Home / Supplier checklist
A practical checklist for B2B buyers evaluating refurbished iPhone suppliers before PI approval, trial orders, and repeat replenishment.
A reliable iPhone wholesale supplier should clarify grade, lock status, clean IMEI expectations, QC proof, claim evidence, payment terms, and destination compatibility before asking you to approve a PI.
Can they explain buyer type, destination, model mix, and grade target before quoting?
Avoid generic mixed-lot offers that skip resale context.
Ask for grade, diagnostic, battery, IMEI, and packing evidence format.
Agree what evidence is stored for later claim handling.
Are MOQ, lead time, payment route, warranty, and RMA rules written clearly?
Do not approve vague PI terms for first orders.
Use first delivery feedback before increasing quantity.
Blind-box lots can hide grade, battery, activation, and claim risk. Professional B2B buyers usually protect margin with clearer SKU, grade, and proof requirements.
A trial should test cosmetic grade match, functional checks, battery expectation, IMEI or serial traceability, packing quality, communication speed, and claim handling rules.
Not necessarily. A lower unit price can become expensive if return rates, buyer disputes, poor battery standards, or unclear RMA terms damage resale margin.
Include model, storage, grade, quantity, lock status, battery expectation, destination, target channel, QC proof needs, payment terms, and timing.
