iPhone Wholesale – Drop Shipping & Wholesalers

Shopping Product Reviews

We get a ton of requests from trusted Apple iPhone wholesale dealers and direct vendors; the demand for high-end mobile phones is through the roof. The market is potentially profitable, but keep in mind that the market is fiercely competitive.

Online retailers make a living selling mobile phones individually in large numbers, the markup for new Apple iPhones and other brand name mobile phones is between 2-8% per sale if you are buying your inventory from vendors genuine wholesalers.

The truth about wholesale iPhone dealers:

There are alternatives to buying direct from Apple, many online sellers buy their stock from mobile phone dealers, brokers, and direct shippers for fresh stock. Independent iPhone wholesalers supply other phones from respected brands, such as HTC, Motorola, Blackberry, and Nokia.

Selling new phones isn’t the only avenue you can take, liquidated store returns (Grade: A, B, C) and remanufactured phones can be purchased at much larger discounts that can result in higher profit margins.

Most people looking for wholesale iPhones make the mistake of finding suppliers on overseas online trading marketplaces, let me clear up the assumption that you can buy branded electronics from China, which is not the case. You will only get scammed out of thousands of dollars or end up with your product confiscated by customs for trying to import poor quality counterfeit products.

Mobile phone accessories and spare parts retailing continues to provide sellers with excellent profit margins, typically the average gross profit margins for mobile phone accessories and spare parts are between 30% and 75%, depending on the accessory and phone model.

How to find wholesale iPhone suppliers:

One of the most effective ways to find suppliers for your business is to attend trade shows specific to your industry. Trade shows allow you to meet vendors in person and build a personal relationship, you can also join trade associations that allow sellers and buyers to sell and buy inventory directly from legitimate wholesale distributors.

The iPhone provides a great opportunity for resellers and retailers to recognize their opportunity to profit from products that are in demand. I have a background in product sourcing and have been in the wholesale industry for over 8 years and I love every minute of my job.
