30/09/2021 - 13:36

            @turk182: Yeah Surface Laptop Go also dropped.

            • newsat on 30/09/2021 - 19:10

              @superforever: I have the laptop go, tempted to price match as is, seems like they don’t want to go to HN levels unfortunately

              • superforever on 30/09/2021 - 19:12

                @newsat:

                Seems like they don’t want to go to HN levels unfortunately

                I don't understand, MS just want us to return it and buy from HN?

                  @superforever: The are now listing the Surface laptop go 128 GB as $777 on their website if anyone wants to price promise match. Good value!

                  • superforever on 01/10/2021 - 09:03

                    @newsat: Yeah I knew Microsoft will price match them, may be because I online chat with them yesterday.

                    Hope price match won't affect the trade in, I will keep it unopen until I received the money.

                    Done they accepted refund the difference.

                    • newsat on 01/10/2021 - 09:57

                      @superforever: yep, worth matching and waiting. I nearly did the $938 match last night but glad I waited. Very good price. Cexchange have my ipad and mention letting me know within 15 days so will wait till then until I am completely happy :)

                      • superforever on 01/10/2021 - 10:00

                        @newsat: Since Applause confirmed with them the $4xx is correct so should be fine if your iPad is fine.

                        I am wondering whether because I asked them yesterday regarding HN $777 price match

              • neonlight on 01/10/2021 - 11:05

                @newsat: As of today the price has dropped to $777 do the price match now

            • neonlight on 30/09/2021 - 20:53

              @superforever: That's really bad. How to get them refund the difference??

        • superforever on 01/10/2021 - 09:33

          Thanks @Applause for the deal and the reminder only 1 price promise per order and just matched $777 from their own store.

          • fomal on 25/10/2021 - 21:19

            @superforever: you said it yourself, 1 per order.

            • superforever on 25/10/2021 - 21:25

              @fomal: But I read somewhere, somebody confirmed that wasn't the case but I couldn't find it may be from another Surface's post.

                    @superforever: Though it says that when a couple of us asked them in chat while we were matching they said they could do multiple.

  • Applause on 30/09/2021 - 17:32

    My order history on CEXchange has now changed to being empty. Has that happened to anyone else?

    • glashalful on 30/09/2021 - 17:45

      I can still see it when I click on recent orders. But mine isn't received by them yet. Didn't you get any correspondence from them yet since they received yours yesterday?

      • Applause on 30/09/2021 - 18:26

        Nope nothing.

        But I did the trade in order when they were giving $1002.67. They later confirmed it was an error and supposed to be $421.45. But they said they would send it back and asked me to do a new trade in order of the “correct valuation” but it is now at around $40 so I’ve contacted Microsoft to see if they can help.

        • glashalful on 30/09/2021 - 18:43

          Oh, that's awful, them having to send it back just to get the correct evaluation sounds very fishy and evasive. Hope you get a favourable response from MS.

        • superforever on 30/09/2021 - 18:43

          Oh they can't just do $421 for you ?

          • Applause on 30/09/2021 - 18:52

            @superforever: Not if they have already sent it back and are expecting me to do a new trade in of $40. I’m emailed CEX if they can accept the $421.45 valuation without cancelling the order but no response.

      • neonlight on 01/10/2021 - 08:59

        Auspost delivered for me but no email from them confirmed it's received, can see under order history on cexchange.

    • BargainShopaholic on 01/10/2021 - 00:34

      @Applause - my order history is also empty, but they received mine yesterday. So will wait and see.

      • neonlight on 01/10/2021 - 09:23

        Can I ask did you include the appraisal label outside the package or inside? I've included mine inside and auspost delivered but not marked as received by them on the order

        • BargainShopaholic on 01/10/2021 - 09:36

          I included it on the inside. I don’t recall their instructions saying whether to put on the inside or outside.

          • neonlight on 01/10/2021 - 10:58

            @BargainShopaholic: yeah ok did you receive an email from CExchange? i did not eventhough they got the parcel

                • neonlight on 01/10/2021 - 12:14

                  @Dobby33: Right ok so its meant to be received status on the order CExchange then you need to wait for another 15 days, thanks for that info

                  • BargainShopaholic on 01/10/2021 - 12:16

                    @neonlight: @neonlight so can you actually see your device in your order history? Because my order history is empty.

                      TOTAL: $454.34

                      You need logon to https://msaustralia.cexchange.com/ your account login with the one you created during trade-in

                      Look for order history button

                        @neonlight: Thank you so much! Yes I found it now, mine is also showing pending receipt.

                        I agree with your comment below, I’m also thinking now I should’ve included the appraisal slip on the outside.

                        Oh well we just gotta wait and see.

                • BargainShopaholic on 01/10/2021 - 12:15

                  @Dobby33: @Dobby33 that’s good to hear.

                  Did you include the appraisal label on the outside of the package or inside? And was your order history empty until they received it?

                  • Dobby33 on 01/10/2021 - 12:40
                    +2

                    @BargainShopaholic: I provided the label inside the package. My order history had my actual order in there when I checked yesterday.

                  • neonlight on 01/10/2021 - 12:40

                    @BargainShopaholic: I'm starting to think i should have included outside, because that way they would scan it immediately no need to open

                • superforever on 01/10/2021 - 12:40

                  @Dobby33: Did they actually said 15 days in the email? Did you ask you for paypal or bank account?

                  • Dobby33 on 01/10/2021 - 12:41

                    @superforever: Yeah they said 15 days in the email. I haven't had an option to ask for payment so not actually sure how I will be receiving it.

