For buyers
How to buy phones and tablets in bulk on Dealrs
Post a buy request in the app
Say which phones and tablets you need, the quantity, the condition, how soon and the price you want to pay. Dealrs reviews every request before it goes live.
We find it and get back to you
The Dealrs team finds verified dealers who have what you asked for and gets back to you.
Inspect, then pay the dealer
Agree the price and delivery with the dealer, check the goods, then pay. Dealrs doesn't take payment between buyers and sellers.
Getting your phone request right
Phone requests go faster when they're exact. Give the model and storage ("iPhone 13, 128GB"), the condition, the colours you'll accept, and whether you need the original box and charger. For used phones, say the lowest battery health you'll take.
If you're buying a mixed lot, list each model and quantity separately. Dealers often have part of a batch in stock and can source the rest, so say when you need it by and whether partial delivery works for you.
Conditions
New, UK-used, Naija-used or refurbished?
The same phone model can be sold in four conditions, at very different prices. Always say which one you want.
Brand new
Sealed in the box and never used. Ask whether it comes with an official Nigerian warranty or is an import. Both are sold as "new", but only one is backed locally by the brand.
What to check
- Seal and box are intact
- Serial number matches the box
- Local warranty or import?
Check effortLow
UK used
Also called foreign-used or tokunbo. The phone was used abroad, then imported. Condition runs from almost new to heavily worn, and many dealers grade their stock, so ask what their grades mean.
What to check
- Ask what the dealer's grade means
- Test every function while it's on
- Look for signs of opening or repair
Check effortMedium
Naija used
Used in Nigeria and sold or swapped back into the market. Usually cheaper than UK used, but more likely to have been opened or repaired, so check parts carefully.
What to check
- Look for opened screws and swapped parts
- Test everything before you pay
- Agree the condition with the dealer
Check effortHigh
Refurbished
Repaired and restored before resale. Ask who did the work and which parts were replaced. A new screen or battery isn't always an original part.
What to check
- Ask who did the work
- Ask which parts were replaced
- Agree a return window before you pay

Chat with Dealrs on WhatsAppCan I buy wholesale phones in Lagos on Dealrs?
Yes. Post a buy request in the Dealrs app with the model, condition and quantity. The Dealrs team finds verified dealers in Computer Village, Saka Tinubu and Alaba who have the phones and gets back to you. Not using the app? Send a product request on this website instead.
What's the difference between UK used and Naija used?
UK used (foreign-used) phones were used abroad and imported. Naija used phones were used in Nigeria and sold back into the market, and are more likely to have been repaired. Neither is a fixed grade, so inspect every phone and agree the condition with the dealer before you pay.
Can I see phone prices on this website?
No. Listings and prices stay inside the Dealrs app and the Dealer Hub, where you can compare unit and bulk prices from different dealers once you have an account.
Does Dealrs check the phones?
No. We verify dealers and review listings and requests before they go live, but we don't inspect goods. You buy from the dealer directly, so check each phone yourself. Our iPhone checklist shows how.
