Hello,

I am not sure of any supplier's that will sell to a small company or seller at that. You typically have to sell a min of 100,000 or so a year to qualify as a reseller, lol or maybe my figures are way off but I know you really have to be in the business to sell in high volumes.

Hopefully someone else will chime in to assist further.

Hi Helena,

As Don have already pointed out, you will need to source through Apple themselves to get the best price, and they have a huge minimum order quantity.

Don't be fooled into buying from Chinese suppliers offering you 5 or 10 units, they are simply scams where you will loose your money, or at the very best the phones will be fake.

Apple is the brand owner, and Apple own the distribution rights to their products.

For further information on all Apple products, I would suggest that anyone interested in supplying Apple products actually contact Apple to inquire about their distribution network, and how they can access products through it to resell.

Hi Helena,

Welcome to SaleHoo!

Just to add to what fudjj said, it's hard to guarantee that these Chinese suppliers will always offer authentic brands where advertised, or that they have the distribution rights, as the vast majority of brand-name goods that come from China are either replicas or fakes. Companies like Apple are starting to come down like a ton of bricks on anyone flouting the law. Your merchandise can also get seized at Customs if officials do an inspection and realize it is not legit.

To know more about dealing with Chinese suppliers, you might want to check this out:

Hi Helena,

We do have suppliers from other countries that do sell iPhones at wholesale prices not just China. But what they (fudjj and dwmgoods35) were trying to tell you is that to get the cheapest and best price for any Apple product your best choice would still be Apple themselves.

Here are a few suppliers based in the UK that you may want to check out:

Hi Richelle_salehoo i see you posted 3 links there... and i´m just wondering did you check those 3 if any of them where scammers?..... i´m just 1 of those paranoid dudes who just wants to check everything as best as i can, before i start ordering.

I have my eye on Low Price Deals 4u wich seems like a nice site i have been trying to find out about their site but it has been a little hard i gues.... just wondering if u knew any who has been buying from them?

Best regards
Total Rokkie :D

Hi Mettinisson,

I totally understand the cause for such paranoia... who wouldn't be when you hear of scams here and there. But the 3 links I mentioned in my previous post are all verified and trusted suppliers of SaleHoo. You can try searching for them in our member's area so you can take a look at their profiles to learn more about them.

Sorry but we do not have such records. Please note that all business transactions are done directly between the member and supplier, so nothing goes through SaleHoo, hence we have no records of who buys where.

Hope this helps. Cheers! :)

Hi Zhenda,

Just so that im being as respectful as possible, First I wasn't the one looking for iphones I was just stating some truth about inquring them to the other member. Secondly Since I am prejudging here by looking at your UK ebay store, I see that all of your phones that you have listed on there are coming from Hong Kong, Now from what I see from browsing that would be a No, No to recommend as a supplier to anyone looking to sell them on ebay.

Hi everyone,

Dwmgoods35 had a point. If you are a reseller on eBay and your wholesale supplier is also selling on eBay, then, it would be a disadvantage to you because you are practically competing with your supplier. However, if the supplier is selling the goods on eBay @ retail and you get your goods from them @ wholesale which means that you can offer competitive prices without losing money, then, that should be okay.

Also, that is one strategy that a seller can apply-sell on other eBay sites to get more views and to target buyers from a certain country. As with Zhenda's store, they are based in Hong Kong but they are also listing their products in eBay UK but as long as the listing states the item location or where it is being shipped from, then, that should be no problem.

Have a great weekend, everyone! :)

Cheers,
Haydee

Hello
Thank you to share your common.

Actually we supply many different products; most of them are not list on eBay.

we had agreement with our clients, if they prefer we not sell on eBay, they can request it, we always communicate with our clients, like now, our clients knows we selling console in eBay, but we offered a good wholesale price and they don’t mind we selling too

We also offer dropshiping for them, so they’re saving a lot of time dealing with shipment.
