Direct answer
Read a wholesale phone list as five columns, not a headline. Confirm model and storage, grade language, quantity you can actually take, what is missing from the box, and who pays if a unit fails a power-on check.
Key takeaways
- A lot title is not a specification. Ask for the row-level list.
- Grade words only help when the seller defines them on the same page.
- Missing chargers and swollen batteries belong on the invoice notes, not in a later argument.
A wholesale list is useful when you can reject a row. If you cannot reject a row, you do not yet have a list.
The five checks
- Model and storage. Write the exact model code and the GB size. Marketing names hide two or three SKUs.
- Grade. Ask the seller to define A, B, and C on the same message: screen marks, battery health, and whether the device powers on.
- Quantity you will take. A line of 200 is not an offer if you only want 20. Say the take quantity before the price talk.
- Box and accessories. Note charger, cable, earpieces, and original box. Used lots often ship as handset only.
- Fail rule. Agree what happens if a unit does not power on or fails IMEI check at your counter.
What we do at Kondor Phone
When we quote a lot, the message includes those five fields. If a field is unknown, we write “unknown” rather than a soft word. Soft words start disputes.
Before you book a crate
Export lots also need packing photos, a weight estimate, and a document set. Those are a separate checklist from grade language. Do not treat a pretty lot photo as a packing plan.
Frequently asked questions
Should I pay against a photo of a pile of phones?
No. Pay against a counted list with models, storage sizes, and grades. Photos are context, not a count.
What if mixed storage sizes are in one line?
Split the line before you book freight. Mixed storage changes both price and what a shop can sell.
