if you are really looking or iphones then i do have some companies you can talk with. They are legitimate and can provide you with iphones. I can tell you do not go to them looking for large quantities they will assume you are not serious.

The only thing i would add is dont go expecting to find someone with 30,000 or 40,000 in stock somehwere. It is not going to happen. One of my distributors said if you believe you will pick up 40k anywhere of a phone then they have some ocean front property in arizona.

The only place you will find super large quantities of phones is through a distributor.

Can you steer me in the right direction to obtain these Apple I-phones? Thanks.

I agree with what youve posted here. im in the same industry as you and have been working in electronics and phones distribution for a very long time.
It might be worth adding that especially in the fone industry due diligience checks definately need to be applied for all suppliers and buyers. with outout them aswell as your admin you'll get screwed by HMRC.

I still use LC's for transactions over £100,000 but day to day use TT

I wouldnt really worry about the transfer of funds if you've done your verification checks properly.

I also credit insure all my invoices.

Hey everyone...newbie here! It seems to me that if I make a payment through Paypal and I don't get the goods promised or don't get the goods at all, I should be able to call my CC company for a chargeback. When I called my CC company to ask about that, they said that I could. Is there a catch to this that they didn't inform me of?

Always appreciated when someone uses their own time to make a post to benefit other members.

Thanks for the guide

I'd like to clarify this statement. A lot of people think just because you use your CC to fund your paypal account that you are "protected" against fraud in the event the seller scams you. I would be VERY cautious about this, and honestly it is a case by case basis and depends on your CC company.

For example some CC companies will honor the chargeback in the event something goes wrong and some will not. I have seen both cases happen.

The CC companies that won't will argue that in fact the transaction you made was not between the CC company and the seller, but rather the CC company and Paypal. They will say that they have "honored their obligation" and that a legitimate deal was done between say Visa and Paypal. So you have to check first.

I've seen some chargebacks that have been successful and some that have not. Just be sure you check with your CC company and not blindly assume they will protect you. Good luck.
