if you can get someone to do that for you there will be plenty profit.
also the chinese taobao sellers hold very large amount of iphone 3gs, if you can buy from them then get them sent over here there is also good profit to make.
Bear in mind there might be VAT or Tax charge on arrival.
EMS is better to avoid tax but it takes longer and not as reliable as UPS OR DHL.

Factory unlocked handsets are not all from Hong Kong & to be quite honest I wouldnt touch any Chinese sellers if my life depended on it!

Thank you for your comments none the less

I was thinking, dunno how is that possible tho' but what if we all gather all potential Iphone buyers, that will add up MOQ hugely and find the "dream" Chinese warehouse)

Why not call apple uk and ask them for distribution chanells ,year ago iwas in touch with guy distributing apple over ireland he visited me and told me what requirements you need to meet to become an apple reseller directly and what profits you can make on their products .... So i just gave best thing about it is that apple factory is in my city but even if you want to buy from them they will send you to apple uk for possible distributors
The only deals they could give was on reufurbs( small margin) but this is going out of topic now.
Apple has very good policy about reselling their products and its hard to make big profit on it thats why they are so big now