                    • superforever on 01/10/2021 - 12:43

                      @Dobby33: Thanks, as I understand from people that did it before, they only offer paypal not bank account.

                      Did they confirm the trade value in the email?

                      • Dobby33 on 01/10/2021 - 16:37

                        @superforever: No there wasn't any mention of the trade value. I assume that will come once they've done their appraisal.

    Initiated return with MS.
    unfortunately, its been a big waste

  • appleosprey on 01/10/2021 - 18:51

    If anyone purchased the surface 2 the ms website is showing for $477. A good price drop for them to match. I wonder if it will become even cheaper?

    • iChopstick on 01/10/2021 - 19:43

      60 days to find out.. though $477 could expire any time, since they are probably price matching someone else.

      • abc on 01/10/2021 - 20:37

        I got the promo email says pricing valid until 4th Oct 11:59pm.

        • iChopstick on 02/10/2021 - 10:02

          Hmm, might not make it then. Their call centre is closed on the weekend and Monday 4th Oct is a public holiday. Would they honor it on Tue if price is adjusted back to normal…

          Nvm, managed to get the difference refunded through Live Chat.

    Remember to ask MS to match it if you bought this version.

  • Poombear on 03/10/2021 - 22:59

    I’m expecting to see a returns option for a surface in the order history/detail but can’t seem to see it under the delivery detail - anyone else have this issue or know how to start a request?

    • Poombear on 04/10/2021 - 10:07

      Does the product need to be opened and signed in so that it appears under my devices, in order for the returns option to appear?

      Same delivered Wed. Got no email nothing

      I think something is dodgy there.

      As in they will wait til appraisal date is over which is 6 days. And said never received it before that date. Although auspost tracking shows delivered

      Since past 10th October they will not honour that money to you

      Yes, somebody received confirmation email, give them sometime to process a large amount of orders, also long weekend in Sydney.

      • neonlight on 05/10/2021 - 13:17

        yes but he/she might have gotten in earlier before the influx of parcels came in for over $400 trade in value.

        There's high chance someone put stop there

  • Al123 on 05/10/2021 - 09:39

    Sent the iPad 2 to the local post office (metro Vic) by lunch time on 27th Sep.

        Has nothing to do with my one, already arrived Auspost. Whether they will open and process package is up to Cexchange.

        Still showing:-

        STATUS: Pending Receipt
        TOTAL: $454.34

        Gut feeling they pretend it never arrived.

        • superforever on 05/10/2021 - 14:52
          +1

          I will give them a bit more time since they should have a lot of package arrive for them to open.

          Because the parcel sent to Grays online, not sure whether they are in the same office, may not the same people receive it and email out.

          Also today is only the first day back from long weekend.

          Just like I did Samsung phone trade in, it did take sometime.

          • Al123 on 05/10/2021 - 16:09

            @superforever: Thanks for the info.
            Suppose the trade-in physical processing is outsourced to Grays online. Won't be surprised if CEXchange has no staff in Australia.

            • superforever on 05/10/2021 - 16:44
              +1

              @Al123:

              if CEXchange has no staff in Australia.

              No idea

              I think just like the Samsung trade in deal if the manufacturer support the deal no reason why they don't honour it.

              Of course CExchange or Grays online will not pay $4xx for old iPad, may be MS will pay them $400, so why not?

              • neonlight on 05/10/2021 - 19:37

                @superforever: The ultimate question is does MS honour those $ out of the bucket they had. Maybe they didn't expect such huge surge of people doing this until this post here. And if CExchange will proceed with the trade in. Right now it's all speculation until someone here got the trade in value and marked as received and processed fully

                  @neonlight: Don't believe MS would take the risk to lose these customers & partial of its reputation permanently.

                  This special Trade-in program is believed more a targeted marketing, for MS to pinch some of loyal Apple customers.

                  Otherwise the MS store 60-day refund policy, could only help it get more Surface product returns (including $777 Laptop Go), and help Apple to sell more new iPads & Macbooks.

              @Al123: Funny though if they got no staff then how they validate or assess these trade in packages

            @superforever: Let's hope so my one arrived last Wednesday and that's 3 working days already, marking it as received its not hard. If it keeps staying pending rest of this week probably not a good sign.

            Since auspost confirmed delivered there's no way they haven't got it

            Make me wonder who can you contact if they declare as never received when I have proof fr Auspost tracking is there

    Anyone have any movement on their trade ins?

    • neonlight on 06/10/2021 - 19:19

      None nothing all silent. If you how to chase them let us know

  • lothus777 on 06/10/2021 - 18:12

    My iPad arrived last week on Friday, still awaiting updates…

    • neonlight on 06/10/2021 - 19:19

      Heh my one arrived last Wed heard nothing

      Still pending receipt. No chance I reckon this deal is real. They have taken us for a ride.

      High chance too many people sent their iPads and now they dunno what to do asking headquarters or MS for funds or make a final decision on this trade in

      Hence everything appraisal is in pending from X day. Those who got in quick probably got it processed. After that cut off they probably stopped

    So after having an order status of pending, I have now realised my order history is now empty. So not really sure what's going on at the moment.

    • Dobby33 on 06/10/2021 - 21:15

      Actually ignore that. I have noticed the order shows up on Safari but not on my desktop browser.

    I checked my auspost tracking and it was delivered to Sydney yesterday. I went into cexchange website and logged in. I clicked on my orders and it showed nothing. There was a new section called payments and I never saw that before. I clicked on it and I was able to enter my bsb and account number. Hope this means that something maybe happening.
