I have a trade-in question. Do I need to send in the old Mac before the new Mac arrives? I want to transfer files before sending it in.

The fastest, easiest and best way to Migrate to the new Mac is using your Time Machine backup instead of Mac to Mac.
Do not Migrate Mac to Mac over your local network because it is prone to fail.
Just connect your Time Machine backup drive to the new Mac during the initial setup and select Migrate from Time Machine.
If you do not have a Time Machine backup for your old Mac, then you need to get an external drive and make one before you get and setup the new Mac.

No, you don't need to send it in before the new Mac is delivered.
Just send in the Mac and it's power cord. The mouse and keyboard are yours to keep.
