Google Store Sends 2025 Razr Instead of Pixel 10, Trapping Buyer’s Pixel 7 Trade-In

  • A Google Store customer who ordered a Pixel 10 on May 9 said the package delivered May 14 contained a 2025 Motorola Razr instead.
  • The mix-up became costlier because the order included a Pixel 7 trade-in, leaving the buyer unable to send back the old phone while the replacement dispute remained unresolved.
  • Google support allegedly repeated a 24-to-72-hour response window without providing a fix, with the customer saying meaningful replies came only after repeated emails and another phone call.
