Step by step
- Send your requirement. Models, storage, grades, quantities, SIM requirement, and destination. Use theinquiry form, email, or WhatsApp.
- Receive a price list.within 24 hours, you get a dated list with price per unit per grade and current availability. Valid 48 hours. The price list and packing list state five fields for every unit: version, network lock, IMEI status, Activation Lock and SIM slot.
- Confirm and pay the deposit. I send a proforma invoice. You transfer the 30–50% deposit. Sourcing starts when it clears.
- Sourcing and inspection. I pick units against your specification and run each one through the inspection process. You receive the lot list and one video per unit. Sealed new units are not opened. They are verified by the IMEI and serial number on the box against Apple's coverage check, recorded on video with the box seals intact, and carry Apple's own warranty.
- Approve and pay the balance. Reject a unit from the videos and it is swapped or removed from the invoice. Then you pay the balance.
- Shipment.DHL or FedEx with the IMEI list on the documents. Tracking is sent the same day.
- Delivery and check. Film the unboxing. Report any mismatch within 48 hours. Functional faults are covered for 60 days under the warranty below.
Shipping terms
- All shipments are FOB Origin (Shenzhen). Risk of loss passes to you when DHL or FedEx collects the package. Customs, duties and taxes at destination are your responsibility. Shipping insurance is optional and quoted on request.
- Door to door: DHL or FedEx on my account, with freight added to the invoice at cost plus handling. Import permits at destination are also your responsibility.
Payment security, both ways
- Bank transfer only, to the account on the proforma invoice. No payment links, cards, crypto, or Western Union.
- The account details never change by email or chat. If you receive new bank details, call me on video before sending anything.
- I do not offer credit or consignment. Deposit before sourcing and balance before shipment.
- Only cleared funds count. Screenshots of transfers are not payment.
Disputes and warranty
If a unit does not match its grade, recorded model details, or SIM configuration on the lot list, send the unboxing video and your own photos within 48 hours of delivery. I regrade, replace it on the next shipment, or credit the difference. Damage in transit is claimed with the courier, which is why every carton is filmed being sealed.
Pre-owned units carry a 60-day functional warranty from the delivery date. It covers the functions on the grading checklist and excludes physical damage, liquid damage, and faults caused by misuse or repair after delivery. Within 15 days of delivery a faulty unit is replaced or refunded, or kept against a partial credit, and I pay shipping both ways once the fault is confirmed on video. From day 16 to day 60 the unit is repaired at no charge for labour, with major parts such as a screen or battery charged at cost, or credited instead of returned; shipping both ways is yours. Returns need an RMA number, valid for 14 days. Sealed new units carry Apple's own warranty instead.
A unit carrier-blacklisted after delivery, within the warranty period, counts as a functional fault: the blacklist-check result stands in for the fault video, and the unit is replaced or credited rather than repaired. This does not apply to units the price list stated as being under an open carrier finance plan. Full wording is in the terms of sale.
What I do not do
- Quote without a country and quantity.
- Ship phones that are reported lost or stolen, carrier-blacklisted, or Activation Locked, at any price.
- Sell to consumers. This is a wholesale service for shops, refurbishers, and distributors.
