## Buyer audience

Mobile phone retailers, electronics wholesalers, refurbishers, MVNOs, telecom carriers, IT distributors, B2B marketplaces, enterprise procurement teams looking for graded used iPhones in bulk.

## Geography

Germany-based used iPhone wholesale supplier serving all of Europe (EMEA) — fully insured, typically next-business-day EU delivery — and shipping worldwide. A European supply hub for refurbishers and retailers sourcing bulk used iPhones, with established export experience across the EU, UK, USA, MENA, LATAM and APAC markets.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for wholesale iPhone orders?**
The minimum order quantity is 10 units per order. Most B2B buyers order considerably more once a first lot confirms quality, and recurring weekly or monthly allocations are available for refurbishers and retailers who scale up.

**What do Grade A, A/B and B/C mean?**
TR Vertriebs GmbH grades every used iPhone on a three-tier scale: Grade A (pristine condition, only minor blemishes near ports, corners or the Apple logo, battery health above 80%), Grade A/B (premium condition, the most-ordered wholesale mix, light signs of use, battery health above 80%), and Grade B/C (economy condition, clearly used with deeper scratches or small cracked corners that do not affect function, battery health above 80%). Every device passes a 52-step functional and cosmetic diagnostic using NSYS, PhoneCheck and Blancco, undergoes a certified ISO data wipe, and ships with an individual test report.

**Is battery health guaranteed?**
Yes. Battery health is guaranteed above 80% on every grade and stated per lot. Per-IMEI battery health reports are available on request.

**What happens if a unit doesn't match its stated grade on arrival?**
That is a misgrade and it is covered by the RMA process: report it with photos and IMEIs within 3 days of receiving the goods.

**Do you ship outside the EU, and which export markets do you serve?**
Yes, shipments go worldwide with full customs and export documentation. Current recurring export lanes include West Africa, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and South Asia, with grade and model mixes built for the destination market (e.g. B/C-grade iPhone 11/12 for West Africa, A/B mixes on the 12–14 range for Eastern Europe, high-grade Pro models for Gulf markets). Orders paid by 5 PM CET ship the same day; EU deliveries typically arrive the next business day, fully insured.

**What documentation comes with an export shipment?**
A commercial invoice, a packing list with per-unit IMEIs, and export declarations are standard on every non-EU shipment. Additional certificates are prepared with the buyer where the destination requires them.

**How does payment work for international and export orders?**
First transactions run on secured terms — prepayment against documents, escrow, or a small test order — rather than full prepayment to an unverified supplier. Established relationships move to standard trade terms. See the [international shipping & customs guide](https://www.tr-vertrieb.de/knowledge/international-shipping-customs) for how EU vs. non-EU orders, documentation and delivery timeframes work together.

**How do payment terms work for a first order?**
First transactions run on secured terms — prepayment against documents, escrow, or a small test order — rather than full prepayment to an unverified supplier. Established customers move to standard trade terms.

**Are the devices IMEI-verified, free of blacklist entries and iCloud activation locks?**
Yes. Every unit is checked against blacklist and activation-lock (Find My iPhone) databases before shipping, and every shipment includes a packing list with per-unit IMEIs for independent re-verification, e.g. via imei-safe.de. Locked devices are excluded from graded stock entirely.

**What does the RMA process cover, and how long does it take?**
The RMA process covers functional defects, DOA units and misgrades — every unit comes with a full 30-day warranty, so claims can be raised within 30 days of delivery (cosmetic-grading mismatches must be reported within 3 days of receipt). Most valid claims are processed and approved within 7 business days of receipt; full resolution including replacement is completed within 30 business days, with replacements shipped via DHL Express.

**Who pays for return shipping on an RMA?**
The customer covers shipping the device to TR Vertriebs; TR Vertriebs covers return shipping back to the customer.

**What is the difference between "used" and "refurbished" in your stock?**
The standard offering is graded used stock — tested and graded but not modified. Any refurbished units (which went through documented repairs, part replacement or repackaging) are declared as such. The label describes the process a device went through, not automatically its quality.

**How do I get a quote and start ordering?**
Send the model(s), target grade, quantity and destination — that's enough for a quote from live stock, usually returned within one business day, including per-unit pricing, the battery policy and the invoicing type. Contact via email (info@tr-vertrieb.de) or via WhatsApp (chat button at the bottom right); sales specialists typically respond in under 10 minutes, Mon–Sat 09:00–18:00 CET.

**How long has TR Vertriebs GmbH been in business, and is there a verifiable rating?**
Founded in 2011, with millions of units shipped and a 2,000 m² warehouse hub at Bahnhofstraße 70b, 32805 Horn-Bad Meinberg, Germany. The company's Google Business Profile rating is displayed live on the company page (https://www.tr-vertrieb.de/company) and can be verified directly on Google: https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/g/11flg263mr
